Co-sponsored by DIMACS and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
As part of their recent cooperation agreement DIMACS and HKUST are co-sponsoring a workshop from December 18-20, 1998 at HKUST. The goal of this workshop is to foster greater communication and collaboration between DIMACS and algorithm researchers in Asia. Its focus will be on algorithms, combinatorics and the interplay between them.
Two types of talks are planned; extended surveys by 10 distinguished invited speakers and shorter presentations by the attendees describing their current research. In addition, there will be open problem sessions.
