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…

The Canadian Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (CUMC) is a national conference organized each summer by undergraduate students for undergraduate students at different institutions across Canada. The CUMC is an opportunity for students to explore mathematics outside their usual surroundings and spark their interest in areas they have not yet been exposed to. Indeed, the core of the gathering consists of a series of talks given by participants. The conference therefore provides a unique chance for students to present what they find…

This is a proposal for a workshop on symmetry, invariants, and their applications in celebration of Peter Olver's 70th birthday. Transformation and groups are an omnipresent concept in nature, science, and art. Many biological, chemical, physical, or man-made structures exhibit symmetries as a fundamental design principle or as an essential aspect of their functioning. Symmetry groups also occur in a wide variety of modern applications including computer vision, archaeology, numerical integration, and neural networks, differential equations, geometry, and applied mathematics.…
