Welcome

Welcome to the website of the São Paulo School of Advanced Science on Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization. The school is organized by the Theory of Computing, Combinatorics, and Optimization group of the Department of Computer Science at IME-USP and made possible by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) under the SPSAS program (grant no. 2015/19068­-0).

The school aims at providing an opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students as well as young researchers to get together and attend advanced courses and talks on current topics in the fields of algorithms, combinatorics, and optimization. In the two weeks of the school, 11 advanced courses and 7 talks will be delivered by renowned researchers from abroad and from Brazil. The school is intended to be a forum for discussions and new collaborations.

Besides the courses and talks, a number of poster sessions are planned. It is expected that supporting material for the courses will be provided by the lecturers, and it is planned that students will work on the material and on exercises. Each of the lecturers will have an assistant, who will assist the students during classwork.

This website is still under construction. Come back often for more information and material. For the moment, check out the preliminary program and schedule.
