AIMS:
AlCoB aims at promoting and displaying excellent research using string and
graph algorithms and combinatorial optimization to deal with problems in
biological sequence analysis, genome rearrangement, evolutionary trees, and
structure prediction.
The conference will address several of the current challenges in
computational biology by investigating algorithms aimed at: 1) assembling
sequence reads into a complete genome, 2) identifying gene structures in the
genome, 3) recognizing regulatory motifs, 4) aligning nucleotides and
comparing genomes, 5) reconstructing regulatory networks of genes, and 6)
inferring the evolutionary phylogeny of species.
Particular focus will be put on methodology and significant room will be
reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career.
VENUE:
AlCoB 2015 will take place in Mexico City, the oldest capital city in the
Americas and the largest Spanish-speaking city in the world. The venue will
be the main campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
SCOPE:
Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not
limited to:
Exact sequence analysis
Approximate sequence analysis
Pairwise sequence alignment
Multiple sequence alignment
Sequence assembly
Genome rearrangement
Regulatory motif finding
Phylogeny reconstruction
Phylogeny comparison
Structure prediction
Compressive genomics
Proteomics: molecular pathways, interaction networks ...

[DMANET] Call for Abstracts/Participation: EURO 2015 stream on Data Science for Optimisation
Dear Colleague,
The 27th European Conference on Operational Research, EURO 2015
(http://www.euro2015.org/) will take place in Glasgow, on July 12-15th, we
will be organising a stream on
"Data Science for Optimisation".
We invite you to contribute to one of the following sessions within the Data
Science for Optimisation Stream:
- Adaptive Runtime Operator Selection and Hyper-heuristics (invitation code:
2d033f15)
Session Chair: Daniel Karapetyan
- Machine Learning for Improved Heuristic Optimisation (invitation code:
376b1a47)
Session Chair: Shahriar Asta
- Automated Algorithm Configuration and Selection (invitation code:
9d71f2a1)
Session Chair: Kevin Tierney
Please submit your abstract to the appropriate session using the
corresponding invitation code via the abstract submission page:
http://www.euro-online.org/conf/euro27.
The deadline is March 16, 2015.
If you know a colleague who might be interested in submitting an abstract
please feel free to forward this invitation.
The general scope of the stream is the usage of data science methods,
including machine learning and statistics, to improve the effectiveness of
optimisation and metaheuristics, as well as to reduce the time and cost of
producing and maintaining them. The broader aim is to encourage interaction
between optimisation and data science; bringing together researchers and
practitioners from related fields, such as Operational Research (OR),
Artificial Intelligence, Mathematical Sciences and Computer Science.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- heuristics that exploit data science techniques, such as machine learning,
data mining, statistical analysis or analytics
- (automated) parameter tuning/control in (meta)heuristics
- (meta)heuristics to generate (create) heuristics (e.g., generation
hyper-heuristics)
- (meta)heuristics to choose heuristics (e.g., selection hyper-heuristics,
adaptive operator selection)
- self-adaptive (meta)heuristics
- reactive search
- software tools and frameworks
- performance prediction, performance robustness and scalability issues
We hope that you are interested in contributing to the stream. If you have
any questions, or wish to organise a session, then please do not hesitate to
contact us. Apologies, if you have received multiple copies of this
announcement.
Best Wishes
Stream Organisers

http://www.euro-online.org/conf/euro27.
The deadline is March 16, 2015.
If you know a colleague who might be interested in submitting an abstract
please feel free to forward this invitation.
The general scope of the stream is the usage of data science methods,
including machine learning and statistics, to improve the effectiveness of
optimisation and metaheuristics, as well as to reduce the time and cost of
producing and maintaining them. The broader aim is to encourage interaction
between optimisation and data science; bringing together researchers and
practitioners from related fields, such as Operational Research (OR),
Artificial Intelligence, Mathematical Sciences and Computer Science.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- heuristics that exploit data science techniques, such as machine learning,
data mining, statistical analysis or analytics
- (automated) parameter tuning/control in (meta)heuristics
- (meta)heuristics to generate (create) heuristics (e.g., generation
hyper-heuristics)
- (meta)heuristics to choose heuristics (e.g., selection hyper-heuristics,
adaptive operator selection)
- self-adaptive (meta)heuristics
- reactive search
- software tools and frameworks
- performance prediction, performance robustness and scalability issues
We hope that you are interested in contributing to the stream. If you have
any questions, or wish to organise a session, then please do not hesitate to
contact us. Apologies, if you have received multiple copies of this
announcement.
Best Wishes

