and
Fréjus, France (2009).
AofA 2006 was the 12th annual meeting on the
Analysis of Algorithms.
Previous meetings
were held in Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany (1993, 1995, 1997),
Princeton, USA (1998),
Barcelona, Spain (1999),
Krynica Morska, Poland (2000),
Tatihou, France (2001),
Strobl, Austria (2002),
San Miniato, Italy (2003),
Berkeley, USA (2004),
and
Barcelona, Spain (2005).
Its main purpose is to exchange ideas and foster collaboration
around the themes of
analytic, combinatorial and probabilistic methods,
randomized algorithms, and theoretical
aspects of trees, graphs, strings and other
mathematical structures.
