[DMANET] 22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2017): Fourth Call for Workshop Proposals

** Fourth Call for Workshop Proposals ***

22nd ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces
IUI 2017

St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus

March 13-16, 2017

http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/lm/lm.php?tk=ZG1hbmV0CQkJZG1hbmV0QHpwci51bmkta29lbG4uZGUJMjJuZCBBQ00gSW50ZXJuYXRpb25hbCBDb25mZXJlbmNlIG9uIEludGVsbGlnZW50IFVzZXIgSW50ZXJmYWNlcyAoSVVJIDIwMTcpOiBGb3VydGggQ2FsbCBmb3IgV29ya3Nob3AgUHJvcG9zYWxzCTU1CUxpc3RzCTI0NwljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fiui.acm.org%2F2017


Overview

ACM IUI 2017 is the 22nd annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces
community and serves as a premier international forum for reporting
outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces.

The 22nd edition of the conference will be held in Limassol, Cyprus.
Limassol (or Lemesos) is a multicultural bustling town, flanked by two
ancient cities, Amathus and Kourion, and guarded by the Amathusian
Aphrodite and Appolo Hylates. It is a town of great visual diversity and
contrast from spectacular seafront views, historic places like the mediaeval
Castle, and Byzantine churches. Along the 17 km long sandy beaches, two
Marinas, world renowned 5 star hotels, and a most exciting dining, shopping,
nightlife and yachting scene create a year-round vibrant lifestyle well beyond
the expectations of a Mediterranean island.

ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets
the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as
psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design
or the arts. Our focus is to improve the interaction between humans and
machines, by leveraging both more traditional HCI approaches, as well as
solutions that involve state-of-the art AI techniques such as machine
learning, natural language processing, data mining, knowledge
representation and reasoning. ACM IUI welcomes contribution from any
relevant arena: academia, business, or non-profit organizations.

IUI 2017 is pleased to invite proposals for workshops to be held in
conjunction with the conference. The goal of the workshops is to provide a
venue for presenting research on focused topics of interest and an informal
forum to discuss research questions and challenges. Workshops will be held
on the first day of the conference. We invite submissions of full-day (6 hours)
and half-day (3 hours) workshop proposals on any of the conference topics.

We encourage proposals for a wide range of workshops, including but not
limited to:

· "Mini-conferences" on specialized topics; such workshops may have their
own paper submission and review processes.

· "Late breaking work" meetings; such workshops usually have a lighter
review process (e.g. based on abstracts only).

· "Hands-on" workshops around a specific problem or topic that may wish to
ask participants to submit a position statement.

· "Project centric" workshops that may be closely related to the scope of an
existing large scale (e.g. EU funded) project.

· "Mini-competitions", challenges, or hack-a-thons around selected topics
with individual or team participation.


Proposal Format

Note: The key to a successful workshop submission is to CONTACT THE
CHAIRS WITH YOUR IDEAS (workshop2017@iui.acm.org), and work together
to prepare an exciting proposal!

Workshop proposals should be maximum 2 pages long and follow the

Additional Guidelines

· Workshop proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the workshop chairs
and the IUI 2017 program committee chairs.

· Organizers: We strongly encourage the workshop organizers to attend IUI
and take part in their workshop. This can make the workshops more
appealing for the participants and strengthen the discussion part.

· Workshop summary: An extended abstract (max. 3 pages) with a summary
of the workshop goals and an overview of the workshop topics will be
included in the ACM Digital Library for IUI 2017.

· Workshop proceedings: At the convenience of the workshop organizers, we
will arrange a joint volume of online proceedings for the workshop papers.
Workshops should request the authors to submit papers in the ACM SIGCHI
Paper Format.

· Cancellation: Workshops with fewer than 10 submissions by December 23,
2016 may be cancelled. This will be done in consultation between the
workshop chairs of IUI 2017 and the workshop organizers.

Additionally, we strongly encourage to have workshop organizers from
different institutions and research communities, bringing different
perspectives to the workshop topic. We welcome workshops with a creative
structure that attracts various types of contributions and ensures rich
interactions.

The organizers of accepted workshops are responsible for producing a call
for participation and publicizing it, such as distributing the call to relevant
newsgroups and electronic mailing lists, and especially to potential audiences
from outside the IUI conference community. Workshop organizers will
maintain their own web site with updated information about the workshop
and the IUI 2017 web site will refer to the workshop site. The workshop
organizers will coordinate the paper sollicitation, collection, and review
process, and coordinate the production of the joint online proceedings with
IUI 2017 workshop chairs.

