concurrency, object-orientation, security, verification and static
analysis. Papers related to the use of declarative paradigms and tools
in industry and education are especially solicited. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to

* Functional programming
* Logic programming
* Answer-set programming
* Functional-logic programming
* Declarative visual languages
* Constraint Handling Rules
* Parallel implementation and concurrency
* Monads, type classes and dependent type systems
* Declarative domain-specific languages
* Termination, resource analysis and the verification of declarative
programs
* Transformation and partial evaluation of declarative languages
* Language extensions for security and tabulation
* Probabilistic modeling in a declarative language and modeling
reactivity
* Memory management and the implementation of declarative systems
* Practical experiences and industrial application

This year the conference will be co-located with the 25th
International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and
Transformation (LOPSTR 2015).

The conference will be held in Siena, Italy. Previous symposia were

has been extended to

12 December 2014

Effective Methods in Algebraic Geometry
University of Trento, Department of Mathematics,
Povo (Trento) Italy
June 15-19, 2015

This is the 25th anniversary of MEGA. During the conference we will
celebrate this anniversary with a special afternoon programme at a small
lake surrounded by the hills near Trento.

Further information: http://mega2015.science.unitn.it/
Submission page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mega2015

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

MEGA is the acronym for Effective Methods in Algebraic Geometry (and
its equivalent in many other languages). This series of biennial
international conferences, with a tradition dating back to 1990, is
devoted to computational and application aspects of Algebraic Geometry
and related topics.

The conference will comprise invited talks, regular contributed talks,
presentations of computations, and a poster session; the latter three
are subject to a competitive submission process.

Invited speakers:

Alessandra Bernardi (University of Turin, Italy)
Petter Brändén (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden)
Elisa Gorla (University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland)
Hans-Christian Graf von Bothmer (University Göttingen, Germany)
Anders Jensen (Aarhus University, Denmark)
Michael Joswig (Technical University of Berlin, Germany)
Frank Sottile (Texas A&M University, USA)
Caroline Uhler (Institute of Science and Technology, Austria)

(Carlos Beltran has had to cancel).

Special invited talk during the special afternoon:

Daniel Lazard (Paris 6) on the history of MEGA and related groups

Important dates:

Deadline for submissions of papers/extended abstracts:
12 December 2014
Notification of acceptance of papers/extended abstracts:
15 February 2015

Deadline for submission of posters/computation presentatations:
15 March 2015
Notification of acceptence of posters/computation presentations:
15 April 2015

Deadline for registration and fee payment: TBD

Submissions: Submissions should contain recent original research
relevant to effective methods in algebraic geometry (in a broad sense),
including their foundations, analysis, complexity, computational
aspects, practical issues and applications. On this occasion we
especially encourage submissions related to finite fields, cryptography
and coding theory, as we would like to have a session specifically
devoted to these topics.

There are three types of submissions, distributed over the two deadlines
above:

- Regular papers: for these, authors can choose to submit
either an extended abstract of at least four pages (not counting
bibliography) that should contain full results, an outline of the proofs
and all of the main ideas; or else a full paper with complete proofs.

- Computation presentations: these can concern new software packages,
but also experiments with (combinations) existing software that have
led to new computational approaches to mathematical proofs/applications
relevant to MEGA. Submission should be in the form of a short paper
describing the software or computations.

- Posters: to be printed on A1, the posters will be exhibited
during most of the conference, and during a poster session the authors
will have the opportunity to discuss their work with the conference
participants.

All submissions should clearly state the contributions and achievements,
with sufficient detail to understand their significance.

Submissions may contain material already submitted elsewhere, but this
fact has to be stated explicitly in the abstract. Acceptance of such
submissions depends on their special significance for the community.

Papers are to be submitted online through the Easy Chair interface,
available at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mega2015

Acceptance of a submitted contribution means acceptance for oral or
poster presentation only. A special issue of a journal is planned to
which authors of accepted original papers will be invited to submit the
full version after the conference. Only original research contributions
will be considered for publication in the journal special issue.

