Combinatorics,
Graph Theory and Matroids,
Combinatorial Algorithms,
Coding Theory and Cryptology, and
Ordered Sets
and connections to other disciplines such as
Computer Science,
Computational Biology,
Optimization,
Geometry, and
Probability.

Planning is well under way. Plenary speakers will be
Noga Alon, Tel Aviv University and Institute for Advanced Studies
Ben Green, Clay Institute, University of Bristol, and M.I.T.
Laszlo Lovasz, Eotvos Lorand University and Microsoft Corporation
Michael Luby, Digital Fountain
John Spouge, National Institutes of Health
Rekha Thomas, University of Washington
Avi Wigderson, Institute for Advanced Studies

The meeting will also feature both Minisymposia and Contributed Presentations.
A minisymposium consists of four or five 25-minute talks focusing on a particular topic or area. Listed below by organizer are the minisymposia that have been planned thus far. There is room in the schedule for several more.
If you are interested in organizing a minisymposium, please contact the Chair of the Organizing Committee, Douglas West ([email protected]).
DEADLINES:
January 18: Official submission of minisymposium proposals (a 100-word
description and a list of speakers), via the conference web site.
February 8: Submission Abstracts for all talks (minisymposium speakers and
contributed papers), via the conference web site.
May 29: Advance registration deadline.
