12th Intl. Workshop on Approximation Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems - APPROX 2009
13th Intl. Workshop on Randomization and Computation - RANDOM 2009
21-23 August 2009, HP Auditorium
UC Berkeley, USA

The 12th. International Workshop on Approximation Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems (APPROX'2009), and the 13th. International Workshop on Randomized Techniques in Computation (RANDOM'2009) will be held at the HP Auditorium/306 Soda Hall, UC Berkeley, on August 21-23, 2009.

APPROX'2009 focuses on algorithmic and complexity theoretic issues relevant to the development of efficient approximate solutions to computationally difficult problems, while RANDOM'2009 focuses on applications of randomness to computational and combinatorial problems. RANDOM'2009 is the thirteenth workshop in the series; APPROX'2009 is the twelvth in the series.
