About the workshop

Previous CologneTwente Workshops (CTW) were traditionally held every two years in either Cologne or Twente. Increasing interest in these workshops has suggested to expand both the organizational base and the frequency. To mark this new format we are happy to announce that the next workshop

CTW 2004

will

Topics are: graph theory and discrete algorithms (both deterministic and random) and their applications in operations research and computer science. Following the tradition of previous workshops, the accepted presentations for the workshop will be made available in the Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics (ENDM). Furthermore, a special fully refereed issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics will be devoted to the workshop proceedings.

Scientific Program

Plenary speakers:
There will be three parallel sessions in the rest of the scientific program. A piano concert has been organized at 21:00 on 1st june 2004 (pianist Massimo Bianchi, music by Chopin and Liszt).

Organizing your trip

Although the precise programme has not been compiled yet, we expect proceedings to start at 10:30AM on 31st May 2004 and end by mid-day on 2nd June 2004. Participants should make their own travelling and accommodation arrangements by directly contacting Villa Vigoni. Milan Malpensa airport is the nearest to Como and Villa Vigoni. Milan Linate is further away, and Milan Bergamo still further out. Please ask Villa Vigoni for directions on how to reach them from the airport, and ask if they can provide a minibus transportation service. Villa Vigoni have around 35 rooms and a little more than 50 places. If it fills up, they should be able to recommend other hotels nearby. Book early. Please try to share a room if you can. Here is a list of participants up to now.

Submission of Abstracts

Prospective speakers are asked to submit an Extended Abstract of their presentation, which will be refereed by the scientific committee. Please submit your Extended Abstract (min. 3, max. 5 A4 pages) before
