[DMANET] Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: PhD Position in Combinatorial Optimization at Paris Research Center of Huawei and Paris-Dauphine University

A PhD position is available in combinatorial optimization at Paris
Research Center of Huawei (Paris) and University Paris-Dauphine.

Title: Data Driven Optimization in Telecommunication Networks

Supervisors: Dr. Fabio FURINI, Pr. Ali Ridha MAHJOUB and Dr. Sebastien MARTIN

Keywords: optimization, telecommunication networks, mathematical programming, exact
algorithms, data driven approaches

Abstract: Modern Telecommunication Networks are extremely complex systems in which hard
combinatorial optimization problems must be effectively solved in short computing time.
This thesis will focus on rich multi-commodity flow problems arising in telecommunication
networks with complex demand satisfaction constraints. The primary goal will be to develop
a mathematical optimization tool to face peaks and anomalies in traffic demands.
Such problems are crucial in the identification of the weaknesses of the telecommunication
networks. Thus the results of the thesis will provide an effective optimization tool
to protect and make more efficient these networks. More in details, taking in consideration
demand peaks and anomalies is crucial in finding an optimal load balance of the traffic
through the network. We plan to develop exact and effective solution methodologies based
on a deep mathematical understanding of the underlying problem. The new algorithms will be
based on effective decomposition techniques such as the Benders and Dantzig-Wolfe
decompositions which will lead to branch-and-cut and branch-and-price algorithms.
The novelty of the thesis will be in the development of an alternative method to balance
the traffic flow in the networks with the goal of effectively absorbing anomalies and demand peaks.

The thesis will be developed in the Mathematical and Algorithmic Sciences Lab,
Paris Research Center of Huawei and in Paris-Dauphine University. The focus is on
the development of scientific results concerning theory and methodology which may be
of interest for the mathematical optimization community. A special attention will be given
to the publication of the results in the top journals of the domain (like
Mathematical Programming, Operation Research as well as top telecommunication conferences
like INFOCOM).

The PhD grant will be funded at Huawei France Research Center (FRC) located in Boulogne-Billancourt,

******************************

We kindly invite you to participate at the second ICALP satellite
workshop "Algorithmic Aspects of Temporal Graphs II" which will be held
during ICALP 2019 in Patras (Greece) on Monday 8 July 2019. In this
one-day workshop, recent advances in the area of temporal / dynamically
changing graphs will be presented, as well as some of the key challenges
will be highlighted.

A participant can register only to the workshop (Monday 8 July), or to
both the workshop and the conference (Monday 8 July to Friday 12 July).

Full information about the registration to the workshop and/or the
conference (ICALP 2019), as well as about accommodation, is given here:

- Paul G. Spirakis (University of Liverpool, UK)
- Eleni C. Akrida (University of Liverpool, UK)
- Viktor Zamaraev (Durham University, UK)

******************************

Topic:
In modern systems the classical modeling paradigm using static graphs
may be restrictive or oversimplifying, as the interactions among the
elementary system units usually change over time in a highly dynamic
manner. For example, friendships are added and removed over time in a
social network and links in a communication network may change
dynamically, either according to a specific known pattern (satellites
following a trajectory) or in an unpredictable manner (mobile ad hoc
networks). The common characteristic in all these application areas is
that the system structure, i.e. graph topology, is subject to discrete
changes over time. In such dynamically changing graphs the notion of
vertex adjacency needs to be revisited and various graph concepts, e.g.
reachability and connectedness, now crucially depend on the exact
temporal ordering of the edges' presence.

A temporal graph is a graph that changes over time. Assuming discrete
time and a fixed set V of vertices, a temporal graph can be viewed as a
discrete sequence G1, G2, ... of static graphs, each with vertex set V.
Many notions and algorithms from the static case can be naturally
transferred in a meaningful way to their temporal counterpart, while in
other cases new approaches are needed to define the appropriate temporal
notions. In particular, some problems become radically different and
substantially more difficult when the time dimension is additionally
taken into account.