[DMANET] Second Call for Papers - Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems (SSS 2015)
Call for Papers
*******************************************************************************
17th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety,
and Security of Distributed Systems (SSS 2015)
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
18-21 August 2015
sss15.cs.ualberta.ca
Proceedings to be published as a Springer LNCS Volume.
*******************************************************************************
The Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems is
an international forum for researchers and practitioners working on the design
and development of distributed systems that guarantee specific desired
properties despite adversity, or that are able to restore the desired
properties following adversarial perturbations in the computing medium building
on the principles of self-stabilization.
Research in distributed computing and distributed systems continues its vibrant
development, marked by the importance of dynamic systems, such as peer-to-peer
networks, large-scale wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, mobile
agent computing, opportunistic networks etc. Moreover, new applications such as
grid and web services, banking and e-commerce, e-voting, e-health and robotics,
aerospace and avionics, automotive, industrial process control, have joined the
expanded landscape of distributed systems. It is becoming increasingly
important to endow all such systems with built-in means for self-management,
self-protection, and self-repair.
The symposium encourages the submission of original contributions spanning
fundamental research and practical applications within its scope, covered by
the five symposium tracks:
+ Self-stabilization Track
Track Chair: Joffroy Beauquier, U. Paris-Sud, France
+ Fault-tolerance and Dependability Track

Dear Colleague,
We have the pleasure to invite you to submit a contribution to the stream on:
"ENGINEERING OPTIMIZATION",
that we are organizing within the 27th EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON OPERATION RESEARCH, at
the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, 12-15 July 2015.

OBJECTIVES:
The main goal of the Stream on "Engineering Optimization" is to bring together
engineers, applied mathematicians and computer scientists working on research,
development and practical application of optimization methods applied to all
engineering disciplines or developing basic techniques in this field.
ABOUT ENGINEERING DESIGN OPTIMIZATION:
Modern design techniques seek for the best design to perform the desired tasks.
Engineering Optimization deals with the optimal design of elements and systems in
all
engineering fields.
Nowadays, use of Design Optimization techniques is rapidly growing in most of
engineering disciplines, like automotive, aeronautical, mechanical, civil, nuclear,
naval, mechanical, electrical, energy and off-shore engineering. This is due to the
increase of technological competition and the development of strong and efficient
techniques for several practical applications.
MDO - Multidisciplinary Design Optimization:
Engineering Systems are increasingly complex and represented by large and
sophisticated
numerical models. They involve several interacting disciplines or are made up of
distinct interacting subsystems that must be considered simultaneously to obtain
efficient designs.
Multidisciplinary Design Optimization is devoted to the design of complex systems
involving interacting subsystems or disciplines. The main scientific challenges of
MDO
are concerned with the development of strong and efficient numerical techniques and
with the computational organization required for the necessary coupling of codes
employed in interacting disciplines.
INVERSE PROBLEMS:
Numerical methods for inverse problems in most of cases are based on optimization
techniques similar to those employed in optimal design. This field, applied in all
engineering disciplines, is of utmost importance for EUROPT conference.
ENGINEERING SIMULATION INVOLVING OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES:
Several physical phenomena are naturally represented by an optimization problem.
This
is the case when the "equilibrium" is attained at the minimum of an energy function.
In
several applications, constraints must be satisfied. This is the case of contact
problems is solids mechanics.
BASIC NUMERICAL TECHNIQUES:
Engineering Optimization requires a large set of basic computer tools. This is the
case
of several CAD tools for geometric modeling, engineering analysis methods,
sensitivity
analysis as well as mathematical optimization algorithms.
About Interdisciplinarity in Engineering Optimization:
Modern Engineering Optimization is strongly interdisciplinary in two axes. The need
of
integration of basic and applied techniques and to solve real engineering problems,
requires the cooperation of engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists,
working
on research and practical applications.

The 3rd Workshop on Biological Distributed Algorithms (BDA 2015)
August 18-19, 2015 in Boston, MA USA
http://www.snl.salk.edu/~navlakha/BDA2015/
=======================================================
We are excited to announce the third workshop on Biological
Distributed Algorithms (BDA). BDA is focused on the relationships
between distributed computing and distributed biological systems and
in particular, on analysis and case studies that combine the two. Such
research can lead to better understanding of the behavior of the
biological systems while at the same time developing novel
computational algorithms that can be used to solve distributed
computing problems.
BDA 2015 will include presentations on distributed algorithms related
to a variety of biological systems, with special attention to
communication and coordination in insect colonies (e.g. foraging,
navigation, task allocation, construction) and networks in the brain
(e.g. learning, decision-making, attention).
===========
SUBMISSIONS
===========
We solicit submissions of extended abstracts describing recent results
relevant to biological distributed computing. We especially welcome
extended abstracts describing new insights and / or case studies
regarding the relationship between distributed computing and
biological systems even if these are not fully formed. Since a major
goal of the workshop is to explore new directions and approaches, we
especially encourage the submission of ongoing work. Selected
contributors would be asked to present, discuss and defend their work
at the workshop. Submissions should be in PDF and include title,
author information, and a 4-page extended abstract.
Please use the following EasyChair submission link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bda20150

