    • National Events:
    The study of algorithms is at the very heart of computer science. In the last five decades, a number of significant advances have been made in the field of algorithms ranging from the development of faster algorithms to the startling discovery of some natural problems for which all known algorithms are found to be inefficient. These results triggered considerable interest in the study of algorithms, and the area of algorithm design and analysis has evolved into a field of interest.

    Teaching and research in this foundational aspect of computing is therefore a natural and desirable thrust area. Hence, algorithmic studies form a major component of computer science and discrete mathematics programs in colleges and universities. In the last four decades, graph and geometric problems have been studied by researchers of computer science and discrete mathematics using the framework of analysis of algorithms.

    A series of workshops of introductory lectures on graph and geometric algorithms is being organized for teachers and students (undergraduate, post-graduate and doctoral) at engineering colleges and universities at different locations in India. These introductory workshops provide opportunities to participants for getting exposed to the field of graph and geometric algorithms, which may help them in future in solving graph and geometric problems and designing new algorithms. With this objective, graph and geometric theory and algorithms for some problems with applications are presented in the workshop by a distinguished panel of speakers.
