==========Scope==========
The future network world will be embedded with many network architectures
such as wireless sensor networks (WSN), Internet of things (IoT), Cloud
networks (CN), Fetmocellus networks (FN), Vehicular networks (VN), and
others. As innovative services and applications arise in these network
architectures, network management service approaches will need to support
scalability and robustness in a more proactive and intelligent fashion.

In recent years, Machine learning (ML) techniques have shown promise to be
powerful tools in various domains, such as computer vision, natural
language processing (NLP), speech recognition, computational biology, and
others. Motivated by these successes, researchers all over the world have
recently started to investigate applications of this technology to deal
with problems ranging from radio access technology (RAT) selection to
low-latency communication, to low energy consumption in WSN, to manage a
massive number of IoT devices in real-time as well as the development of
networked systems that support machine learning practices.

The objective of this Workshop is to bring together researchers to discuss
recent developments related to all aspects of machine learning applied to
communication and networking systems.

==========Topics==========

Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished papers to this
Workshop. Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Machine learning applied to 5G
- Machine learning for next-generation wireless networks
- Machine learning for next-generation cognitive networks
- Machine learning for communication and network resource optimization
- Machine learning for communication and network operation and control

[DMANET] Open Problem Session and GraphMasters workshop held @ IWOCA 2020 (online)

Open Problem Session and GraphMasters workshop held @ IWOCA 2020 (online)

====================
OPEN PROBLEM SESSION
====================

Since its earliest gatherings, the International (originally Australasian)
Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms (IWOCA) has had collaborative problem
solving as an essential part of its meetings. This takes place alongside
the formal progamme of invited and contributed talks, although there is now
one timetabled meeting to fire-up activity! This provides an enjoyable and
fraternal element and contributes to the special nature of these workshops.

Following a well-established tradition there will be an (online) open
problems session at IWOCA 2020, on June 10 at 17:00 CEST time.

If you have an open problem you would like to present, or have presented,
at the conference, we would like to invite you to suggest it for the open
problem section. You can just write to either of the IWOCA Problem Section
Chairs (or both):

Alessio Conte (conte [at] di.unipi.it)
Gabriele Fici (gabriele.fici [at] unipa.it).

During and after the conference, open problems are collected and documented
on the IWOCA homepage:

https://nms.kcl.ac.uk/iwoca/index_problems.html

Our aim is to publish each problem in the form of 1-2 page PDFs, that also
provide some background information and references for the problems, like
here:

https://nms.kcl.ac.uk/iwoca/problems_list.html

Please be ready to put your problem into this format if we ask you to.

To attend you must register to IWOCA 2020 at
https://iwoca2020.labri.fr/registration/ (free of charge)

====================
GRAPHMASTERS
====================

For the second time, IWOCA will also host a GraphMasters workshop. The
workshop will be on June 11, and its goal is to foster collaboration
between researchers interested in graph algorithms and problems. The spirit
of the workshop is informal: (virtual) working space is provided to the
participants, who are welcome to group as they like and seek each other's
counsel and opinion. More details can be found at
http://graphmasters.di.unipi.it/ .

The workshop will start with participants introducing interesting
graph-related problems: ideally these should be problems that can be
introduced quickly and without excessive technical detail (which can be
further discussed later on in the working sessions), while grabbing the
attention of a wide range of graph-savy researchers.

Please send a demonstration of interest to the organizer:

Alessio Conte (conte [at] di.unipi.it).

In the email, we encourage to mention whether you have an interesting
problem to share. We also encourage to already present the problems during
the IWOCA Open Problems Session.

Best regards,
Alessio Conte and Gabriele Fici

* Services in Organizations, Business, and Society: Social networks and services; Cost and pricing of services; Service marketplaces and ecosystems; Innovative service business models
Focus Area-2: Industry 4.0 Technologies

Industry 4.0 (or smart manufacturing) sets the foundations for completely connected factories that are characterized by the digitization and interconnection of supply chains, production equipment and production lines, and the application of the latest advanced digital information technologies to manufacturing activities. The manufacturing paradigm championed by the Industry 4.0 brings together processes, software services and systems, machines, devices, IoT, sensors, valves, actuators, manufacturing systems, and connected digital factories. All these computer-driven systems create a virtual copy of the physical world and help make decentralized decisions with much higher degree of accuracy.

