[DMANET] 1st Greifswald Phylogenetics Meeting

Attention! Only few slots still available! Due to various requests, even though the deadline for registration and abstract submission has already passed, we will fill additional slots on a first-come, first-serve basis. So if you are interested to attend our meeting or if you know someone who might be, please spread the word!!!

I herewith want to announce the 1st Greifswald Phylogenetics Meeting,
which will be held in Greifswald (north eastern Germany) from the 14th
till the 16th of July 2014.

Registration is now open and the deadline (both for registration as well as for abstract submission) has been postponed due to various requests. There are still a few free slots, so please register asap!

Our conference poster can be found here: http://stubber.math-inf.uni-greifswald.de/~spillner/gpm-2014/poster-gpm-2014.pdf Feel free to print it and forward it to anybody who might be interested! For more details, please visit the conference website:
http://stubber.math-inf.uni-greifswald.de/~spillner/gpm-2014/gpm-2014.html

This meeting will have a particular focus on mathematical (e.g. graph
theoretical, combinatorial, probabilistic and algebraic) aspects of
evolutionary tree or network reconstruction, but it will also bring
together scientists from different disciplines in order to provide the
opportunity of close collaboration.

Scope:

Phylogenetics is an interdisciplinary research area that aims at
reconstructing the evolutionary history of biological systems such
as, for example, collections of species, populations or groups of
bio-molecules. To achieve this, biologists work closely together with
mathematicians and computer scientists. The conference will provide
researchers from all three involved disciplines an opportunity to present
their recent work and exchange ideas.

Location: Greifswald is a beautiful little town located directly at
the Baltic Sea in close proximity to the famous islands Rügen and
Usedom. Greifswald university was founded in 1496 and has therefore a
long tradition and history. Being a former Hanse town, Greifswald is
famous for its historic market square, its cathedral and the museum
harbor. Other famous towns like Stralsund with the Oceaneum or the
world cultural heritage city of Wismar are nearby, as well as the
city of Rostock with its newly established Darwineum. The region is a
holiday region but not too crowded by tourists. In July the weather is
most likely to be great and we hope that if you can come to our meeting,
you will find the time to stay longer and enjoy this unique area. There
is a direct and regular train connection to and from Berlin, and the
nearest international airports are Hamburg and Berlin.

Please note that the meeting starts early on the 14th with one of our
highlight talks and ends in the evening of the 16th with another highlight
talk - so if possible, please plan your stay from the 13th till the 17th
of July.

The registration fee is 150 Euros (100 Euros for students).

Organizers: Mareike Fischer, Andreas Spillner, Martin Haase

Invited speakers: Olaf Bininda-Emonds, Mike Steel, Vince Moulton, Allen Rodrigo

[DMANET] Don't miss the ACM PODC Workshop on Software-Defined Networking

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS:

PODC Workshop on Distributed Software-Defined Networks (DSDN)

http://www.podc.org/podc2014/dsdn14/

July 15, 2014
Paris, France

NEWS

- Confirmed Invited Speakers: Nate Foster (Cornell University,
USA), Marco Canini (UC Louvain, Belgium), Yehuda Afek (TAU, Israel)

OVERVIEW

The Workshop on Distributed Software-Defined Networks (DSDN) is a forum to
discuss new algorithmic and distributed computing challenges offered by the
emerging field of
Software Defined Networking (SDN). SDN abstracts the cumbersome task of
computer network management to a distinct control plane with a standard
programming interface.
Distributed implementations of the control plane give rise to new and
interesting concurrency scenarios to be addressed by the distributed
computing community.

DETAILS

The workshop is going to take place on 15 July in Paris, France, co-located
with PODC 2014.

The program will combine peer-reviewed presentations (around 30min) with
invited talks (between 30 and 60 min), both from researchers in the field of
distributed
computing as well as from researchers in the field of networking. As such,
the goal of the DSDN workshop is to provide a forum where the distributed
computing and
networking communities can meet and learn from their respective fields.

