6th Japanese-Hungarian Symposium on Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications May 15, 2009

As a part of the long history of cooperation among Japanese and Hungarian scientists in the field of discrete mathematics, the 1st Japanese-Hungarian Symposium on Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications took place in Kyoto between March 17-19, 1999. The participants decided to continue their existing cooperation on a more regular basis and have established a biennial series of conferences. The 2nd Symposium took place in Budapest, between April 20-23, 2001 and the 3rd one in Tokyo, between January 21-24, 2003, the 4th in Budapest between June 3-6, 2005 and the 5th in Sendai between April 3-5, 2007.

The 6th Symposium will jointly be organized by the Department of Operations Research, L. Eötvös University of Budapest, by the Department of Computer Science and Information Theory, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, and by the Combinatorics and Discrete Mathematics Research Division of the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. An Advisory Board, consisting of András Frank, Satoru Fujishige, Toshihide Ibaraki, Satoru Iwata, Kazuo Murota, Hiroshi Nagamochi, András Recski, Miklós Simonovits and Takeshi Tokuyama has been established.
