Andr?s Frank (E?tv?s University, Budapest): Constructive characterizations
Thomas Rothvo? (University of Washington, Seattle): Extended formulations
David Shmoys (Cornell University, Ithaca): t.b.a.

---

IPCO conference:

34 papers, selected by the program committee (chaired by Jon Lee), will be presented in single-track sessions.
The detailed program is online now.
Each participant will receive a copy of the proceedings (Springer LNCS) at the conference.

---

Poster session:

We plan a poster session at the welcome reception on June 22.
If you want to present a poster, submit title and abstract before March 31.

FRICO 2014
Future Research in Combinatorial Optimization

July 30 - August 02, 2014
Magdeburg, Germany
http://www.frico.ovgu.de

Workshop for young researchers (students, Ph.D. students, postdocs)

********************** CALL FOR REGISTRATION ************************

We are pleased to announce that this year's FRICO will take place at
Institute of Mathematical Optimization, Otto-von-Guericke-Universit?t
Magdeburg, Germany.

FRICO 2014 is the 18th workshop in a sequence of successful meetings
that bring together young researchers in order to establish new contacts
and exchange ideas in the field of combinatorial optimization.

FRICO is intended to be a workshop in the original meaning of the word.
In particular, we encourage the submission and presentation of on-going
and future research (even work containing gaps and unsolved problems).
Besides plenty of time between sessions, there will be a social program
that allows participants to exchange ideas and have fruitful discussions.

Participation is free of charge. Registration due date: May 31, 2014

As in the tradition of previous FRICOs, a best-talk prize will be
awarded. Furthermore, we also plan to invite partners from the industry
to highlight the application of combinatorial optimization in practice.

The Faculty for Mathematics of the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg,
Germany, invites applications for a

W2-Professorship for Pure Mathematics

at the Institute of Algebra and Geometry, to be filled as
soon as possible. A W2-Professorship is comparable to an
Associate Professorship.

We are looking for an internationally renowned scientist in the field
of Combinatorics, ideally with a focus in Algebraic or Geometric
Combinatorics.
