ADFOCS is an international summer school held annually at the Max Planck
Institute for Informatics (MPI-INF). 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 "Algorithmic
Foundations of Data Analysis".
