[DMANET] PASCO 2010: Extended submission deadline

(Please accept our apologies if you receive this message multiple times)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parallel Symbolic Computation 2010 (PASCO 2010)

July 21-23, 2010 -- Grenoble, France

http://pasco2010.imag.fr/

Third Announcement and

C A L L f o r P A P E R S

*** Submission date extended to April 18 ***

Overview:

The International Workshop on Parallel and Symbolic Computation (PASCO)
is a series of workshops dedicated to the promotion and advancement of
parallel algorithms and software in all areas of symbolic mathematical
computation. The pervasive ubiquity of parallel architectures and
memory hierarchy has led to the emergence of a new quest for parallel
mathematical algorithms and software capable of exploiting the various
levels of parallelism: from hardware acceleration technologies (multi-
core and multi-processor system on chip, GPGPU, FPGA) to cluster and
global computing platforms. To push up the limits of symbolic and
algebraic computations, beyond the optimization of the application
itself, the effective use of a large number of resources --memory
and general or specialized computing units-- is expected to enhance
the performance multi-criteria objectives: time, energy consumption,
resource usage, reliability. In this context, the design and the
implementation of mathematical algorithms with provable and adaptive
performances is a major challenge.

Earlier meetings in the PASCO series include PASCO'94 (Linz, Austria),
PASCO'97 (Maui, U.S.A.), PASCO'07 (London, Canada).
PASCO 2010 is affiliated with the 2010 International Symposium on
Symbolic and Algebraic Computation (ISSAC) in Munich, Germany.
Immediately prior to the ISSAC 2010 meeting, PASCO will be held in
Grenoble, France.

The workshop PASCO 2010 will be a three-day event including invited
presentations and tutorials, contributed research papers and posters,
and a programming contest.
Specific topics include, but are not limited to:
* Design and analysis of parallel algorithms for computer algebra
* Practical parallel implementation of symbolic or symbolic-numeric
algorithms
* High-performance software tools and libraries for computer algebra
* Applications of high-performance computer algebra
* Distributed data-structures for computer algebra
* Hardware acceleration technologies (multi-cores, GPUs, FPGAs) applied
to computer algebra
* Cache complexity and cache-oblivious algorithms for computer algebra
* Compile-time and run-time techniques for automating optimization and
platform adaptation of computer algebra algorithms

Call for Papers:

The conference invites submission of papers presenting original
research, either in the form of extended abstracts (2 pages) or
full papers (up to 10 pages) in ACM format. As in previous years,
PASCO 2010 will publish formal proceedings of the accepted papers.

The PASCO 2010 Conference proceedings will be published by the
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) http://www.acm.org/ and
will be made available in the ACM Digital Library. The proceedings
will also be distributed on CDs to the participants of the workshop.

Programming Contest:

A programming contest will be organized during the PASCO 2010 meeting.
Each participating team will be competing on one or more programming
challenges proposed by the organizing committee and by the participants.
Details can be found at the PASCO 2010 web site.

Important Dates: (extended w.r.t. previous calls for papers)

Paper submission deadline: April 18 (Sun), 2010

[DMANET] Algorithmic Models of Wireless Communication

=========================================================================
Call for Participation

Workshop on Algorithmic Models of Wireless Communication (WRAWN)

http://wrawn.ru.is

Bergen, Norway
June 19-20, 2010

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

The Workshop on Algorithmic Models of Wireless Communication has been
initiated to create a concerted effort to better understand the
fundamental algorithmic properties of wireless communication.

The workshop will be structured as a problem-solving event, with several
selected talks and short recent contributions interspersed with ample
time for discussions. There will be no formal proceedings, but a booklet
of abstracts will be distributed on site. An invited talk will be given
by Roger Wattenhofer, ETH.

Presentations are solicited. Please submit talk abstracts directly to
the organizers before May 1.

Workshop rationale:

Surprisingly little is known about the algorithmic complexity and
efficiency of wireless networks, despite their near omnipresence.
Fundamental questions such as how much wireless communication is possible
simultaneously are still yet to be resolved. Many of the answers depend
on the wireless transmission model. Past algorithmic research has largely
focused on graph-based models, which have been shown to be inefficient
and/or unrealistic, both theoretically and experimentally. In contrast,
research in communication, or network theory has centered on more realistic
model, such as the signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) model, but
primarly using experimental and heuristic approaches that give limited
insights into the complexity of the communication problems.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers from different
areas and disciplines to approach these questions in a new way, as well
as to introduce these emerging topics to young researchers.

[DMANET] RP2010 - REACHABILITY PROBLEMS (Submission is open)

----------------------- Second Call for Papers ------------------------------
4th WORKSHOP ON REACHABILITY PROBLEMS, RP'2010
(August 27-29, 2010, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic)
co-located with MFCS & CSL 2010
http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~rp2010/

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Deadline for submissions: April 21, 2010
Proceedings will be published in the
Springer LNCS series
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Workshop on Reachability Problems will be hosted by the
Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic
and will be co-located with Joint MFCS and CSL 2010. RP'10 is
the fourth in the series of workshops following three successful
meetings at Ecole Polytechnique, France in 2009 at University of
Liverpool, UK in 2008 and at Turku University, Finland in 2007.
Scope: The Reachability Workshop is specifically aimed at
gathering together scholars from diverse disciplines and backgrounds
interested in reachability problems that appear in
- Algebraic structures
- Computational models
- Hybrid systems
- Logic and Verification

Invited Speakers:

- Markus Holzer (Giessen University, Germany)
- Kim Guldstrand Larsen (Aalborg University, Denmark)
- Alexander Rabinovich (Tel Aviv University, Israel)
- Philippe Schnoebelen (ENS Cachan, France)

Important dates:

Submission: April 21, 2010
Notification: June 3, 2010
Final version: June 10, 2010
Conference dates: Aug. 27-29, 2010

Topics of interest:

Papers presenting original contributions related to reachability
problems in different computational models and systems are
being sought. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Reachability for infinite state systems, rewriting systems;
Reachability analysis in counter/ timed/ cellular/ communicating
automata; Petri-Nets; computational aspects of semigroups,
groups and rings; Reachability in dynamical and hybrid systems;
frontiers between decidable and undecidable reachability
problems; complexity and decidability aspects; predictability
in iterative maps and new computational paradigms

The reachability problems are in the core of many questions
of computer science and mathematics. This topic covers
many aspects about the analysis of computational traces/paths
in classical and unconventional computational models, logic,
algebraic structures as well as in mathematical systems and
control theory. The classical reachability can be formulated as
follows: Given a computational system or model with a set of
allowed transformations (functions). Decide whether a certain
state of a system is reachable from a given initial state by a set
of allowed transformations. The same questions can be asked
not only about reachability of exact states of the system but
also about a set of states expressed in term of some property
as a parameterized reachability problem. Another set of
predictability questions can be seen in terms of reachability of
eligible traces of computations, their equivalence; unavoidability
of some dynamics and a possibility to avoid undesirable dynamic
using a limited control.

Proceedings

The Conference Proceedings will be published as the volume
of the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) series http://www.springer.com/lncs and distributed at the
Conference. We plan also to publish selected papers in a special
issue of a high quality journal following the regular referee procedure.

Submissions:

Authors are invited to submit a draft of a full paper
with at most 12 pages (in LaTeX, formatted according
to LNCS guidelines) via the conference web page.
Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put
into an appendix to be read by the program committee

[DMANET] MIPLIB2010 – Call for contribution

Dear colleagues.

Since its first release in 1992, the MIPLIB has become a standard test set
used to compare the performance of mixed integer linear optimization software
and to evaluate the computational performance of newly developed algorithms
and solution techniques.
Seven years have passed since the last update in 2003. Again, the progress in
state-of-the-art optimizers, and improvements in computing machinery have made
several instances too easy to be of further interest. New challenges need to
be considered!
Last year a group of interested parties including participants from ASU, COIN,
FICO, Gurobi, IBM, and MOSEK met at ZIB to discuss the guidelines for the 2010
release of the MIPLIB. It will be the fifth edition of the Mixed-Integer
Programming LIBrary.

Therefore, we are looking for interesting and challenging (mixed-)integer
linear problems from all fields of Operations Research and Combinatorial
Optimization, ideally ones which have been built to model real life problems.
We would be very happy if you contributed to this library by sending us hard
and/or real life instances.
We have recently opened our submission web page and are looking forward to
your contributions:
http://miplib.zib.de/miplib2010

Thanks and best regards,
Timo Berthold in behalf of the IP group at ZIB.

Ad Auctions 2010

CALL FOR PAPERS

Sixth Workshop on Ad Auctions
June 8, 2010
Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
http://sites.google.com/site/adauctions2010/

In conjunction with the
Eleventh ACM Conference on Electronic Commerce (EC'10)

We solicit submissions for the Sixth Workshop on Ad Auctions, to be
held June 8, 2010 at Harvard University  in conjunction with the ACM
Conference on Electronic Commerce. The workshop will bring together
researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss
the latest developments in online advertisement auctions and
exchanges.

In the past decade, we've seen a rapid trend toward automation in
advertising, not only in how ads are delivered and measured, but also
in how ads are sold. Web search advertising has led the way, selling
space on search results pages for particular queries in continuous,
dynamic "next price" auctions worth billions of dollars annually.

Now auctions and exchanges for all types of online advertising --
including banner and video ads -- are commonplace, run by startups and
Internet giants alike. An ecosystem of third party agencies has grown
to help marketers manage their increasingly complex campaigns.

The rapid emergence of new modes for selling and delivering ads is
fertile ground for research from both economic and computational
perspectives. What auction or exchange mechanisms increase advertiser
value or publisher revenue? What constraints on supply and budget make
sense? How should advertisers and publishers bid? How can both
publishers and advertisers incorporate learning and optimization,
including balancing exploration and exploitation? How do practical
constraints like real-time delivery impact design? How is automation
changing the advertising industry? How will ad auctions and exchanges
evolve in the next decade? How should they evolve?

Papers from a rich set of empirical, experimental, and theoretical
perspectives are invited. Topics of interest for the workshop include
but are not limited to:

 * Web search advertising (sponsored search)

 * Banner advertising

 * Ad networks, ad exchanges

 * Comparison shopping

 * Mechanism and market design for advertising

 * Ad targeting and personalization

 * Learning, optimization, and explore/exploit tradeoffs in ad placement

 * Marketing and advertisement over social networks

 * Ranking and placement of ads

 * Computational and cognitive constraints

 * Game-theoretic analysis of mechanisms, behaviors, and dynamics

 * Matching algorithms: exact and inexact match

 * Equilibrium characterizations

 * Laboratory experiments and simulations

 * Advertiser signaling, collusion

 * Pay for impression, click, and conversion; conversion tracking

 * Campaign optimization; bidding agents; search engine marketing (SEM)

 * Local (geographic) advertising

 * Contextual advertising (e.g., Google AdSense)

 * User satisfaction/defection

 * User incentives and rewards

 * Affiliate model

 * Incentive analysis

 * Click fraud detection and prevention

 * Price time series analysis

 * Multiattribute and expressive auctions

 * Bidding languages for advertising


We solicit contributions of two types: (1) research contributions, and
(2) position statements. Research contributions should report new
(unpublished) research results or ongoing research. The workshop
proceedings can be considered non-archival, meaning contributors are
free to publish their results later in archival journals or
conferences. Research contributions can be up to ten pages long, in
double-column ACM SIG proceedings format. Position statements are
short descriptions of the authors' view of how ad auction research or
practice will or should evolve. Position statements should be no more
than five pages long. Panel discussion proposals and invited speaker
suggestions are also welcome.

The workshop will include a significant portion of invited
presentations along with presentations on accepted research
contributions. There will be time for both organized and open
discussion. Registration will be open to all EC'10 attendees.

The first five workshops on advertising auctions successfully
attracted a wide audience from academia and industry working on
various aspects of web search advertising. Following the footsteps of
the previous workshops, the Sixth Workshop on Ad Auctions strives to
be a venue that helps address challenges in the broader field of
online advertising, by providing opportunities for researchers and
practitioners to interact with each other, stake out positions, and
present their latest research findings.


