OverviewThe objective of the meeting is to gather researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from the Ontario and surrounding area working in various fields of Combinatorics in order to stimulate research collaboration in this vibrant interdisciplinary area and give students some idea of the scope and depth of their discipline. The workshop consists of one-hour invited talk, and two two-hour sessions
of contributed talks daily, presented over three days - Thursday to Saturday.
Opportunities for discussion and initiating joint research are emphasized,
including open problem session. In 2013, the Ontario Combinatorics Workshop will be held in conjunction with the 4th Annual Workshop on Algorithmic Graph Theory organized at Nipissing University. We strongly encourage researchers working in this area to participate and present their recent results at the workshop. Peter Rodney PrizeThe best talk given by a student at the Ontario Combinatorics Workshop will
be awarded the Peter Rodney Memorial Book Prize. This prize of a book and
memorial book plate is given in honour of Dr. Peter Rodney (1965-1995). SubmissionsPlease submit one page abstract, in PDF format, summarizing your talk to the Local Organizer at tzvetalv<at>nipissingu.ca. Confirmed Participants as of May 13, 2013
