The CIMPA school (International Center for Pure and Applied Mathematics) took place between 2016-07-11 - 2016-07-21.

The school "Combinatorics and Algorithmics" proposal aims to strengthen scientific interactions between researchers of the Ocean Indian Islands and their french and spanish colleagues. The school is intended to form PhD and Master students from the islands of Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion Island on the fields of the workshop. Another major goal is to establish and reinforce scientific exchanges, existing collaborations and to initiate new ones during the school.

The main themes lie in the study of Computer Science, Discrete Mathematics, Discrete Random Structures, Randomized Algorithms. The school's principal objective concentrates on how to elaborate algorithms and to quantify their complexities by means of combinatorial and probabilistic methods.
