[DMANET] Extended Deadline: MCDA Journal - Special Issue

Dear all,

=== Apologies for cross-posting ===

The Special Issue on "Understanding Complexity in Multiobjective
Optimization"
Guest Editors: Salvatore Greco, Kathrin Klamroth, Joshua Knowles, Günter
Rudolph

has extended the submission deadline to _31 October 2015_

Many thanks and best regards,

Details:

Special Issue on "Understanding Complexity in Multiobjective Optimization"
Guest Editors: Salvatore Greco, Kathrin Klamroth, Joshua Knowles, Günter
Rudolph

This special issue of JMCDA is devoted to further strengthen the links
between the Evolutionary
Multiobjective Optimization (EMO) and Multiple Criteria Decision Making
(MCDM) communities, and to
advance our understanding of different aspects concerning complexity in
multiobjective optimization.

The need for a better understanding of complexity is pressing and timely as
recent work has sometimes
shown opposing views regarding how problems scale and grow in difficulty,
and their inherent
challenges. On the one hand, we know that multiobjective optimization
problems are complex problems
by their very nature. For example optimization problems that are easy to
solve in the single objective case are often
intractable and highly complex already in the biobjective case, and
further fundamental limitations in multiobjective optimization are apparent
as we scale up to many objectives.
On the other hand, a multiobjective perspective can in a sense also help
reduce complexity. For example,
it often leads to a better understanding of a problem and hence supports
the decision making process.
And adding objectives to a problem does not always make it harder, because
decomposing it can
reduce the presence of local optima, for example. From the MCDM point of
view, we observe that
there is an intrinsic complexity in the process of
understanding the optimization problem and building preferences on the
solutions proposed by the
multiobjective optimization. At the beginning of the decision process the
Decision Maker (DM) has a
rather vague idea of the decision problem at hand and, consequently, also
the preferences are
incomplete, approximate, uncertain or fuzzy.

Taking into account the above remarks, complexity in multiobjective
optimization, as the main theme of the special
issue, will be focused around three topics:

Focus 1: Complexity in preference
This topic is mainly concerned with elicitation, representation and
exploitation of the preference of one
or more users, for example: discovering and building preferences that are
dynamic and unstable, group
preference, complex structure of criteria, non-standard preferences,
learning in multiobjective
optimization.

Focus 2: Complexity in optimization
This topic is mainly concerned with the generation of alternative candidate
solutions, given some set of
objective functions and feasible space. The following topics are examples
for the wide range of issues in
this context: high-dimensional problems, complex optimization problems,
simulation-based optimization
and expensive functions, uncertainty and robustness, interrelating decision
and objective space
information.

Focus 3: Complexity in applications
An all-embracing goal is to achieve a better understanding of complexity in
practical problems. Many
fields in the Social Sciences, Economics, Engineering Sciences are
relevant: E-government, Finance,
Environmental Assessment, E-commerce, Public Policy Evaluation, Risk
Management and Security issues
are among the possible application areas.

These three topics will provide a strong basis for progress in both the
theory and practice of handling
complexity in multiobjective optimization in all its guises.

Submissions are now invited for this special issue, which will be subject
to the standard review processes
of the journal. Contributions should be submitted online at
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/mcda,
making sure that the box asking whether the submission is for special issue
is checked, and that
"understanding complexity in multiobjective optimization" is entered into
the appropriate field.

The final date for submissions is XX31XXJulyXX now 31 October 2015.

[DMANET] Postdoc position on Theory of Evolutionary Computation and Population Genetics

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield is
offering a Postdoc position on Theory of Evolutionary Computation and
Population Genetics

A Research Assistant or Research Fellow position is available to work on
analysing the efficiency of evolutionary processes in evolutionary
algorithms and models of natural evolution. The position is part of SAGE
(Speed of Adaptation in Population Genetics and Evolutionary Algorithms,
http://www.project-sage.eu/), an interdisciplinary European project in
the Future and Emerging Technologies scheme. This is a fixed term post,
starting Sep 1st 2015 (negotiable) and ending on Dec 31st 2016. It is
based in the Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield,
and reports to Dr Dirk Sudholt.

