Discr. Math. To: Multiple recipients of list DMA-LIST ANNOUNCING... Eighth SIAM Conference on Discrete Mathematics Sponsored by SIAM Activity Group on Discrete Mathematics June 17-20, 1996 The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland Discrete mathematics is a relatively young branch of the mathematical sciences, with a wide range of challenging research problems and important applications in industry. It is a dynamic and rapidly expanding field and is experiencing explosive growth in both theory and applications. The conference seeks to bring together participants from the many different environments where discrete mathematics is developed and applied. CONFERENCE THEMES Discrete Mathematics (combinatorics, graph theory, ordered sets) and its connections to other disciplines, including: Computer Science, Biology, Optimization, and Physics. MAIN TOPICS AND INVITED SPEAKERS Computational Biology, Bonnie Berger; Silicon versus Carbon Computers: Which is Fastest?, Richard J. Lipton; Combinatorial Optimization, Laszlo Lovasz; Graph Theory, Paul D. Seymour; Quantum Computing, Peter Shor; Convex Polytopes and Enumeration, Rodica Simion; Graph Drawing, Roberto Tamassia; and Graph Embedding, Carsten Thomassen. MINISYMPOSIA A number of minisymposia has been planned and invited by the organizing committee to supplement the conference themes. ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Edward R. Scheinerman (Chair), Brian Alspach, Lars D. Andersen, Graham Brightwell, Fan R.K. Chung, Derek D. Corneil, Lenore Cowen, Michael Dillencourt, Michael Goodrich, Leslie Hall, Robin Thomas, William T. Trotter, Douglas B. West, Peter M. Winkler, and Jennifer Zito. HOW TO CONTRIBUTE Contributed presentations in lecture or poster format are invited in all areas of discrete mathematics consistent with the conference themes. Each contributor must submit a brief abstract not exceeding 75 words long. For those interested in organizing a minisymposium, prospective minisymposium organizers must provide a session title, a description not exceeding one-hundred words long, a list of four speakers, and titles of speakers presentations. Electronic submission is encouraged. Submit your abstracts and minisymposium proposals via e-mail to: (meetings@siam.org). LaTeX macros for submitting your abstracts are available and will be sent to you upon request, or you can access the macros via gopher.siam.org or http://www.siam.org DATES TO REMEMBER November 1, 1995: Deadline for submission of minisymposium proposals. December 1, 1995: Deadline for submission of contributed abstracts. ELECTRONIC ACCESS Additional information regarding the conference can be accessed in electronic format via SIAM's Gopher Server: gopher.siam.org or through the World Wide Web: http://www.siam.org -- ****************************************************** Contributions to be spread via DMANET are submitted to DMANET@math.utwente.nl Replies to a message carried on DMANET should NOT be addressed to DMANET but to the original sender.
