Preface
It is our pleasure to open the current volume, containing the proceedings of
FPSAC 2020. This conference was originally scheduled to take place at Bar-Ilan
University, Israel. Due to the current worldwide health crisis, it has been
transformed into an online format, to take place during July, 2020.
Many thanks to the authors of all their excellent work, informing us of
cutting-edge research in combinatorics, as well as connections to other areas of
mathematics, computer science, physics, and biology.
Special thanks to the devoted members of the Program Committee, and to the many
other experts who served as secondary reviewers, for the demanding effort of
evaluating all submissions. Their volunteer work was crucial to the success of
the conference.
We also thank Eli Bagno and Olya Mandelshtam, the guest editors of these
proceedings, for the great efforts invested into preparing for publication all
96 extended abstracts, under very demanding time constraints. Many thanks to
Christian Krattenthaler and the editorial team of SLC for kindly hosting these
proceedings.
Last but not least, the resourceful Organizing Committee of FPSAC 2020 Online
faced the enormous challenge of turning a planned physical event into a virtual
one, under unexpected circumstances. We are looking forward to the actual
conference, to enjoy the sweet fruits of all the hard work done. Thanks!
