Special Issue on Information and Opinion Diffusion in Online Social Networks and Media

Submission Deadline: October 1st, 2017
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/online-social-networks-and-media/

Online Social Networks are a massively successful phenomenon, used by billions of users to interact. Nowadays, information diffusion in Online Social Networks and Media (OSNEM) has a major role, among many others, for recommendation systems, advertising, and political campaigns. Moverover, the way information circulates in OSNEM impacts on the formation of opinions and on the social roles of users and their influence on others. OSNEM are extensively used for spreading information, opinions and ideas, but also to propagate fake news and rumors. Therefore, prevention of spam, bots and fake accounts, information leakage, trustworthiness of information and trust between users are relevant research issues associated with information diffusion.

This special issue seeks contributions pushing the state of the art in all facets of information and opinion diffusion in online social networks and media. We solicit manuscripts where quantitative and/or data-driven approach is used to investigate information and opinion diffusion in OSNEM.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Dynamics of trends, information and opinion diffusion in OSNEM
- Recommendations and advertising in OSNEM
- Spread of news, topics, and opinions
- Trust, reputation, privacy in OSNEM information and opinion diffusion
- Rumors and fake news spreading in OSNEM
- Bots and fake users detection
- Influence analysis and social influence
- Identification of diffusion sources and influencers
- Methods to modify/control/maximise information and opinion diffusion
- Measurements of information and opinion diffusion??in OSNEM
- Models of information and opinion diffusion
- Data-driven approaches to study information and opinion diffusion in OSNEM

*** Tentative Schedule ***
Manuscript submission deadline: October 1, 2017

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Tuesday, October 3, 2017

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

SPECIAL TOPIC INVITED SESSIONS:

o Boolean and pseudo-Boolean Functions
-Organized by Endre Boros, Rutgers University, and Yves Crama, University of Liege

o Formalising Robot Ethics
-Organized by Michael Fisher, University of Liverpool, and Marija Slavkovik, University of Bergen

o Topological Reasoning and Data Analyses
-Organized by Debasis Mitra, Florida Istitute of Technology

o Theory of Machine Learning
-Organized by Lev Reyzin, University of Illinois at Chicago

PAPER SUBMISSION:

Paper submission will be electronic via the submission link to EasyChair on the Paper Submission page of the Symposium website (/isaim2018.cs.virginia.edu/). Papers must be formatted in accordance with the guidelines given there.

The submission deadline is Tuesday, October 3, 2017 (11:59PM PDT). Papers will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection by Tuesday, October 31, 2017. Final versions of accepted papers, for inclusion in the conference electronic proceedings, are due by Monday, November 27, 2017.

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.

Any questions regarding paper submission should be sent to the program committee chair at the email address <isaim2018 at mail DOT cs DOT virginia DOT edu>.

[DMANET] Research Assistant Mathematical Optimization [German]

[apologies: as a proficient command of the German language is indispensable
for this post, the opening is in German]

Wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in E13

Mathematik, Informatik oder Operations Research

RWTH Aachen University, Lehrstuhl für Operations Research

Unser Profil

Am Lehrstuhl für Operations Research der Rheinisch-Westfälischen
Technischen Hochschule Aachen (www.or.rwth-aachen.de) ist ab sofort eine
Stelle in Vollzeit als Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin/Wissenschaftlicher
Mitarbeiter zu besetzen. Diskrete Mathematik, theoretische Informatik und
Operations Research bilden den interdisziplinären Hintergrund der
Arbeitsgruppe. Unsere Interessen sind ganzzahlige und kombinatorische
Optimierung, algorithmische Graphentheorie, Scheduling, Algorithm
Engineering, und verwandte methoden-orientierte Bereiche des Operations
Research. Grundlagenforschung und praktische Anwendungen gehen Hand in Hand.

Insbesondere ist der Lehrstuhl für die wissenschaftliche, und zum Teil auch
informationstechnische Begleitung des "carpe diem!" Projekts an der RWTH
federführend: dort sind wir für die optimierte Hörsaal- und Terminplanung
sämtlicher Lehrveranstaltungen und Prüfungen verantwortlich.

Ihr Profil

Sie haben zum Zeitpunkt der Einstellung ein Hochschulstudium (Master oder
vergleichbar) in Mathematik oder Informatik mit weit überdurchschnittlichem
Erfolg abgeschlossen. Sie besitzen vertiefte Kenntnisse in der
mathematischen (insb. ganzzahligen) Optimierung in Theorie und Praxis (z.B.
aus Ihrer Abschlussarbeit). Idealerweise bringen Sie einerseits große
mathematisch-wissenschaftliche Begabung mit und sind andererseits an der
Lösung echter praktischer Probleme sehr interessiert. Eine generell große
Computeraffinität und sehr gute Implementationskenntnisse sind daher
unerlässlich. Persönliches Engagement, Durchhaltevermögen, hohes
Verantwortungsbewusstsein, Kreativität und Team- und
Kommunikationsfähigkeiten sind Eigenschaften, die wir an Ihnen sehr
schätzen. Hervorragende Deutschkenntnisse sind unverzichtbar.

Bitte übersenden Sie mit Ihrer Bewerbung zusätzlich zu den üblichen
Unterlagen ein knappes Motivationsschreiben und eine PDF-Datei Ihrer
Abschlussarbeit, sofern diese schon vorliegt. Gerne beifügen können Sie
Empfehlungen oder weitere Unterlagen, die Ihre Bewerbung unterstützen.

