This award will support an international conference entitled "New directions in Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization". The central theme of this conference will be combinatorics and its applications in theoretical computer science and operations research. The conference will take place in May 2008 on the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology in midtown Atlanta, and will honor the 65th birthday of William T. Trotter.There are two main reasons for holding the conference in Atlanta, namely direct flights from most of the world's major airports, and the presence of the PhD program in Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization (ACO) at Georgia Tech, with its more than 45 affiliated faculty and 40 students.The conference program will consist of approximately 30 invited lectures, a poster session and a problem session. The conference is expected to attract 200-300 attendees, including local, regional, national and international delegates. A conference proceedings will be published as a special issue of the journal Combinatorics, Probability and Computing.The list of invited speakers includes only the leading experts and fine expositors. The organizing committee consists of experienced senior researchers who will uphold very high standards. Georgia Tech has excellent facilities to accommodate a conference of this type.Using federal support the organizers will be able to offer financial assistance to attendees with no outside funding, including students, postdoctoral associates, junior faculty, women, and underrepresented minorities, with priority given to young people and members of underrepresented groups. While the main lectures will be by invitation only, junior scientists will be able to present in the poster session and participate in the scientific discussions throughout the conference.A further aspect of broader impact is the interplay of mathematics, computer science and operations research, that is already present in the ACO program at Georgia Tech. This conference will further promote the fruitful interactions of these disciplines, drawing upon the successful experience at Georgia Tech, and in doing so will further strengthen the ACO program.The conference proceedings will be stringently refereed subject to the standards of premier combinatorics journals. Thus the conference will have lasting impact not limited to its attendees.

该奖项将支持一个国际会议， 算法、组合学和优化的新方向。本次会议的中心主题是组合学及其在理论计算机科学和运筹学中的应用。会议将于2008年5月在亚特兰大市中心的格鲁吉亚理工学院校园举行，并将荣誉威廉·T。Trotter.在亚特兰大举办会议有两个主要原因，即从世界上大多数主要机场的直飞航班，以及格鲁吉亚理工学院的算法，组合学和优化（ACO）博士课程的存在，其超过45名附属教师和40名学生。会议计划将包括约30个邀请讲座，海报会议和问题会议。会议预计将吸引200-300名与会者，包括地方、区域、国家和国际代表。会议论文集将作为《组合数学、概率和计算》杂志的特刊出版。受邀发言者名单仅包括主要专家和优秀学者。组委会由经验丰富的资深研究人员组成，他们将坚持非常高的标准。格鲁吉亚理工学院拥有一流的设施，以适应这种类型的会议。利用联邦支持，组织者将能够提供财政援助，与会者没有外部资金，包括学生，博士后助理，初级教师，妇女，和代表性不足的少数民族，优先考虑年轻人和代表性不足的群体的成员。虽然主要的讲座将仅限邀请，初级科学家将能够在海报会议上提出，并在整个会议的科学讨论参与。更广泛的影响的另一个方面是数学，计算机科学和运筹学的相互作用，这是已经存在于ACO计划在格鲁吉亚技术。本次会议将进一步促进这些学科之间富有成效的互动，借鉴格鲁吉亚理工学院的成功经验，并在这样做的过程中将进一步加强ACO计划。会议论文集将严格按照顶级组合学期刊的标准进行评审。因此，会议将产生持久的影响，而不仅限于其与会者。
