Approx 2013 + Random 2013

UC Berkeley, USA
Aug.21-Aug.23 2013


The 16th. International Workshop on Approximation Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems (APPROX'2013), and the 17th. International Workshop on Randomization and Computation (RANDOM'2013) will be held Aug.21-Aug.23 in UC Berkeley.

APPROX'2013 focuses on algorithmic and complexity theoretic issues relevant to the development of efficient approximate solutions to computationally difficult problems, while RANDOM'2013 focuses on applications of randomness to computational and combinatorial problems. RANDOM'2013 is the seventeenth workshop in the series; APPROX'2013 is the sixteenth in the series.
