      NEW DIRECTIONS IN ALGORITHMS, COMBINATORICS AND OPTIMIZATION

                        Second announcement

The conference will be held May 5-9, 2008 on the campus of the Georgia
Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA and  will honor the 65th birthday
of William T. Trotter. The details can be found at
        http://www.aco.gatech.edu/conference/

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Prospective participants are strongly encouraged to book
hotel rooms as soon as possible, preferably before March 19, and no later
than April 4. We expect a severe shortage of hotel rooms due to two large
conventions taking place at the same time.

The conference program will consist of invited lectures, a poster session
open to all interested parties, and a problem session. Some funding
to support attendance by U.S. Citizens, Permanent Residents and U.S.-based
faculty members is available; please see the web page for details.
Students, junior researchers, women, persons with disabilities and members
of under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply.
