Subject: ALCOMA15 - First Announcement

Dear colleagues,

this is the first official announcement of **Algebraic combinatorics and 
applications (ALCOMA15)**,
a conference on designs, codes and related topics.

This conference is dedicated to the memory of our friend and colleague 
*Axel Kohnert*.

It will take place in Kloster Banz close to Bamberg, Germany, from March 
15 to March 20, 2015.

ALCOMA15 is a meeting of COST Action IC1104

The intention is to bring together representatives of research groups that
work in particular in the field of constructive theory of designs and 
codes, or on closely related topics.
A special focus is on q-analogues of designs and random network coding.

There will be invited talks (so far) by:

* Michael Braun (Darmstadt)
* Eimear Byrne (Dublin)
