[DMANET] WEPA 2018 Call for Papers

WEPA 2018 CALL FOR PAPERS

WEPA 2018: Second Workshop on Enumeration Problems and Applications
November 5-8, Department of Computer Science, University of Pisa, Pisa.

The WEPA 2018 conference is the Second Workshop on Enumeration Problems and
Applications. It will take place at Department of Computer Science of
University of Pisa, in Pisa (Italy). The conference will take place from
Monday November 5 to Tuesday November 8, 2018.

IMPORTANT DATES
Submission of papers: Sep 3, 2018 (AoE)
Acceptance notification: Sep 25, 2018
Registration: Oct 15, 2018
Conference: Nov 5-8, 2018

WEBSITE: http://wepa2018.di.unipi.it

AIMS AND SCOPE

WEPA is a new international forum for researchers in the area of design,
analysis, experimental evaluation and engineering of algorithms for
enumeration problems. The objective of the workshop is to gather
researchers working in enumeration algorithms, including their applications
in Biology, Data Mining, Logic, and Database. The goal is to present recent
results, identify and explore directions for future research, and foster
collaborations.
For this reason, along with the sessions for the presentation of
established results, this year WEPA will introduce new sessions that are
devoted to ideas, sketches, and open problems: hopefully this will put in
touch senior researchers with junior researchers and graduate students to
investigate problems of theoretical and practical interest. These new
sessions will be informal, with no scheduled presentations, entirely
devoted to the interactions among the participants. The workshop will be
accommodated some rooms to allow space for the parallel working groups.

Submissions to WEPA should describe results in any area of enumeration
problems and including, but not restricted to:
- Applications in Biology, Data Mining, Logic, and Database
- Approximate enumeration and counting
- Combinatorial enumeration and counting (hypergraph dualization, lattices,
functional dependencies,...)
- Input-sensitive algorithms
- Output-sensitive algorithms

There is no registration fee for WEPA this year. However, it is mandatory
to register before 20 October 2018 by sending a message to
wepa2018nov@gmail.com

[DMANET] fully-(well-)funded two-years post-doc position and the Department of Computer Science of the University of Pisa

Apologies for multiple postings.

The Department of Computer Science of the University of Pisa is happy to announce the opening of a fully funded post-doc position within the H2020 "plan4res" project

https://www.plan4res.eu/

The position is formally for one year, but funds are available for it being renewed for a second year subject only to mutual interest. Further extensions after the end of the project are also possible, still subject to mutual interest. The salary will be of 30000 Euro per year, subject only to Italian personal income taxes; this is roughly 150% of the typical salary of a position of this kind in Italy.

The procedures to apply are described at

https://www.unipi.it/ateneo/bandi/assegni/asse2018/inf/30lug2018/index.htm

with deadline for application on 30/07/2018 at 13:00. Candidates on the short list will be interviewed on 07/09/2018 at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Pisa; however, remote interviews are possible. The start of the position is expected to be 01/10/2018.

The position will be entirely devoted to the development of SMS++, an innovative C++ framework for representing and solving large-scale optimization problems with multiple, nested, heterogeneous forms of structure, in particular (but not exclusively) by mens of decomposition approaches, both in sequential and in parallel. A description of the framework and of some of its possible applications is available at

https://www.plan4res.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/slides.pdf
https://www.plan4res.eu/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/slides-1.pdf

The main application foreseen in the project is to long-term energy optimization problems with quite accurate depiction of the mid-term (reservoir management) and short-term (unit commitment) aspects.

Consequently, candidates are especially welcome who have:

- experience in object-oriented programming, especially in C++, for the development of complex software frameworks, in particular (but not exclusively) for the development of numerical optimization algorithms;

- familiarity with techniques for development of parallel software;

- familiarity with the main optimization techniques for large-scale structured optimization problems, in particular (but not exclusively) decomposition methods.

For further information, do not hesitate to contact Antonio Frangioni <frangio@unipi.it>. Thank you in advance for circulating this announcement to all who may be potentially interested.

[DMANET] Post Doc position on Graph Kernels

Good morning,

We offer a post position in Rouen, France, to work on the definition of
new graph kernels dealing with electronic characteristics of molecules.

Contact postdoc-graphkernel@litislab.fr for any questions.


Best regards,

Benoit Gaüzère.

