Overview

During July and August 2011, the Fields Institute will host a thematic program on the Mathematics of Constraint Satisfaction. The program will include a 5-day summer school, three focused workshops, the Coxeter Lectures, regular weekly seminars, and extended periods of time for in-residence researchers and students for intensive study. The program will bring together researchers from various communities within pure mathematics and theoretical computer science.

Outline of Scientific Activities

The main activities of the program will be concentrated around a series of three workshops, a summer school, and the Coxeter Lectures. The summer school will take place during the last week of June, 2011 and the three workshops will be held at regular intervals throughout the summer. The Coxeter Lectures will be given by Moshe Vardi (Rice) on July 11-13, 2011.

Participation in the Program

All scientific events are open to the mathematical sciences community, but visitors are requested to indicate their interest in participating in some or all of the planned events by filling out the information form found on the program website. The information form can also be used to request office space or funding. Fields scientific programs are devoted to research in the mathematical sciences, and enhanced graduate and post-doctoral training opportunities. Part of the mandate of the Institute is to broaden and enlarge the community, and to encourage the participation of women and members of visible minority groups in our scientific programs.

Deadlines

Requests for support or office space may be submitted at any time by filling out the application form found on the program website. The organizing committee will start to review requests in late February of 2011.
