[DMANET] CiE 2016: Pursuit of the Universal - 1st CfP - Paris, 27/6-1/7/2016

1st CALL FOR PAPERS:

COMPUTABILITY IN EUROPE 2016: Pursuit of the Universal
Paris, France
June 27 - July 1st, 2016
http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/CIE2016/

IMPORTANT DATES:

Submission deadline for contributed papers: December 15, 2015
Notification of authors: March 3, 2016
Deadline for final revisions: March 31, 2016


CiE 2016 is the twelfth conference organized by CiE (Computability in
Europe), a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer
scientists, philosophers, physicists and others interested in new
developments in computability and their underlying significance for the
real world. Previous meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005),
Swansea (2006), Siena (2007), Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponte
Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011), Cambridge (2012), Milan (2013), Budapest (2014)
and Bucharest (2015).

CiE 2016's Motto is: "Pursuit of the Universal". The year 2016 brings
the eightieth anniversary of the publication of Alan Turing's seminal paper
featuring the Universal Turing Machine. Just as the semantics of the machine
gave rise to Incomputability, and pointed to future directions in proof theory,
AI, generalised computability, the underlying role of typed information and
natural language, and the computability and definability underpinning
bioinformatics: so our conference subtitle honours Turing's role in anticipating
the quest for universal computational frameworks across a wide spectrum of
scientific and humanist disciplines.

[DMANET] Call for papers: International Workshop on Security, Trust, Privacy and Analytics (STPA 2016)

**********************************************************************************************
STPA 2016 - International Workshop on Security, Trust, Privacy and Analytics
https://sites.google.com/site/stpa2016/

in conjunction with The 30th IEEE International Conference on
Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-2016)

Le Régent Congress Centre, Crans-Montana, Switzerland,
March 23 - 25, 2016
**********************************************************************************************

Objective

Security and privacy are important aspects of computer and communications
systems. With the advent of IoT and big data, analytics has become very
important. The workshop stands at the confluence of security and privacy
and data analytics. This workshop provides a forum for presentations of
papers on these and related topics. Different from main conference, this
workshop can be a platform to report results with shorter turn-around time
and work in progress. In particular, students can present their papers in
the workshop while attending the main conference.

There are two goals of the workshop: Privacy-preserving analytics and
analytics for security. With the growing focus on big data and Internet of
Things (IoT), analytics has become all the more important. A lot of
information is being collected and analyzed, such as health-care data, data
from social networks. These data are sensitive and needs to be protected
from intrusion and misuse. Data is often stored in untrusted cloud servers.
Users want to be sure that their data is not leaked or used elsewhere
inappropriately. Privacy and analytics seem to be contradictory goals
unless done in a systematic way. Privacy-preserving analytics is what is
desired. Fortunately, in recent years there has been a thrust on this area
and a number of tools and techniques have been developed. K-anonymity,
Differential privacy are being widely studied. Secure and privacy
preserving computations on untrusted servers are active areas of research.

The other focus of this workshop is to use analytics for security.
Cybersecurity is a challenging and important area of research. Threats have
multiplied and have become more complex in the last few years. Security
breaches have been reported on many financial networks, social networks and
defence systems. Detection of malware, anomaly detection, network traffic
analysis, fraud detection, graph-based user behavior modeling and profiling
has become ever more important to protect individuals and companies.
Machine learning and analytics are essential tools for many of these
security problems.

The aim of this workshop is to discuss about the synergy between analytics,
security and privacy. STPA 2016 is an international forum for researchers,
developers, and practitioners to demonstrate new ideas, techniques, and
tools on security and privacy-preserving analytics and analytics for
security. The workshop welcomes academia, government, industry, and
contributing individuals to submit unpublished papers in theoretical and
practical aspects of security, privacy and analytics.

Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Privacy preserving data mining
Differential Privacy
Anonymous Credentials
Homomorphic Encryption
Searchable Encryption
Verifiable Computation
Secure Multiparty Computation
Big data analytics for security
Malware detection
Anomaly detection
Intrusion detection
Fraud detection
Behavior analysis and profiling
Trust Management and quantification
K-anonymity/L-diversity
Big Data applications (e.g., life sciences, health informatics,
geo-informatics, socio-cultural dynamics, business analytics, cybersecurity)
Secure graph analytics
Scalable tools, techniques and technologies for Big Data analytics
Streaming data analysis
Graph-Based User Behavior Modeling

Important Dates

Submission Deadline: November 6, 2015
Authors Notification: December 20, 2015

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

NEW PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 30, 2015

The International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics (ISAIM) is a biennial meeting that fosters interactions between mathematics, theoretical computer science, and artificial intelligence. ISAIM 2016 is the fourteenth Symposium in the series, which is sponsored by the journal Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence and by Florida Atlantic University.