A fully funded 3-year PhD position at Univ. Nice in cooperation with the
start-up company WEVER is to be filled as soon as possible. Desired
starting date: as soon as possible (preferably October 2016; there is some
flexibility with the starting date though). Fixed 3-year-contract, net
salary minimum 1500 Euro/month.

Topic:
The start-up company WEVER offers small-distance rideshare services, taking
place either regularly or occasionally together with special events, for
users registered in their system. The idea is to offer incentives for users
willing to accept a detour to accept other users as passengers, in the form
of vouchers or discounts for certain events. These vouchers or discounts
are offered by companies that in turn pay a fixed amount to WEVER for
every rideshare that indeed takes place and that is sponsored by their
vouchers.
The goals of this thesis are twofold: on the one hand, a sound mathematical
model describing the interactions between users and companies, and on the
other hand also an implementation of the model. More details on the subject
can be found at
http://math.unice.fr/~dmitsche/thesisproposal.pdf

* Notification: 22 December 2016
* Camera-ready versions due: 20 January 2017


-- SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS --

ETAPS conferences accept two types of contributions: research papers
and tool demonstration papers. Both types will appear in the
proceedings and have presentations during the conference.

ESOP and FoSSaCS accept only research papers.

A condition of submission is that, if the submission is accepted, one
of the authors attends the conference to give the presentation.

Submitted papers must be in English presenting original research. They
must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere (this
does not apply to abstracts). In particular, simultaneous submission
of the same contribution to multiple ETAPS conferences is
forbidden. The proceedings will be published in the Advanced Research
in Computing and Software Science (ARCoSS) subline of Springer's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Papers must follow the formatting guidelines specified by Springer at
the URL

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

and be submitted electronically in pdf through the EasyChair author
interface of the respective conference.

Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be
rejected immediately.

FASE will use a light-weight double-blind review process (see
http://www.etaps.org/2017/fase).


- Research papers

FASE, FOSSACS and TACAS have a page limit of 15 pp (excluding
bibliography of max 2 pp) for research papers, whereas POST allows at
most 20 pp (excluding bibliography of max 2 pp) and ESOP 25 pp
(excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).

Additional material intended for the referees but not for publication
in the final version - for example, details of proofs - may be placed
in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page
limit. ETAPS referees are at liberty to ignore appendices and papers
must be understandable without them.

In addition to regular research papers, TACAS solicits also case study
papers (at most 15 pp, excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).

Both TACAS and FASE solicit also regular tool papers (at most 15 pp,
excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).

The rationale of a separate page limit for the bibliography is to
remove the possibility to win space for the body of a
paper by cutting the bibliography, a practise that has a negative
effect on our competitiveness as a community.


- Tool demonstration papers

Submissions should consist of two parts:

* The first part, at most 4 pages, should describe the tool
presented. Please include the URL of the tool (if available) and
provide information that illustrates the maturity and robustness of
the tool. (This part will be included in the proceedings.)

* The second part, at most 6 pages, should explain how the
demonstration will be carried out and what it will show, including
screen dumps and examples. (This part will be not be included in the
proceedings, but will be evaluated.

ESOP and FOSSACS do not accept tool demonstration papers.

TACAS has a page limit of 6 pages for tool demonstrations.


-- SATELLITE EVENTS (22-23 April, 29 April) --

Around 20 satellite workshops will take place before and after the
main conferences.


-- HOST CITY --

Uppsala city holds a rich history, having for long periods
been the political, religious and academic centre of Sweden.
Uppsala University is over 500 years old and ranked among
the top 100 in the World and has hosted many great
scientists over the years, for instance Carl von Linné, Anders
Celsius and Anders Jonas Ångström. The proximity to the
capital of Sweden, Stockholm, provides additional benefits
as a potential site for arranging both pre- and post congress
tours, as well as for excursions or tourism.


-- HOST INSTITUTION --

ETAPS 2017 is hosted by the Department of Information Technology,
Uppsala University.

[DMANET] PhD position "Robust Spanner Networks in the Face of Uncertainty" at TU Eindhoven

*PhD position "Robust Spanner Networks in the Face of Uncertainty" at TU
Eindhoven*

We are looking for a strong, motivated PhD candidate with a background
in computer science and/or mathematics for a four-year project on the
intersection between algorithms and probability theory.

