------------
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:

*** Fine-Grained Complexity and Algorithms ***


PROGRAM

Our invited speakers give three 90-minute lectures with subsequent
exercise and discussion sessions. The lecturers are (in alphabetical
order):

* Amir Abboud, IBM Almaden Research Center, USA
