Topics: modeling, optimization, analysis, and operation of very large networks and distributed systems, as well as the moving, analysis, processing and compression of large data generated by these networks.

Let V be an n-dimensional vector space over a finite field. Assign a real-valued weight to each 1-dimensional subspace in V so that the sum of all weights is zero. Define the weight of a subspace S  V to be the sum of the weights of all the 1...

A conference bringing together number theorists located in western Canada and the northwestern United States.

The UBC Department of Statistics and the SFU Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science jointly host two seminars per year, one in the fall organized by the students from SFU and one in the spring organized by the students from UBC. These...

Current RNA bioinformatics strongly relies on discrete abstractions and decomposition schemes for the conformation of nucleic acids. This workshop will bring together scientists from bioinformatics, mathematics and computer science in an attempt to...

Operations research utilizes a variety of mathematical modeling techniques to improve workflows, procedures and operations within organizations or programs, and to guide planning and management decisions. Among countless applications, network models...

We recently published a method for analyzing large scale genetic data from multiple individuals in multiple species or populations. The method can be used to infer evolutionary relationships between species, populations sizes and divergence times...

The SFU-UBC Joint Graduate Student Workshop in Statistics is going into its 10th year. This is the first of two seminars to take place this school year, the one in Fall is organized by graduate students from SFU and the one in Spring is organized by...

An intensive program for Canadian and international students. The core of the program is a course which provides an elementary introduction to rigorous computing and its applications. There will be exploration sessions for students to investigate...