*Project description.*

Complex networks are ubiquitous and their failure has severe
consequences. Therefore robustness is an essential property of networks.
The quality of geometric networks like road networks is often measured
based on distances: a good network should provide relatively short
routes between the nodes of the network. Geometric spanners are networks
that have a relatively short route between any pair of nodes. In this
project we will analyze the robustness of geometric spanners under
random failures and develop algorithms to construct and augment spanners
that are robust to random failures. The project is part of the NETWORKS
program (see below) and is a joint project of the Algorithms Group and
the Probability and Statistics Group at the TU Eindhoven, under the
daily supervision of Kevin Buchin and Tim Hulshof, and additional
supervision of Mark de Berg and Remco van der Hofstad.

*Requirements.*

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who has an MSc in
mathematics or computer science. The candidate should be interested in
algorithms as well as in probability theory, and preferably already have
a good background in at least one of these two areas.


*NETWORKS.*

NETWORKS is a 10-year research program funded by the Dutch Ministry of
Education, Culture and Science through the Netherlands Organisation for
Scientific Research. The NETWORKS consortium consists of top researchers
from four different institutions: University of Amsterdam (UvA),
Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Leiden University (UL) Center
for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI). The program started in the
summer of 2014 and covers a broad range of topics dealing with
stochastic and algorithmic aspects of networks. The aim of the programme
is to address the pressing challenges posed by large-scale networks with
the help of stochastics and algorithmics. See
http://www.thenetworkcenter.nl/ for more details.

Through the NETWORKS programme we offer various post-graduate
educational opportunities to our PhDs. This comes mainly in the form of
"Training Weeks", where one or more experts give an intensive week-long
course on a topic relevant to NETWORKS, as well as the opportunity for
PhDs to do a more extensive, guided internship in a different scientific
group (or company) associated with NETWORKS.

*The TU/e Algorithms Group.*

The algorithms group, headed by prof. Mark de Berg, performs fundamental
research in computational geometry, I/O-efficient algorithms, and FPT
and graph algorithms, with applications to, for instance, geographic
information systems. Currently the group consists of Mark de Berg, Kevin
Buchin, Herman Haverkort, and Bart Jansen, and several PhD students.
Hans Bodlaender (Utrecht University) is associated to the group as a
part-time professor.

*The TU/e Stochastics Section.*

The Stochastics section at the TU/e consists of about sixty people
divided into two groups focussing on Probability and Statistics, and on
Stochastic Operations Research, respectively. The Probability and
Statistics group is headed by professors Edwin van den Heuvel and Remco
van der Hofstad. Other members of the group are Rui Castro, Tim Hulshof,
Julia Komjathy, and Francesca Nardi, as well as several postdocs and PhD
students. The research interests of the group are varied, but the main
focus is on probabilistic and statistical aspects of networks, applied
statistics, machine learning, and statistical physics.

Associated with the Stochastics Section is the EURANDOM institute, which
hosts many international workshops on topics related to probability,
statistics and stochastic operations research throughout the year.


*The TU Eindhoven and the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science*.

The TU Eindhoven (TU/e) was established in 1956 as a polytechnic. It has
grown into a university with nine faculties. The TU/e now has
approximately 3000 employees (incl. PhD students) and 8000 BSc and MSc
students. The Department of Computer Science offers several bachelor and
master programs, all of which are taught in English. It has eight
well-established research groups, one of which is the Algorithms Group.
The TU/e campus is in the center of Eindhoven. The city of Eindhoven is
located in the south of the Netherlands. It is a lively city with about
200,000 inhabitants, making it the fifth largest city of the
Netherlands. Including suburbs the population is about 400,000.

Being a PhD student in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, every PhD
student gets paid a salary; no additional grants are needed. Moreover,
although PhD students sometimes take courses, there is no minimum
requirement. Hence, PhD students are more like employees than like
students. Indeed, the Dutch word for PhD student translates to "research
trainee". The work of a PhD student may include assisting in courses of
BSc or MSc programs of the department. This amounts to at most 20% of
the time; the remaining time is spent on research and research-related
activities. Foreign PhD students need not speak Dutch: it is easy to get
by with English, not only at the university but also in everyday life.

