Description
   This conference project aims at connecting quite distant areas of mathematics and computer science via common or similar distance and discrete models. The objective is to bring together researchers interested in the study of combinatorial, algorithmic, geometric, and topological structure of graphs occurring in metric graph theory and related fields such as geometric group theory, concurrency theory, or combinatorial optimization. Sharing knowledge arising from these different fields will be very useful to solve questions in computer science, discrete mathematics, and combinatorial optimization. We would also like to stimulate the conception of efficient algorithms for distance problems related to data analysis, network analysis, distributed computing, and seriation.
   The conference will also be an opportunity to celebrate Victor Chepoi’s contributions
to the field of metric graph theory.
   Cette conférence vise à regrouper des chercheurs issus de plusieurs domaines des mathématiques et de l’informatique qui travaillent sur des modèles discrets ou basés sur la notion de distance. L’objectif est de regrouper des chercheurs interessés par les structures combinatoires, algorithmiques, métriques et topologiques qui apparaissent en théorie métrique des graphes et dans des domaines connexes tels que la théorie géométrique des groupes, la théorie de la concurrence ou l’optimisation combinatoire. Mettre en commun les connaissances issues de ces différents domaines devrait s’avérer fructueux pour résoudre des questions d’informatique, de mathématiques discrètes et d’optimisation com-binatoire. Nous souhaitons  également contribuer à la conception d’algorithmes efficaces pour des problèmes de distance apparaissant en analyse de données, en analyse de réseaux,en algorithmique distribuée et en sériation.
  
Cette conférence sera également l’occasion de célébrer les contributions de Victor Chepoi dans le domaine de la théorie métrique des graphes.
