MIdwestern GrapH TheorY Conference (MIGHTY) LIII

2012年秋季Midwestern GraphH TheorY LIII（MIGHTY LIII）会议将于2012年9月21日至22日在爱荷华州艾姆斯的爱荷华州州立大学举行。 MIGHTY是一个长期运行的会议系列，吸引了来自全国各地的图形理论家参加为期一天或两天的会议，以传播与图论相关的各种主题的新思想。 典型的主题包括色图理论，有向图，超图和图论的应用（即，到生物和社交网络）。本次会议提供了一个难得的机会，将来自中西部的大量图论研究人员聚集在一起。 全体会议发言人罗恩格雷厄姆和珀西迪亚科尼斯的广泛吸引力将吸引包括学生和初级研究人员在内的许多与会者。 该奖项的大部分资金将用于支付这些参与者的差旅费。 有关会议的更多信息，请访问会议网站：http://www.math.iastate.edu/mighty2012/。

The Fall 2012 MIdwestern GrapH TheorY LIII (MIGHTY LIII) conference will be hosted at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa on September 21-22, 2012. MIGHTY is a long-running conference series which draws graph theorists from across the country to one- or two-day conferences to disseminate new ideas in a wide variety of topics related to graph theory. Topics typically represented include chromatic graph theory, directed graphs, hypergraphs, and applications of graph theory (i.e., to biological and social networks).This conference provides a rare opportunity to bring together a large number of researchers in graph theory from the Midwest. The broad appeal of the plenary speakers, Ron Graham and Persi Diaconis, will attract many participants including students and junior investigators. Most of the funds from this award will support the travel costs of such participants.
