[DMANET] Recent Advances in Algorithms School: application form is open

Recent Advances in Algorithms
International Computer Science Student School
May 22–26, 2017, St. Petersburg, Russia
http://raa-school.org


IMPORTANT DATES
Application: February 10, 2017
Notification: February 20, 2017
Registration: February 27, 2017


AIM OF THE SCHOOL

The school offers the unique opportunity to learn about recent
breakthroughs
in several domains of algorithms: from classical areas like network flow
algorithms
and longest paths in graphs to recently emerged areas like streaming
algorithms
and algorithms for high dimensional data. 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.
Bright master students, postdocs, young researchers and even faculty
are also very welcome.


LECTURERS

Michael Kapralov (EPFL)
Streaming Algorithms

Aleksander Mądry (MIT)
Graph Algorithms and Continuous Optimization

Ilya Razenshteyn (MIT)
Algorithms for High-Dimensional Data

Saket Saurabh (IMSc)
Longest Paths in Graphs: Parameterized Algorithms


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.
