Its goal is to highlight the most salient trends in the field. The conference will bring together researchers from the various disciplines with which discrete and algorithmic mathematics interact. The CanaDAM conference is held in odd numbered years using a format similar to the SIAM conference on Discrete Mathematics. Particular areas of interest include graphs and digraphs, hypergraphs, matroids, ordered sets, designs, coding theory, enumeration, combinatorics of words, discrete optimization, discrete and computational geometry, lattice point enumeration, combinatorial algorithms, computational complexity, and applications of discrete and algorithmic mathematics, including (but not limited to) web graphs, computational biology, communication networks and information processing.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222;background:white;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Invited Speakers:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222;background:white;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><br>Tanya Berger-Wolf (U.
