[DMANET] CEC 2019 Special Session on Theory of Bio-Inspired Computation

================================================================
CEC 2019 Special Session on Theory of Bio-Inspired Computation
================================================================

CALL FOR PAPERS

================
I. MOTIVATION
================

The area of runtime analysis for bio-inspired computing techniques such as evolutionary algorithms and ant colony optimisation provides new insights into the working behaviour of these methods for solving optimisation problems. The theoretical analysis of these algorithms includes studying the runtime complexity with respect to the input size and/or other parameters of the instance of the problem until reaching an optimal or approximate solution of the problem. Rigorous analysis of these algorithms help us in designing more efficient algorithms. Moreover, investigating the effect of different parameters of the studied algorithms lead to more efficient parameter tuning for these algorithms. Furthermore, studying the theoretical behaviour of bio-inspired algorithms with respect to the characteristics of the studied problem is beneficial in choosing the right algorithm for solving each instance of the problem.

The purpose of this special session is to bring together people working on theoretical analysis of bio-inspired computing techniques. We aim to provide a forum for the researchers in this field to discuss the latest outcomes and new directions in the theory of bio-inspired algorithms.

=========
II. SCOPE
=========

The authors are invited to submit papers on original contributions in the area of theoretical analysis of bi-inspired computation techniques. The scope of this special session includes (but is not limited to) the following topics:

* Theoretical foundations of bio-inspired heuristics
* Exact and approximation runtime analysis
* Parametrized complexity analysis
* Black box complexity
* Self-adaptation
* Population diversity
* Population dynamics
* Fitness landscape and problem difficulty analysis
* All problem domains will be considered including:
* combinatorial and continuous optimization
* single-objective and multi-objective optimization
* constraint handling
* dynamic and stochastic optimization
* co-evolution and evolutionary learning


=============
III. SUBMISSION
=============

You should follow the IEEE CEC 2019 submission website.<http://cec2019.org/papers.html#submission> On the submission system select "CEC-21, Special Session on Theory of Bio-inspired Computation" as "Main Research Topic".

[DMANET] The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019)

WPDM 2019


The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019)
http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2019/

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Third Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) will be held in conjunction with The 19th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2019), http://www.iccsa.org


Saint Petersburg University, Saint Petersburg, Russia July 1-4 2019


Final submission Deadline: February 17, 2019


SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES

The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics.

The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

- Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP
- Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators
- Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA
- Distributed data mining algorithms
- Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications
- Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining
- Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware
- Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining
- Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining

PhD position in algebraic algorithms in games and optimization

A PhD position is available in the joint INRIA, CNRS, and Sorbonne
Université (LIP6) team PolSys (https://polsys.lip6.fr/) in Paris. The
position is funded by the ANR JCJC program
GALOP (Games through the lens of ALgebra and OPtimization).


Scientific context:

Semidefinite programming (SDP) extends linear programming and has
become a fundamental ingredient in polynomial and combinatorial
optimization, complexity theory, game theory, quantum computing,
control, signal processing, and computational finance. The standard
tool to solve SDP problems is interior point methods. One of the
current challenges is to exploit the underlying algebraic formulation
to cope with the reliability issues of SDP and deduce more efficient
algorithms. For such a task, we should exploit the algebraic and
geometric structure of the polynomial systems that correspond to the
optimization problem. With these algebraic and optimization tools, we
can study the complexity of special classes of (continuous) stochastic
games and obtain precise bounds.

We invite applications for a full-time PhD position for three years at
the intersection of algebraic algorithms, optimization, and
theoretical computer science, with a view towards applications in game
theory.

A successful PhD candidate will work on one, or on a combination, of
the following topics:
- Deduce efficient algorithms and precise complexity and degree bounds
for important classes of stochastic games based on algebraic
formulations.
- Exploit the algebraic formulation of SDP to deal with
reliability issues.
- Exploit the structure of polynomial systems, for example
multi-homogeneity, sparsity, symmetry, properties of determinantal
varieties, to introduce improved algorithms for Groebner basis
and/or solving.
- Provide an efficient and certified open-source software for real
solving univariate polynomials and polynomial systems.


Profile:

- MSc in computer science or (applied) mathematics.
- Strong background in algorithms, knowledge of complexity theory.
- Skills in a programming language like C or C++ is a definitely plus.
- High command of written and oral language.
- Ability to work in a team.


Application:

The application should include:
- Letter of interest.
- Scientific CV.
- Contact information of two references (Title, Name, organization, e-mail).

The starting date of the PhD is expected to be early 2019 or soon after.


Potential candidates should send their application or questions
by the end of December 2018 to Elias Tsigaridas (elias.tsigaridas@inria.fr).

to factory automation, smart healthcare and environmental monitoring. In
order for smart sensor systems to truly become useful and pervasive, we
need to address a number of research challenges, including the tight
integration of sensing and machine intelligence, reliable and efficient
networking, interoperability and scalability, the need for dependable
autonomy, interaction with humans, and important aspects of security,
privacy and trust. DCOSS focuses on distributed information processing
issues arising in networked sensor systems, covering aspects of
high-level abstractions, models and languages, novel algorithms and
applications, system design approaches and architectures, as well as
tools for simulated and real deployments.

