Innovation in Theoretical Computer Science 2012

Just a reminder that the ITCS conference is less than two weeks away and there is still time to register and book hotel rooms.

ITCS (2012) NEWS!

Dear Theorists:

As you know the third Innovation in Theoretical Computer Science Conference will be held in Cambridge this January:  http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/newengland/events/itcs2012/.

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN and THE PROGRAM IS ONLINE.

In addition to the program, there are going to be a few novelties that we would like to point out to you. 

1. GRADUATING BITS

In one session of the conference, students graduating this academic year (as well as researchers completing their postdoc this academic year) will be given few minutes to present themselves and their work.

The presentations will be grouped by University, in alphabetic order.

We hope this will give all of us an opportunity to have a synopsis of the great work being done by the "graduating" members of our community.

In order to speak in this special session, please send an email at  silvio.itcs12@gmail.com by DECEMBER 15.

Registration fees will be waived for presenters at Graduating Bits 2012.

If you/your students are graduating this year, or you plan to hire this year, we are encourage to attend ITCS 2012!

2. COMMUNITY BUILDING

To strengthen our (legendary!) friendship and collaboration, we will treat you to a PLAY BACK show: an improvisational theater where OUR actors will bring to life YOUR stories. 

3. CHAIR RANTS

In addition to the chair of each session introducing the speakers and coauthors of the session (who will then introduce themselves and their coauthors), our chairs will provide us with their insights on the papers in their sessions.

We look forward to seeing all of you in Cambridge very soon!

All the Best

[DMANET] Postdoc position in TCS at KTH Royal Institute of Technology

The Theory group at KTH Royal Institute of Technology invites applications
for a postdoctoral position in Theoretical Computer Science with a focus
on proof complexity and connections to SAT solving.

KTH is the leading technical university in Sweden, with education and
research spanning from natural sciences to all branches of engineering
including architecture, industrial management and urban planning. The
Theory group at KTH (http://www.csc.kth.se/tcs/) offers a strong research
environment covering a wide range of research topics such as complexity
theory and approximation algorithms, computer and network security,
cryptography, formal methods and natural language processing. The group
has a consistent track record of publishing regularly in the leading
theoretical computer science conferences and journals worldwide, and the
research conducted here has attracted numerous international awards and
grants in recent years.

We are seeking a postdoc for the research project "Understanding the
Hardness of Theorem Proving" in the area of proof complexity with
connections to SAT solving.

In this project, we aim to advance the frontiers of proof complexity by
studying proof space and connections between proof size and proof space, a
line of research that has seen exciting developments in the last decade.
We also intend to attack (and hopefully make progress on) some of the more
classical long-standing open problems in the field. Our hope is then that
we can leverage this theoretical research to shed light on questions
related to SAT solving. A more detailed description of the project can be
found at http://www.csc.kth.se/~jakobn/project-proofcplx.

The project is led by Jakob Nordstrom (http://www.csc.kth.se/~jakobn) and
is financed by a Starting Independent Researcher Grant from the European
Research Council. The postdoctoral researcher will be part of a team
consisting also of the PI and two PhD students. Travel funding is
included, and the group also expects to continue receiving short-term and
long-term visitors on a regular basis.

This is a full-time employed position for one year with a possible
one-year extension. The successful candidate is expected to start in
August-September 2012, although this is to some extent negotiable.

To receive full consideration, applications should be received by January
31, 2012. More information and instructions how to apply can be found at
www.csc.kth.se/~jakobn/openings/D-2011-0603-Eng.php. Informal enquiries
are welcome and may be sent to Jakob Nordstrom.

[DMANET] GRAPHITE 2012: Second Call for Papers

CALL FOR PAPERS

GRAPHITE 2012
First Workshop on GRAPH Inspection and Traversal Engineering
March 31-April 1, 2012, Tallinn, Estonia
(affiliated with ETAPS 2012)
http://www.win.tue.nl/~awijs/graphite2012
---------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT DATES
----------------------------

January 4, 2012, Submission deadline

March 31-April 1, 2012, Workshop dates

SCOPE
---------

The main theme of the GRAPHITE workshop is graph search in all its forms in computer science. Graph search algorithms tend to have common characteristics, such as duplicate detection, 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. 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 will be held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2012, the 15th 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.

