Latest Information.

A laptop and a beamer are available. We are trying to organize a blackboard.

Please bring your presentation files on a USB stick. As insurance you can send them to organizers till Sunday afternoon. Hard slides can be profitable too.

Traveling: S-Bahn goes to Königstein every half hour, e.g., at 17:00 on Sunday. From Hbf it takes 40 minutes time.

Dinner on Sunday starts at 19 pm.


Dear Colleague,

we cordially invite you to attend the Workshop. Talks on structures and algorithms, on open questions and on applications of discrete optimization are welcome. This workshop will continue the tradition of biannual workshops and scientific cooperation with universities in East Europe.

The workshop will take place in Königstein in the attractive area of Saxon Switzerland south-east of Dresden: http://www.koenigstein-sachsen.de/, in Hotel "Lindenhof" in the town of Königstein (not in the fortress).

The participation fee will be approximately 270€. It includes registration, accomodation (in a double bedroom) and all meals from dinner on Sunday evening till lunch on Wednesday as well as coffee, tea, soft drinks and cakes during the sessions.

The number of participants is restricted to about 25-30.

If you are interested to attend this workshop please preregister informally. To this end, please send an e-mail to gleb.belov.at.at.at...tu-dresden.de containing the following information:

  1. your last and first name;
  2. affiliation;
  3. postal and e-mail addresses;
  4. the topic of your presentation, if you like to give one.

Information about the procedure of final registration will be sent to all preregistered persons by January 20, 2008. In particular, the participants are asked to provide an abstract till February 29. Preferably, use this abstract template for LaTeX. The abstracts will be made available on this site.

For a limited number of researchers from universities in East Europe it will be possible to cover the registration fee. If you are interested in this support please apply within your preregistration.