Ihre Aufgaben

Die erfolgreiche Bewerberin/der erfolgreiche Bewerber ist verantwortlich
für den wissenschaftlichen und informationstechnischen Teil des "carpe
diem!" Projekts. Dazu gehört die Weiterentwicklung mathematischer
Optimierungsmodelle und -algorithmen, Pflege und Weiterentwicklung der
bestehenden Softwarelandschaft in Kooperation mit den bisherigen
Entwicklern und einem Team unterstützender Hiwis. Letzteres Team werden Sie
führen. Kommunikation und Kooperation mit weiteren Angehörigen der RWTH
machen Sie zu einem Knotenpunkt in diesem Projekt.

Das Anstreben einer Promotion wird erwartet; die Möglichkeit dazu wird
gegeben. Das Thema "Optimierung von Semester- und Prüfungsplänen" hat sehr
reizvolle Fragen auch aus z.B. spieltheoretischer Sicht und auch aus Sicht
der ganzzahligen und robusten Optimierung. Generell muss das
Promotionsthema aber nicht an das Projekt gebunden sein.

Unser Angebot

Die Einstellung erfolgt im Beschäftigtenverhältnis. Die persönlichen
Voraussetzungen müssen erfüllt sein.

Die Stelle ist zum nächstmöglichen Zeitpunkt zu besetzen und befristet auf
zunächst ein Jahr. Eine Verlängerung bis zum Ende des Jahres 2020 ist
möglich und erwünscht.

Es handelt sich um eine Vollzeitstelle.

Eine Promotionsmöglichkeit besteht. Die Eingruppierung richtet sich nach
TV-L E13.

Die RWTH ist als familiengerechte Hochschule zertifiziert.

Wir wollen an der RWTH Aachen besonders die Karrieren von Frauen fördern
und freuen uns daher über Bewerberinnen.

Frauen werden bei gleicher Eignung, Befähigung und fachlicher Leistung
bevorzugt berücksichtigt, sofern sie in der Organisationseinheit
unterrepräsentiert sind und sofern nicht in der Person eines Mitbewerbers
liegende Gründe überwiegen.

Bewerbungen geeigneter schwerbehinderter Menschen sind ausdrücklich
erwünscht.

Für Vorabinformationen steht Ihnen

Herr Prof. Dr. Marco Lübbecke
E-Mail: marco.luebbecke@rwth-aachen.de
zur Verfügung.

Ihre Bewerbung richten Sie bitte bis zum 11.08.2017 an

Prof. Dr. Marco Lübbecke
Lehrstuhl für Operations Research
Kackertstr. 7
D-52072 Aachen

Gerne können Sie Ihre Bewerbung auch per E-Mail an
marco.luebbecke@rwth-aachen.de senden (bevorzugt, bitte als einzelne
PDF-Datei). Bitte beachten Sie, dass Gefährdungen der Vertraulichkeit und
der unbefugte Zugriff Dritter bei einer Kommunikation per unverschlüsselter
E-Mail nicht ausgeschlossen werden können.

[DMANET] Reminder: WINE 2017 deadline is on Aug 2nd.

Reminder: WINE 2017 Deadline is in roughly 2 weeks, on Aug 2nd. The
conference will be held during December 17-20, 2017, at the Indian
Institute of Science, Bangalore, India.

The CFP is here. http://lcm.csa.iisc.ernet.in/wine2017/papers.html

Submission server is here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wine2017

Some points to raise awareness.

1. A selection of papers accepted to the conference is invited to
GEB/TEAC.
2. WINE has had the best paper award for a couple of years now. In some
years the committee has chosen not to give the award to any paper, but the
option has been there.
3. WINE is seen as being narrower than EC, and some subset of the EC
community doesn't typically submit to WINE. We would like to broaden the
scope of WINE to include all those topics covered in EC. In particular, we
welcome and encourage papers from the AI, OR, and Econ communities.
4. We also welcome experimental papers, and in particular papers that
have both a theoretical and an experimental part are strongly encouraged.

[DMANET] DCC '18 special session: Computation over Compressed Data

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to announce that the next *Data Compression Conference* (DCC
'18) will feature a special session on *Computation over Compressed Data*.
This session extends the special sessions at DCC '14 and '16 on Compact
Data Structures, and we invite you to submit interesting new results you
may have both on *compact data structures* and on *compression-aware
algorithms* (i.e., those that run faster on compressible inputs).

The session will be an opportunity for members of our community to confer
with each other and reinforce our topics' relevance to the wider field of
data compression. If we receive enough suitable papers, we will arrange a
special issue of *Information and Computation* for extended versions of
some of them. Selected papers from the 2014 and 2016 sessions were invited
to special issues of the *Journal of Discrete Algorithms* (published March
2017) and *Algorithmica* (in preparation).

Papers are due by *November 1st*, 2017 (23:59 PST) and the conference will
take place from March 27th to 30th, in Snowbird, Utah (a premier ski resort
in the Rocky Mountains). The DCC submission process (see
http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~dcc/Call.html) will allow authors to direct
their papers to the special session, but submissions will be otherwise
handled in the same way, will be subject to the same review process and, if
accepted, will be included in the same proceedings.

Best regards,
Travis Gagie and Gonzalo Navarro
(session co-chairs)
