Oberwolfach Meeting on Complexity Theory (history)
The Oberwolfach Mathematical Institute
host every year about 50 weekly meetings on various topics in
mathematics. These meetings are organized on a voluntary basis
by groups of researchers, pending on the approval of their proposal
by the board of the Institute.
The Meeting on Complexity Theory was initiated
by Claus Schnorr and Arnold Schonhage,
and took place for the first time in November 1972.
Usually (but not always), the meeting took place every second year,
in the middle of the Fall.
