[DMANET] FLINT 1.6 Release

Hi all,

It is with pleasure that we announce a major new version of FLINT
(Fast Library for Number Theory). FLINT is a C library for low level
functionality relevant to number theory, including polynomial
arithmetic and linear algebra. It is used by Sage, for polynomial
arithmetic over Z and Z/nZ for small prime n.

The new version of FLINT can be downloaded from:

http://www.flintlib.org/

The documentation for this release can be downloaded here:

http://www.flintlib.org/flint-1.6.pdf (95 pp.)

The major new features of this release (version 1.6) are:
========================================

* Implementation of the Zassenhaus algorithm for univariate polynomial
factoring over Z

* Implementation of a new algorithm for factoring polynomials over Z.
See the papers by van Hoeij and Novocin:

http://prunel.ccsd.cnrs.fr/ensl-00452881/en/

and van Hoeij, Novocin and Hart:

* Implementation of new CLD bounds function for polynomial factors.
See the paper of van Hoeij, Novocin and Hart:

http://prunel.ccsd.cnrs.fr/ensl-00546114/en/

Timings in the paper have improved substantially. Over the next few
weeks we will update the new timings here:

http://andy.novocin.com/timings/

(they are currently not up-to-date).

* Restartable variant of Victor Shoup's (NTL) Hensel lifting

* Heuristic LLL implementations using doubles and mpfr (heavily influenced
by fpLLL)

* LLL implementations optimised for knapsack lattices

* New heuristically subquadratic LLL implementation (ULLL). This is
unpublished work of Andy Novocin, but is inspired by the new algorithm
of Novocin, Stehle and Villard:

http://prunel.ccsd.cnrs.fr/ensl-00534899/en/

* An implementation of the Cantor-Zassenhaus algorithm for factoring
polynomials over Z/nZ

* A new F_mpz_mod_poly module for polynomials over Z/pZ for multiprecision p.

Build notes:
========

* FLINT 1.6 now depends on GMP/MPIR and MPFR.

* FLINT now respects CC and CXX

Further notes:
==========

A vast number of new functions were added in FLINT 1.6. For a partial
list of the improvements, please see:

http://selmer.warwick.ac.uk/CHANGES.txt

Future of FLINT:
===============

Expect FLINT 2.0 very soon....

Seasons Greetings,

The FLINT Team.

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

CALL FOR PAPERS

WoWMoM 2011 - Industry Track
Twelfth International Symposium on a
World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks

http://wowmom2011.imtlucca.it/callindustry.html

sponsored by
IEEE Computer Society,
University of Texas at Arlington,
IEEE CS TC on Computer Communications (TCCC)

June 20-24, 2011
Lucca, Tuscany, Italy

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

****** SUBMISSION DEADLINE: February 4th, 2011 *******

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

IEEE WoWMoM 2011 is soliciting original and previously unpublished
research papers from industry researchers and professionals for a one-
day Industry Session.

Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Wireless BAN, PAN, LAN and MAN
- 3G and 4G Wireless Systems
- Ad hoc, Sensor and Wireless Mesh Networks
- Vehicle-to-X Communications (V2V, V2I, V2B)
- Mobile P2P Networks
- IP-based Mobile Networks
- System Prototypes, Measurements and Real Deployment Experiences
- Design of New Protocols and Performance Evaluation
- Energy-Efficient Protocols and Power Management
- Wireless Multimedia
- Middleware and Wireless Applications

# - Wireless Security, Dependability, Reliability and Survivability
- Context-Aware Wireless Multimedia Applications
- Location Mechanism and Services
- Multicasting and Broadcasting Issues
- Handoff and Mobility Management
- Seamless Internetworking
- Networking Services for Pervasive Systems
- Network Management and Troubleshooting
- Content Management and Distribution

The Industry Session track is intended to specially highlight system
experiences and proofs-of-concept in the areas above. Like regular
papers, the Industry Session papers will undergo a review process by an
international TPC and will appear in the conference proceedings.

