The ALCOM-FT project is a joint effort between ten of the leading groups in algorithms research in Europe. The aim of the project is to discover new algorithmic concepts, identify key algorithmic problems in important applications, and contribute to the accelerated transfer of advanced algorithmic techniques into commercial systems.
The first annual ALCOM-FT review meeting and workshop will be held in Rome on September 13-15, 2001.
The Meeting is located in the Cloister Hall of the School of Engineering of the University of Rome "La Sapienza":
Università di Roma "La Sapienza" (University of Rome "La Sapienza")
Facoltà di Ingegneria (School of Engineering)
Aula del Chiostro (Cloister Hall)
