Résumé: On the occasion of Laci Babai's approaching 60th birthday we are holding a conference with the title "Combinatorics, Groups, Algorithms, and Complexity" at the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. The date of the meeting is March 21-25, 2010 (Sunday-Thursday), with an opening social event Saturday evening (March 20).

The talks will highlight interconnections between the areas in the title. It is our hope that the conference will inspire new links and further cross-fertilization.

Résumé: DCC is held at the Cliff Lodge convention center in the beautiful Snowbird / Alta Ski areas; located a short ride from the Salt Lake City International Airport. It is an international forum for current work on data compression and related applications. The conference addresses not only compression methods for specific types of data (text, images, video, audio, medical, scientific, space, graphics, web content, etc.), but also the use of techniques from information theory and data compression in networking, communications, and storage applications involving large data sets (including image and information mining, retrieval, archiving, backup, communications, and HCI). Both theoretical and experimental work are of interest.

Résumé: A mathematics research conference will be held in memory of Michael O. Albertson, March 26-28, 2010, at Smith College, Northampton, MA, USA. The conference is entitled 'CoNE Revisited: Celebrating the Inspirations of Michael O. Albertson' and focuses on his areas of research interest, graph theory, combinatorics, and discrete geometry. With Professor Ruth Haas of Smith and Professor Karen Collins (Smith'81) of Wesleyan, Professor Albertson ran at Smith, from 1992 until 2001, a series of CoNE (Combinatorists of New England) conferences, whose open, collaborative, and diverse style we plan to emulate in this memorial conference. All are welcome to attend the talks and social events. Please send any questions to Prof. Joan P. Hutchinson at hutchinson@macalester.edu .

Résumé: The aim of the Trimester COMBINATORICS and CONTROL 2010 is to accelerate the innovation at the interface of algebraic combinatorics, geometric control theory, and geometric numerical integration. The common focus is the role of combinatorial Hopf algebras, which in control build on functional expansions such as Fliess series, and the chronological calculus, extending classical Lie theory.

The trimester is a sequel of events including a school at Centro de Ciencias de Benasque Pedro Pascual (http://benasque.org/2010control/ ) which address this theme at various levels. Each part has limited capacity - for details please see the WWW- site http://dftuz.unizar.es/coco2010/ or contact the organizers directly.

Résumé: First Announcement: The importance of configuration spaces has been growing steadily in central areas of mathematics often related to theoretical physics, hyperplane arrangements, and combinatorics. Despite their simple definition, configuration spaces admit important, broad applications with deep classical ties to knot theory, homotopical algebra, the theory of operands as well as conformal field theory. The theory of configuration spaces also has links to the study of low dimensional topology, and combinatorics. The aim of this initiative is to bring together in Pisa some of the leading experts in these different, but significantly overlapping areas, and to inform on the current state of the art, also promoting interaction among experts in order to foster new developments. This period includes minicourses, seminars, and two workshops May 24-26 and June 21-25 and is part of the CRM PISA 2010 scientific programme.

Résumé: A special Memorial Session of Uri N. Peled will be held on May 23. Submissions related to Uri's work on threshold graphs, Boolean functions, and many other topics in graph theory and combinatorics would be especially welcome.

Résumé: This is the eighth in a series of annual spring workshops sponsored by the New York Number Theory Seminar on problems in combinatorial and additive number theory and related parts of mathematics. In addition to long and short talks, each day of the conference will include a problem and discussion session. Previous CANT conferences have attracted many graduate students as well as research mathematicians, and students are encouraged to attend. A list of lecturers and other information will be posted on the conference website. Mathematicians who wish to speak at the meeting are encouraged to submit a title and abstract to: melvyn.nathanson@lehman.cuny.edu .

Résumé: On the occasion of Doron Zeilberger's 60th birthday we will honor his extraordinary research accomplishments and longstanding influence in mathematics. This international conference will be co-hosted by the Mathematics Department and the DIMACS Center at Rutgers University. In keeping with the breadth of Zeilberger's work, there will be speakers from a wide variety of fields that have been influenced and continue to be impacted by the power of his methods; to wit, Enumerative Combinatorics, Algebraic Combinatorics, and Algorithmic Proof Theory. We anticipate an exciting gathering of former and current students, collaborators, colleagues, and friends.

Résumé: The aim of this meeting is to disseminate recent advances in coding theory, network security and cryptography, and to discuss open problems. The lectures, as well as the contributed talks and posters will be focused on combinatorial structures which have applications to information security.

An NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) is a high-level teaching activity where a carefully defined subject is treated in depth by lecturers of international standing, and new advances in a subject, not taught elsewhere, are reported in tutorial form. ASI students are graduate students or junior scientists from NATO or Partner or Mediterranean Dialogue countries.

Résumé: Matrices with entries consisting only of zeros and ones, whose entry sums of rows and columns are constrained, play an active role in modern mathematics and its applications, extending far beyond their natural context of Matrix Theory, Combinatorics or Graph Theory.

The purpose of this meeting is to bring together mathematicians from different areas with a view to exploring a number of new properties on the set A(R,S), whose insertion tableau has a previously-fixed shape, and identifying fruitful avenues for further research. In spite of their extremely demanding nature, recent developments and procedures have evidenced a remarkable elegance and beauty, strengthening the interdisciplinary approach of the issue. It is the purpose of this meeting to attract more mathematicians to this exciting and important area, and to foster collaborations with other scientific users.

Résumé: This is a follow-up workshop for the 2007 Newton Institute's 6 months program with the same title. As the 2007 program, the workshop will concentrate on three major intertwined areas: Analysis on Discrete Graphs (Discrete Geometric Analysis), Analysis on Fractals, and Analysis on Quantum Graphs, as well as their applications to various areas of mathematics, sciences, and engineering.

Résumé: The 22nd International Conference on Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics (FPSAC'10) will take place at San Francisco State University, August 2-6, 2010. Topics include all aspects of combinatorics and its connections with other areas of mathematics, physics, computer science, and biology. The conference will feature invited lectures, contributed presentations, a poster session, and software demonstrations. As usual, there will be no parallel sessions. The official languages of the conference are English, French, and Spanish. %For more information, please visit:

Résumé: Previously unpublished papers on all technical aspects of sequences and their applications in communications, cryptography, and combinatorics are solicited for submission to SETA 2010.