However, the selection criteria for Industry Session papers are slightly
different. In particular, papers should describe applications, prototypes
or experiences of clear industry relevance. Papers with narrow
algorithmic focus or only high-level design details are discouraged. A
key goal of this session is to present systems-oriented research that
exposes the academic and research communities to real-life issues and
problems being faced in industry. Accordingly, papers will be evaluated,
less on the novelty of specific algorithmic content, but by the
originality and general applicability of insights that can be inferred
from the authors' implementation experience.

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Papers must be formatted according to the guidelines given in
http://wowmom2011.imtlucca.it/submission.html and submitted using EDAS.

CPAIOR 2011

Eighth International Conference on Integration of Artificial
Intelligence and Operations Research Techniques in Constraint
Programming

ZUSE INSTITUTE BERLIN - GERMANY

MAY 23 - 27, 2011

Dear colleagues,

we apologize in advance for multiple copies.

The Eighth International Conference on Integration of Artificial
Intelligence and Operations Research Techniques in Constraint Programming
will be held in Berlin, Germany, May 23-27, 2011.

The aim of the conference is to bring together interested researchers from
Constraint Programming (CP), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Operations
Research (OR) to present new techniques or new applications in
combinatorial optimization and to provide an opportunity for researchers
in one area to learn about techniques in the others. A main objective of
this conference series is also to give these researchers the opportunity
to show how the integration of techniques from different fields can lead
to interesting results on large and complex problems.

===========================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS
===========================================================

Papers that actively combine, integrate, or contrast approaches from more
than one of the areas are especially solicited. High quality papers from a
single area are also welcome, provided that they are of interest to other
communities involved. Finally, application papers showcasing CP/AI/OR
techniques on innovative and challenging applications or experience
reports on such applications are strongly encouraged.

The program committee invites submissions that include but are not limited
to the following topics:

* Inference and relaxation methods: constraint propagation, cutting
planes, global constraints, graph algorithms, dynamic programming,
Lagrangean and convex relaxations, heuristic functions based on constraint
relaxation.
* Search methods: branch and bound, intelligent backtracking, incomplete
search, randomized search, column generation and other decomposition
methods, local search, meta-heuristics.
* Integration methods: static/dynamic problem decomposition, solver
communication, transformations between models and solvers, collaboration
between concurrent methods, models, and solvers.
* Modeling methods: comparison of models, symmetry breaking, uncertainty,
dominance relationships.
* Innovative Applications of CP/AI/OR techniques.
* Implementation of CP/AI/OR techniques and optimization systems.

27th European Workshop on Computational Geometry

http://eurocg11.inf.ethz.ch/
March 28-30, 2011
Antoniushaus Morschach, Switzerland

Call for Papers

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

The 27th European Workshop on Computational Geometry (EuroCG 11) will
be held on March 28-30, 2011, at Antoniushaus Morschach, Switzerland.

EuroCG is an annual, informal workshop whose goal is to provide a
forum for scientists to meet, present their work, interact, and
establish collaborations, in order to promote research in the field of
Computational Geometry, within Europe and beyond. The workshop is
known for its friendly and informal atmosphere through which both
established and young researchers will have a productive exchange of
ideas.

Submissions:

EuroCG does not have formally reviewed proceedings. A booklet of
abstracts is distributed at the conference. This booklet does not have
an ISBN number, and its content - just like the pdf files of abstracts
available on the EuroCG websites - should be regarded as a collection
of preprints. Therefore, results presented at EuroCG are often also
submitted to peer-reviewed conferences and/or journals.

We invite authors to submit extended abstracts (4 pages, two columns)
of original research. Submissions will be handled through
EasyChair. Please refer to the conference website
(http://eurocg11.inf.ethz.ch/) for additional information, in
particular regarding the submission format.

Selected papers from EuroCG'11 will be considered for a special issue
of the journal Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications.

Important Dates:

Submission Deadline: January 9, 2011
Acceptance Notification: January 31, 2011
Camera-ready version: February 18, 2011

Topics of interest:

- discrete and combinatorial geometry and topology
- design and analysis of geometric algorithms and data structures
- implementation and experimental evaluation of geometric algorithms
- numerical and algebraic issues arising from implementations
- analysis of geometric configurations
- geometric modeling, visualization, and simulation
- combinatorial optimization
- computer-aided design and manufacturing
- structural molecular biology
- geographic information systems
- robotics and virtual worlds
- and other fields.
