OVERVIEW
Discrete mathematics is a broad research area involving the study of properties,
algorithms, and applications of mathematical structures built on discrete
objects. The objective of this workshop is to gather researchers, postdoctoral
fellows, and graduate students from the Ontario/Quebec area and beyond working
in various fields of discrete mathematics in order to stimulate research collaboration
in this vibrant interdisciplinary area.
The 2013 Ottawa-Carleton Discrete Mathematics Days will be a two-day event
consisting of 6 invited talks and several sessions of contributed talks, while
leaving time for informal discussion. A talk by Professor Ivic Weiss, whose
research connects combinatorics, geometry, and algebra, will be featured as
a Joint Colloquium in the Ottawa-Carleton Institute of Mathematics and Statistics.
The proposed invited speakers are distinguished for excellence in research
in combinatorial designs, graph theory, extremal combinatorics, discrete geometry,
coding theory, quantum computing, and combinatorial optimization. They have
been involved in theoretical, applied, and algorithmic aspects of discrete
mathematics.
FORMAT: 6 invited talks and several sessions
of contributed talks (2 full days). Students and postdoctoral fellows are
particularly encouraged to present.

The Ottawa-Carleton Discrete Mathematics Days are the of fspring of the Carleton
Discrete Mathematics Days, which began in 1978. Since 2002, the Ottawa - Carleton
Discrete Mathematics Days have been held annually in the spring, alternating
its location between Carleton University and the University of Ottawa, and
have been (usually) supported by the Fields Institute. For more information
