International Conference on Commutative Algebra and Combinatorics
Allahabad, India: December 8-13, 2003.

The workshop/conference is on topics in Commutative Algebra and Combinatorics and it is being designed to maximize the effectiveness of its tutorial component. The program is divided into three main parts.

Explository Lectures in the pre-lunch session:
In these sessions there will be explository lectures in some currently active areas of Computational and Combinatorial Commutative Algebra.

Some of the topics to be discussed are
Primary decompositions
Regularity
Local cohomology and reduction numbers
Toric Hilbert schemes,
Milnor Numbers
Linear Diophantine equations and the Anand-Dumir-Gupta conjecture
Old topics and current trends in face rings of simplicial complexes
Applications of the Knuth-Robinson-Schoensted correspondence.