Submission Instructions
Research contributions should report new (unpublished) research
results or ongoing research. The workshop's proceedings can be
considered non-archival, meaning contributors are free to publish
their results later in archival journals or conferences. Research
contributions can be up to ten pages long, in double-column ACM SIG
proceedings format:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates

AlgoGT 2010

Workshop on Algorithmic Game Theory:
Dynamics and Convergence in Distributed Systems

July 5, 2010
Bordeaux, France

Colocated with ICALP 2010

http://algo-gt.imag.fr/
______________________________________________________________________

Workshop:
---------
This workshop is devoted in problems related to sharing ressources in
network or in distributed systems.

More and more distributed systems include agents that interact in
various and varying degrees of collaboration and competition. For
example, in telecommunication protocols, inter-domain routing often
involves routes that belong to commercial companies whose benefits are
function of the involved traffic, and hence function of a global
competition. As another example, in the computational grid tasks must
often be scheduled on machines, that may belong to several
organizations that have their own objectives. This may lead to
globally sub-optimal load balancing situations resulting of the
competition between organizations that have to optimize their own
objectives.

Topics of Interests:
------------
Original contributions in resource allocation and cooperation for in network or in
distributed systems are solicited in, but not limited to, the following directions:

* Algorithmic Game Theory
* Evaluations of quality of solutions
* Algorithms for repeated or dynamic games
* Notion of stability in distributed System
* Algorithmic Aspects of Networks
* Convergence results for distributed system
* Self-stabilization
* Comparison of centralized versus distributed algorithms

Submissions:
------------
Submitted papers must be written in English, use at least 11 point
font, have reasonable margins, and not exceed 8 pages.

Proceedings:
------------
Speakers will be invited to contribute to a special issue of a journal if the level of the contributions allows.

CALL FOR PAPERS (CFP)

IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic Issue on "Green Communications"

Manuscript Submission Due: April 1, 2010 extended to April 15, 2010

The unprecedented expansion of wireline and wireless networks has resulted
in increase in energy consumption and left a significant environmental
footprint. Recently, it has been reported that energy costs can account for
as much as half of a mobile service provider's annual operating expenses.
If the aggregate energy consumption of networking devices would follow the
growth trajectories of Internet traffic (i.e., about 60% per year), the
environmental and financial consequences will be dire. Thus, making ICT
equipment and applications "greener" can not only have a tangible positive
impact on environment, but also help operators attain long-term
profitability. Moreover, green communications can help the world reduce
dependence on fossil fuel, enable demand response and distributed energy
resources, and ultimately achieve sustainable prosperity. Accordingly, a
myriad of communications and information technologies have already been
exploited by the global smart grid initiatives to empower conventional power
grid to support two-way energy and information flow.

To meet the green communications challenges, we have to resort to a plethora
of paradigm-shifting technologies, including but not limiting to
energy-efficient network architecture & protocols, energy-efficient wireless
transmission techniques, energy-efficient home networking, energy-aware
backbone networks, Smart Grid, and opportunistic spectrum sharing without
causing harmful interference pollution (e.g., Green Spectrum).

This IEEE Communications Magazine special issue (feature topic issue) aims
to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in technology,
regulation and standardization for "Green Communications", and present a
holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the coming green
era. Suggested topics include but not limit to the following:

. Energy-efficient circuit and device

. Energy-efficient transmission switching and routing technologies

. Energy-efficient base station architectures and networking

. Energy-efficiency in wired and wireless access networks

. Energy-efficiency in home and enterprise networking

. Energy efficiency of data centers and intelligent cloud computing

. Protocols and protocol extensions to enable energy efficient
networks

. Network-wide cross-layer optimizations to minimize energy
consumption

. Network load balance and smart information storage in distributed
networks

. Instrumentation for energy consumption measurement

. Remote power management for wireless terminals and access networks

. Hierarchical and distributed techniques for energy management

. Harvesting distributed energy generation

. Smart Grid

. Information theory on energy efficiency

. Cognitive, cooperative and reconfigurable networks

. Energy evaluation and comparison of different network technologies

. Novel network concepts and architectures lowering the overall
footprint of ICT (e.g., Compressed Sensing for network monitoring)

. Realistic estimation of the worldwide footprint of communications
and future evolution

. Assessment of the footprint of individual communication devices,
including life cycle assessment

. Regulation and standardization

. Deployment, trial experience, business models and applications
(e.g., green multimedia broadcasting, femtocells)

Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style
comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the field. Authors must
follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the
manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at
www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html
<http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html> . Please send