Executive committee: Jan Draisma (Eindhoven, Netherlands, Chair),

[DMANET] CfP (Extension of Submission Deadline) for ICITS 2015 in Lugano (International Conference on Information-theoretic Security)

---------------------------------------------
New Submission Deadline for Conference Track:

November 28, 2014

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

Call for Papers: ICITS 2015
===========================
8th International Conference on Information-theoretic Security (ICITS)
May 2-5, 2015, USI Lugano, Switzerland
www.icits2015.net

This is the eighth in a series of conferences that aims to bring together the leading researchers in the
areas of information theory, quantum information theory, and cryptography. ICITS covers all aspects of
information-theoretic security, from relevant mathematical tools to theoretical modeling to implementation.
Papers on all technical aspects of these topics are solicited for submission. Areas of interest include,
but are not restricted to:

Physical layer security / Multiparty computation / Codes, lattices, & cryptography / Authentication codes /
Randomness extraction / Cryptography from noisy channels / Wiretap channels / Bounded-storage models /
Information-theoretic reductions / Quantum cryptography / Quantum information theory / Nonlocality and
nonsignaling / Key and message rates / Secret sharing / Physical models & assumptions / Network coding
security / Adversarial channel models / Information-theoretic tools in computational settings /
Implementation challenges / Biometric security

== Important Dates ==
- Conference Track Submission Deadline: November 28, 2014
- Workshop Track Submission Deadline: December 5, 2014
- Notification of Decision: January 30, 2015
- Conference: May 2-5, 2015

== Invitited Speakers ==
- Adrian Kent (University of Cambridge, UK)
- Jesper Buus Nielsen (Aarhus University, Denmark)
- Joseph M. Renes (ETH Zurich, Switzerland)
- Daniel Wichs (Northeastern University, USA)
- Andreas Winter (Universitat Autonòma de Barcelona, Spain)

== Two Tracks: Conference and Workshop ==
As the goal of ICITS is to bring together researchers on all aspects of information-theoretic security,
it consists of two tracks with different types of contributed presentations:

- Conference Track (with proceedings): Submissions to this track must be original papers that have not
previously appeared in published form. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and will
appear in the conference proceedings, which will be published by Springer in the LNCS series.

- Workshop Track (no proceedings): To encourage presentation of work from a variety of fields (especially
those where conference publication is unusual or makes journal publication difficult), the committee also
solicits "workshop track" papers. Accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference but will not
appear in the proceedings. Submissions to this track that have previously appeared (or are currently
submitted elsewhere) are acceptable, as long as they first appeared after January 1, 2014. Papers that
describe work in progress are also welcome. We note that the same standards of quality will apply to
conference and workshop papers.

== Conference Organization (General and Program Co-Chairs) ==
- Anja Lehmann (IBM Research Zurich, Switzerland)
- Stefan Wolf (USI Lugano, Switzerland)

== Program Committee ==
- Paulo Barreto (University of Sao Paulo, Brazil)
- Mario Berta (Caltech, USA)
- Anne Broadbent (University of Ottawa, Canada)
- Roger Colbeck (University of York, UK)
- Paolo D'Arco (University of Salerno, Italy)
- Frederic Dupuis (Masaryk University, Czech Republic)
- Stefan Dziembowski (University of Warsaw, Poland)
- Sebastian Faust (EPF Lausanne, Switzerland)
- Omar Fawzi (ENS Lyon, France)
- Peter Gazi (IST, Austria)
- Yuval Ishai (Technion, Israel)
- Anja Lehmann (IBM Research Zurich, Switzerland)
- Keith Martin (Royal Holloway, University of London, UK)
- Prakash Narayan (University of Maryland, USA)
- Anderson Nascimento (University of Washington Tacoma, USA)
- Koji Nuida (AIST, Japan)
- Frederique Oggier (NTU, Singapore)
- Claudio Orlandi (Aarhus University, Denmark)
- Carles Padro (Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Spain)
- Rei Safavi-Naini (University of Calgary, Canada)
- Marco Tomamichel (University of Sidney, Australia)
- Stefan Wolf (USI Lugano, Switzerland)
- Mark Zhandry (Stanford University, USA)

== Instruction for Authors ==
- Conference Track: Submissions must not substantially duplicate work published elsewhere or submitted in
parallel to a journal or any other conference/workshop that has proceedings. The submission must be
anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, or obvious references. The length of the submission must be
at most 12 pages excluding bibliography and appendices. The text must be in a single column format, use at
least 11- point fonts, and have reasonable margins. The submission should begin with a title and a short
abstract. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a
non-specialist reader. Committee members are not required to read appendices; the paper should be
intelligible without them. Submissions should preferably be in PDF format. Instructions on how to submit
will be provided on the web site.

- Workshop Track: Authors may submit a paper published elsewhere or an original manuscript. As with the
conference track, submissions should begin with a title and short abstract followed by an introduction that
summarizes the contributions at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Information about
previous publication, if any, should be indicated on the first page of the submission. Beyond these
guidelines no specific format is required. In particular, (a) papers previously published elsewhere may be
submitted in their published form provided bibliographic information is clearly indicated; (b) short
summaries of works available in other venues or online (on the arXiv or IACR eprint) are acceptable;
(c) original submissions may be left anonymous at the discretion of the authors. (Previously published
submissions cannot be anonymous.)
