The conference will be devoted to a variety of topics in Geometric and Combinatorial Group Theory as well as to algorithmic and computational topics involving groups, with applications to cryptography.

More specifically, this includes combinatorial, asymptotic and probablistic methods in group theory and algebraic cryptography, group actions, hyperbolicity, quasi-isometries, isoperimetric functions, growth, asymptothic invariants, random walks, algorithmic problems related to groups...

To emphasise the 'Applications' of geometric and combinatorial group theory, and highlighting the very recent development regarding 'group based cryptography', we will devote one day of the workshop to this subject: August 29th will be the 'Cryptography day'.

This conference is a sequel to the conference on "Geometric and Asymptotic Group Theory with Applications" that took place in Manresa (Barcelona) in 2006, see http://www.epsem.upc.edu/~gagta/main_en.shtml
