In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the department, and the 50th anniversary of the university, the Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo hosted a six day conference June 18-23, 2007. The theme focussed on the six main research areas represented by the department: algebraic combinatorics; combinatorial optimization; continuous optimization; cryptography; graph theory; and quantum computing. The goal of the conference was to encourage and stimulate both further research within these areas, and cross-discipline interaction. We were greatly honoured by the 54 invited speakers whose participation ensured that this was an outstanding event for established research scientists and graduate students alike.