Topics that are part of this focus area may include but are not limited to:

* Digital twins and digital threads
* Digital product management
* Digital manufacturing
* Digital transformation
* Digital reality

* Smarter analytics
* Manufacturing Intelligence
* Smart factories
* Smart asset management
* Smart Cyber-Security in Industry 4.0
* Blockchain in Industry 4.0

Focus Area-3: Smart services, Smart data and Smart applications

Smart data systems and services support the processing and integration of data and services into a meaningful unified view to enable more effective decision making and problem solving. The decisive criterion here is not necessarily the amount of data or services available, but smart content techniques that promote not only the collection and accumulation of related data and services, but also its context, and understanding. This requires finding useful insights and discovering patterns and trends within the data and services to reveal a wider picture that is more relevant to the problem in hand and react to them.

Smart applications are context aware, intelligent and autonomous industrial strength applications that incorporate data-driven, actionable contextual insights into the user experience to enable users to more efficiently complete a desired task usually taking the form of recommendations, estimates, and suggested next course of actions in context.

Topics that are part of this focus area may include but are not limited to:

* Smart Big Data
* Predictive Modeling
* Visualization & Augmented Reality
* Smarter Analytics
* Machine Learning
* Multidimensional Data
* Sensor Networks
* Smart cities

Focus Area-4: Blockchain Technologies

A blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger that records and stores transactions among a number of interacting parties in a network. Each transaction must be validated via a consensus mechanism executed by the network participants before being permanently added as a new "block" at the end of the "chain." Disruptive technologies such as blockchain, AI, services, and cloud enable companies and administrations to provide decentralized, trusted, transparent and user-centric digital services while enhancing user/consumer experience. These technologies have the ability to transform the way we use the internet and digital services globally. Topics that are part of this focus area may include but are not limited to:

* Blockchain in digital services
* Block chain and smart business transactions
* Block chain and smart contracts
* Blockchain in the Internet of things (IoT)
* Blockchain in cyber physical systems
* Blockchain in edge and cloud computing
* Disintermediation and collaboration mechanisms in block chains
* Peer-to-peer networks
* Block chain platforms
* Blockchain in supply chain management
* Trust and security services in block chains
* Cutting edge cipher algorithms

[DMANET] 2nd CFP: International Workshop on Predictive Maintenance (IWPM20) / IEEE FRUCT27

*IEEE FRUCT27 International Workshop on Predictive Maintenance (ISPM20) -
2nd CFP.*

*Submission deadline:* 15 June 2020.
*Workshop: *8 Sep. 2020, Trento, Italy.

[Apologies for cross-postings. Please forward to interested colleagues and
mailing lists.]

Call for Contributions

Dear All,

the International Workshop on Predictive Maintenance (IWPM20) that will be
held in Trento (Italy) provides a forum to disseminate and discuss research
in this emerging research area that is increasingly attracting industrial
and academic researchers. It will be held on 8 September 2020 in Trento, in
conjunction with FRUCT27.

*About FRUCT*
The 27th FRUCT Conference is organized by the University of Trento and the
Open Innovations Association FRUCT, a large regional cooperation framework
that promotes open innovations of academia and industry. Participants comes
from Italy, Finland, Russia, UK, Denmark, India, and other countries and
industry is primarily represented by Dell EMC, Nokia, MariaDB, Intel,
Jolla, Open Mobile Platform, Skolkovo, etc.

*Background and Workshop Objectives*
Predictive maintenance is a new trend in research and industry involving
several application domains. Where in standard maintenance models the
maintenance procedures follow the failure or are scheduled at fixed time
intervals, in Predictive maintenance monitoring data and measurement of
process performance are used to trigger equipment maintenance. This data is
often used in conjunction with analyzed historical trends to evaluate the
system health and predict breakdowns before they happen. This approach is
based on fast analysis of large amount of data, as such it needs accurate
and complete information for optimal decision-making. As big data
technology is getting a mature, systematic analysis of massive streaming
data and more advanced Machine Learning techniques have been employed for
exploring hidden patterns in the monitoring data. Predictive maintenance
has found its place in many industrial sectors, with automotive leading the
way to introduce more involved approaches that both help in scheduling
maintenance procedures and suggest plans of action to mitigate failures.
This research area finds strong links with recent methodologies and
industry trends such as the Internet of Things, to extract actionable
insights directly from the equipment, and Digital Twins, digital replicas
of the equipment to model its state and simulate its performance.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following subject
areas:
- Predictive maintenance using AI, Deep Learning, Machine Learning
- Modeling and optimization of processes
- Condition-based monitoring and decision support systems
- Time series based predictive maintenance
- Predictive maintenance with online data
- Fault detection and diagnosis
- Prescriptive maintenance model for decision support
- Digital Twins for fault simulation and analysis
- Estimation of Remaining Useful Life of components
- Data visualization for predictive maintenance

