[DMANET] Fall School, 02-20 September 2013, TU Graz -- Call for participation

======================================================
Fall School, 02-20 September 2013, TU Graz -- Call for participation
======================================================

We invite you to participate in

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fall School "Phase Transition in Random Discrete Structures"
02-20 September 2013
Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), Austria

http://www.math.tugraz.at/mathb/seminar/2013FallSchool-TUGraz.pdf
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY:

The phase transition is a phenomenon observed in mathematics and natural
sciences in many different contexts. It deals with a sudden change in
the properties of a large structure caused by altering a critical
parameter. The phase transition in random discrete structures (e.g.
random graphs, random graph processes, random satisfiability problems,
Ising/Potts model, percolation) has captured the attention of many
scientists in recent years.

The goal of the fall school is to provide advanced master students, PhD
students, and early stage postdocs, who are interested in random
discrete structures and related fields, the opportunities

- to learn the state of the art results in the study of the phase
transition in various random discrete structures;
- to understand modern proof techniques that have successfully been
applied to the study of phase transition and its critical behaviour;
- to meet fellow colleagues in their early research career, which
possibly results in their future collaboration.

On top of this scientific and educational achievement, young
participants can experience the research environment of TU Graz as a
candidate place for their future research, and establish contacts with
other participants for their future collaboration. The language of the
school is English.

The fall school is supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) within
the Doctoral Programme "Discrete Mathematics"at TU Graz and by the
European Science Foundation (ESF) within the Research Networking
Programme "Random Geometry of Large Interacting Systems and Statistical
Physics (RGLIS)"

LECTURERS:

The lectures of the fall school will be given by the two experts in the
study of phase transitions in random discrete structures:

-Amin Coja-Oghlan (University of Frankfurt)
- Konstantinos Panagiotou (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich)

AUDIENCE:

The course is addressed to advanced master students, PhD students, and
early stage postdocs, who are interested in random discrete structures
and related fields. The total number of participants is limited to 35.

There will be a limited amount of scholarships (of max. 500 Euro each)
available for PhD students or for advanced Master students in a field
related to the topics of the school.

APPLICATION:

Applications for participation only, with a short curriculum vitae and
scientific background, should be sent by 5 July 2013 to Sandra Wissler
<sandra.wissler@tugraz.at>

Applications for scholarship and participation, with curriculum vitae,
abstract of thesis, a research statement, and a letter of recommendation
(sent directly by a thesis advisor or a renowned mathematician in the
field), should be sent by 5 July 2013 to Sandra Wissler
<sandra.wissler@tugraz.at>

Applicants will be notified by 15 July 2013.

[DMANET] New Book

I am sending the message again, now in the plain text format.

New Book

Cell Formation in Industrial Engineering:
Theory, Algorithms and Experiments

Series: Springer Optimization and Its Applications, Vol. 79

Goldengorin Boris, Krushinsky Dmitry, Pardalos Panos M.

2013, XIV, 206 p. 50 illus., 37 illus. in color.

http://www.springer.com/mathematics/computational+science+%26+engineering/
book/978-1-4614-8001-3#


First book to address the cell formation theory and its applications from
the perspective of a development of optimal, flexible, and efficient models
and algorithms for cell formation in group technology.
Addresses new methodologies to solve cell formation problems
Can be used as supplementary text at the graduate and post-graduate levels
in all fields of computational engineering.

This book focuses on a development of optimal, flexible, and efficient models
and algorithms for cell formation in group technology. Its main aim is to provide
a reliable tool that can be used by managers and engineers to design manufacturing
cells based on their own preferences and constraints imposed by a particular
manufacturing system. This tool could potentially lower production costs by
minimizing other costs in a number of areas, thereby increasing profit in a
manufacturing system.

In the volume, the cell formation problem is considered in a systematic and formalized
way, and several models are proposed, both heuristic and exact. The models are based
on general clustering problems, and are flexible enough to allow for various objectives
and constraints. The authors also provide results of numerical experiments involving
both artificial data from academic papers in the field and real manufacturing data to
certify the appropriateness of the models proposed.

The book was intended to suit the broadest possible audience, and thus all algorithmic
details are given in a detailed description with multiple numerical examples and informal
explanations are provided for the theoretical results. In addition to managers and
industrial engineers, this book is intended for academic researchers and students.
It will also be attractive to many theoreticians, since it addresses many open problems
in computer science and bioinformatics.

[DMANET] ResEff 2013 in Goettingen, Germany - Second Call for Papers

********************************
International Conference on Resource Efficiency in Interorganizational
Networks 2013 (ResEff)
13-14 November 2013, Goettingen, Germany
Second Call for Papers
********************************

On 13th and 14th November 2013, the Georg-August-Universität
Goettingen (Germany) will host the first International Conference on
Resource Efficiency in Interorganizational Networks (ResEff) and the
deadline for abstracts is drawing near!

======================
Confirmed Invited Speakers

Prof. Martin Faulstich
CUTEC Institute of Environmental Technology
Chair of the German Advisory Council on the Environment

Prof. Barry Goodell
Sustainable Biomaterials
Virgina Polytechnic Institute and State University

Prof. Adisa Azapagic

======================

Renewable raw materials are becoming increasingly important as an
alternative resource base in industrial networks. Consequently,
research for methods improving the efficient use of renewable
resources in production processes with by-products is crucial. The aim
is cascade utilization, thus the multiple utilization of a raw
material before its conversion into energy.

