ODSA 2010
Rostock (Germany), September 13 - 15, 2010

The deadline for submissions for the conference proceedings has been extended to November 30, 2010.
The conference is over.
Pictures of the conference are available.


The ODSA 2010 conference, to be held at the University of Rostock, continues the ODSA series following previous conferences in 1997, 2000 and 2006. The University of Rostock was founded in 1419 and is the oldest university in northern continental Europe. The old Hanseatic city Rostock is located about 200 km north of Berlin at the Baltic coast.

The conference aims at the interactions between several aspects of Discrete Mathematics, Mathematical Optimization, Theoretical Computer Science, and their applications. In particular, the scope of the conference includes combinatorial optimization and algorithms on discrete structures, extremal problems in posets, design theory, coding theory, and graph theory.

Invited Speakers

Michał Karoński (Poznań, Atlanta) Imre Leader (Cambridge)
Kurt Mehlhorn (Saarbrücken) Walter Wallis (Carbondale)
Peter Widmayer (Zürich) Gerhard Woeginger (Eindhoven)
