# SUBMISSIONS
All submissions must be original and unpublished. Accepted papers will
be published by ACM and disseminated through the ACM Digital Library.

Authors Take Note: A new policy by ACM will allow DEBS 2020 to make the
proceedings available ahead of the conference via the ACM Digital
Library. Thus, the official publication date is the date the
proceedings appear in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to
two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official
publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to
published work.

The conference adopts a double-blind review process for the research
track, where neither authors nor reviewers know each other's
identities. This means that papers must not list or otherwise identify
the authors. References to previous work should be done in the third
person as to not reveal the identities of the authors. Research track
submissions that are not anonymous may be rejected without review.

Research Track papers must be no longer than 12 pages. The authors of
accepted papers will be given a choice between different copyright
agreements, in accordance with the recent changes in the ACM policy.
The options will include new opportunities for open access as well as
the traditional ACM copyright agreement. Papers can be submitted via
HotCRP (PDF files only). Submissions to the research track will be
evaluated by a Research Program Committee.
https://debs2020.hotcrp.com/

Submitted papers are required to adhere to the two columns "sigconf"
ACM conference proceeding style. Templates and examples in LaTeX and
various versions of Microsoft Word are available for download from the

[DMANET] 2020 IFORS Conference: Second Call for Sessions on EMO

Dear colleague,

The 22nd Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS 2020) will be held on June 21-26, 2020 in Seoul, South Korea.http://www.ifors2020.kr/

Interested in organizing one or more sessions on the "Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization (EMO)" stream at IFORS? We welcome session proposals within the scope of EMO including:
* Applications of EMO to continuous, combinatorial or mixed-integer problems
* Many-objective optimization
* Hybridization with exact methods
* Multi-objective Local search and other multi-objective metaheuristics, such as Ant Colony Optimization, Particle Swarm Optimization, Estimation of Distribution Algorithms, etc.
* Preference handling and MCDM techniques in EMO and interactive approaches
* Constraint handling techniques
* Parallel EMO
* Performance assessment and benchmarking
* Automatic algorithm selection, configuration and design
* Data-driven and bayesian optimization and other applications of evolutionary machine learning
* Real-world applications

As a session organiser, your role will be to select abstract submissions or invite authors to deliver a talk within your session. A session typically consists of four talks. If there are more than four speakers, it is still possible that the same organisers hold more than one session dedicated to the same topic.

If you are interested in organising a session, please contact us (contact information below) with a tentative title and description of your proposal. Once accepted, we will include your session in the electronic Abstract Submission System and you can invite speakers to your session conveniently (a session can naturally have more than one organizer in which case you'll just have to decide who will chair the session).

The abstract submission deadline is January 17, 2020, so all abstracts of your session should be in the Abstract Submission System before that date. Please note that abstracts must be written in English and contain no more than 1500 characters in plain text format (no formulas allowed). Each registered attendee is allowed to give one presentation at the conference. The speaker must enter the abstract and will be shown as the first author.

IMPORTANT DATES:
* Abstract Submission Deadline - January 17, 2020
* Abstracts Accepted/Rejected Deadline - January 31, 2020
* Early-bird Registration Deadline - February 28, 2020
* Speakers Registration Deadline - March 1, 2020

If you know a colleague who might be interested in organizing a session in this stream, please, feel free to forward this invitation.

If you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to contact us!

Please visit the IFORS 2020 webpage (www.ifors2020.kr) to learn more about important dates, abstract submission, registration, special issues of journals, the social program and accommodation.

With best regards,

Richard and Manuel.

as well as different areas, like robotics, artificial intelligence,
mathematical modeling. Applications in complex domains lead to situations
where multiple optimization objectives should be accounted in the proposed
solutions. Decentralized and distributed, robust and secure algorithms are
searched for drones systems that operate in rapidly-changing, uncertain,
and potentially adversarial environments.

