DIMACS Workshop on Algorithmic Challenges in Optimization, Game Theory
and Computer Science: in Memory of Leo Khachiyan
March 9 - 10, 2009
DIMACS Center, CoRE Building, Rutgers University
Organizers:
Endre Boros, Director of RUTCOR, Endre.Boros at rutcor.rutgers.edu

*********************************************************************
This 2-day workshop is dedicated to the memory of Leonid Khachiyan on
the occasion of the 30th year anniversary of the publication of his
landmark result on the polynomiality of LP. Throughout his career,
Leonid Khachiyan attacked challenging algorithmic problems and
provided solutions of great insight. His body of work includes
numerous substantial and famous contributions to optimization and
several related fields. In this workshop well known experts of linear,
convex and semidefinite programing, complexity theory, game theory,
vertex generation and Boolean dualization will present the current
state of the art and survey the developments in the last 30 years.
