ALEA Days, 2022
The annual meeting Aléa is dedicated to the study of random discrete structures arising in various scientific domains, mainly in theoretical computer science, combinatorics and probability theory, but also in statistical physics, bioinformatics or in other branches of mathematics. These structures are, for example, trees, words, permutations, lattice walks, more geometrical objects like planar maps, or other objects related to discrete dynamics like cellular automata. Aims and methods are diverse, ranging from enumeration, asymptotic properties and analytic combinatorics, probability, random generation… The Aléa meeting is closely related to the community of the Working Group Aléa of the “Groupement de recherche CNRS” gdr-im, which was created in the 90’s under the impulse of Philippe Flajolet to promote interactions between combinatorics and probability around the analysis of algorithms. In the last ten years it has been the birth place to many fruitful interdisciplinary collaborations (e.g. on planar maps, walks in quarter plane, algebraic urns…) and it has grown into one of the most active interface between computer scientists and mathematicians in France. The program of the conference aims both at broadening the common knowledge of the participants via mini-courses and invited long talks, and at reflecting the variety and dynamism of the community via short talks that are selected through an open call.