[DMANET] PhD studentship in Algorithms & Complexity, Uni of Edinburgh
There is the funding for an EU PhD student with an excellent
Mathematical background to study within the Algorithms & Complexity
group at the University of Edinburgh. The proposed research topic
is below (though there is some flexibility with regard to topic).
The deadline is noon on Friday, 6th March. Please contact me
(Mary Cryan) in the first instance.
Measuring, Counting and Sampling in Polytopes
supervisor: Mary Cryan
The project proposes to study some algorithmic and combinatorial
questions regarding a special class of high-dimensional polytopes
called transportation polytopes - we will be interested in the
diameter of these polytopes, the (number of, and shape of) vertices
of the polytopes, and the number of lattice points inside these
polytopes (the lattice points are also known as contingency tables).
In recent years, there has been a bustle of activity concerning the
diameter of general multi-dimensional polytopes - the big result
being Francisco Santos' counterexample disproving the "Hirsch
conjecture". Despite this, the question of the diameter of
special classes of polytopes remains open, and there is a
possibility (for example) that the class of transportation
polytopes does satisfy that conjecture.
Apart from diameter the question of counting/sampling contingency
tables remains open for the general case, and we would plan to spend
some time re-examining that problem. In that case our concern is in
obtaining polynomial-time algorithms. We may alternatively spend
time considering different counting and sampling questions. Our
early results will influence the later direction of the project.

[DMANET] IEEE WoWMoM 2015 Workshop on Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications (AOC) - Abstract Registration Deadline 7th March 2015
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract submission deadline: March 7, 2015
Full manuscript due: March 14, 2015
Acceptance notification: April 20, 2015
---------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Ninth IEEE International Workshop on
Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications
(AOC 2015)
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2015
sponsored by
IEEE Computer Society,
EU FP7 MOTO Project
June 14-17 2015, Boston, MA, USA
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 2015 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 eight 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 2015 will have a primary interest in new directions of
opportunistic communications, such as mobile social networking, autonomous
solutions for smart cities, big data for autonomic and opportunistic systems
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 2015 include, but are not limited to:
- Techniques for data dissemination and replication
- Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms
- Autonomous and self-adaptive systems for smart cities
- Autonomous solutions for IoT and cyber-physical systems
- Big data for autonomic and opportunistic systems
- Mobile social networking algorithms and applications
- Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile wireless
networks
- Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces
- 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
- Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks
- Game-theoretic insights to the operation of 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
- Autonomic and opportunistic solutions for mobile cloud applications
- Applications and middleware support
- Routing, transport, and reliability issues

CALL FOR PAPERS
The Ninth IEEE International Workshop on
Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications
(AOC 2015)
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2015
sponsored by
IEEE Computer Society,
EU FP7 MOTO Project
June 14-17 2015, Boston, MA, USA
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 2015 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 eight 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 2015 will have a primary interest in new directions of
opportunistic communications, such as mobile social networking, autonomous
solutions for smart cities, big data for autonomic and opportunistic systems
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 2015 include, but are not limited to:
- Techniques for data dissemination and replication
- Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms
- Autonomous and self-adaptive systems for smart cities
- Autonomous solutions for IoT and cyber-physical systems
- Big data for autonomic and opportunistic systems
- Mobile social networking algorithms and applications
- Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile wireless
networks
- Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces
- 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
- Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks
- Game-theoretic insights to the operation of 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
- Autonomic and opportunistic solutions for mobile cloud applications
- Applications and middleware support
- Routing, transport, and reliability issues

*Project Title*
Integrated use of methods to prevent conflict and facilitate communication
*Project details*
Cognition and decision-making are key issues for organizations in
periods of institutional change. Data from UK organizations also
indicate a rise in workplace conflict during such periods with negative
consequences for efficiency and productivity and medium term problems in
relation to collaboration to achieve innovation and change-readiness.
This project aims to develop a "network of perception and prevention"
applicable to complex organizations, to understand and underline the
main (stakeholder defined) problems and to propose actions to prevent
conflicts and to facilitate collaboration and communication.
The research design underpinning the project will be action research in
a complex company (e.g. large service provider) and include two phases:
firstly to analyse, define and formulate problem spaces and secondly to
act on them.
In the first phase, problem structuring methods (PSM) and systems
approaches will be used with an integration of actor analysis and
cognitive mapping methods. This phase allows for a structured
description of the problem situation to be presented to the management
of the business school. Concepts that had been acquired by means of
interviews to key actors will be structured and used to allow choices to
be made with regards to suitable and relevant forms of intervention.
In the second phase, the concepts and their relationships will be
transformed into multi-criteria decision models (MCDM) with actions,
criteria and parameters, in order to elaborate possible (re-) solutions
and compare them, and also to identify new aspects and points of views
which will improve the model.

