Local Information
The Seventeenth Australasian Workshop
on Combinatorial Algorithms (AWOCA 2006) will be held at Uluru, July 13 - 16 and King's Canyon, July 16 - 19, 2006.
AWOCA 2006 will be held in parallel with Dry and Discrete, a traditionally structured workshop with fewer talks and more problem sessions but without refereed proceedings.
NOTE: Ayer's Rock Resort, Uluru and Yulara all refer to the same location.
The workshops will be held in conjunction with and immediately following 31ACCMCC. This juxtaposition of conference and parallel workshops offer a great opportunity to see the natural beauty of Australia's heartland (and do some great work in a unique environment).
AWOCA 2006 will follow the style of its predecessors:
problem-oriented papers and an emphasis on informal discussions.
Authors are invited to
submit
papers that present original and unpublished research in the following
areas:
