SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO MARIAN POUR-EL: Ning Zhong.

CiE serves as an interdisciplinary forum for research in all aspects of
computability and foundations of computer science, as well as the interplay
of these theoretical areas with practical issues in computer science and
with other disciplines such as biology, mathematics, philosophy, or physics.

Formal systems, attendant proofs, and the possibility of their computer
generation and manipulation (for instance, into programs) have been changing
a whole spectrum of disciplines. The conference will address not only the
more established lines of research of Computational Complexity and the
interplay between Proofs and Computation, but also novel views that rely on
physical and biological processes and models to find new ways of tackling
computations and improving their efficiency.

We particularly invite papers that build bridges between different parts of
the research community. Since women are underrepresented in mathematics and
computer science, we emphatically encourage submissions by female authors.
The Elsevier Foundation is supporting the CiE conference series in the
programme "Increasing representation of female researchers in the
computability community". This programme will allow us to fund child-care
support, a mentoring system for young female researchers, and also a small
number of grants for junior female researchers (see below).

The dates around the submission process are as follows:

[DMANET] Ph.D. Position in Algorithms/Computational Geometry at University of Lugano, Switzerland

Ph.D. Position in Algorithms, Comp. Geometry at University of Lugano,
Switzerland

At the Faculty of Informatics, University of Lugano, Switzerland,
http://www.inf.usi.ch/, there is an opening for a PhD student in
Computer Science in the area of Algorithms and Computational Geometry
under a project entitled: Generalized Voronoi diagrams of polygonal
objects: algorithms and applications. The project is funded by the
Swiss National Science Foundation for a time period of three years.

This project will investigate open problems on generalized Voronoi
diagrams of polygonal objects as motivated by concrete applications.
Voronoi diagrams are among the most fundamental structures in
Computational Geometry and they have proved to be powerful tools in
solving diverse and seemingly unrelated computational problems. Research
will combine combinatorial analysis, the design and analysis of
efficient algorithms, as well as implementation and application issues.
The problems under investigation have been motivated by applications in
VLSI Computer-Aided Design but they are fundamental structures of
independent interest.

Applicants should have a Masters degree in Computer Science (or
equivalent) and an affinity with algorithms, preferably geometric
algorithms. Some experience in implementation and experimentation is
expected. Candidates with a strong background in the design and analysis
of algorithms will be preferred. Fluency in English is required.

Friday June 11, 2010.

PAPER SUBMISSION

The conference is soliciting full papers (as well as workshop and
tutorial proposals; see below) on all aspects of electronic commerce.
Submitted papers will be evaluated on significance, originality,
technical quality, and exposition. They should clearly establish the
research contribution, its relevance to electronic commerce, and its
relation to prior research. Submissions to be considered for publication
in the archival ACM proceedings may be up to 10 pages (including the
bibliography), in 10-point font, double-column format, with reasonable
margins and interline spacing. Additional details may be included in
appendices beyond the 10 page limit but will only be read at the
discretion of the reviewers. These submissions must not have appeared
before (or be pending to appear) in a journal or conference with
published proceedings. All accepted submissions will need to be migrated
to the publisher's format/macros for the proceedings. Instructions will
be given by the publisher after the paper is accepted. Accepted papers
will be presented at the conference in one of two formats: (1) a long
oral presentation or (2) a short oral presentation. Presentation format
will be chosen by the program committee with the goal of encouraging
breadth and diversity among presentations. Presentation format will have
no bearing on how papers appear in the archival conference proceedings:
all accepted papers will be allotted 10 pages in the proceedings.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: To accommodate the publishing traditions of different
fields, authors may instead submit working papers that are under review
or nearly ready for journal review. These submissions will be subject to
review and considered for presentation at the conference but only a one
page abstract will appear in the proceedings with a URL that points to
the full paper and that will be reliable for at least two years. Open
access is preferred although the paper can be hosted by a publisher who
takes copyright and limits access, as long as there is a link to the
location. Electronic submission is required. Details on the submission
procedure will be made available on the main conference web page.

WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

The conference is soliciting proposals for tutorials and workshops to be
held in conjunction with the conference. Tutorial proposals should
contain the title of the tutorial, a two-page description of the topic
matter, the names and short biographies of the tutor(s), and
dates/venues where earlier versions of the tutorial were given (if any).
Workshop proposals should contain the title of the workshop, the names
and short biographies of the organizers, and the names of confirmed or
candidate participants. Workshop proposals should also include a
two-page description describing the theme, the reviewing process for
participants, the organization of the workshop, and required facilities
for the workshop. Informal suggestions for workshop or tutorial ideas
can also be sent without a full proposal to the workshop and tutorial
chairs at any time. Submission information can be found on the
conference website.