WORKSHOP SPECIFIC TOPICS
-----------------------------------------

We encourage submission of works which include but are not limited to the following topics (a more detailed list can be found on the workshop webpage):

* Algorithms for the verification of hardware and software based on graph exploration
* Application of graph based verification techniques to artificial intelligence problems
* Techniques for dealing 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
* I/O Efficient algorithms for graph exploration using external memory

Preliminary papers, papers on applications, and papers bridging multiple application domains are strongly encouraged.

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 and should be no longer than 15 pages. All accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings.

We solicit two kinds of papers:

*Technical Papers no longer than 15 pages. All accepted technical papers will be included in the proceedings.

*Tool Presentations. This kind of submission should consist of two parts. The first part is at most a 5 page description of the tool. If accepted, this part will be published in the workshop proceedings. The second part should describe an informal plan for an oral presentation of the tool. This part will not be included in the proceedings.

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 rise in wireless technologies for both local and wide-area networking, such
as ZigBee, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, 3G and LTE, indicates that the Internet is becoming
increasingly wireless. Accurate measurements of practical wireless deployments
are vital for researchers to evaluate the real-world performance of proposed
solutions. In addition to better understanding of systems, experimental wireless
network measurements allow for better analytical and simulation models which are
often limited by simplified protocol and wireless channel models. As a
consequence, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained
wide recognition in the wireless networking research community. This workshop
continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt in 2005, and is intended
to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking
and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental
wireless network measurements.

We seek novel papers that advance the understanding of wireless networks through
testbed measurements or field experiments. Topics of interest include, but are
not limited to the following:

- Experimentations and measurements of wireless networks:
* Experience and measurements from building, designing and/or operating
wireless networks (including location and energy consumption)
* Measurement and characterization of mobile network (e.g., traffic, usage
and mobility patterns)
* Experimental validation of network simulation and mobility models in
actual wireless environments
* Measurements-driven models and simulations of wireless networks
operations
* Measurements-based network management and troubleshooting
* Large-scale or federated test-bed measurements
* Home networking measurements
- Techniques for wireless networks measurements:
* Techniques for improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying
experiment setup and reconfiguration
* Techniques for validating the results obtained in wireless testbeds
* Techniques for measuring heterogeneous wireless networks
* Techniques for collecting, archiving, anonymising and sharing wireless
measurement data
* Techniques and experimental results on performance measurements of
cognitive radio systems
* Software tools for building and/or managing wireless test-beds
(e.g., wireless link emulation)
* Spectrum utilization measurements techniques in spectrum sharing and
cognitive radio networks

The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently
under review by another conference or journal. All submissions should be written
in English with a maximum paper length of six printed pages (IEEE conference
double column format, 10pt) including figures without incurring additional page
charges (maximum 1 additional page with over-length page charge if accepted).
The submitted manuscript should include a brief abstract of up to 150 words. The
submission will be handled via EDAS (http://edas.info//N11509). Only PDF files
are acceptable. The accepted papers will be published in the conference
proceedings and will be available via the IEEE Xplore website.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Sixth IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on
Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications (AOC 2012)
June 25, 2012 - San Francisco, California, USA
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2012/

jointly supported by the

SCAMPI project
funded by the FP7-ICT Programme under the
Future Internet Research and Experimentation (FIRE) initiative
http://www.ict-scampi.eu/

and

RECOGNITION project
funded by the FP7-ICT Programme under the
Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) initiative
http://www.recognition-project.eu/