The ResEff brings together interdisciplinary researchers developing
strategies and solution concepts for efficient resource utilization.
It is therefore a forum for scientific exchange both between experts
as well as interdisciplinary groups.

The conference will include parallel sessions for presentation of
papers in the fields of agricultural and forestry science,
mathematical optimization, operations research, marketing, business
informatics, production and logistics. Each track contains different
sessions for expert talks. The interdisciplinary exchange is fostered
through special talks and meetings, where all groups come together.

======================
The session "Mathematical Optimization in the Presence of
Uncertainties" might be of special interest to you. A short
description can be found below:
======================
Decisions in the context of renewable resources, i.e. in forestry and
agriculture, often have to be made without the knowledge of all
relevant data. In order to model and hedge against these uncertainties
in mathematical optimization problems, the fields of stochastic,

[DMANET] Final CfP: IEEE SenseApp 2013 (Sydney, Australia)

My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

------------------------------
EXTENDED DEADLINE: 27 May 2013

SENSEAPP 2013

EIGHTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES
IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS
(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2013)

Novotel Central Sydney
Sydney, Australia
21 October 2013

http://www.senseapp.org
https://twitter.com/IEEESenseApp

CALL FOR PAPERS

Sensor nodes are autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce, yet prototypic implementations are getting more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for extending dedicated sensor networks. Experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks.

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It acts as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications
- Innovative sensor network applications
- Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments
- Middleware support for sensor networks
- Programming and debugging sensor networks
- Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks
- Experiences with new sensor hardware

[DMANET] GRAPHITE 2013: Call for (Short) Papers - Post-proceedings EPTCS

GRAPHITE 2013
Second Workshop on GRAPH Inspection and Traversal Engineering
(affiliated with ETAPS 2013)
http://www.win.tue.nl/~awijs/graphite


Call for (Short) Papers - Post-proceedings EPTCS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Objectives
----------

The topic of the GRAPHITE workshop is graph analysis in all its forms in computer science.
Graphs are used to represent data in many application areas, and they are subjected to
various computational algorithms in order to acquire the desired information. These graph
algorithms tend to have common characteristics, such as duplicate detection to guarantee
their termination, independent of their application domain. Over the past few years, it has
been shown that the scalability of such algorithms can be dramatically improved by using,
e.g., external memory, by exploiting parallel architectures, such as clusters, multi-core
CPUs, and graphics processing units, and by using heuristics to guide the search. Novel
techniques to further scale graph search algorithms, and new applications of graph search
are within the scope of this workshop. Another topic of interest of the event is more
related to the structural properties of graphs: which kind of graph characteristics are
relevant for a particular application area, and how can these be measured? Finally, any
novel way of using graphs for a particular application area is on topic. The goal of this
event is to gather scientists from different communities, such as model checking, artificial
intelligence planning, game playing, and algorithm engineering, who do research on graph
search algorithms, such that awareness of each others' work is increased.

The workshop has been held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2013, the
16th edition of The European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice
of Software (ETAPS). ETAPS is a primary European forum for academic
and industrial researchers working on topics relating to Software Science.

The current call is for submissions for the post-proceedings, to be published in the second
half of 2013. As such, authors of accepted papers will not be invited to present their work,
but their papers will be included in the proceedings.

Workshop Specific Topics
-----------------------------------

We encourage submission of works which include but are not limited to the following topics:

* Algorithms for the verification of hardware and software based on graph exploration
(e.g. the computation of an explicit state space based on an implicit description)

* Application of graph based techniques originating in one application domain, applied on
a problem in another domain (e.g. verification algorithms on artificial intelligence problems)

* Techniques to deal with potentially infinite graphs and infinite families of graphs

* Innovative or otherwise particularly significant case studies of applications of graph based
methods

* Theoretical results on the limits and possibilities of graph based methods

* Parallel algorithms for graph exploration for distributed and shared memory systems (e.g.
clusters, multi-core CPUs, GPGPUs)

* Graph algorithms in artificial intelligence; planning; game playing; social network analysis;
biological network analysis, and similar

* Graph minimisation and abstraction techniques as a preprocessing step for analysis (e.g.
bisimulation reduction, transitive reduction)

* Computation on graphs through graph transformation techniques

* I/O Efficient graph algorithms using external memory


Papers on applications and papers bridging multiple application domains are strongly
encouraged. In addition, this call also encourages the submission of short papers, either
presenting a new tool or new scientific results that can be described succinctly.


Solicited Contributions
-------------------------------

The submitted papers should contain original work which has not been
submitted or accepted for publication elsewhere. Submissions should
adhere to the EPTCS format. All accepted papers will be included in
the workshop proceedings.

We solicit two kinds of papers:

*Tool Papers or Short Technical Papers no longer than 7 pages. Tool papers should describe
the contribution of a new tool, how it works, and how it is implemented. Experimental results
are encouraged. Short technical papers are intended to succinctly present new scientific results
related to the GRAPHITE topics.

*Full Technical Papers no longer than 15 pages.


Submission and Publication
--------------------------------------

Submission can be done via the Easy Chair web-based conference management
system. (Follow the link from the workshop web page.) All papers will be
peer reviewed.

The proceedings will appear in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
(EPTCS) as post-proceedings.
