U.S.-Canada Joint Workshop on Approximation Algorithms for NP-Hard Problems, Toronto, Canada, Sept. 26 - Oct. 1, 1999

9904068Shmoys该奖项将有助于支持1999年9月27日至10月2日在加拿大多伦多的菲尔兹研究所举办的致力于优化问题的美加多国研讨会，这是专门研究组合优化和图论的特别年的一部分。研讨会由康奈尔大学的David B.Shmoys与滑铁卢大学的Joseph Cheriyan和比利时CORE的Michael Goemans共同组织，他们都是一个杰出的国际组织委员会的成员。研讨会的主题是理论计算机科学和数学规划/运筹学之间的接口。这一奖项将帮助支持该学科领域的14名初级和高级研究人员。通过小组互动和各种主题，被选中参加的人将有机会与小组高级成员和同事会面并讨论当前的问题。还预计，讲习班将促成讲习班参与者之间今后的合作努力。

9904068ShmoysThis award will help to support a U.S.-Canada multi-national workshop devoted to optimization problems at the Fields Institute in Toronto, Canada from September 27 to October 2 1999 as part of a special year devoted to Combinatorial Optimization and Graph Theory. The workshop is organized by David B. Shmoys of Cornell University jointly with Joseph Cheriyan of the University of Waterloo and Michael Goemans of CORE, Belgium, all part of a distinguished international organizing committee. Workshop topics reside on the interface between theoretical computer science and mathematical programming/operations research. This award will help to support fourteen junior and senior researchers in the subject area. Through small group interaction and a variety of topics, those selected to attend will be afforded the opportunity to meet and discuss current issues with senior panel members and colleagues. It is also anticipated that the workshop will lead to future collaborative efforts between workshop participants.***