Contributions:
- Full papers (min 6 full pages and up to 12 pages)
- Short papers (min 2, max 5 pages)
- Position papers (max 2 pages)
- Poster or demo summary (min 1, max 5 pages)
All papers must include references in the allotted page limits. Please note
that an author can be a co-author of a maximum of three documents of all
types.
Paper submission is via EasyChair accessible from the FRUCT submission
site: https://www.fruct.org/node/370121 (LaTeX and MS Word templates are
available).

All workshop papers will be published as Open Access in the FRUCT
Proceedings. Full papers will also be included in IEEE Xplore and indexed

[DMANET] Postdoc position in Greifswald / Deutschland

At the University of Greifswald's Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science in the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, there is a job vacancy expected to be available from 01/07/2020 or for earliest possible appointment, subject to budgetary regulations, for a full-time

Research Assistant.

The fixed-term contract shall end on 30/06/2022. The position is suitable for part-time employment. Payment will be made according to pay group 13 TV-L Wissenschaft.

The position on offer is being provided within the research consortium DIG-IT!– "Digitisation of natural complexity for the solution of socially relevant ecological problems", as part of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's research excellence programme "Digitisation in Research".

The DIG-IT! project:
DIG-IT! seeks to advance digitisation, in particular deep learning, making it accessible for use in ecological sciences. For this purpose, DIG-IT! combines the developmental expertise for the automated analysis of image data (Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics, Rostock and Biomathematics University Greifswald), as well as the mathematical expertise of the Biomathematics and Stochastics research group, with the application of the results for tackling urgent ecological questions (Botany / Landscape Ecology / Zoology University Greifswald). More information can be found here: https://dig-it.uni-greifswald.de <https://dig-it.uni-greifswald.de/>
Job description:
DIG-IT! has been running since mid-2019, meaning that numerous digitisation tasks have already been concluded. The DIG-IT! consortium is thus able to access a broad variety of digitised data, ranging from bat images and bat sound recordings to tree cross-sections and pollen images and 3D root data. First analyses of this data has already been performed. The position advertised here, which belongs to the Biomathematics and Stochastics research group, shall now bring the understanding and findings gained from this data to a new level ("explorer" function). The postdoc shall ask and find the answers to new questions, which are only possible thanks to the new data: for instance, can the classification of bat image data be improved by also considering bat sound data or genetic data? Can 3D root growth be predicted if the distribution of nutrients in the soil is known? Can multidimensional data support the deep learning techniques in order to obtain useful presumptions?

There is an immense variety of mathematical, statistical and computer science questions in this project . The postdoc can therefore play an active role and make the most of his or her individual strengths and creativity in order to contribute to the level of knowledge gained by DIG-IT!. In particular, the postdoc is able to choose the mathematical and computer science tools and techniques used to tackle these questions in accordance with his/her strengths and interests.

The digitisation of image and acoustic data is not a core task of the position on offer. However, support with programme adjustment and possibly with the digitisation of some extra data are part of the job description. In particular, the successful candidate is expected to support PhD candidates with digital experience from the fields of both ecology and biomathematics with regard to aspects of machine learning.

Job requirements:

Completed PhD in (bio-)mathematics, bioinformatics, computer science or a closely related discipline
Mathematical experience, e.g. in the areas of graph theory and mathematical modelling
Sound knowledge of statistics
Knowledge in the area of machine learning
Mastery of at least one programming language; ideally Python
Excellent knowledge of the English language (both written and spoken)
Willingness to collaborate in an interdisciplinary team
Biological experience and German language proficiency are desirable, but not essential.
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with outstanding qualifications, who is an enthusiastic and experienced researcher, and willing to contribute to this joint project.

