[DMANET] MASSIVE 2016 Call for Papers

===============================
MASSIVE 2016 Call for Papers
===============================

The Eighth Workshop on Massive Data Algorithmics (MASSIVE 2016) will
take place on August 23, 2016 in Aarhus, Denmark as part of ALGO 2016.

http://conferences.au.dk/algo16/massive/

The workshop has no formal proceedings, so work presented at the
workshop can also be (or have been) presented at other conferences.

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

Important Dates:

Submission deadlines:
- Paper submission: July 15, 2016 11:00pm GMT
- Author Notification: July 25, 2016
- Camera-ready version: August 10, 2016

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

Aim and scope:

Tremendous advances in our ability to acquire, store and process data,
as well as the pervasive use of computers in general, have resulted in
a spectacular increase in the amount of data being collected. This
availability of high-quality data has led to major advances in both
science and industry. In general, society is becoming increasingly
data driven, and this trend is likely to continue in the coming years.

The increasing number of applications processing massive data means
that in general focus on algorithm efficiency is increasing. However,
the large size of the data, and/or the small size of many modern
computing devices, also means that issues such as memory hierarchy
architecture often play a crucial role in algorithm efficiency. Thus
the availability of massive data also means many new challenges for
algorithm designers.

The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers from
both academia and industry interested in algorithms for massive
dataset problems. The scope of the workshop includes both fundamental
algorithmic problems involving massive data, as well as algorithms for
more specialized problems in, e.g., graphics, databases, statistics
and bioinformatics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:

- I/O-efficient algorithms
- Cache-oblivious algorithms
- Memory hierarchy efficient algorithms
- Streaming algorithms
- Sublinear algorithms
- Parallel and distributed algorithms for massive data problems
- Engineering massive data algorithms

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

Paper submission:

We invite submissions of extended abstracts of original research. The
submission should begin with the title of the paper, each author's
name, affiliation, and e-mail address, followed by a succinct
statement of the problems considered, the main results, an explanation
of their significance, and a comparison to past research, all of which
should be easily understood by non-specialists. More technical
developments follow as appropriate. Use 11-point or larger font in
single column format, with one-inch or wider margins all around. You
may include a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the
discretion of the committee. The submission, excluding title page,
bibliography and appendix, must not exceed 10 pages (authors should
feel free to send submissions that are significantly shorter than 10
pages).

Extended abstract should be submitted through the EasyChair website by
July 15th. The submission page can be found at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=massive2016. Authors will be
notified about acceptance by July 25th. There will be no formal
proceedings, so work presented at the workshop can also be (or have
been) presented at other conferences. An informal collection of the
extended abstracts will be provided to the workshop participants. An
author of each accepted abstract is expected to give a presentation of
the abstract at the workshop.

[DMANET] CFP - Algorithms MDPI - Special Issue on Parallel Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems

Call for Papers

MDPI Algorithms Journal

Special Issue on Parallel Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems
(http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/parallel_algorithms)

Scope

Combinatorial optimization problems model most of the application scenarios
frequently arising in practice. Unfortunately, optimal solutions to these
problems are hard to obtain, with most of them having high computational
complexity. Even in the case of problems admitting polynomial time
solutions, e.g., the classical shortest path problem, the relevant
applications should now work on very large input instances or should cope
with a large number of concurrent users. Thus, faster solution methods are
clearly needed for achieving real time responses for problems previously
considered as easy ones. The same also holds for most heuristic methods or
approximation algorithms that have been proposed for obtaining approximate
solutions for hard optimization problems in acceptable execution times. For
large-scale problems, these techniques are inadequate, and much faster
algorithmic techniques are needed again.

Due to the aforementioned limitations, parallelism has been considered a
means of deriving faster algorithmic solutions. Parallel computation is
virtually ubiquitous nowadays and can be found in all modern computing
platforms. Although the concept of parallel execution is simple, its
application on combinatorial optimization problems is not straightforward,
due to the inherently irregular control flow that the algorithms for this
kind of problem commonly have. In this Special Issue, we solicit
contributions that will propose new methodologies for solving problems in
combinatorial optimization using parallel computation, either in
shared-memory systems (e.g., multi-core/many-core processors, GPUs, etc.) or
in distributed-memory systems (e.g., clusters, cloud architectures, etc.).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Parallel exact algorithms: e.g., divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming,
etc.

- Parallel approximation algorithms- Parallel fixed parameter algorithms

- Parallel heuristics/metaheuristics for combinatorial optimization
problems: e.g., local search, simulated annealing, evolutionary computation,
swarm intelligence computation, etc.

- Parallel techniques in integer linear programming: e.g., parallelization
of branch-and-bound, column generation, and cutting plane methods or their
combinations (i.e., branch-and-cut or branch-and-price).

- Parallel algorithms for multi-objective optimization problems.