Potential authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts
that demonstrate recent advances in both theoretical and experimental
research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Edge and fog computing: distributed computing models from sensor to cloud
- Energy harvesting models and optimization
- Machine intelligence in distributed sensor systems and real time analytics
- Communication and networking primitives and protocols
- Autonomy: closing the loop between sensing and actuation
- Task allocation, reprogramming, and reconfiguration
- Robustness, resilience and dependability
- Security and privacy issues
- Approaches, tools, and experience of deployment and operation
- Performance analysis: complexity, correctness, scalability
- Mobile and human-centered sensing
- Interoperability, heterogeneity and scalability
- Crowd sensing and social sensing techniques, applications, and systems
- Complex systems comprising wearable, robotic and/or fixed sensor systems
- Novel and compelling applications

[DMANET] CFP IEEE/IFIP Man2Block 2019 - 3 weeks to submit a paper !

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

IEEE/IFIP Man2Block 2019
International Workshop on Managing and Managed by Blockchain

Co-located with IFIP/IEEE IM 2019, 12 April 2019, Washington DC, USA

https://man2block.inria.fr

Paper submission: December 15, 2018
Notification to authors: January 25, 2019
Camera ready: February 8, 2019
Workshop date: April 12, 2019

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

Blockchains and their ecosystem are growing at a high pace. Starting from Bitcoin,
there exist by now numerous blockchain approaches and applications, with new ones
appearing every month. Although many of these innovations reside in cryptographic
research and developments, at first blockchains are distributed systems.
The underlying infrastructure is blindly leveraged by blockchains, whereas this
arises serious concerns in terms of scalability, quality-of-service, security,
and fault tolerance. Indeed, monitoring and configuring such a distributed system
without or with a loosely control is naturally difficult. Also, a full understanding
and prediction of expected performance before a real deployment at large scale
is vital from a technical and business operations perspective.

Furthermore, a blockchain also serves as a potential candidate to ease network
and service management. Indeed, many services over the Internet rely on
pre-established
trust among entities, which is hard to maintain at a large scale and which is, thus,
the sources of many malfunctioning or targets of attacks. Among them are naming
services,
distributed cloud management, resource sharing, PKI management, or distributed policy
management and accountability within a softwarized network architecture.

Man2Block 2019 is a dedicated venue for bringing together students, researchers
and practitioners from academia and industry who share common interests in the
management and the use of the blockchain infrastructure and smart contracts in
network, system, service operations and management. Theoretical approaches,
practical experimentations and papers highlighting future trends and challenges
are welcomed.

Authors are invited to submit original contributions (full and short papers)
that fall into the following list of topics of interest (not exhaustive):
- Blockchain infrastructure management
- Security of blockchains
- Monitoring and configuration of blockchains
- Blockchains anomaly detection
- Resource provisioning for blockchains
- Blockchain QoS and QoE
- Blockchain large-scale experimentation
- Smart contracts and their management
- Blockchain auditing
- Blockchain threat assessment
- Privacy and anonymity in blockchains
- PKI for blockchains
- Blockchain simulation and evaluation methodologies
- Blockchain analytics
- Blockchains attack design and mitigation
- Blockchain architectures

================================================================================
Venue: Man2Block will be held in conjunction with IFIP/IEEE International Symposium
on Integrated Network Management (IM) 2019 in Washington DC, USA, 12 April 2019

Submission Instructions: Authors are invited to submit original,
unpublished works for publication in the IEEE IM 2019 proceedings and for
presentation in the workshop. Papers under review elsewhere must not be
submitted to the workshop. Submissions must be in IEEE 2-column style and have a
maximum length of 6 pages (full paper) or 4 pages (short paper). The accepted
papers will be submitted for publication in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
Papers will be withdrawn from IEEE Xplore in case the authors do not present
their paper at the workshop Submissions must be made in PDF format via:
https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/home.cgi?c=3193

[DMANET] YEP XV: “Information diffusion on random graphs”, Eindhoven, March 25 – 29 2019

Dear colleagues,
We are happy to announce the workshop YEP XV: "Information diffusion on random graphs", to be held at Eurandom, Eindhoven, on March 25 – 29 2019. You can find all information regarding the workshop at website: "Information diffusion on random graphs"<https://www.eurandom.tue.nl/event/yep-xv-information-diffusion-on-random-networks/>
Description of the workshop: This YEP workshop focuses diffusion processes on networks, which manifest themselves in many real-life scenarios, such as epidemic spreading, viral marketing and power blackouts. The phenomenon of information diffusion recently attracted vast attention across a wide range of research fields, including mathematics, physics, computer science, and social sciences. Therefore, this YEP will focus not only on purely probabilistic aspects, but also take an algorithmic and application perspective. The aim of the workshop is to bring together junior and senior researchers from probability and from other fields, and to bridge the corresponding scientific communities.
The workshop will have three mini courses by Frank Ball, Mia Deijfen and Renaud Lambiotte. Other than that, the workshop will consist of invited talks as well as contributed talks.
Abstract submission: If you would like to apply a contributed talk, you can submit your abstract during registration.
Registration: You are encouraged to register early. To register, please visit the conference website: "Information diffusion on random graphs"<https://www.eurandom.tue.nl/event/yep-xv-information-diffusion-on-random-networks/>.
Funding: For this workshop, we have some budget to cover accommodation expenses, especially for young participants with limited resources. For more information, see the website<https://www.eurandom.tue.nl/event/yep-xv-information-diffusion-on-random-networks/>.
With kind regards,