This advertisement is directed at all persons, irrespective of gender.
The University would like to increase the proportion of women in areas in which they are underrepresented and thus applications from women are particularly welcome and will be treated with priority if they have the same qualifications and as long as there are no clear reasons which make a fellow applicant more suitable.

Severely disabled applicants with the same qualifications will be considered with preference.

In accordance with § 68(3) PersVG M-V, the Staff Council will only be involved in staff matters of the academic or artistic staff on request.

Please only submit copies of original documents with your application as these cannot be returned. Unfortunately, application costs (e.g. travel expenses for interviews) will not be reimbursed by the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Applications comprising all usual documents (letter of motivation, curriculum vitae, copies of academic certificates, list of publications) should be sent by 7June 2020, via email (one PDF file), to:

We are looking for new developments in classical graph coloring problems
and also algorithms using graph coloring as a tool to improve
computations for other graph invariants, such as the independence number
or maximum cuts. We encourage submissions of results on algorithms
dealing with coloring with additional constraints, which have been
applied in other areas of science.

Further information can be found at the Special Issue website:
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Graph_Coloring

The submission deadline is 30 October 2020. Papers will be published on

[DMANET] ACM SIGAI Activities Fund: Second Call for Proposals

[Apologies for Multiple Postings]

A reminder that proposals to the SIGAI activites fund are due in a little
over two weeks! We hope to receive exciting proposals from our membership!

ACM SIGAI Activities Fund 2020: Call for Proposals

ACM SIGAI invites funding proposals for artificial intelligence (AI)
activities that can take place entirely virtually and that have a strong
outreach component to students, researchers, practitioners not working on
AI technologies, or to the public in general.

We funded several proposals with a similar outreach thrust last year, but
those were largely based around physical interactions. With the necessity
of responding to the current situation and the Covid-19 pandemic, we are
instead focusing this year on activities that can both take place virtually
and provide resources, material, or engagement to the broader community
through virtual means. Nevertheless, a focus of, and knowledge of, local
populations that this could reach, and evidence of the ability to reach
such populations, will be positively viewed.

The purpose of this call is to promote a better understanding of current AI
technologies, including their strengths and limitations, as well as their
promise for the future. Examples of fundable activities include (but are
not limited to), virtual panels on AI technology (including on AI ethics)
with expert speakers, creating podcasts or short films on AI technologies
that are accessible to the public, and holding AI programming competitions
virtually. ACM SIGAI will look for evidence that the information presented
by the activity will be of high quality, accurate, unbiased (for example,
not influenced by company interests), and at the right level for the
intended audience.

ACM SIGAI will fund up to five proposals. The funding will be provided
either as reimbursement (up to $2000), or as an honorarium (up to $1000),
keeping in mind that the honorarium option has tax consequences for the
recipient. In the case of honorarium payments, we plan to ensure that the
final "deliverable" is in keeping with what was promised in the proposal
before sending funding, and that you produce a writeup of the project for
submission to AI Matters, the SIGAI newsletter.

We will prioritize the following types of proposals:

a) proposals from ACM affiliated organizations other than conferences
(such as ACM SIGAI chapters or ACM chapters).
2.

b) out-of-the-box ideas that can be delivered rapidly,
3.

c) new activities (rather than existing and recurring activities),
4.

d) activities with long-term impact, and
5.

e) activities that reach many people. We prefer not to fund activities
for which sufficient funding is already available from elsewhere or that
result in profit for the organizers.

