Forty-Fifth Southeastern International Conference on
Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Computing

March 3-7, 2014

Special sessions on "Structured Families of Graphs: Mathematical and Algorithmic Aspects"

celebrating the 65th birthday of  Robert Jamison

at the 45th Southeastern Conference of Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Computing

(Boca Raton, March 3-7, 2014)

There will be a track of special sessions on "Structured Families of Graphs: Mathematical and Algorithmic Aspects" at the 45th Southeastern Conference of Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Computing (Boca Raton, March 3-7, 2014).  We will also take this opportunity to celebrate the 65th birthday of Robert Jamison at our sessions.

       
Invited 35 minute talks will be given by


Derek Corneil

   LexDFS, Cocomparability Graphs and Posets

Martin Golumbic

   “Tolerance intersection graphs of degree bounded subtrees of a tree”

Pavol Hell

   Structured Families in Digraphs

Robert Jamison

   “Decomposition Graphs”

Ortrud Oellerman

   “Convexity and Graph Classes”

Jerry Spinrad

      to be announced

Ann Trenk

   “Unit Mixed Interval Graphs”

Tom Trotter

      to be announced

 


AND there is an open call (below) for a larger number of 15 minute contributed talks, to be submitted in the usual Boca Conference tradition, spanning areas related to Robert's research and the theme of the special track.

        We're also happy to report that Maria Chudnovsky and Noga Alon have accepted

Fred Hoffman's invitation to be plenary speakers on Wednesday of the general conference.

       We hope that this year will be an opportunity for many of us to get together for research discussions and joint work, and to honor Robert.

        Best wishes,   Derek Corneil and Marty Golumbic
