This is the kickoff workshop for the
INRIA project with the acronym and title above.
This event takes place
in the UC Berkeley Mathematics Department in 891 Evans Hall.
The organizer is
Bernd Sturmfels.
Agenda
Our discussions will focus on
computations in real algebraic geometry and their applications.
There are three main lectures of one hour in length,
and slots for contributed half-hour talks.
If you are interested in giving a talk
please send an email
with your title. First come first serve.
We start by getting together for dinner on Sunday evening (May 17).