Fast Track on Computer Communication Journal

**** Submission Deadline --- February 17, 2012 ****
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The diffusion of lightweight, powerful portable devices, also enriched with a
variety of sensing capabilities, is enabling new ways for users' communication,
and laying the foundation for realizing the ubiquitous networking idea. Acting
either as the main communication mode or as complement to existing mobile
network infrastructures, opportunistic networking can leverage the mobility of
end users and enhance their communication capabilities. The opportunistic
exploitation of extemporary contacts among the users of the network paves the
way to a number of applications but also poses new and challenging problems to
the networking research community. The AOC 2012 workshop aims at serving as a
meeting point for people working in the area and a forum for exchanging ideas,
discussing solutions, and sharing experiences among researchers, professionals,
and application developers, both from industry and academia. As with the
previous five editions of the AOC workshop series, the scope of this year's
workshop will remain on general issues related to opportunistic networking and
computing. Yet, AOC 2012 will have a primary interest in new directions of
opportunistic communications, such as service composition techniques, scenarios
of co-existence with infrastructure networks, and insights to their operation
coming from other disciplines such as game theory and cognitive psychology. The
workshop will solicit original papers addressing theoretical and practical
aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications but also papers describing
prototype implementations and deployments.

Topics of interest for AOC 2012 include, but are not limited to:

* Routing, transport, and reliability issues
* Techniques for data dissemination and replication
* Applications and middleware support, mobile social networking applications
* Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces
* Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms
* Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile wireless
networks
* Service composition in autonomic and opportunistic networks
* Cognition-driven information processing and decision making
* Performance modelling, scaling laws, and fundamental limits for autonomic
and opportunistic communications
* Game-theoretic insights to the operation of autonomic and opportunistic
networks
* Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks
* Trust, security, and reputation
* Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and prototypes,
measurement data from real experiments
* Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
--------------------------------

Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under
review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages,
single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template
format. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2012/.

Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. At
least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present
his/her work at the workshop. There will be no separate registration for
workshop, but one single registration will cover both conference and workshops
participation.

Extended versions of workshop selected papers will be considered for possible
fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier).

[Apologies for possible duplicates, please post!]

**********************************************************************
   4th International Symposium on Unifying Theories of Programming
                     co-located with FM2012
                      August 27 - 28, 2012
                          Paris, France

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

CALL FOR PAPERS
Interest in the fundamental problem of the combination of formal
notations and theories of programming has grown consistently in recent
years. The theories define, in various different ways, many common
notions, such as abstraction, refinement, choice, termination, feasibility,
concurrency and communication. Despite these differences, such theories
may be unified in a way which greatly facilitates their study and
comparison. Moreover, such a unification offers a means of combining
different languages describing various facets and artifacts of software
development in a seamless, logically consistent way. Hoare and He's
Unifying Theories of Programming (UTP) is widely acknowledged one
of the most significant such unification approaches to have emerged in
the last 15 years.

Based on their pioneering work, the aims of the UTP Symposium
series are to continue reaffirming the significance of the ongoing UTP
project and to stimulate efforts to advance it by providing a focus for the
sharing of results by those already actively contributing, and to raise
awareness of the benefits of such unifying theoretical frameworks among
the wider computer science and software engineering communities.

To this end the Symposium welcomes contributions on all the themes
that can be related to the Unifying Theories of Programming.


SUBMISSIONS
Papers may be up to 20 pages in length and should be prepared using
LaTeX in Springer LNCS paper format. Submissions should be made
through the UTP 2012 easyChair.


PUBLICATION
Symposium Proceedings will appear in Springer's Lectures Notes in
Computer Science.

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

e-Energy is the conference on future energy systems, where energy, computing and communication meet. The first e-Energy conference was held in April 2010, in Passau (Germany), and the second took place in May/June 2011 at Columbia University, in New York City (USA).

 

e-Energy 2012 invites submission of two categories of paper: full papers and discussion papers. Full papers should be no longer than 10 pages and discussion papers should be no longer than 4 pages. All papers must present original theoretical and/or experimental research that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or is not currently under review by another conference or journal.

 

Submissions must be in PDF-format using the double-column ACM format given at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates

Further submission information can be accessed via http://events.networks.imdea.org/content/e-energy-2012/paper-submission. Proceedings will be published by ACM and appear in the ACM Digital Library. Full papers should include a detailed description of research either in progress or completed. A discussion paper describes innovative and novel ideas that have not yet been fully explored, but have the potential to influence the research community. A discussion paper could, for example, expose a new problem, advocate a new approach, re-frame or debunk existing work, report unexpected results from a deployment, or propose new evaluation methodologies. We especially encourage submissions of early-stage work and enticing but unproven ideas.