SUBMISSIONS

Submissions (in PDF) are done by email to
petr.kuznetsov@telecom-paristech.fr and stefan.schmid@tu-berlin.de, and
should briefly (in 1-2 pages) describe the content of
the presentation. The abstracts will appear on the DSDN website, but will
not be included in the PODC proceedings.

The presentations can report on and summarize previous work, present early
new results or put forward new and outrageous ideas.

SCHEDULE

• Submission deadline: May 30, 2014
• Notification: June 10, 2014

[DMANET] CfP: PPSN workshop on Semantic Methods in Genetic Programming: Deadline May 31st

------------------------------------------------------------------
Semantic Methods in Genetic Programming
A workshop at 13th International Conference on
Parallel Problem Solving from Nature
September 13-17, 2014, Ljubljana, Slovenia, Jožef Stefan Institute
http://www.cs.put.poznan.pl/kkrawiec/smgp2014/
------------------------------------------------------------------

Call for Papers

There's *just over one month left* (31 May 2014) to get your extended
abstracts (max 2 pages) ready for the Semantic Methods in Genetic
Programming Workshop to be held at PPSN in September.

In the last few years a rising topic in GP has been the use of semantic
methods. The aim of this is to provide a way of exploring the
input-output behaviour of programs, which is ultimately what matters for
problem solving. This contrasts with much previous work in GP, where
operators transform the program code and the effect on program behaviour
is indirect. This new approach has produced substantially better results
on a number of problems, both benchmark problems and real-world
applications in areas such as pharmacy; and, has been grounded in a body
of theory, which also informs algorithm design.

The main goal of the workshop is to foster discussions rather than
present finished work. In tradition with the PPSN workshops, the
extended abstracts are not published in the conference proceedings.
However, the organisers will make both abstracts and slides available
online on the workshop webpage. The workshop is associated with a
Special Issue of Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines Journal by
Springer, and provides an opportunity to have an open discussion and
receive feedback in preparation for submission to that special issue.

Scope: All aspects of research related to semantic aspects in GP will be
considered, including:
- analysis and design of GP algorithms involving phenotypes/behaviours
of programs,
- design of problem-specific semantic-aware representations and operators,
- the use of formal semantic-related methods in GP.

This is an ideal opportunity to get some feedback on work in progress,
which you might be considering to submit to the Special Issue of Genetic
Programming & Evolvable Machines on Semantic Methods in GP. Please note
the submission deadline of 19 December 2014 for journal articles.

[DMANET] Final Call: PSD 2014 (PRIVACY IN STATISTICAL DATABASES), DEADLINE APPROACHING (May 11), LNCS proceedings, Eivissa, Balearic Islands, September 2014

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message]

PRIVACY IN STATISTICAL DATABASES 2014 (PSD 2014)
================================================

***FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS: HARD SUBMISSION DEADLINE MAY 11, 2014***

Eivissa, Balearic Islands, Sep. 17-19, 2014

http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2014

1. AIMS AND GOALS
-----------------

Privacy in statistical databases is about finding tradeoffs to the
tension between the increasing societal and economical demand for
accurate information and the legal and ethical obligation to protect
the privacy of individuals and enterprises which are the respondents
providing the statistical data. In the case of statistical databases,
the motivation for respondent privacy is one of survival: statistical
agencies or survey institutes cannot expect to collect accurate
information from individual or corporate respondents unless these feel
the privacy of their responses is guaranteed.

Beyond respondent privacy, there are two additional privacy dimensions
to be considered: privacy for the data owners (organizations owning or
gathering the data, who would not like to share the data they have
collected at great expense) and privacy for the users (those who
submit queries to the database and would like their analyses to stay
private).

"Privacy in Statistical Databases 2014" (PSD 2014) is a conference
sponsored and organized by the UNESCO Chair in Data Privacy
(http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat) with proceedings published by
Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer Science. It purpose is to
attract world-wide, high-level research in statistical database
privacy.

