Mathematical Theory and Applications to Physics, Biology and the Social Sciences– a Conference in Honour of the 60th Birthday of Michael J. Ward Localized spatial-temporal patterns commonly occur for various classes of linear and nonlinear diffusive processes. In particular, they occur in reaction-diffusion (RD) systems modeling quorumsensing (QS) behavior in biological systems, the initiation of root-hair tip formation in plant cells, and the spatial distribution of urban crime. Localization behavior also occurs in the biophysical context of calculating first passage…

Connecting Women in Mathematics Across Canada (CWiMAC) workshop will be held online on Wednesday, June 2 and Thursday, June 3, 2021, preceding the 75th+1 Anniversary Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society. workshops are organized in coordination with the CMS Womenin Mathematics Committee. The purpose of the workshop is to support the career development of junior female-identified academics in the Canadian mathematics community. The 2021 CWiMAC workshop will include invited presentations, panels, and networking events aimed at advancing the careers of junior participants.…

This conference is in celebration of Professor Aiden Bruen's 80th birthday, to acknowledge and honour his contributions to finite geometry, design theory, coding theory, and combinatorics in general.  Professor Bruen has had a tremendous impact in these areas, publishing dozens of highly cited articles. including but certainly not limited to Inventiones Mathematicae, Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, Journal of Combinatorial Designs, and Designs, Codes and Cryptography. Professor Bruen is also an author of Cryptography, Information Theory, and Error Correction:…

This event consists of two co-located conferences over a four-day period. These two conferences are the 17th Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium (WADS) and the 33rd Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG). WADS is intended as a forum for researchers in the area of design and analysis of algorithms and data structures. We invite submissions of papers presenting original research on the theory and application of algorithms and data structures in all areas, including combinatorics, computational geometry, databases, graphics, and…

The Data Challenge will bring together three competitive events, the Open Data Visualization (6th annual), Data Analytics (2nd Edition), and Data Sprint (2nd Edition) on November 19, 2021 in a hybrid format - virtually & in-person! Take up the challenge and demonstrate the power of data, with the flexibility to take part remotely. Our previous edition saw 85 data-driven enthusiasts compete from across Canada in 30 teams. The event also saw 35 business experts, mentors, speakers & partners from diverse industries.…

Combinatorial algebra and algebraic combinatorics are two highly active areas of research. Their importance is felt throughout theoretical and applied mathematics, including algebraic geometry, representation theory, commutative algebra, and mathematical physics; they have found numerous practical applications in diverse fields. The connections between these overlapping subjects are central to the CAAC workshops' traditional thematic goals. They were emphasized in a series of expository lectures which were given by Tony Geramita and Fran\c{c}ois Bergeron in January 2004 at Queen's University. Through…

This conference will celebrate Doug Stinson’s 66th birthday and highlight his contributions to the fields of designs, codes, cryptography, and their connections. The goal is to explore recent developments, open problems and conjectures in combinatorial design theory along with applications to related areas including codes, cryptography, networks, and algorithms. We intend to bring together leading researchers from around the world, along with graduate students, postdocs and other early-career researchers. The conference will consist of invited talks only and will provide…
