The workshop took place on 6 December 2010, and was a great success as evidenced by the smiling faces in the conference photo:

The programme featured the following talks

Leen Stougie (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) : A simple randomised algorithm for convex optimisation: Application to two-stage stochastic programming. [slides]

Dimitris Achlioptas (University of California at Santa Cruz and National and Kapodistrian University of Athens) : Algorithmic Barriers from Phase Transitions. [slides]

Juan Vera (Universiteit van Tilburg) : Positive polynomials on equality-constrained domains.

Willem Haemers (Universiteit van Tilburg) : Are almost all graphs determined by their spectrum? [slides]

Raphael Hauser (University of Oxford) : Probabilistic Complexity Analysis of Algorithms through Condition Numbers.

Roberto Fernández (Universiteit Utrecht) : The cluster expansion and the Lovász local lemma. [slides]