In this one-day workshop, recent advances in the area of temporal /
dynamically changing graphs will be presented, as well as some of the
key challenges will be highlighted. As this research area grows and
broadens, our aim is to bring together people from theoretical and
practical communities of temporal graphs in order to establish new and
strengthen existing links between these communities.

Presentations are given by invitation only. Everyone is welcome to
register and attend.

Special Section: Advances in Intelligent Transportation Systems in Smart Cities

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Network

2017 Impact Factor : 1.787

Deadline for manuscript submissions: June 30, 2019

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) comprise the union of several technologies with the aim of providing comprehensive optimization of the urban mobility of a city and bringing greater safety to drivers, as well as comfort and entertainment for passengers. As a result, ITS employ data, communication, and computing to provide services and applications for tackling and possibly solving a wide range of transportation problems in modern large cities. These applications rely on the collaboration between elements that integrate urban and transportation systems, such as sensors, mobile devices, and vehicles, for introducing real-time awareness of the environment. The appropriate junction of all these factors considerably contributes to the sensing and gathering of data for evaluation and later implementation of due responses by a control system.

Due to the dynamic nature of entities in ITS, it offers a diverse set of challenges including, but not limited to, interoperability, high mobility, decentralization, anonymity, security, privacy, trust management, uncertainty, and pervasiveness. Besides these challenges, several issues like scalability, reliability, adaptability, and validity of available solutions are still unexplored.

This Special Collection is expected to provide a platform for academics and industrial researchers to identify and debate technical problems and recent accomplishments associated with ITS. Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

* Architecture, resource management and applications

* Leveraging Fog Computing (Edge Computing)

* Design challenges for protocol development in ITS

* ITS security and privacy

* Smart-cities-based Machine Learning;

* Intelligent data mining and forecasting;

* Multi-agent systems applications;

* Inteligent structural engineering;

* Computer graphics and performability;

* Blockchain and remote sensing;

* Ubiquitous computing;

* Fuzzy logic and emerging applications in smart IoT/Cloud paradigms;

* Designing energy efficient Road Side Units (RSUs)

* Quality of Service (QoS) in ITS

* Smart and connected vehicles: V2V; V2I V2X

* Cloud based VANETs

* Vehicular Cloud

* Demand responsive smart vehicles

* Detection, recognition, and classification of traffic

* Vehicle location and event prediction

*IOTSMS 2019 CFP*

The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers unprecedented opportunities
to interconnect human beings as well as Machine-to-Machine (M2M), whereby
sensors and networks allow all 'things' to communicate directly with each
other to share vital information allowing us to have an instrumented
universe where accurate data is readily available to inform optimal
decision making. The IoT is about to enable a range of new capabilities and
services far beyond today's offerings. It will fundamentally change how
people go about their lives. According to Gartner, the number of objects
connected to the Internet is set to reach 20 billion by 2020. Cisco
estimates the number will be close to 26 billion objects by 2020. Others
believe the actual number will be even higher with the assumption that any
object with a simple micro controller and on-off switch will be connected
to the Internet in the near feature. The scale of the IoT is set to have a
major economic, social and environmental impacts; the intersection of which
forms the future sustainable growth. The IEEE Internet of Things: Systems,
Management and Security (IoTSMS 2019) aims at soliciting original ideas on
the broad area of IoT including challenges and opportunities, concepts and
applications and future trends. The IoTSMS aims to facilitate discussions
among academics and IoT practitioners and make positive contributions to
the field. Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished manuscripts.
Submitted papers should be in accordance with IEEE format, and will be
reviewed by at least two expert reviewers in terms of relevance,
originality, contribution, correctness, and presentation.

[DMANET] Doctoral Program in the Area of Constraints (Part of CP'19)

Dear all,

I would like to bring to your attention the doctoral program of the constraint programming conference, CP'19<http://cp2019.a4cp.org/>. This is a one-day event targeting PhD students in the area of constraints in the broadest sense. It is part of the main conference, which takes place in Stamford (Connecticut, US) from the 30th of September to the 4th of October. We have financial support for students. We believe the doctoral program is a fantastic experience for PhD students and a great opportunity to network with the community. Please consider applying and/or forwarding this email to others! You may find the call below.

