Several people have asked me if it is too late to register for the Workshop on Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization to be held March 25--28th at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia. Since this conference features an excellent group of 17 invited speakers, I imagine there are others that would like to know that there is still some space available at WACO. If we reach our limit, I will post a note to this newsgroup. In the meantime, you can send a check for the nominal fee of $10 made out to the Georgia Institute of Technology to: WACO Continuing Education Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA 30332-0385 Perhaps a more important issue is hotel rooms. We only have rooms blocked until March 10th. You should contact the Atlanta Penta directly at (404) 881-6000 and mention "WACO" to get the conference rate of $82 (single or double). [This is a four-star hotel close to the Tech campus -- we plan to run a bus morning and evening, but it is not too far to walk to the meeting rooms in the Instructional Center.] Here is the "final" program: WORKSHOP ON ALGORITHMS, COMBINATORICS and OPTIMIZATION Georgia Institute of Technology March 25--28, 1991 Sponsors: Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications International Business Machines Bell Communications Research Georgia Institute of Technology College of Computing School of Industrial and Systems Engineering School of Mathematics All lectures will be given in Room 205 of the Instructional Center, Georgia Institute of Technology Monday, March 25th 9:15 Opening Remarks Large Scale Discrete Optimization Ellis Johnson, Chair Georgia Tech & IBM 9:30--10:30 William Pulleybank "Helicopter Scheduling and Constrained IBM Research Routing" 10:30--11:00 -Coffee break 11:00--12:00 Les Trotter, Jr. "Discrete Optimization and Classical Cornell Convexity" 12:00-- 3:00 -Lunch break 3:00-- 4:00 Ranga Anbil "Airline Applications of Discrete Amer.
