Approx 2008 + Random 2008


11th Intl. Workshop on Approximation Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems - APPROX 2008
12th Intl. Workshop on Randomization and Computation - RANDOM 2008
25-27 August 2008, MIT
Boston, USA

The 11th. International Workshop on Approximation Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems (APPROX'2008), and the 12th. International Workshop on Randomized Techniques in Computation (RANDOM'2008) will be held at the Kiva-Patil seminar room, Building 32 (Ray and Maria Stata Center) - MIT, on August 25-27, 2008.

APPROX'2008 focuses on algorithmic and complexity theoretic issues relevant to the development of efficient approximate solutions to computationally difficult problems, while RANDOM'2008 focuses on applications of randomness to computational and combinatorial problems. RANDOM'2008 is the twelfth workshop in the series; APPROX'2008 is the eleventh in the series.