We seek submissions of recent results, with a particular emphasis on the foundations of AI and mathematical methods used in AI. Papers describing applications are also encouraged, but the focus should be on principled lessons learned from the development of the application. Traditionally, the Symposium attracts participants from a variety of disciplines, thereby providing a unique forum for scientific exchange. The three-day Symposium includes invited speakers, presentations of technical papers, and special topic sessions.

Work that has already been published as of the ISAIM submission deadline should not be submitted to ISAIM unless it introduces a significant addition to the previously published work. However, the ISAIM web site proceedings are not archival, so papers submitted to ISAIM can be under review at the time of submission and can be submitted elsewhere after ISAIM.

Authors of a selected set of papers from the Symposium will be invited to submit full versions of their papers for inclusion in a special volume of the Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, published by Springer. Those invited submissions will be subject to refereeing at the usual standards of the journal, and authors will receive more details with the acceptance notice. Papers must of course be new and unpublished to be considered for the special volume.


PAPER FORMATTING:

Papers should be submitted in PDF and formatted in AAAI format, removing the AAAI copyright note.

To remove the AAAI copyright note, put the line \nocopyright in your .tex file anywhere in the preamble after the line \usepackage{aaai}.

The AAAI LaTeX files aaai.sty and aaai.bst are available from the AAAI Author's Instructions page http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php

For other AAAI style files please refer to the sections on "Templates" and "LaTeX Macros and Instructions" of AAAI's Author's Instructions page (do not forget to change the copyright restriction to your own name).


AUTHORSHIP:

Authors should list their names on their papers: the review process is not double blind.


LENGTH:

Papers submitted to review must not exceed six (6) pages, not counting bibliography. Final versions of accepted papers must not exceed eight (8) pages, not counting the bibliography.


HOW TO SUBMIT A PAPER:

To submit a paper, please go to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isaim2016

Any questions regarding paper submission should be sent to the program committee chairs (Francesca Rossi and Kristen Brent Venable) at the email address isaim2016@wave.tulane.edu


IMPORTANT DATES:

[DMANET] SWAT 2016: Call for Papers

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

SWAT 2016 - Call for Papers

15th Scandinavian Symposium and Workshops on Algorithm Theory
June 22-24, 2016, Reykjavik, Iceland

========================================================================
Submission deadline: Feb 14, 2016
http://swat16.ru.is/
========================================================================

SCOPE

The symposium, which alternates with the Algorithms and Data Structures
Symposium (WADS), is a forum for researchers in the area of design and
analysis of algorithms and data structures. We invite submissions of
papers presenting original research on algorithms and data structures.
Though we welcome experiments, the theoretical results in the articles
will be the main measure for evaluating their merits. Algorithmic
approaches of interest include, but are not limited to: approximation
algorithms, parametrized algorithms, distributed algorithms, parallel
algorithms, external-memory algorithms, data structures, exponential
time algorithms, online algorithms, randomized algorithms, streaming
algorithms, sub-linear algorithms. The algorithmic problems considered
may be motivated by applications, e.g. in optimization, geometry and
topology, graph analysis, bioinformatics, visualization, string
processing, information retrieval, machine learning, algorithmic game
theory, or mechanism design.


SUBMISSIONS

Contributors must submit their papers using the Easychair system.
Submissions should be in LIPIcs format (without font size, margin, or
line spacing changes), and not exceed 12 pages including front page and
references. See
www.dagstuhl.de/publikationen/lipics/anleitung-fuer-autoren/
for instructions. Additionally, if full details of proofs do not fit
into the page limit, a clearly marked appendix containing the remaining
details must be included; this appendix will not be regarded as part of
the submission and will be considered only at the discretion of the
program committee. Submissions deviating substantially from this format
risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously
unpublished work. At the time the paper is submitted to the symposium,
and for the entire review period, the paper (or essentially the same
paper) must not be under review by any other conference with published
proceedings or by a scientific journal. However, we encourage authors to
make a preprint of their paper available at a public repository such as
arXiv. At least one author of every accepted paper is expected to register
and present the paper at the symposium. Symposium proceedings will be
published in the "Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics"
(LIPIcs) series.

