International Computer Science Student School
May 22–26, 2018, St. Petersburg, Russia
https://compsciclub.ru/en/raa18
This year, the school is devoted to modern trends in obtaining conditional
hardness of algorithmic problems. In the school will learn about new
developments in complexity theory which allow to derive tight bounds on the
time required to solve computational problems.
The lectures will be taught by the leading researchers in these areas. Each
of the tutorials will provide an introduction to the area and gradually
bring to the current research frontiers. The primarily audience consists of
PhD students interested in Algorithms. Master students, postdocs, young
researchers and even faculty are also very welcome. The school continues
the Recent Advances in Algorithms 2017 school (video recordings of all the
lectures are available at the school webpage: http://raa17.tilda.ws/).
LECTURERS
Ammir Abboud (IBM Research)
Hardness for Polynomial Time Problems
Alexander Golovnev (Columbia University, Yahoo Research)
On Problems as Hard as Satisfiability
Ivan Mihajlin (UCSD)
Non-equivalence of Hardness Assumptions
VENUE
The school is hosted by St. Petersburg Department of V.A. Steklov Institute
of Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences which is located in the
very center of St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg is particularly beautiful in
the late spring — early summer, the white nights season. The city is
surrounded by wonderful tsar parks and palaces; an excursion to one of them
will be a social program of the school.
REGISTRATION
The registration fee is 10000 RUR (approximately 140EUR or 176USD). The fee
includes lectures, coffee breaks, excursion, and school dinner (but does
not include lunches and accommodation). We will process the registrations
on the first-come first-served basis and will close the registration form
when the conference room is fully booked (around 80 participants).

The school is organized by Fedor Fomin, Alexander S. Kulikov, Alexander
Smal, and Monomax Company with the support by Computer Science Club,
Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, and Yandex.