*We offer.*
We offer a PhD position on an exciting topic at the intersection of
algorithms and probability theory. The project will take place in a
strong and stimulating environment: the Algorithms Group and the
Probability and Statistics Group are among the largest and strongest
groups world-wide in their respective research areas, and the embedding
into the NETWORKS project offers great opportunities post-graduate
educational opportunities in the form of training weeks, workshops and
internships. Gross salary ranges from € 2.174 per month in the first
year increasing up to € 2.779 in the fourth year. The TU Eindhoven
offers a broad package of fringe benefits (e.g. excellent technical
infrastructure, child daycare and excellent sports facilities).

*Further information.*

For more information about the project or about the working conditions,
please contact Mark de Berg (mdberg@win.tue.nl
<mailto:mdberg@win.tue.nl>), or Kevin Buchin (k.a.buchin@tue.nl
<mailto:k.a.buchin@tue.nl> ).

[DMANET] Postdoctoral Research Position: Maintenance Optimization for Rail Infrastructure Systems

The University of Newcastle, Australia, invites expressions of
interest for a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in the area of theory
and algorithms for the optimization of maintenance of rail
infrastructure systems for coal and iron exports, starting late 2016,
or as soon as possible thereafter subject to applicant availability.

The fellowship is available for 1 year, with a possible 1-year
extension. The salary will be in the range of AU$81,928-$87,943 per
annum, depending on the skills and experience of the applicant. There
is also provision for a relocation allowance, and for additional funds
to support travel to conferences both overseas and within Australia
during the period of the fellowship.

The successful applicant will hold a PhD in operations research,
engineering, mathematics, computer science, or a related discipline.
Strong optimization and computer programming skills are essential. A
knowledge of mixed integer programming and/or metaheuristics would be
an asset. Additionally candidates are encouraged to highlight broad
experience with modelling or assessment of complex networks,
infrastructure asset management or resource management.

Expressions of interest are preferred before September 1, 2016,
however later interest will be considered until the position is
filled. To express your interest in a fellowship please send your CV,
together with an academic transcript showing details of all courses
you have taken, the grades you were awarded, an interpretation of
those grades, and the names and contact details of at least two people
who can provide confidential references, to the contact person at the
address shown below. If your transcript is not in English, please
provide an English translation. Please feel free to include a link to
your PhD thesis, and/or include other publications in your email.
Include details of your computer programming skills and experience,
your optimization training and background, and any experience you have
with modelling and solving industrial problems. Please also indicate
your possible start dates.

The project will be funded under an Australia Research Council (ARC)
Linkage Grant with industry support from Aurizon
(http://www.aurizon.com.au), Australia's largest rail freight
operator. Coal and iron ore export supply chains critically depend on
the transport capacity provided by Australia's rail infrastructure.
Increasingly so, because coal and iron ore export supply chains are
literally getting longer: mineral bodies closer to ports have been
exploited first, and as these become exhausted, supply chains are
stretching further to reach harder-to-get-at resources. Combined with
increasing export volumes, this makes intelligent, efficient, and
effective management of this critical piece of infrastructure vitally
important. Maintenance plays a crucial role in the management of rail
infrastructure as it ensures that infrastructure components, e.g.,
track, signals, and rail crossings, are in a condition that allows
safe, reliable, and efficient transport. This project will
investigate the key planning activities in preventive maintenance of
rail infrastructure systems, and seek to develop effective
optimization algorithms for their solution.

The postdoctoral fellow will join a research team of faculty, research
fellows and PhD students working on this project. The project also
involves international research collaborations with Professors
Natashia Boland and Martin Savelsbergh (Georgia Tech) and Yanfeng
Ouyang (University of Illinois).

The University of Newcastle is a major research university in
Australia, increasingly recognized internationally as a rapidly
emerging educational institution. The main campus is located in the
city of Newcastle: on the coast about two hours drive north from
Sydney. The School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences provides a
stimulating and supportive environment for research and teaching, with
ample opportunities for collaborative research partnerships both
within the university and with industry. Although well known for its
beautiful beaches and pleasant climate, Newcastle is home to
Australia's (and the world's) largest coal exporting port. Newcastle
is also at the gateway of one of Australia's largest wine-growing
regions, the Hunter Valley. Thus opportunities for research in
shipping, transportation, and mineral resources abound.

The School includes a strong group in Operations Research, with a
number of faculty, research fellows, and current PhD students working
in areas such as mixed integer programming, mixed integer nonlinear
programming, supply chain logistics, and transportation optimization.
The group has strong collaborations with colleagues in computer
science working with evolutionary algorithms. It also has close
research links with first-class international institutions and
excellent support from industry and government research funding.
