[DMANET] Workshop "Combinatorial Reconfiguration and Fixed-Parameter Tractability"

Call for Participation
===============================================================================
Workshop "Combinatorial Reconfiguration and Fixed-Parameter Tractability"
December 12, 2022
Online via Zoom

===============================================================================

As a part of the research project "Fusion of Computer Science,
Engineering and Mathematics Approaches for Expanding Combinatorial
Reconfiguration" (head investigator: Takehiro Ito), we are going to
organize Workshop "Combinatorial Reconfiguration and Fixed-Parameter
Tractability" via Zoom on December 12, 2022 (based on European Timezone).

The objective is to learn recent developments of fixed-parameter
(in)tractability and their relations with combinatorial reconfiguration.
In her influential survey paper "Introduction to Combinatorial
Reconfiguration" (Algorithms 2018), Naomi Nishimura dedicated one
section to applications of the parameterized complexity methodology to
problems on combinatorial reconfiguration. Indeed, several papers have
been presented along this line of research. Furthermore, the research
activity on fixed-parameter (in)tractability has been quite active, and
there are a lot of recently introduced methods that are waiting for
being applied to combinatorial reconfiguration. In this workshop, we
will learn recent research trends of fixed-parameter tractability and
combinatorial reconfiguration, and will discuss a new connection between
these two fields of theoretical computer science.

This workshop aims at the broad audience of discrete mathematics and
theoretical computer science, who wish to learn and work on these active
research areas.

The program will be exclusively composed of invited talks. Each talk is
planned to span one hour, including discussion.
