Meeting on Optimization Problems in Computational Topology

École normale supérieure (Paris), November 21-25, 2005

This is a meeting of the project Optimization Problems in Computational Topology, funded by CNRS, INRIA, and UIUC (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) for two years (2005-2006).

Presentation

The goal of this meeting is to foster collaborative research between the participants of the project by bringing together researchers and students for one week of informal workshop. The main suggested topic of interest is Computational Topology, but this is completely open to Computational Geometry in general.
The meeting includes a 1-hour talk by Jeff Erickson on Computing Optimal Graphs on Surfaces.
