[DMANET] Summer School on Combinatorial Optimization

Summer School on Combinatorial Optimization

August 20-24, 2018 in Bonn, Germany

In this summer school, leading experts present recent progress on classical combinatorial optimization problems, utilizing a variety of new techniques.
Each of the five invited speakers teaches a mini-course spanning three lectures:

- Jaroslaw Byrka (Wroclaw): Hard variants of k-median clustering
- Neil Olver (Amsterdam): Designing networks under uncertain demands
- Laura Sanità (Waterloo): Approximation algorithms for tree augmentation
- Ola Svensson (Lausanne): Approximation algorithms for the traveling salesman problem
- László Végh (London): Strongly polynomial algorithms and generalized flows

Limited financial support for PhD students and postdocs available.
Application deadline: April 30, 2018