[DMANET] 2nd CFP - 15th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2016) - Singpapore

15th International Conference on
Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2016)

Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel
Singapore
9-13th of May, 2016

Important Dates
---------------
Abstract Submission: 13th of November, 2015 (23:59 UTC-12)
Full Paper Submission: 17th of November, 2015 (23:59 UTC-12)
Rebuttal Phase: 11-12th of January, 2016 (23:59 UTC-12)
Author Notification: 26th of January, 2016

About AAMAS
-----------
AAMAS is the leading scientific conference for research in autonomous agents and multiagent systems. The AAMAS conference series was initiated in 2002 by merging three highly respected meetings: the International Conference on Multi-Agent Systems (ICMAS); the International Workshop on Agent Theories, Architectures, and Languages (ATAL); and the International Conference on Autonomous Agents (AA). The aim of the joint conference is to provide a single, high-profile, internationally respected archival forum for scientific research in the theory and practice of autonomous agents and multiagent systems.

Information for Authors
-----------------------
AAMAS 2016 encourages the submission of analytical, empirical, methodological, technological, and perspective papers. Analytical and empirical papers should make clear the significance and relevance of their results to the AAMAS community. Similarly, methodological and technological papers should make clear their scientific and technical contributions, and are expected to demonstrate a thorough evaluation of their strengths and weaknesses in practice. It is strongly encouraged that papers focusing on specific agent capabilities evaluate their techniques in the context of autonomous agent architectures or multiagent systems. A thorough evaluation, conducted from a theoretical or applied basis, is considered an essential component of any submission. Authors are also requested to pay particular attention to discussing how their work relates to the state of the art in autonomous agents and multiagent systems research as evidenced in, for example, previous AAMAS and related conferences. All submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed and evaluated on the basis of the overall quality of their technical contribution, including criteria such as originality, soundness, relevance, significance, quality of presentation, and understanding of the state of the art.

AAMAS 2016, the fifteenth conference in the AAMAS series, seeks the submission of high-quality papers limited to 8 pages in length, with a 9th page being allowed *provided it only contains bibliographic references*. Reviews will be double blind; authors must avoid including anything in their papers that can be used to identify them. Please note that submitting an abstract is required to submit a full paper. However, the abstracts will not be reviewed and full (8-page) papers must be submitted for the review process to begin. All work must be original, i.e., it must not have appeared in a conference proceedings, book, or journal and may not be under review for another archival conference. In addition to submissions in the main track, AAMAS 2016 will be soliciting papers in special tracks. The review process for the special tracks will be similar to the main track, but with programme committee members specially selected for each track. All accepted papers for the special tracks will be included in the proceedings.

Special Tracks
--------------

In addition to the above, AAMAS 2016 will feature the following four special tracks and a JAAMAS Track.

* Innovative Applications (Chairs: Onn Shehory and Noa Agmon) Due to the growing maturity of the field, there are now agent-based applications in widespread use across many domains, responsible for the generation of significant revenues, or the saving of major costs, or for supporting important public policy and business strategy decision-making. This special track provides the ideal forum to present, discuss, and demonstrate compelling applications, agent system deployment experiences, and new business ideas. The goal is to promote the fostering of mutually-beneficial relationships between those doing foundational scientific research and those making autonomous agents and multiagent systems a commercial or public policy reality.


* Robotics (Chairs: Francesco Amigoni and Roderich Gross) Papers that advance theory and applications of single and multiple robots are welcome, specifically those focusing on real robots that interact with their environment. Papers should clearly explain how the work addresses challenges in robotics, opportunities for novel applications, and fundamental research issues in autonomous robotic systems. The goal is to demonstrate the synergy achieved from integration of research in agents and robotics.

* Embodied Virtual Agents and Human-Agent Interaction
(Chairs: Tim Bickmore and Hannes Vilhjálmsson) Virtual agents are embodied agents that emulate autonomous human-like behavior in simulated interactive or physical environments. We encourage papers on the design, implementation, and evaluation of virtual agents as well as challenging applications featuring them. Of particular interest are papers addressing how humans interact with virtual agents. The goal is to provide an opportunity for continued interaction and cross-fertilization between the AAMAS community and researchers working on virtual agents and to strengthen links between the two communities.

