[DMANET] ISAIM-2020 CALL FOR PAPERS

Dear Colleagues,
This January we will celebrate the 30-year anniversary of the
International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics
(ISAIM). I would like to personally invite you and your colleagues to come
and participate. Attached is the CALL FOR PAPERS.

Besides submitting regular papers, we would be happy to receive proposals
for
organizing a special session. ISAIM is a great opportunity to
gather working groups to start (or finish) new research papers and
collaborations. These proposals should be sent to me.
Best wishes, Marty Golumbic

============
ISAIM-2020 – Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (Jan. 6-8, 2020)

http://isaim2020.cs.ou.edu/ <http://isaim2020.cs.ou.edu/>

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 will be the sixteenth Symposium in the series, sponsored by Florida
Atlantic University and the 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.

Work that will have been published as of January 2020 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 elsewhere 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 an archival 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unpublished to be considered for the special volume.

*PAPER SUBMISSIONS*

The Paper Submissions <http://isaim2020.cs.ou.edu/submissions.html> link
with instructions on how to submit a paper will be available starting
August 18 at http://isaim2020.cs.ou.edu/

[DMANET] CFP: ApPLIED Workshop - in conjunction with DISC 2019 - Deadline Extension

===============================================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS - DEADLINE EXTENSION
===============================================================================

ApPLIED: Workshop on Advanced tools, programming languages, and PLatforms for
Implementing and Evaluating algorithms for Distributed systems --
held in conjunction with DISC 2019.

Homepage: http://bit.ly/ApPLIED2019 <http://bit.ly/ApPLIED2019>

===============================================================================
SCOPE
===============================================================================

Designers wishing to implement and evaluate distributed algorithms in practical
settings are often faced with challenging questions regarding the transformation
from design to a working prototype. For example, what language should be used?
What library or tool should be used for communication between processes? On
which platform should the algorithms be implemented and evaluated? What
trade-offs should be taken, e.g., choose a freely available setting with
moderate maintenance or an expensive but developer-friendly one?

Context is also important. Some design assumptions might not be feasible or
affordable to implement in practice while certain considerations might be
irrelevant. In other words, some important issues in theory might not be
important in practice, whereas some practical obstacles deserve more attention
and analysis.

===============================================================================
DATES
===============================================================================

Full Papers Submission: August 11, 2019 (AOE).

Acceptance Notification: September 5, 2019.

Camera Ready version: September 10, 2019.

===============================================================================
TOPICS
===============================================================================

limited to:

* Languages, libraries, platforms, and tools for distributed algorithms and
systems, addressing correctness, performance, ease of use, and result
reproducibility.

* Processes from designing an algorithm to developing a prototype implementation
suitable for running on real systems.

* Success stories of experimental evaluation of distributed algorithms, e.g.,
for classical and blockchain consensus, resulted in new analytical and practical

[DMANET] PhD Thesis CNRS "From tiling theory to biological fibers"

Dear all,

We have a PhD Thesis supported by the CNRS on the topic "From tiling theory
to biological fibers" directed by Laurent Vuillon at University of Savoie
Mont Blanc (LAMA lab.) and by Claire Lesieur at Lyon (IXXI and ampère
labs).

https://emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/Doctorant/UMR5127-LAUVUI-001/Default.aspx?lang=EN

The project investigates the relationships between the geometrical
constraints and the dynamics of a system. The case study is the transition,
induced by an amino acid mutation, of a protein oligomer to a protein
fiber, transition, associated with many diseases (e.g. Alzheimer, type II
diabetes, Parkinson, etc.). To model the fiber, the project is divided in
three steps, each associated with a scale relevant to the problem. First,
the amino acids and interactions affected by the mutation are identified
using a network at the local scale of amino acids. These residues
constitute the new interface required for the fiber. Second, the
interactions between proteins within the interface domain in the fiber are
modeled using a network at the scale of the interface. Finally, the last
scale is the fiber whose construction is modeled using a tiling model. The
combination of both network and tiling models allows reconciling all
experimental data on fiber formation because tiling takes into account a
scale uncovers by networks.

The PhD student will investigate the construction of biological fibers in
general and validate the 3 scale procedure on many real biological fibers.
Thus we are looking for a student trained in mathematics and in particular
in network topology, statistical learning and tiling theory. The student
will consider for example the p53 case whose oligomer has special symmetry,
the ure2p, which combines disordered and structured domains and the
synuclein, which is a disordered protein. In the two last cases, the
network approach will be limited and the student will have to use
information on the fiber properties gathered by the analysis of the fiber
database combined with experimental data on the fiber to investigate the
scale 3 as a first step. Thus the network approach will come after the
global fiber scale, and it will be based more on experimental data of amino
acid contacts and basic geometrical constraints from 2D and 3D interactions
in proteins. The sequences of the proteins will be investigated in terms of
first neighbors to try to design a network of interactions that respond to
some mathematical invariant properties based on our database of amino acid
neighborhoods. This will be a challenging task but will completely
generalize the procedure to any case.

Best regards
Laurent Vuillon

[DMANET] HIGHLIGHTS 2019: Registration is open!

The programme is online and registration is open!
Deadline for early bird registration: 31 August.

HIGHLIGHTS 2019: 7th annual conference on Highlights of LOGIC, GAMES, and
AUTOMATA

17-20 September 2019, Warsaw
http://highlights-conference.org

HIGHLIGHTS 2019 is the seventh conference on Highlights of Logic, Games and
Automata that aims at integrating the community working in these fields.
Papers from these areas are dispersed across many conferences, which makes
them difficult to follow. A visit to the Highlights conference should offer
a wide picture of the latest research in the field and a chance to meet
everybody in the community, not just those who happen to publish in one
particular proceedings volume.

The conference is short (from 18 September to the mid-day on 20 September)
and it is preceded by the Highlights Tutorial Day (17 September). The
participation costs are modest and Warsaw is easy to reach.

SCOPE:
Representative areas include, but are not restricted to:
+ logic and finite model theory
+ automata theory
+ games for logic and verification

The distributed and parallel computing group at Augusta University School
of Computer and Cyber Sciences (https://www.augusta.edu/ccs/) seeks several
postdocs starting in Fall 2019. The group is led by Bogdan Chlebus, Dariusz
Kowalski and Alexander Schwarzmann, and focuses on both theory and its
application to distributed systems. Among the priority directions is the
cybersecurity aspect of distributed and parallel computing. PhD students
who expect to graduate within a year are also encouraged to apply.

The CSS school is located in the Georgia Cyber Center (
https://www.gacybercenter.org/), a $100 M facility which is "the single
largest investment in a cybersecurity facility by a state government to
date.'' The Georgia Cyber Center seeks to prove the USA with a "decisive
advantage in cyberspace,'' by means of a unique
industry-government-academia partnership. The Georgia Cyber Center hosts
companies involved in cybersecurity work, and together with the US Army
Cyber Command headquartered in Fort Gordon, Augusta, (
https://www.arcyber.army.mil/) and local academia, provides a unique
ecosystem where challenge problems from military and industry feed into
academic research, and research results feed back into industry and
government practice.
