Conference on "Algebra and Discrete Mathematics", Hattingen, Germany, July 2003

Algebra and Discrete Mathematics 

Symmetries and Ordered Structures under the Influence of Model Theory and
Combinatorics

26 - 31 July 2003
Hattingen (near Essen), Germany

The main focus of the meeting will be the rich interaction between the
theory of infinite permutation groups, specifically realized as
automorphism groups of sufficiently homogeneous structures, and model
theory. Themes which have been pursued with considerable success in this
field include classification theory for homogeneous structures,
reconstruction of the structures from their automorphism groups, including
use of the `small index property', and detailed analysis of
homogeneous structures by means of their automorphism groups.