* Blue Sky Ideas (Chair: Frank Dignum)
The emphasis of this track is on visionary ideas, long-term challenges, and new research opportunities that are outside the current mainstream of the field. This track is designed to overcome the constraints of the traditional review process, and will serve as an incubator for innovative approaches, risky and provocative ideas, and to propose challenges and opportunities for the field in the near future.

General Information
-------------------

All full papers accepted to the main track and the special tracks will be presented in parallel technical sessions. All the papers will be published in the conference Proceedings and will be permanently available after the conference at http://www.ifaamas.org/proceedings.html.

In addition, AAMAS 2016 will include:
* Workshops
* Demonstrations
* Posters presentations for full papers and extended abstracts
* Invited talks and panel discussions The submission processes for the workshops and demonstrations are separate from the main paper submission process. Relevant information will be posted on the relevant pages.

[DMANET] [1st CFP] ANTS 2016: Tenth International Conference on Swarm Intelligence

ANTS 2016
Tenth International Conference on Swarm Intelligence

September 7-9, 2016. Brussels, Belgium


Call for papers prepared on October 5, 2015
More details and up-to-date information at
http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/ants2016


Scope of the Conference
=======================

Swarm intelligence is the discipline that deals with the study of
self-organizing processes both in nature and in artificial systems.
Researchers in ethology and animal behavior have proposed a number of
models to explain interesting aspects of social insect behavior such
as self-organization and shape-formation. Recently, algorithms and
methods inspired by these models have been proposed to solve difficult
problems in many domains.

An example of a particularly successful research direction in swarm
intelligence is ant colony optimization, the main focus of which is on
discrete optimization problems. Ant colony optimization has been
applied successfully to a large number of difficult discrete
optimization problems including the traveling salesman problem, the
quadratic assignment problem, scheduling, vehicle routing, etc., as
well as to routing in telecommunication networks. Another interesting
approach is that of particle swarm optimization, that mainly focuses
on continuous optimization problems. Here too, a number of successful
applications can be found in the recent literature. Swarm robotics is
another relevant field. Here, the focus is on applying swarm
intelligence techniques to the control of large groups of cooperating
autonomous robots.

ANTS 2016 will give researchers in swarm intelligence the opportunity
to meet, to present their latest research, and to discuss current
developments and applications.

The three-day conference will be held in Brussels, Belgium, on September
7-9, 2016.

[DMANET] MADALGO PhD student and Post Doc positions

Center for Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO), is a basic research
center funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The center is
located in the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University,
Denmark, but also includes researchers at CSAIL, Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and at
Frankfurt University. The center covers all areas of the design,
analysis and implementation of algorithms and data structures for
processing massive data (interpreted broadly to cover computations where
data is large compared to the computational resources), with focus on
I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious and streaming algorithms. See
www.madalgo.au.dk for more information.

Starting February 1, 2016 or later, positions are available at MADALGO
under the supervision of Professor Lars Arge (www.madalgo.au.dk/~large),
Associate Professor Gerth S. Brodal (www.madalgo.au.dk/~gerth),
Associate Professor Peyman Afshani (www.madalgo.au.dk/~peyman), and
Assistant Professor Kasper Green Larsen (www.madalgo.au.dk/~larsen).

Several PhD student positions may be available. The positions are
administered through the Graduate School of Science and Technology at
Aarhus University (talent.au.dk/phd/scienceandtechnology) and include
full tuition waiver and a very competitive scholarship. Applications are
welcomed from students with at least three years of full-time study by
February 2016. Students with a strong background in the design and
analysis of algorithms will be preferred.

One or more MADALGO postdoc positions at the level of Research Assistant
Professor of Computer Science are also available. Postdoc positions are
initially for one year, but can be extended with an additional year by
mutual consent. MADALGO welcomes postdoctoral researchers with clearly
demonstrated experience and skills in the design and analysis of
algorithms and data structures. Researchers with experience with
I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious or streaming algorithms, as well as with
implementation of such algorithms (algorithm engineering experience) are
preferred. The responsibilities of MADALGO postdocs include work on
algorithms for massive dataset problems in collaboration with center
researchers, along with modest teaching responsibilities.

The application deadlines for PhD student and postdoc positions are
November 1 and November 15, 2015, respectively. Applicants for PhD
student positions should apply using the Aarhus Graduate School of
Science and Technology application system also accessible from
www.madalgo.au.dk. Applicants for postdoc positions should apply by
uploading a letter of interest and a CV, as well as indicate at least
two names of references for recommendations, using the application form
available at www.madalgo.au.dk.