PSD 2014 is a successor to PSD 2012 (Palermo, Sep. 26-28, 2012,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2012), PSD 2010 (Corfu, Sep.
22-24, 2010, http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2010), PSD 2008
(Istanbul, Sep. 24-26, 2008,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2008), PSD 2006 (Rome, Dec.
13-15, 2006, http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2006) and PSD 2004
(Barcelona, June 9-11, 2004, http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2004), all
with proceedings published by Springer in LNCS 7556, LNCS 6344, LNCS
5262, LNCS 4302 and LNCS 3050, respectively. Those six PSD conferences
follow a tradition of high-quality technical conferences on SDC which
started with "Statistical Data Protection-SDP'98", held in Lisbon in
1998 and with proceedings published by OPOCE, and continued with the
AMRADS project SDC Workshop, held in Luxemburg in 2001 and with
proceedings published in Springer LNCS 2316.

Like the aforementioned preceding conferences, PSD 2014 originates in
Europe, but wishes to stay a worldwide event in database privacy and
SDC. Thus, contributions and attendees from overseas are welcome.

[DMANET] IEEE SSCI Special Session on Optimization Methods in Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (OMBB)

Special Session on Optimization Methods in Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (OMBB)
2014 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (IEEE SSCI 2014)
December 9-12, 2014, Orlando, Florida, USA
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucberal/SS-OMBB-IEEE_SSCI_2014.html

Submission deadline: 15 June 2014
Submission site: http://ieee-cis.org/conferences/ssci2014/upload.php

Aim and Scope

Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BB) are interdisciplinary scientific fields involving many branches of computer science, engineering, mathematics, and statistics. Bioinformatics is concerned with the development and application of computational methods for the modelling, retrieving and analysis of biological data, whilst Bioengineering is the application of engineering techniques to biology so as to create usable and economically viable products.

Bioinformatics and Bioengineering are relatively new fields in which challenges and issues can often be formulated as optimization problems subject to multiple conflicting objectives. Such multiobjective optimization problems span from traditional problems, such as the optimization of biochemical processes, protein structure alignment and prediction, to more modern problems, such as directed evolution, drug design, experimental design, and optimization of manufacturing processes, material and equipment.

The main aim of this special session, which is organized within the SSCI-MCDM'14 Symposium, is to bring together both experts and new-comers working on Optimization Methods in Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (OMBB) to discuss new and exciting issues in this area.

Topics of Interest

We encourage submission of papers describing new concepts, strategies and challenges in the area of Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BB). In addition, we are interested in application papers discussing the power and applicability of these novel methods to real-world problems in BB. You are invited to submit papers that are unpublished original work for this special session at SSCI-MCDM'14.

The topics are, but not limited to, the following

* Optimization methods for BB problems
* Novel optimization problems in BB
* Emerging non-standard problem challenges in BB problems (e.g. missing objective values, resourcing issues, dynamic changes, many objectives, large-scale, mixed-typed variables, etc.)
* Closed-loop optimization in BB
* Interactive multiobjective optimization in BB
* Predictive fitness landscape design for BB problems
* Integrating user preferences into multiobjective optimization of BB problems
* Handling practicalities in BB problems, such as uncertainty, noise, constraints, fixed budget of evaluations, high computational costs, etc.
* Robustness in the optimization of BB problems
* Visualization techniques for complex BB problems
* Adaptation, learning, and anticipation in BB problems

Submission Instructions

We welcome original contributions describing ongoing projects or completed work.
The instructions for authors, and LaTeX and Word templates can be found at http://www.ieee-ssci.org/submission.html

G.M. Adelson-Velsky passed away

Dear colleagues,

With a great sorrow I am informing you that Georgii Maksimovich (Gera, Giora) Adelson-Velsky passed away yesterday, at age 92.

Gera was a legendary founder of two famous Soviet Computer Science schools: in algorithms and data structures and in chess programming, which both arose before the term of Computer Science.

His AVL-trees (joint with E.M. Landis) were one of the very first, precedental examples of a dynamic data structure. His entire approach to effective algorithms was based on the amortized analysis of their running time, which was realized in the West many years later. His fascinating teaching educated the authors of such famous works as the Four Russian algorithm, the sorting algorithm using no working memory, network flow algorithms, graph isomorphism theory and algorithms, bio-informatic algorithms, and others. His approach was so far ahead the current view to algorithms in the West that some algorithms of him and of his Soviet followers were hardly understood in the West at the time of their publication.

