The International Conference on Permutation Patterns is an annual academic conference on permutation patterns and related topics in combinatorics and theoretical computer science. Founded in 2003 by Michael H. Albert and Michael D. Atkinson, the conference rotates among host institutions in North America, Europe, and Australasia.
Significance
[edit | edit source]The Permutation Patterns conference has been central to the development of permutation patterns as a research area. As Bassino, Bouvel, and Rossin wrote in the Journal of Combinatorics, the conference "has played a central role in the development of the field."[1] The field of permutation patterns has been described as a "burgeoning area of research" in the Notices of the American Mathematical Society.[2]
The 2007 meeting at the University of St Andrews resulted in the publication of a volume in the London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series by Cambridge University Press.[3] The book presents survey and research articles covering the field's development and was reviewed as addressing "all of the significant strands of current research" in the area.
The United States National Science Foundation has provided sustained funding support for the conference series, including awards for the 2019–2021 meetings and the 2023–2024 meetings, recognizing the conference's role in fostering collaboration between researchers at all career stages.[4][5] The NSF documentation notes the conference "attracts broad participation, including significant numbers of women and of faculty from primarily undergraduate institutions."
History
[edit | edit source]The first conference was held at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand in February 2003, with 23 participants.[6] Since then, the conference has been held annually at various institutions across North America, Europe, and Australasia.
The conference adapted to a virtual format during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, before returning to in-person meetings in 2022 at Valparaiso University.[7] The Valparaiso coverage noted that sixty experts from eight countries participated in the meeting.
The conference typically features two plenary talks by leading researchers, along with approximately 35 contributed talks and poster sessions. Recent meetings have included workshops and activities specifically designed for early-career researchers.[8]
Publications
[edit | edit source]Meetings of the conference have been accompanied by special issues in peer-reviewed journals including Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, Advances in Applied Mathematics, Annals of Combinatorics, Enumerative Combinatorics and Applications, and Pure Mathematics and Applications. These special issues provide extensive documentation of research presented at the symposia.
The field's development has been further documented in textbooks and handbooks, including Sergey Kitaev's Patterns in Permutations and Words (Springer, 2011) and Vincent Vatter's chapter "Permutation Classes" in the Handbook of Enumerative Combinatorics (CRC Press, 2015).