Brief Description of the position


Graph kernels have already been applied to chemoinformatics and are
based on structural information encoded within molecular
graphs. However, intrinsic properties of atoms and theirs
interactions induce some electronic properties which are not
explicitly encoded within classic molecular graphs
representations. The main purpose of this post doctoral position
is to include this information into a new augmented kernel and
apply it on some chemoinformatics datasets. The two main steps
will be i) to define a new molecular representation encoding
local electronic information and ii) to define a new similarity
measure as a kernel to compare two molecules encoded in the new
proposed representation.

This project will be supervised in close collaboration by
LITIS (Rouen, France) and GREYC (Caen, France) laboratories which
have a strong expertise on graph kernels for
chemoinformatics. The chemical part will be supervised by COBRA
laboratory (Rouen, France) which has proposed various atomic
descriptors encoding some electronical information. Their
expertise will be essential to be able to encode additional
information into a new representation for chemical compounds.

Salary: This position will be granted with about 2280 euros/month
net salary.

Application domains: machine learning on graphs, chemoinformatics,
graph kernels, graph representations

Further details:

Place: The research will be conducted at LITIS Laboratory (Rouen, France)
in Normandy. The LITIS (EA 4108) is affiliated to Normandie
University, University of Rouen and INSA Rouen Normandie.

Start date: September 2018
Duration: 15 months

Topics: Graph kernels, graph representation, machine learning

Contact:

You can contact the team via : postdoc-graphkernel@litislab.fr

Required skills:

• PhD or Master in Applied Mathematics or computer science,
• experience in C++, Python or Matlab programming,
• knowledge in kernel methods, graph based approach constitutes an
advantage.

Required documents: Please send the following documents:

• up to date CV,
• Any recommendation letter
• A short document on research experience and interests

"Operational Research" (OR) is the discipline of applying advanced
analytical methods to help make better decisions. By using techniques
such as problem structuring methods and mathematical modelling to
analyze complex situations, Operational Research gives executives the
power to make more effective decisions and build more productive

[DMANET] CfP: 1st International Workshop on Optimization in Modern Computing Systems (OptiMoCS 2018)

Call for Papers

1st International Workshop on Optimization in Modern Computing Systems
(OptiMoCS 2018)

Co-located with ESOCC 2018 - the 7th European Conference on
Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing
12th September 2018, Como (Italy)
Paper submission deadline: 14th July 2018
https://sites.google.com/site/optimocs2018


Background
----------

Modern computing paradigms (e.g., service-oriented computing, cloud
computing, edge and fog computing, mobile computing, network function
virtualization) allow the construction, deployment, and operation of
systems of ever larger scale and complexity. Such systems must satisfy
several important, often contradicting, quantifiable goals. Metrics of
interest include performance, consumption of computing and network
resources, energy consumption, and financial costs. Optimization of these
goals is an important concern in the design and operation of many different
systems, leading to challenging optimization problems. Improved algorithms
for these problems directly translate to more effective and more efficient
systems.

Objectives
----------

The workshop aims to provide a platform for discussing recent work on
optimization in modern computing systems. By focusing on optimization as a
domain- and technology-independent concern, synergies between different
domains and technologies can be identified and used. In particular, the
optimization of different systems gives rise to similar challenges, e.g.,
with respect to search space explosion, handling uncertainties, multiple
objectives, or soft constraints. The workshop will foster the discussion on
possible approaches to such challenges and the transfer of ideas between
different technical domains.

Topics of interest
------------------

The workshop solicits papers that address either general optimization
techniques that are relevant to the optimization of modern computing
systems, or specific optimization problems and approaches in the
optimization of modern computing systems. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:

* Optimization problems in
- Service-oriented computing
- Cloud computing
- Edge and fog computing
- Mobile computing
- Internet of Things
- Network function virtualization
- Business process management
* Optimization techniques
- Exact algorithms
- Heuristics, meta-heuristics
- Approximation algorithms
- Mathematical programming methods
- Matheuristics
* Evaluation of optimization approaches
- Formal quality guarantees
- Systematic empirical studies
- Probabilistic and statistical approaches
- Case studies of real-world applications of optimization
- Comparison of different algorithms
* Further concerns relating to optimization
- Multi-objective optimization
- Handling uncertainty
- Quantifying quality attributes like security, privacy, or dependability
- Quality assurance, verification and validation of optimization
algorithms

