at CTGU (China Three Gorges University) in Yichang, Hubei, China.

Time: Oct 14-21, 2018. Oct 14 is the arriving day. The workshop will be closed around noon time on Oct 21. (No lecture on Oct 17.)

Yan Zhu (Shanghai University), Xuemei Ding (Secretary of the Workshop, TGMRC).  

This will be a very informal workshop of relatively small size, expected to be about 30 participants. We will discuss various "designs" from various viewpoints in connection with many branches of mathematics and sciences. We will emphasize the discussion on open problems, as well as surveys of researches in this direction.  Everyone interested is welcome to participate.

There will be longer talks and some shorter talks. A tentative program will be fixed soon (by early October). Since this is an informal and flexible workshop, the final program will be given just before the start of the workshop. The below is the current list of confirmed speakers and participants. (The home page of the workshop will be prepared soon, and the link will be provided soon.)