CP 2019 Call for Submissions to the Doctoral Program

The Doctoral Program (DP) of the CP conference<http://cp2019.a4cp.org/> is open to all students doing research on constraints and related topics, including students that participated in previous DPs. The aim is to gather (student) researchers, discuss ongoing work in a relaxed atmosphere, and provide an opportunity for students to interact with experienced researchers through a mentoring program. Participating students are eligible to apply for financial support, which covers the conference registration, reduced cost shared accommodation, and a social dinner.

The program is a full-day event at the conference. It includes presentations of student papers, a poster session for all CP attendees, mentorship by a senior researcher, and lastly a DP dinner at the end of the day.

Important Dates:

July 14, 2019 - Paper submission deadline

July 19, 2019 - Financial support request deadline

August 1, 2019 - Notification

August 31, 2019 - Camera-ready version for online proceedings

September 30, 2019 - Doctoral program

Submission Instructions

We invite students in the area of constraints, in the broadest sense, to apply. The submitted paper should contain work that is primarily the work of the student. It can be work in progress, completed work, or recently published work.

Students may submit either:

- An (ongoing) research paper. The paper should include the motivation of the work and provide technical details.

- A summary of their research / PhD topic.

Submissions must be no longer than eight pages, not including references. Shorter papers are welcome. Students with a paper accepted to the main conference are encouraged to take the second option, whilst other students are encouraged to take the first option.

The submission format is the same as for the main conference (Springer LNCS

https://www.springer.com/gb/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines). The author list must clearly specify the main student author along with advisors and co-authors. Submissions are required to be in PDF format. The paper is submitted through EasyChair,

[https://images.springer.com/cda/content/image/cda_displayimage.jpg?SGWID=0-0-16-2208184-0]<https://www.springer.com/gb/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines>
Conference Proceedings guidelines | Springer<https://www.springer.com/gb/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines>
www.springer.com
Below you will find Springer's guidelines and technical instructions for the preparation of contributions to be published in one of the following seri

https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=dpcp19 by selecting "New Submission".

Financial Support

Participants of the doctoral program may apply for financial support, which covers the conference registration, reduced cost shared accommodation, and a social dinner.

To request financial support, please send a mail to ciaran.mccreesh@glasgow.ac.uk and emir.demirovic@unimelb.edu.au no later than July 19, 2019, with your advisor in CC, containing:

Your name and affiliation.

Title and ID of your submission.

Name of your advisor (he/she should be in CC of the email as well).

A PDF containing: a short motivation of your request (is it primarily your

work, how can the support help you and your lab, optionally whether the support

is essential for participating in the conference) and the signature of you and your adviser

We have funding to fully support up to 20 students. This will be allocated based on the motivation of the request, and in case of ties on the quality of the submitted work.

Doctoral Program

Review Training

Each participant will be assigned to review one of the submitted papers to the DP. The aim is to develop reviewing skills by reviewing the work of others and receiving feedback from other researchers. In addition, each student will receive comments on their own reviews. The explicit goal is to foster a positive review culture, as this is often overlooked in the CS community.

Presentation

Students will present their work in 10-minute presentations. The goal is to motivate the research and advertise their work for the poster session.

Invited Talks

TBA

Poster Session

Students of the DP are advised to prepare A0 portrait posters.

Social Dinner

A free dinner will be organised on the evening of the doctoral program, open to all students of the doctoral program, the doctoral program invited speakers, and chairs.

More details about the program will be given in due course.

Doctoral Program Chairs

Emir Demirović <emir.demirovic@unimelb.edu.au>, University of Melbourne, Australia.

Ciaran McCreesh <ciaran.mccreesh@glasgow.ac.uk>, University of Glasgow, Scotland.

Feel free to contact the doctoral program chairs if you have any further questions.

Best,

Emir