Topics (Not limited to)
Autonomous WSN via Drones
Topology monitoring of WSN with Drones
Build Remote Sensing Networks in emergency context via Drones
Communication architectures and protocols of Drones over IoT
Modeling and analysis of Drone systems over IoT
Theoretical foundations for communication routing beyond line-of-sight of
Drones
Communication and networking aspects of cyber-physical systems
Theoretical foundations for parcel delivery using Drones
Drones/UAVS for monitoring network properties (coverage, connectivity) in
emergency
Drones for detecting or discovering events
Facility location problem and Resource Management for Drone systems
4G-5G networks and UAVs
UAV assisted networks
Drones for environment (crop/forest) monitoring
Constraints and multi-objective optimization problems in UAVs
Localization, navigation, and dynamic path planning of UAVs over IoT
Ground Localization with Drones

[DMANET] FMEC 2020 CFP: The Fifth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing. Paris, France. April 20-23, 2020

The Fifth International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC
2020)

http://emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2020/index.php

Paris, France. April 20-23, 2020

(Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE France Section)

*FMEC 2020 CFP:*

Cloud computing provides large range of services and virtually unlimited
available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality
and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of
resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the
delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially
when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human's life
such as the case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud
computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location
awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have
introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile
Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer
to users, which facilitates the leveraging of available services and
resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud
data centers) to the edge of the network closer to the users. FMEC
dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of
Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time
applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected
mobile devices.

Several features enable the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a
perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense
geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness
to users. As in every new technology, some challenges face the vision of
the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative
policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure
computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location
privacy, etc).

FMEC 2020 conference aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements
for Mobile Edge Computing dominance. In addition, it seeks for novel
contributions that help mitigating Mobile Edge Computing challenges. That
is, the objective of FMEC 2020 is to provide a forum for scientists,
engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results
and experience on all aspects of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC). FMEC
is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE France Section.

Researchers are encouraged to submit original research contributions in all
major areas, which include, but not limited to:

* Mobile Cloud Computing Systems.
* FMEC Security and Privacy Issues.
* FMEC Pricing and billing models.
* FMEC support for VANETS and MANETS

[DMANET] Postdoctoral Fellowship(s) in Theoretical Computer Science at University of Copenhagen

*Postdoctoral Fellowship(s) in Theoretical Computer Science*

Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science at University of
Copenhagen (DIKU) is offering Postdoctoral positions in theoretical
computer science expected to commence 1 September 2020 or as soon as
possible thereafter.

The postdoctoral researchers will be working in the research group of Jakob
Nordström. Much of the research revolves about gaining a better theoretical
understanding of powerful algorithmic paradigms such as, e.g., SAT solving,
Gröbner basis computations, integer linear programming, and/or semidefinite
programming. This leads to classic questions in computational complexity
theory – though often with new, interesting twists – but can also involve
work on designing new algorithms that can exploit the power of such
paradigms in practice. Our research has revealed deep, and sometimes
surprising, connections to other topics such as, e.g., circuit complexity,
communication complexity, and hardness of approximation, and therefore
researchers in these or other related areas are more than welcome to apply.

The Algorithms and Complexity Section at DIKU is part of an exciting
environment including the Basic Algorithms Research Copenhagen (BARC)
centre (https://barc.ku.dk/), joint with the IT University of Copenhagen,
and extensive collaborations with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU)
and Lund University on the Swedish side of the Øresund bridge. We aim to
attract top talent from around the world to an ambitious, creative,
collaborative, and fun environment. Using the power of mathematics, we
strive to create fundamental breakthroughs in algorithms and complexity
theory.

Within the overall framework sketched above, the postdocs will be expected
and encouraged to contribute to and influence the research agenda. Taking
part in teaching graduate seminar courses is encouraged but not required.
Travel funding is included, and the group also receives on a regular basis.

These postdoc positions are full-time employed positions for one year with
a possible (and expected) one-year extension. The expected starting date is
September 2020, although this is to some extent negotiable.

Further information about the department is linked at
http://www.science.ku.dk/english/about-the-faculty/organisation/. Inquiries
about the position can be made to Jakob Nordström at jn@di.ku.dk.

The university wishes for our staff to reflect the diversity of society and
thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of
personal background.


*Requirements *Applicants should have or be about to receive a PhD degree
in a subject relevant for the research area, and should have a passionate
interest in research. The successful candidate is expected to have a solid
background in theoretical computer science and mathematics, and should have
a strong research record as witnessed by publications in conferences such

quality.

*Terms of employment*The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job
Structure for Academic Staff.

Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the
