The focus of this school will be the approximability of optimization problems. Traditionally, approximability used to be a two-pronged task divided into algorithms and complexity but recently, a lot of cross-fertilization is taking place and the boundaries between algorithms and complexity are blurring. One of the goals of this school would be to further bring down this divide and promote a holistic thinking about approximability, which should lead to exciting new developments in the area.
The school will bring together key contributors in this area to discuss these modern methods to a large research audience. In addition, the school will also have talks and open sessions for sharing new research and directions in approximability.