CALL FOR PAPERS

First IEEE International Workshop on Smart Grid Communications
(SmartGridComm 2010), in conjunction with IEEE ICC 2010
http://www.smartgridcomm.org/

Important Dates:
- The Submission Deadline has been EXTENDED to December 6, 2009
- Notification of Acceptance: January 20, 2010
- Camera Ready Due: February 20, 2010
- Workshop Date: May 27, 2010

Workshop Summary

Developing smart grid has become an urgent global priority, as its immense
economic, environmental and societal benefit will be enjoyed by generations
to come. Information and communication technologies (ICT) will empower
conventional power grid to support two-way energy and information flow,
which in turn can help the world reduce dependence on fossil fuel, enable
demand response and distributed energy resources, accelerate the adoption of
clean energy technology and ultimately achieve sustainable prosperity.

Communications for smart grid is not only a noble calling but also a tall
order. To meet the challenges, we have to resort to a variety of
paradigm-shifting technologies. In addition, various international
standardization bodies have recently established new initiatives for smart
grid (e.g., IEEE P2030). At this critical junction, the First International
Workshop on Smart Grid Communications can help bring together researchers
from academia, industry and government to exchange novel ideas, explore
enabling technologies, discuss innovative designs, and share trial
experiences.

The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to, the following
areas:

. Enabling ICT for smart home (e.g., wireless, PLCs, IPv6, etc.)
. Enabbling ICT for smart meters (e.g., cellular, PLCs, WiMAX, virtual
meters, etc.)
. p; Design paradigm for distributed control under communication constraints

. Ennabling ICT for demand response and distributed energy resources
. Privacy prottection and security for smart grid
. ICT for smart power grid (e.g., NASPInet , DNP3, BACNet , etc.)
. Virtual power plants
. Enabling ICT for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) system and network

. Reliable self-healing networking for smart grid
. ICT for wide-area situattional awareness (e.g., fault-detection and
localization, sensing, etc.)
. Routting for smart grid (e.g., IETF 6LoWPAN, ROLL, etc.)
. Middleware for smart griid
. Interoperability iissues within the Smart Grid
. Standardization (e.g., IEEE P2030, IEC, NEMA, etc.)
. Regulation
. Business model
. Application innovation Field trials

****************************************************************

Diagrams is an international and interdisciplinary conference series,
covering all aspects of research on the theory and application of diagrams.

Recent advances in technology have enabled the use of diagrams, sketches and
other visualizations to become an integral part of our lives. For effective
communication with these novel and sophisticated visual representations, we
need insight into how diagrams are used, how they are represented, which
types are available and when it is appropriate to use them. These concerns
have triggered a surge of interest in the study of diagrammatic notations
for communication, cognition, creative thought, computation and
problem-solving.

The study of diagrammatic notations and their use must be pursued as an
interdisciplinary endeavour. Diagrams is the only conference series that
provides a united forum for all areas that are concerned with the study of
diagrams: for example, architecture, artificial intelligence, cartography,
cognitive science, computer science, education, graphic design, history of
science, human-computer interaction, linguistics, logic, mathematics,
philosophy, psychology, and software modelling.

Diagrams 2010 is the sixth event in this conference series, which was
launched in Edinburgh in 2000. Diagrams attracts a large number of
researchers from virtually all related fields mentioned, placing the
conference as a major international event in the area.

Diagrams 2010 will be co-located with the 32nd Annual Meeting of the
Cognitive Science Society (Cogsci-2010). This co-location will provide a
lively and stimulating environment, enabling researchers from related
communities to exchange ideas and more widely disseminate research results.

Diagrams 2010 will consist of sessions including presentations of refereed
papers, posters, and also tutorial and workshop sessions. For the first time
in history of Diagrams we will organize workshops and postgraduate student
sessions. We invite submissions of:

- long research papers (15 pages)
- short research papers (7 pages)
- posters (3 pages)
- tutorial proposals (2 pages; see the conference web page for full details)
- workshop proposals (2 pages; see the conference web page for full details)
- graduate symposium submissions (3 pages; see the conference web page for

that focus on any aspect of diagrams research. Long papers should present
original research results. Short papers and posters should present original
research contributions, position or problem statements, summarize software
to support the use of diagrams, or integrate results published elsewhere
which are of interest to the Diagrams community.

