Simulation is a well‐known approach that can have different abstraction levels and can integrate different elements of a studied system. It consists in the development of a representation of a system (logistics one, manufacturing, operative, etc.) using modelling formalisms, off‐the‐shelf software programs, or programming languages. It is commonly used at industrial level to obtain a better understanding of the studied system. With the use of the model different experiments may be carried out in order to test different research questions, such as the performance of new configurations, identify bottlenecks in the current system, and inefficiencies that are perceived as an increase in operative costs. Unfortunately, the experiments alone cannot ensure the optimal configurations for the objective pursued (allocation of resources, minimizing operative costs, increase throughput etc.). On the other hand, optimization techniques are very‐well‐accepted techniques which consist in the representation of the problem under study taking into account only the key variables, dependencies, and restrictions of a problem. The main argument against them is that the abstraction process often leaves out of the scope some key elements that participate and affect the performance of a system, giving as a result a potential optimal solution that sometimes results difficult or impossible to implement in the real system.
The book will present techniques, case studies, and methodologies that combine the use of simulation approaches with optimization techniques for facing problems in manufacturing, logistics, or aeronautical problems, which aim at overcoming the shortcomings of both approaches through the combination of them. The book will present detailed techniques and research studies that cope with common industrial problems in several fields, which range from manufacturing to aviation problems, where the common denominator is the combination of simulation's flexibility with optimization techniques' robustness.
The benefit to the reader will be a comprehensive guide to tackle similar problems in industrial environments. The problems presented will serve only as an example, but methodologies used by the scientific community will be of high value in order to cope with complex problems.

[DMANET] Deadline extended: CFP: Special Issue on "Heuristics for Reliable and Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks Deployments" (J. of Heuristics, Springer, Q1)
[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this email]
**** DEADLINE EXTENDED TO DECEMBER 31, 2013 ****
CALL FOR PAPERS:
Special Issue on "HEURISTICS FOR RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT WIRELESS SENSOR
NETWORKS DEPLOYMENTS"
PDF: http://arco.unex.es/hrewsn
http://www.springer.com/mathematics/applications/journal/10732
Journal of Heuristics
Springer, ISSN: 1381-1231. Editor-in-Chief: Manuel Laguna.
Impact factor (2012): 1.471 (Q1, COMPUTER SCIENCE, THEORY & METHODS).
Aims and Scope:
==============
Wireless Sensor Networks are nowadays an extended engineering technology
for many markets due to the great amount of their possibilities in
collecting data from complex environments and processing them for
different purposes. Nevertheless, this interest is not enough to apply
this kind of networks as trustworthy solution for many real-world
environments, such as industrial processes and critical infrastructures,
where high reliability is required, together with other related key
aspects as energy, security and efficiency. Many companies could
overcome their reluctances if economic, reliable and easily deployed
solutions are provided in this field. In this scenario, the heuristics
and computational intelligence play an important role to solve many
involved optimization problems, doing necessary the research on advanced
solutions that result in a successful product. In this sense, there are
many challenges, trends and open possibilities in this area that deserve
to be known. In this special issue, we seek original, high quality
articles, clearly focused on theoretical or practical aspects of the
heuristics and mathematical optimization methods for obtaining reliable
and efficient wireless sensor networks, including but not limited to the
topics shown below.
Topics of Interest:
==================
The topics related to heuristics for reliable and efficient Wireless
Sensor Networks deployments that are relevant to this special issue
include but are not limited to:
* Energy minimization aspects: network lifetime and power savings.
* Efficient networks deployments.
* Heuristics and computational intelligence applied for solving
optimization problems.
* Multiobjective optimization problems.
* Fault tolerance and quality of service.
* Robust routing algorithms, network protocols and operating systems.
* Security and privacy aspects of the communications.
* Microprocessors, circuits, and embedded applications.
* Application cases, user studies and experiences.
Papers must be tailored to the problem of the wireless sensor networks
and explicitly consider heuristics and mathematical optimization
methods. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be
out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished
contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue.
Authors should submit their manuscripts through Editorial Manager
http://www.editorialmanager.com/heur/, selecting "SI - HREWSN" as the
article type.

[DMANET] Call for Participation: The 2nd Cross-domain Heuristic Search Challenge - CHeSC 2014
[Please circulate to all those who might be interested, and accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this announcement.]
The Second Cross-domain Heuristic Search Challenge - CHeSC 2014
www.hyflex.org/chesc2014/
The CHeSC series seeks to bring together practitioners from operational research, computer science and artificial intelligence who are interested in developing more general and reusable methods for automated search control; doing so using hyper-heuristics that can be applied without modification to solve a wide range of instances from different problem domains. In CHeSC 2011, the hyper-heuristic was used to solve each instance separately and independently in a fixed time.
CHeSC 2014 uses a "batch mode" in which the hyper-heuristic is given all the instances as a batch, together with a total time to solve them. As before, the hyper-heuristic then needs to decide how to use the supplied low-level heuristics (move/neighbourhood operators) for the problem domain in order to provide a solution for each instance in the batch. However, new challenges arise because the hyper-heuristic has the opportunity to:
* Decide how to allocate computational time between the instances
* Learn from some instances to be able to work better on others.
To support these, some limited information about features of each instance (size and "kind") is also made available to the hyper-heuristic.
The challenge is open now and with the deadline given below.
Competition Starts: 28 November 2013
Submission Deadline: 28 March 2014
Hence, you have four months to produce a "batch mode hyper-heuristic" that is able to solve a set of instances associated with multiple domains.
To encourage transition towards exploitation of multi-core machines, the competition has two tracks:
1) "Single-solver mode" - only one solver is allowed to run at a time.
2) "Multiple-solver mode" - multiple solvers are allowed to exploit the multiple cores of machine that will be used for evaluation.
In total, £1,200 will be given as prizes to the implementers of top ranking algorithms in the competition.
Sponsors:
-The Automated Scheduling, Optimisation and Planning (ASAP) research group (www.asap.cs.nott.ac.uk)
-The LANCS Initiative (www.lancs-initiative.ac.uk)
Please consult the webpage www.hyflex.org/chesc2014/
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at chesc2014@cs.nott.ac.uk

