Prague Midsummer Combinatorial Workshop V

July 26 - August 2, 1997

First announcement

The workshop continues the tradition of Prague Combinatorial Workshops held since 1993. Oriented on problems of all fields of graph theory, combinatorics and discrete geometry, it will continue in the spirit and informal working atmosphere of the previous meetings. The workshop takes place at DIMATIA and the Department of Applied Mathematics of Charles University which is located in a historic building in the center of Old Prague.

The participants will be accommodated as in the previous years in summer hotels Troja (tennis courts) and Petrska (downtown Prague near the waterfront). The price is 10 $ per night for the participants and 20 $ per night for accompanying persons (prices subject to change). We will also charge symbolic conference fee of 30 $ as a contribution towards the organizational costs, refreshments and discount lunches in the neighborhood of our department. A banquet will be organized in the Valdstejn gardens under Prague Castle on Monday evening. A guided tour to Valdstejn Palace, the seat of the Czech Senate, will be available before the banquet. We will try to organize a closed organ concert for the participants of the workshop as last year.

Informal meeting of the participants is on Saturday July 26 after 3 p.m. in the department (Malostranske square 25, Praha 1 - Mala Strana). The official program will start on Sunday July 27 at 9:30 a.m.

A booklet of problems communicated at the workshop will be published in the Department KAM-DIMATIA Series.
