Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences - PIMS

The conference is on the theory and application of discrete structures.  The following are some of the topics which will be discussed: graphs and digraphs, hypergraphs, matroids, ordered sets, designs, coding theory, enumeration, combinatorics of words, discrete optimization, discrete and computational geometry, lattice point enumeration, combinatorial algorithms, computational complexity, and applications of discrete and algorithmic mathematics, including (but not limited to) web graphs, computational biology, telecommunication networks, and information
processing.
