Hosted by:
Optimal Discrete Structures and Algorithms (ODSA 2010)
University of Rostock, Germany
The ODSA 2010 conference, to be held at the University of Rostock, continues the ODSA series following previous conferences in 1997, 2000 and 2006. The conference aims at the interactions between several aspects of Discrete Mathematics, Mathematical Optimization, Theoretical Computer Science, and their applications. In particular, the scope of the conference includes combinatorial optimization and algorithms on discrete structures, extremal problems in posets, design theory, coding theory, and graph theory.
