This workshop follows the format of the first and second Prairie Discrete
Mathematics Workshops (PDMW) held at the University of Regina in 2003
and The University of Lethbridge in 2004. The
idea for these workshops was first suggested by Brian Alspach and was based on
the idea of the Combinatorial Potlatches that involved Universities in British
Columbia and Washington.