Submission guidelines
---------------------

Original, high-quality papers are solicited, from researchers and
practitioners alike. Both full papers (maximum 15 pages) and short papers
(maximum 8 pages) will be considered. All papers must be written in English
and follow Springer's LNCS formatting instructions and templates. Submitted

***** DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIAL SESSIONS *****

* Special Session on Distributed Simulations of Distributed Systems *

Distributed simulation (DS) is a valuable tool for understanding and
evaluating distributed systems. The current computing trend sees businesses
and individuals moving toward a more centralized infrastructure, namely the
cloud. On the one hand, as the computing infrastructure at data centers is
highly complex and distributed, DS becomes essential for diagnosing and
gaining insights of the system. On the other hand, the scale and nature of
interaction between different components in the cloud present new
challenges and push DS's state of the art.

Another computing trend that has potential to drive DS is
internet-of-things. Such complex systems consist of a large number of
autonomous, heterogeneous devices communicating with one another in
non-uniform manner. DS is valuable not only for discerning system
properties but also for predicting the devices' emergent behavior. Finally,
users in online social networks make up large distributed systems. Insights
of user interaction and the network's collective behavior --- the study of
which fits well into the realm of DS --- bring significant value to both
the society and the business of social network providers.

This special session seeks to bring together experts and practitioners in
the domain of DS to discuss new opportunities and challenges for DS. We
welcome research papers on both theoretical and empirical issues.

Web page: http://ds-rt.com/2018/dsimdsys_2018.htm

* Special Session on Agent-based Modeling and Simulation *

This special session focuses on general aspects and special properties for
agent-based modeling and simulations that allows them to be applied on
several scientific domains, such as sociology, physics, chemistry, biology,
ecology, and economy. The session is intended to bring together researchers
and practitioners, so they can present the current status of their work and
discuss the challenges they face in developing solutions and applications
for agent-based simulations. Consequently, the design of these simulations
aims not only to social contexts but also to more technical domains, which
involves highly complex interactive systems.

Web page: http://ds-rt.com/2018/abms_2018.htm

* Special Session on Simulation of Urban Traffic Management and ITS *

This special session focuses on simulation tools and real-time simulation
applications used in and for evaluation, management, and design of
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), as well as Smart Cities. Such
simulations are expected to offer prediction and on-the-flow feedback for
the better decision-making, bringing up means for both the implementation
of more complex traffic management systems and end-user applications.
Off-line and real-time analyses of data collected from infrastructured
systems (e.g. real-time traffic information), mobile, distributed
technologies (e.g. communication devices), and socially-build systems (e.g.
social networks applications) are of great interest for shaping and
influencing how ITS solutions are designed. Thus, we are particularly
interested in how these data and technologies can be incorporated in
domain-related models and simulations. We aim to bring together experts
from both industry and academia to discuss the challenges related to
modelling and simulation for ITS.

[DMANET] CFP: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Serious Games

[Apologies for multiple copies]

EAI Endorsed Transactions on Serious Games
Editor(s)-in-Chief: Ombretta Gaggi
http://eudl.eu/issue/sg/4/15

CALL FOR PAPERS

Games are structured contexts where players have clear objectives,
with victory as the end goal. In a game, players must solve problems,
overcome challenges and face opponents (real or game characters) but
always respecting a clearly-defined set of rules. Failure to follow
these rules implies a punishment or penalty. Games can involve one
player acting alone, two or more players acting cooperatively, or
players or teams of players competing between themselves.
Computer games are played through a computer, on a standalone or
networked form. Games are highly interactive products that keep the
player in a state of focused motivation, or "flow" as defined by
Csikszentmihalyi. The player is always on the edge of his/her
abilities, with the permanent feeling that he/she is about to reach
the goal, about to go to the next level.
This motivates the player to try, to give his/her best and to evolve.
Serious Games are not designed for the sole purpose of entertainment
but rather with training, educational, marketing or awareness raising
objectives. These games are designed with the main goal of creating a
skill development context for the player while retaining the same
focused motivation context of "fun" games.
The player must perform tasks, analyze processes and draw conclusions
in order to increase his/her productivity and knowledge in the
framework of the game positive and negative feedback, sometimes
representing risks or a series of events that, in real life, would be
negative or even fatal. This type of games is used in numerous areas
like engineering, health, education, defense, military, emergency
management, and scientific exploration, among many others.
