This meeting is being organized by the combinatorics community of Brazil, around the Project "Complexity of Discrete Structures", and it is also part of the activities of the Mathematics Millennium Institute of IMPA (IM-AGIMB).
The workshop is to be held at Hotel Sol e Vida, Rua Domingos Della Mônica Barbosa, 93, Praia da Enseada, Ubatuba. One can find directions to Hotel Sol e Vida here.
