Scope:

We are pleased to announce an ICM-2010 satellite conference on Algebraic and Probabilistic Aspects of Combinatorics and Computing, organized jointly by Indian Instiute of Science (IISc, Bangalore) and Microsoft Research India (Bangalore) on behalf of The Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc, Chennai), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR, Mumbai) and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT, Kanpur) under the auspices of the ICM-2010 and the IISc Mathematics Initiative (IMI) at IISc.

This conference plans to provide an exposure to the latest developments in Combinatorics and Theory of Computing where ideas and tools from Algebra and Probability Theory play an important role. In particular, we plan to focus on Algebra and Computation , Communication Complexity , and Probabilistic Combinatorics.
