The 4th AlgoUK Workshop

17-18 September, 2019

University of Warwick

About

 

AlgoUK is a series of UK-wide workshops, combining a UK Theory Day with an additional one-day workshop focusing on applications and applied areas relevant to Algorithms and Complexity. 

 

The 4th AlgoUK workshop will take place on 17-18 September 2019 at the University of Warwick.

 

The first day will feature talks covering a broad selection of contemporary topics in Algorithms and Complexity.

The second day will be dedicated to Cryptography and Coding Theory; featuring speakers from both industry and academia. See schedule and speaker details below.

 

Directions

 

The talks will take place in Lecture Hall MS.02 of the Warwick Mathematics Institute (which is right next to Warwick's Department of Computer Science). For directions to the event, see the map of campus and directions

 

Accommodation

A list of recommended hotels, both on-campus and in the nearby towns, can be found here. Availability may be limited, and so we recommend booking rooms ASAP.

 

Travel funds

AlgoUK can provide accommodation and travel funds for attendees (both staff and PhD students) at the meeting. However, funding is limited and will be on a first-come-first-served basis. We ask that attendees only request funding if they do not have an alternative means of funding available. Should anyone wish to request funding for attendance then can they please register this request by sending an e-mail to Professor Iain Stewart (i.a.stewart@durham.ac.uk) who will note and affirm the request (funds permitting).

 

Registration

Participating in the event is free of charge, but please register here, so that we can make the proper arrangements.
