Schloss Blankensee, Germany
Fall School on Algorithmic Graph Structure Theory
=================================================
The DFG Research Training Group
Methods for Discrete Structures
http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/MDS/index.html
offers a Fall School on
Algorithmic Graph Structure Theory
from October 4-7, 2007 at Schloss Blankensee, a castle southwest of
Berlin, near Potsdam. Topics will be algorithmic graph minor theory,
algorithmic aspects of the theory of graph embeddings and the
structure theory of directed graphs, and relations between graph
structure theory, graph algebras and logic.
The main speakers will be will be:
Bruno Courcelle (Universite Bordeaux I, France)
Gregory Gutin (Royal Holloway University of London, UK)
MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi (Carnegie Mellon University, USA)
Robin Thomas (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA)
Bojan Mohar (Simon Fraser University, Canada, and
University of Ljubljana, Slovenia)
The school is addressed to graduate students and postdocs in
mathematics and theoretical computer science who are interested in
graphs, discrete structures and algorithms. Basic knowledge in graph
theory is assumed. Students of other fields are welcome to apply if
they have this prerequisite knowledge.
We invite applications of interested students and postdocs. The number
of participants is limited to about 30. Applications should be send to
Martin Grohe, Humboldt University Berlin not later than
August 1, 2007.
For details on how to apply and further information, see
