Combinatorial commutative algebra concerns discrete methods or structures that govern or are governed by systems of polynomial equations, for example in algorithmic computations of their solution sets. This field is growing rapidly, to the extent that some of the key researchers in the area have never met in person. The MOCCA conference http://www.uni-magdeburg.de/mocca, to be held in Levico Terme, Italy for a week in September, 2014, will rectify this situation with an unusual worldwide portfolio of two dozen invited speakers and a particular focus on early career participants; it is the major event in the area of combinatorial commutative algebra in Europe in 2014. Funding through this grant enables the organizers to support U.S.-based mathematicians traveling to Levico and thus allow these researchers to interact face-to-face with other MOCCA participants, integrating them fully into the international community.The MOCCA conference will provide an opportunity for researchers in commutative algebra to interact, exchange ideas, and establish new connections. Developments are expected in the applications of combinatorics to positive-characteristic methods as well as to representation theory and algebraic geometry. The two dozen invited speakers have diverse backgrounds broadly covering combinatorial commutative algebra. Special focus on early-career participants will allow for an active, stimulating, hands-on atmosphere. With an expected 50 attendees other than the invited speakers, the conference is small enough so that people will know each other while at the same time diverse enough to foster innovation. The conference is expected to serve as an inspiration to participating students and as a source of new ideas and new colleagues for speakers and participants.

组合交换代数涉及控制或被多项式方程组控制的离散方法或结构，例如在其解集的算法计算中。这个领域正在迅速发展，以至于该领域的一些关键研究人员从未见过面。MOCCA会议http://www.uni-magdeburg.de/mocca将于2014年9月在意大利莱维科特尔梅（Levico Terme）举行，为期一周，将通过邀请24位来自世界各地的受邀演讲者，并特别关注早期职业参与者，来改变这种局面；这是2014年欧洲组合交换代数领域的重大事件。通过这项资助，组织者可以支持美国数学家前往Levico，从而使这些研究人员能够与MOCCA的其他参与者进行面对面的交流，使他们充分融入国际社会。MOCCA会议将为交换代数研究人员提供一个互动、交流思想和建立新联系的机会。预计组合学在正特征方法以及表示理论和代数几何中的应用将有所发展。二十几位受邀的演讲者有着不同的背景，广泛涉及组合交换代数。特别关注早期职业参与者将允许一个积极的，刺激的，动手的氛围。除了受邀的演讲者外，预计将有50名与会者，会议规模很小，以便人们相互了解，同时又足够多样化，以促进创新。会议将激励参加会议的学生，并为演讲者和参与者提供新想法和新同事的来源。