Gera, together with A.L. Brudno, originated the game programming theory in the USSR, simultaneously with the West. The Soviet Kaissa chess program project (lead by him jointly with V.L. Arlazarov and M.V.Donskoy) produced the first world champion among chess programs.

His students (formal and informal) were A. Arlazarov, Y. Dinitz (E. Dinic), M. Donksoy, I. Faradjev, A. Karzanov, M. Kronrod, A. Leman, P. Pevzner, B. Weisfeller, and others.

G.M. Adelson-Velsky will remain in the history of Computer Science as one of its fathers.

Sincerely,

    Yefim Dinitz, a student of Gera since 1968

[DMANET] ECAI-14 Workshop and Tutorial on Metalearning & Algorithm Selection

MetaSel - Meta-learning & Algorithm Selection
*********************************************
ECAI-2014 Workshop, Prague,
19 August 2014
http://metasel2014.inescporto.pt/

2nd Announcement & Call for Papers

Objectives
This ECAI-2014 workshop will provide a platform for discussing the
nature of algorithm selection which arises in many diverse domains,
such as machine learning, data mining, optimization and satisfiability
solving, among many others.

Algorithm Selection and configuration are increasingly relevant today.
Researchers and practitioners from all branches of science and
technology face a large choice of parameterized machine learning
algorithms, with little guidance as to which techniques to use.
Moreover, data mining challenges frequently remind us that algorithm
selection and configuration are crucial in order to achieve the best
performance, and drive industrial applications.

Meta-learning leverages knowledge of past algorithm applications to
select the best techniques for future applications, and offers
effective techniques that are superior to humans both in terms of the
end result and especially in the time required to achieve it. In this
workshop we will discuss different ways of exploiting meta-learning
techniques to identify the potentially best algorithm(s) for a new
task, based on meta-level information and prior experiments. We also
discuss the prerequisites for effective meta-learning systems such as
recent infrastructure such as OpenML.org.

Many problems of today require that solutions be elaborated in the
form of complex systems or workflows which include many different
processes or operations. Constructing such complex systems or
workflows requires extensive expertise, and could be greatly
facilitated by leveraging planning, meta-learning and intelligent
system design. This task is inherently interdisciplinary, as it builds
on expertise in various areas of AI.

The workshop will include invited talks, presentations of
peer-reviewed papers and panels. The invited talks will be by Lars
Kotthoff and Frank Hutter (to be confirmed).

The target audience of this workshop includes researchers (Ph.D.'s)
and research students interested to exchange their knowledge about:
- problems and solutions of algorithm selection and algorithm configuration
- how to use software and platforms to select algorithms in practice
- how to provide advice to end users about which algorithms to
select in diverse domains, including optimization, SAT etc. and
incorporate this knowledge in new platforms.

We specifically aim to attract researchers in diverse areas that have
encountered the problem of algorithm selection and thus promote
exchange of ideas and possible collaborations.

guidance as to which techniques to use. Moreover, data mining
challenges frequently remind us that algorithm selection and
configuration are crucial in order to achieve the best performance and
drive industrial applications.

Meta-learning leverages knowledge of past algorithm applications to
select the best techniques for future applications, and offers
effective techniques that are superior to humans both in terms of the
end result and especially in a limited time.
In this tutorial, we elucidate the nature of algorithm selection and
how it arises in many diverse domains, such as machine learning, data
mining, optimization and SAT solving. We show that it is possible to
use meta-learning techniques to identify the potentially best
algorithm(s) for a new task, based on meta-level information and prior
experiments. We also discuss the prerequisites for effective
meta-learning systems, and how recent infrastructures, such as
OpenML.org, allow us to build systems that effectively advice users on
which algorithms to apply.

The intended audience includes researchers (Ph.D.'s), research
students and practitioners interested to learn about, or consolidate
their knowledge about the state-of-the-art in algorithm selection and
algorithm configuration, how to use Data Mining software and platforms
to select algorithms in practice, how to provide advice to end users
about which algorithms to select in diverse domains, including
optimization, SAT etc. and incorporate this knowledge in new
platforms. The participants should bring their own laptops
