The Eastern Great Lakes (EaGL) Theory of Computation workshop provides an opportunity for interaction among the thriving collection of theory of computation (ToC) researchers living within a few hours driving distance to Buffalo. The community served by the workshop is large and growing: the region's colleges and universities have more than 90 ToC researchers, including at least 14 junior faculty hired since 2004, at institutions ranging from large research universities such as Carnegie Mellon to small colleges such as Oberlin. The presence of such a large concentration of ToC researchers presents a unique opportunity to gather locally and foster new research collaborations.The main beneficiaries of the workshop are the graduate students in the area who get an opportunity to interact with leaders in ToC in the region (including three Turing award winners and a MacArthur fellow) in a small, relaxed setting. In addition to featuring six invited speaker talks, the workshop includes shorter talks by a few students who are nearing graduation.The award will fund the workshop for the years of 2009 and 2010. This is expected to help it make the transition to an annual meeting. In 2009, the EaGL Workshop will feature technical talks by the following speakers: Allan Borodin (University of Toronto), Mark Braverman (Microsoft Research), Nick Harvey (University of Waterloo), Dexter Kozen (Cornell University), Katrina Ligett (Cornell University) and Adam Smith (Pennsylvania State University). Slides as well as video recordings from the talks will be provided freely on the workshop webpage.

东部五大湖（EaGL）计算理论研讨会为居住在布法罗几个小时车程内的计算理论（ToC）研究人员提供了一个互动的机会。 该研讨会所服务的社区很大，而且还在不断增长：该地区的学院和大学拥有90多名ToC研究人员，其中包括自2004年以来雇用的至少14名初级教师，这些研究人员来自从卡内基梅隆大学等大型研究型大学到奥伯林等小型学院。 本次研讨会的主要受益者是该地区的研究生，他们有机会在一个小型轻松的环境中与该地区的ToC领导者（包括三位图灵奖获得者和一位麦克阿瑟研究员）进行互动。除了邀请六位讲者演讲外，工作坊还包括一些即将毕业的学生的简短演讲。该奖项将资助2009年和2010年的工作坊。 预计这将有助于它过渡到年度会议。 2009年，EaGL研讨会将由以下演讲者进行技术讲座：Allan Borodin（多伦多大学）、Mark Braverman（微软研究院）、Nick Harvey（滑铁卢大学）、Dexter Kozen（康奈尔大学）、Katrina Ligett（康奈尔大学）和Adam Smith（宾夕法尼亚州立大学）。 讲座的幻灯片和录像将在研讨会网页上免费提供。
