ADFOCS is an international summer school held annually at the Max Planck
Institute for Informatics (MPII). It is organized as part of the activities
of the MPII, in particular the International Max-Planck Research School
(IMPRS), MPII's graduate program. The purpose of this summer school is to
introduce young researchers to topics which are the focus of current
research in theoretical computer science. We bring together three leading
researchers in the field and international participants at the graduate
level and above. This year's focus is on "Foundations of Distributed
Computing."
PROGRAM
--------------
Our invited speakers give five 105-minute lectures/exercises, allowing for
discussions. The lecturers are (in alphabetical order):
* Maurice Herlihy, Brown University, USA
* Rotem Oshman, Tel-Aviv University, Israel
* Roger Wattenhofer, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
