Second Announcement

OPTIMAL DISCRETE STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS (ODSA 2010)

September 13-15, 2010, Rostock, Germany

http://www.math.uni-rostock.de/odsa/


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 Hanse-town Rostock is located about 200 km
north of Berlin at the Baltic coast.

AIMS AND SCOPE

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.
