[comp.theory] WACO=Workshop on Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization

burns@gatech.edu (James E. Burns) (03/06/91)

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