All submissions will be fully peer reviewed. The proceedings, which will

[DMANET] CMCS 2010: First call for papers

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CMCS 2010 First call for papers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Tenth International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science
26-28 March 2010, Paphos, Cyprus
(co-located with ETAPS 2010)
http://event.cwi.nl/cmcs10/

Aims and scope
------------------

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers with a common
interest in the theory of coalgebras and its applications. Over the
last two decades, coalgebra has developed into a field of its own,
presenting a mathematical foundation for various kinds of dynamical
systems, infinite data structures, and logics. Coalgebra has an ever
growing range of applications in and interactions with other fields
such as reactive and interactive system theory, object oriented and
concurrent programming, formal system specification, modal logic,
dynamical systems, control systems, category theory, algebra,
analysis, etc.

The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:

* the theory of coalgebras (including set theoretic and categorical
approaches);
* coalgebras as computational and semantical models (for programming
languages, dynamical systems, etc.);
* coalgebras in (functional, object-oriented, concurrent) programming;
* coalgebras and data types;
* (coinductive) definition and proof principles for coalgebras (with
bisimulations or invariants);
* coalgebras and algebras;
* coalgebraic specification and verification;
* coalgebras and (modal) logic;
* coalgebra and control theory (notably of discrete event and hybrid
systems).

An anniversary: the 10th CMCS
----------------------------------------

CMCS took place for the first time when ETAPS started, in 1998. Since
then, it has always been collocated with ETAPS, becoming bi-annual
since the start of CALCO (Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra) in
2005.

In 2010, we will celebrate the 10th edition of CMCS,
by inviting a number of specialists in the field to present overviews
of both obtained results and future challenges.

Invited Speakers
---------------------

At this tenth meeting the following invited speakers will present
overviews of important subareas.

* Venanzio Capretta: Coalgebra in functional programming and type theory
* Bartek Klin: Operational semantics coalgebraically
* Dirk Pattinson: Logic and coalgebra
* Ana Sokolova: Probabilistic systems coalgebraically

Submissions
--------------

There are two types of submissions possible:

(a) Papers to be evaluated by the PC for publication in the proceedings:

They must have a length no greater than 20 pages. They must contain
original contributions, be clearly written, and include appropriate
reference to and comparison with related work. Accepted papers will
appear in ENTCS (style files can be found in http://www.entcs.org/).
The web-based system EasyChair will be used for submission
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmcs10).

After the event, a special journal issue of selected papers will be
considered.

(b) Short contributions:

These will not be published in the proceedings but will be bundled in
a CWI technical report.

They should be no more than two pages and may describe work in
progress, summarise work submitted to a conference or workshop
elsewhere, or in some other way appeal to the CMCS audience. For
short submissions, the style file easychair.cls should be used
(http://www.easychair.org/coolnews.cgi). The submission (pdf file)
is via email: cmcs10@cwi.nl.

Important dates

CFP: Logic Algebra and Truth Degrees 2010

(apologies for multiple copies)

****************************************

Logic, Algebra and Truth Degrees 2010

September 7 - 11, Prague, Czech Republic

First announcement

****************************************

Logic, Algebra and Truth Degrees is the second official meeting of the
EUSFLAT Working Group on Mathematical Fuzzy Logic (www.mathfuzzlog.org).

Mathematical Fuzzy Logic is a subdiscipline of Mathematical Logic which
studies the notion of comparative truth. The assumption that "truth comes
in degrees" has proved to be very useful in many, both theoretical and
applied, areas of Mathematics, Computer Science and Philosophy.

The main goals of this meeting are to foster collaboration between
researchers in the area of Mathematical Fuzzy Logic and to promote
communication and cooperation with members of neighbouring fields.

The featured topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

. Proof systems for fuzzy logics: Hilbert, Gentzen, natural deduction,
tableaux, resolution, computational complexity, etc.

. Algebraic semantics: residuated lattices, MTL-algebras, BL-algebras,
MV-algebras, Abstract Algebraic Logic, functional representation, etc.

. Game-theory: Giles games, Renyi-Ulam games, evaluation games, etc.

. First-order fuzzy logics: axiomatizations, arithmetical hierarchy,
model theory, etc.

. Higher-order fuzzy logical systems: type theories, Fuzzy Class
Theory, and formal fuzzy mathematics.

. Philosophical issues: connections with vagueness and uncertainty.

. Applied fuzzy logical calculi: foundations of fuzzy logical
programming, logic-based reasoning about similarity, fuzzy description
logics, etc.

We also welcome contributions on any relevant aspects of related logical
systems (such as substructural and quantum logics, and many-valued logics
in general).