Note that expert talks on AI technology can typically be arranged with
financial support of the ACM Distinguished Speaker program (
https://speakers.acm.org/
<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fspeakers.acm.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cnsmattei%40TULANE.EDU%7C1e2cb49fa3da498e32b708d8028aa921%7C9de9818325d94b139fc34de5489c1f3b%7C0%7C0%7C637262141865998333&sdata=lmXuX7FnFJvPoTDfZRA%2BLXdWT2DkbAvWEpzN97jtrwM%3D&reserved=0>)
and are not appropriate for funding via this call. Likewise, webinars can
be hosted in partnership with ACM SIGAI (e.g.,
https://learning.acm.org/techtalks/ethicsai
<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flearning.acm.org%2Ftechtalks%2Fethicsai&data=02%7C01%7Cnsmattei%40TULANE.EDU%7C1e2cb49fa3da498e32b708d8028aa921%7C9de9818325d94b139fc34de5489c1f3b%7C0%7C0%7C637262141866008327&sdata=crbRIhlumz0XQ%2BT%2F3Cq6WSaTeDjFSrcuZlH134GMxDI%3D&reserved=0>).
If you want to participate in programs such as these please reach out to us
separately.
Submission Guidelines

A proposal should contain the following information on at most 3 pages:

A description of the activity (including when and where it will be held);
-

A budget for the activity and the amount of funding requested, and
whether other organizations have been or will be approached for funding
(and, if so, for how much). This could also be a request for an honorarium
payment instead;
-

An explanation of how the activity fits this call (including whether it
is new or recurring, which audience it will benefit, and how large the
audience is);
-

A description of the organizers and other participants (such as
speakers) involved in the activity (including their expertise and their
affiliation with ACM SIGAI or ACM);
-

A description of what will happen to the surplus in case there is,
unexpectedly, one; and the name, affiliation, and contact details
(including postal and email address, phone number, and URL) of the
corresponding organizer.
-

Grantees are required to submit reports to ACM SIGAI following
completion of their activities with details on how they utilized the funds
and other information which might also be published in the ACM SIGAI
newsletter "AI Matters."
-

The deadline for submissions is 11:59pm on June 15, 2020 (UTC-12).
Proposals should be submitted as pdf documents in any style at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sigaiaaf2020
<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Feasychair.org%2Fconferences%2F%3Fconf%3Dsigaiaaf2020&data=02%7C01%7Cnsmattei%40TULANE.EDU%7C1e2cb49fa3da498e32b708d8028aa921%7C9de9818325d94b139fc34de5489c1f3b%7C0%7C0%7C637262141866008327&sdata=opo3xucPAsmygYxRYMlxfkZAogewuE3U3B1DvqXT1BA%3D&reserved=0>

Committees

The program is organized by the SIGAI Executive Committee, and will be
evaluated by them with the help of other SIGAI officers and external
reviewers.

The funding decisions of ACM SIGAI are final and cannot be appealed. Some
funding earmarked for this call might not be awarded at the discretion of
ACM SIGAI, for example, in case the number of high-quality proposals is not
sufficiently large.

[DMANET] DCFS 2020: Call for Papers

DCFS 2020 collected papers - Call for Papers

Descriptional Complexity of Formal Systems 2020

The 22nd International Conference on Descriptional Complexity of Formal
Systems (DCFS 2020) was expected to be organized by Rudolf Freund at the
TU Wien as part of the Summer of Formal Languages 2020 in Wien, Austria,
and by the IFIP Working Group 1.02 "Descriptional Complexity".
Unfortunately, due to development of the crisis caused by the Corona virus,
the conference had to be canceled as an event with the participants meeting
in person in Wien. However, in order to allow researchers in the area of
descriptional complexity to still present their recent results in some form,
the DCFS steering committee decided to prepare a volume, collecting papers
which will be selected by a committee after a standard review process
(http://www.informatik.uni-giessen.de/dcfs/dcfs2020.html <http://www.informatik.uni-giessen.de/dcfs/dcfs2020.html>).
The volume will be published in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
The Steering Committee is also considering the possibility of offering to
the authors of accepted papers the option of giving a short presentation
during DCFS 2021.

IMPORTANT DATES

• Paper submission deadline: June 15, 2020
• Author notification: July 31, 2020
• Final version: August 15, 2020

TOPICS

Submissions concerning the descriptional complexity of formal systems
and structures (and its applications) are invited for DCFS 2020
collected papers. Original papers are sought in all aspects of descriptional
complexity, topics include, but are not limited to:

• Automata, grammars, languages and other formal systems; various
modes of operations and complexity measures.
• Succinctness of description of objects, state-explosion-like phenomena.
• Circuit complexity of Boolean functions and related measures.
• Size complexity of formal systems.
• Structural complexity of formal systems.
• Trade-offs between computational models and mode of operation.