CLUSTER 2015 CALL FOR PAPERS
Following the successes of the series of Cluster conferences, for 2015
we solicit high-quality original papers presenting work that advances
the state-of-the-art in clusters and closely related fields. All
papers will be rigorously peer-reviewed for their originality,
technical depth and correctness, potential impact, relevance to the
conference, and quality of presentation. Research papers must clearly
demonstrate research contributions and novelty, while papers reporting
experience must clearly describe lessons learned and impact, along
with the utility of the approach compared to the ones in the past.
*** Paper Tracks ***
Applications, Algorithms, and Libraries
Architecture, Networks/Communication, and Management
Programming and Systems Software
Data, Storage, and Visualization
*** Submission Guidelines ***
Authors are invited to submit papers electronically in PDF format.
Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may
not exceed 10 letter-size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables
and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings.
Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without
review. Authors should make sure that their file will print on a
printer that uses letter-size (8.5 x 11) paper. The official language
of the conference is English. All manuscripts will be reviewed and
will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength,
significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to
the conference attendees.
Paper submissions are limited to 10 pages in 2-column IEEE format
including all figures and references. Submitted manuscripts exceeding

[DMANET] MATCH-UP 2015: Second Call for Participation
MATCH-UP 2015: the Third International Workshop on Matching Under Preferences
16-18 April 2015
University of Glasgow, UK
http://www.optimalmatching.com/MATCHUP2015
MATCH-UP 2015 is the third workshop in the series of interdisciplinary and
international workshops on matching under preferences. The first in the
series took place in Reykjavik in 2008, whilst the second took place in
Budapest in 2012.
*** The full programme has now been published ***
*** The early registration deadline is 12 March ***
*** We are still accepting submissions for the poster session ***
Background
----------
Matching problems with preferences occur in widespread applications such
as the assignment of school-leavers to universities, junior doctors to
hospitals, students to campus housing, children to schools, kidney
transplant patients to donors and so on. The common thread is that
individuals have preference lists over the possible outcomes and the task
is to find a matching of the participants that is in some sense optimal
with respect to these preferences.
The remit of this workshop is to explore matching problems with
preferences from the perspective of algorithms and complexity, discrete
mathematics, combinatorial optimization, game theory, mechanism design
and economics, and thus a key objective is to bring together the research
communities of the related areas.
List of topics
--------------
The matching problems under consideration include, but are not limited to:
* two-sided matchings involving agents on both sides (e.g. college
admissions, resident allocation, job markets, school choice, etc.)
* two-sided matchings involving agents and items (e.g. house allocation,
course allocation, project allocation, assigning papers to reviewers,
school choice, etc.)
* one-sided matchings (roommates problem, kidney exchanges, etc.)
* matching with payments (assignment game, etc.)
Invited speakers
----------------
* Katarina Cechlarova, Pavol Jozef Safarik University in Kosice
* Christine Cheng, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
* Herve Moulin, University of Glasgow
Programme
---------

Registration
------------
Registration for MATCH-UP 2015 is now open. Registration covers entrance
to the technical sessions, workshop proceedings, coffee breaks, lunches
on Thursday 16 April, Friday 17 April and Saturday 18 April, and the
workshop dinner on Friday 17 April. The early bird registration fees
are £275 for full fee and £200 for students, and the early registration
deadline is 12 March 2015. To register, follow this link:

Poster session
--------------
We are running a poster session at the workshop from 1800-1930 on Thursday
16 April. We are seeking titles and short abstracts of posters to be
presented at this session. Poster abstracts will not be reviewed; we will
simply determine whether they are relevant to the workshop. Relevant
abstracts will be accepted on a first-come first-served until our capacity
is reached. Instructions for submitting poster abstracts can be found here:
http://www.optimalmatching.com/MATCHUP2015/submissions.html. We will
continue to accept poster submissions until shortly before the workshop
(capacity permitting), but in order for abstracts to appear in the workshop
proceedings, they must be received by Monday 2 March.
