School on Algorithm Engineering

September 10-12, 2001

General Information:

We are happy to announce the "School on Algorithm Engineering", sponsored by ALCOM-FT and co-organized by Giuseppe F. Italiano (University of Rome "Tor Vergata") and by Giovanni Rinaldi (IASI-CNR). Algorithm engineering is concerned with the design, theoretical and experimental analysis, engineering and tuning of algorithms, and is gaining increasing interest in the algorithmic community. This emerging discipline addresses issues of realistic algorithm performance by carefully combining traditional theoretical methods together with thorough experimental investigations. The School is devoted to PhD students and researchers interested in these topics, and will take place in Rome at IASI-CNR, Viale Manzoni 30, on September 10-12, 2001. IASI-CNR is located in the central area of Rome.
The format of the School will be the following: there will be lectures delivered by the invited speakers, and there will be also time for talks and demos, organized in an informal and cozy atmosphere, in order to leave plenty of opportunities for discussions and interactions among participants.

Lecturers:

The list of invited speakers of the School include:

Michael Jünger, Universität zu Köln:
``Branch and Cut Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization''
Kurt Mehlhorn, Max Planck Institut für Informatik, Saarbrücken
``Software Libraries for Efficient Algorithms''
Bernard Moret, University of New Mexico
`Engineering Algorithms for Speed: Principles, Challenges, and Case Studies''

Schedule

Registration and Submission:

To participate in the School on Algorithm Engineering, please register by July 31, 2001 by sending an email either to italiano@info.uniroma2.it or to rinaldi@iasi.rm.cnr.it. There is no participation fee, and meals and accomodation are not covered.
Here is a list of people that already registered for the School. If your name is not there (but it should be), it is misspelled, some important information is missing, etc... etc..., please send mail to italiano@info.uniroma2.it .

Participants who want to present their reseach related to the School's topic or wish to give a demo are invited to submit a 2 page abstract in Postscript or PDF format to italiano@info.uniroma2.it by July 31, 2001.
Such talks will be scheduled on the fly either monday afternoon or tuesday afternoon.

Accomodation

You are supposed to make reservations on your own. For your convenience, here is a list of hotels nearby the School location.

Alcom-FT

The ALCOM-FT project is a joint effort between ten of the leading groups in algorithms research in Europe. The aim of the project is to discover new algorithmic concepts, identify key algorithmic problems in important applications, and contribute to the accelerated transfer of advanced algorithmic techniques into commercial systems.

Please stay tuned as more information on the School will be available soon. You can send me email in case you have any questions.
