South-Central Combinatorics Conference

2016年组合德州大会将于2016年5月7日至8日在德州农工大学大学城举行。会议将在周六和周日举行，以便于研究人员参加，并将以6个50分钟的全体演讲和一些贡献的演讲为特色，每个演讲20分钟。预计2016年将有约50名与会者，平行会议将有约20场演讲。CombinaTexas会议系列的目的是增强德克萨斯州和周边各州组合学家的教育和研究氛围，增加该地区数学家之间的交流，并提供一个论坛来展示和讨论组合学领域的最新发展。自2000年德克萨斯农工大学主办第一届会议以来，几乎每年都在美国中南部的不同机构举行。2016年德州组合大会是该系列的第16届会议。会议将通过分发名单和相关的会议网站进行宣传（一个会议网站是http://www.math.tamu.edu/conferences/combinatexas/，包括发言人的标题和摘要）。会议将以广泛的组合研究为特色，包括代数组合学、枚举组合学、几何组合学、图论的广泛领域和各种应用。图论专题会议将由尼尔·罗伯逊教授和丁国立教授主讲。确定的全体会议发言人是Bruno Benedetti教授（迈阿密大学）、Ding guooli教授（路易斯安那州立大学）、Fu Liu教授（加州大学戴维斯分校）、Nicholas Loehr教授（弗吉尼亚理工大学）、Neil Robertson教授（俄亥俄州立大学）和Anne Shiu教授（德州农工大学）。

The CombinaTexas 2016 conference will be held at Texas A&M University, College Station TX on May 7-8 2016. The conference will take place on Saturday and Sunday to make it easy for researchers to attend, and will feature six fifty minute plenary lectures and a number of contributed talks, each twenty minutes long. About 50 participants are anticipated in 2016, with about 20 contributed talks in parallel sessions. The aim of the CombinaTexas conference series is to enhance the educational and research atmosphere of combinatorialists in Texas and the surrounding states, increase communication between mathematicians of the region, and provide a forum for presentation and discussion of the most recent developments in the field of Combinatorics. Ever since Texas A&M University hosted the first conference in 2000, it has been held almost every year at different institutions in the South Central United States. CombinaTexas 2016 is the sixteenth conference in this series. The conference will be publicized using distribution lists and on related conference websites (a conference website is at http://www.math.tamu.edu/conferences/combinatexas/ including titles and abstracts of the speakers).The conference will feature a broad selection of combinatorial research, including Algebraic Combinatorics, Enumerative Combinatorics, Geometric Combinatorics, a wide range of areas in Graph Theory, and various applications. A Special Session on Graph Theory will be led by plenary speakers Professors Neil Robertson and Guoli Ding. The confirmed plenary speakers are Professor Bruno Benedetti (U Miami), Professor Guoli Ding (LSU), Professor Fu Liu (UC Davis), Professor Nicholas Loehr (Virginia Tech), Professor Neil Robertson (Ohio State) and Professor Anne Shiu (Texas A&M).
