[DMANET] ICGT 2014 - Grenoble, France, June 30 - July 4, 2014

The 9th International Colloquium on Graph Theory and Combinatorics will
take place in Grenoble, France, from June 30 to July 4, 2014.
Registration is now open. Web page: http://oc.inpg.fr/conf/icgt2014/

The following speakers have agreed to give a plenary talk:

Noga Alon (Tel-Aviv University)
Jeff Erickson (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
Bertrand Guenin (University of Waterloo)
Dániel Marx (MTA SZTAKI, Hungarian Academy of Sciences)
Bojan Mohar (Simon Fraser University and University of Ljubljana)
János Pach (EPFL Lausanne and Rényi Institute Budapest)
R. Ravi (Carnegie Mellon)
Bruce Reed (McGill University)
Paul Seymour (Princeton University)

Participants who wish to give a talk are invited to submit an extended
abstract of at most four pages, which will be reviewed by the scientific
committee. The submission deadline is March 31, 2014.

This conference is the 9th edition of an event initiated by Claude
Berge in 1976, and organized by the French community in Graph Theory
every 4 or 5 years since then. Previous meetings took place in Marseille
Luminy, and the most recent editions were held in Hyères in 2005 and
Orsay in 2010.

The purpose of this conference is to highlight major theoretical
advances in the field of Combinatorics and Graph Theory, the development
of new tools, and the most significant new applications of the field to
problems arising in industry and business. It is open to a broad range
of topics dealing with mathematical structures and any topic
establishing direct links between combinatorics and other branches of
mathematics. The conference is also open to theories of discrete
algorithmic computing in the area of combinatorics with strong natural
mathematical flavour.

Talks are solicited in areas including, but not limited to:

* All aspects of Graph Theory,
* Combinatorics (Algebraic, Analytic, Enumerative, Extremal),
* Combinatorial Geometry / Number Theory,
* Algorithms,
* Combinatorial Optimization,
* Designs and Configurations,
* Matroid Theory.

Special Issue

There will be a special issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics (DAM)
devoted to full-version papers presented at the conference. The
deadline for this issue will be in the Fall of 2014.