SAGE is a joint effort between four European research
institutions--University of Nottingham, University of Sheffield, Hasso
Plattner Institute Potsdam, and IST Austria--to develop world-leading
research at the interface between Population Genetics and Computer
Science. Specifically, SAGE aims at bringing together these two research
fields to develop a unified quantitative theory that describes how
quickly populations adapt to evolve high-fitness individuals in both
natural and artificial evolution. Our goal is to reveal how this
efficiency is fundamentally determined by evolutionary and environmental
parameters, and how these parameters can be tuned to use evolution most
effectively in applications ranging from evolutionary algorithms to
experimental evolution and synthetic biology. The successful candidate
will join a growing team of young and ambitious researchers that has
already made excellent progress towards achieving these goals.

Applications are invited from highly skilled researchers in Computer
Science, Mathematics, Physics, Theoretical Biology or related areas (at
the interface between computer science and biology). A good
understanding of evolutionary computation and/or population genetics
will be an advantage. In addition, strong mathematical and analytical
skills are essential. The applicants must have (or be very close to
completing) a PhD in Computer Science, Biology, Mathematics, Physics or
related disciplines.

The post is available at Grade 7 (Research Associate, £29,552-£37,394
per annum) or Grade 8 (Research Fellow, £38,511-£40,847 per annum),
depending on experience.

Further details and an online application form are available from
https://t.co/1DL71Fo2Ia
Applicants need to apply through the above online system before August
26, 2015.

Please send informal enquiries to Dirk Sudholt, d.sudholt@sheffield.ac.uk.

Series on Adhoc and Sensor Networks

The IEEE Communications Magazine announces for the 10th Anniversary of the Series on Adhoc and Sensor Networks, a Feature Topic on Social and Mobile Solutions in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking.

The Series on Adhoc and Sensor Networks of the IEEE Communications Magazine intends to provide the latest developments in this very rich and exciting domain. The Series explores in depth the concept of ad hoc and sensor networking, highlighting the recent research achievements in the field, and also providing insight into theoretical and practical issues related to the development of these networks from different perspectives. This series offers a relevant forum for both academic and industrial research, covering, at the same time, the theory, the practice and the state of the art of ad hoc and sensor networking.

The special focus of this FT aims to explore the ad hoc and sensor networks research and development related to social and mobile solutions: communications, applications, algorithms and systems as well as services and computing. Thus, we are interested in articles that involve people, networked sensors, mobile phones and/or sensing context, how they interact and how they perform.
Both original research and review papers are welcome. Possible topics of social and mobile solutions in ad hoc and sensor networking include but are not limited to:

- Architectures and design
- Social and Mobile Systems
- Communication issues
- Pervasive computing
- Human Mobility
- Analysis, simulation, and measurement
- Real Experiments Campaign
- Social and Mobile Applications
- Mobile Phone Sensing
- Social and economic aspects

This list is not exhaustive; submissions related to new and interesting ideas relating broadly to Social and Mobile Solutions in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking are encouraged.

IEEE Communications Magazine is read by tens of thousands of Communications Society members. The papers will also be available on the internet through Communications Magazine Interactive, the WWW edition of the magazine.

23rd International Symposium on
Graph Drawing and Network Visualization

September 24-26, 2015 - Los Angeles, CA, USA
http://www.csun.edu/gd2015/

===========================================================================

Graph Drawing is concerned with the geometric representation of graphs and
constitutes the algorithmic core of Network Visualization. Graph Drawing and
Network Visualization are motivated by applications where it is crucial to
visually analyze and interact with relational datasets. Examples of such
application areas include social sciences, Internet and Web computing,
information systems, computational biology, networking, VLSI circuit
design,
and software engineering.

The International Symposium on Graph Drawing has been the main annual event
in this area for more than twenty years. This year the Steering
Committee of
GD decided to extend the name of the conference from the "International
Symposium on Graph Drawing" to the "International Symposium on Graph
Drawing
and Network Visualization" in order to better emphasize the dual focus of
the conference on combinatorial and algorithmic aspects as well as the
design
of network visualization systems and interfaces.

The conference will be hosted by the California State University at
Northridge,
in Los Angeles, CA, from September 24 to 26, 2015. Researchers and
practitioners
working on any aspect of graph drawing and network visualization are
invited to
participate in the symposium and the graph drawing contest.