[DMANET] Visiting PhD student positions at KTH Royal Institute of Technology
The Theory Group at KTH Royal Institute of Technology
(http://www.csc.kth.se/tcs/) invites applications for visiting PhD student
positions during 2014. These positions are intended for PhD students with
a strong research record who would like to spend part of their PhD program
in another research environment. The students will be hosted by Per
Austrin (http://www.csc.kth.se/~austrin/), Johan Hastad
(http://www.csc.kth.se/~johanh/), and/or Jakob Nordstrom
(http://www.csc.kth.se/~jakobn/), depending on profile and research
interests.
The default set-up would assume that the PhD students receive some kind of
basic salary/support from their home institutions, and that the Theory
Group at KTH covers any extra costs involved with the visit to Stockholm
(travel expenses, accommodation, living expenses, et cetera). Other
arrangements can also be considered. The duration of stay could be from a
couple of months up to a full term.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, but to be considered for the
early spring term it would help to contact us in December. Please send us
an e-mail at visiting-phd@csc.kth.se with a CV and a brief research
statement as attachments, and also include the names of two reference
persons whom we can contact.
Informal inquiries about the visiting PhD positions are welcome and may be
sent to visiting-phd@csc.kth.se.

* About the Book
Research into artificial intelligence (AI) and computational intelligence (CI) started in the 1950s and has been growing ever since. The main focus of the research is to provide computers with the capacity to perform tasks that are believed to require human intelligence. The field is in constant need of good benchmark problems. Games provide a plethora of tough and interesting challenges for AI and CI, including developing artificial players, computationally creative systems that construct game content, agents that adapt to players, and systems that analyse and learn about players from their in-game behaviour.
In May 2012, around 40 world-leading experts convened in Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, to discuss future research directions and important research challenges for AI and CI in games. This book is the follow-up volume to that seminar, which collects the distilled results of the discussions that went on during those May days.
This book consists of 8 chapters. Each chapter is the outcome of a particular discussion group. In editing this volume, we have chosen to arrange the chapters so that they start with the more generic problems and methods and proceed to more specific applications. However, the web of interdependence between work on these topics is dense, with games for mobile platforms relying on pathfinding, general game playing on procedural content generation, procedural content generation on player modelling, etc.

== About the Book ==
Research into artificial intelligence (AI) and computational
intelligence (CI) started in the 1950s and has been growing ever since.
The main focus of the research is to provide computers with the capacity
to perform tasks that are believed to require human intelligence. The
field is in constant need of good benchmark problems. Games provide a
plethora of tough and interesting challenges for AI and CI, including
developing artificial players, computationally creative systems that
construct game content, agents that adapt to players, and systems that
analyse and learn about players from their in-game behaviour.
In May 2012, around 40 world-leading experts convened in Schloss
Dagstuhl, Germany, to discuss future research directions and important
research challenges for AI and CI in games. This book is the follow-up
volume to that seminar, which collects the distilled results of the
discussions that went on during those May days.
This book consists of 8 chapters. Each chapter is the outcome of a
particular discussion group. In editing this volume, we have chosen to
arrange the chapters so that they start with the more generic problems
and methods and proceed to more specific applications. However, the web
of interdependence between work on these topics is dense, with games for
mobile platforms relying on pathfinding, general game playing on
procedural content generation, procedural content generation on player
modelling, etc.

*********************************************************************
2014 TARRAGONA INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL ON TRENDS IN COMPUTING
SSTiC 2014
Tarragona, Spain
July 7-11, 2014
Organized by
Rovira i Virgili University
http://grammars.grlmc.com/sstic2014/
*********************************************************************
AIM:
SSTiC 2014 is the second edition in a series started in 2013. For the
previous event, see http://grammars.grlmc.com/SSTiC2013/
SSTiC 2014 will be a research training event mainly addressed to PhD
students and PhD holders in the first steps of their academic career. It
intends to update them about the most recent developments in the diverse
branches of computer science and its neighbouring areas. To that purpose,
renowned scholars will lecture and will be available for interaction with
the audience.
SSTiC 2014 will cover the whole spectrum of computer science through 5
keynote lectures and 30 six-hour courses dealing with the hottest topics in
the field. The organizers share the idea that outstanding speakers will
really attract high-quality students.
ADDRESSED TO:
Graduate students from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites
in terms of the academic degree the attendee must hold. However, since there
will be several levels in the courses, reference may be made to specific
knowledge background in the description of some of them.
SSTiC 2014 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep
themselves updated on developments in their own field or in other branches
of computer science. They will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss
with scholars who are main references in computing nowadays.
REGIME:
In addition to keynotes, 3 parallel sessions will be held during the whole
event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they will be
willing to attend as well as to move from one to another.
VENUE:
SSTiC 2014 will take place in Tarragona, located 90 kms. to the south of
Barcelona. The venue will be:
