Novel contributions added --- online, at IFORS
OR for Developing Countries
The aim of the IFORS Developing Countries Online Resources page is to offer the OR worker all publicly-available materials on the topic of OR for Development. It also aims to provide a venue for people who are working in the area to share their completed or in-process work, learn from others, and stimulate comments and discussions on the work. Regarding IFORS Developing Countries OR resources website, its regular updates - and your possible submission of "free" (not copyright protected) material, you might occasionally visit
http://ifors.org/developing_countries/index.php?title=Main_Page.
With this open resources page we aim to make research and application results better accessible to the many friends in the Developing Countries. We would be glad about interest.
"Operational Research" (OR) is the discipline of applying advanced analytical methods to help make better decisions. By using techniques such as problem structuring methods and mathematical modelling to analyze complex situations, Operational Research gives executives the power to make more effective decisions and build more productive systems.
The International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS; http://ifors.org/) is an almost 60-year old organization which is currently composed of 51 national societies. Regional Groups of IFORS are: ALIO (The Latin American Ibero Association on Operations Research), APORS (The Association of Asian-Pacific Operational Research Societies), EURO (The Association of European Operational Research Societies), NORAM (The Association of North American Operations Research Societies). IFORS conferences are taking place every three years. On IFORS 2020, Seoul, South Korea, please refer to http://www.ifors2020.kr/.
Thank you very much for your attention.
With kind regards,
best wishes,
Gerhard-Wilhelm Weber

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message]
Call For Papers
=============================================================================
The 6th IEEE International Conference on Dependability in Sensor, Cloud,
and Big Data Systems and Applications (IEEE DependSys 2020), 14-16 December
2020, Fiji [Submission Deadline: Sep. 1][14+ Special Issues]
http://cse.stfx.ca/~dependsys/2020/index.html
IEEE DependSys 2020 conference is the 6th event in the series of
conferences which offers a timely venue for bringing together new ideas,
techniques, and solutions for dependability and its issues in sensor,
cloud, and big data systems and applications. As we are deep into the
Information Age, huge amounts of data are generated every day from sensors,
individual archives, social networks, Internet of Things, enterprises and
Internet in various scales and format which will pose a major challenge to
the dependability of our designed systems. As these systems often tend to
become inert, fragile, and vulnerable after a period of running.
Effectively improving the dependability of sensor, cloud, big data systems
and applications has become increasingly critical.
This conference provides a forum for individuals, academics, practitioners,
and organizations who are developing or procuring sophisticated computer
systems on whose dependability of services they need to place great
confidence. Future systems need to close the dependability gap in face of
challenges in different circumstances. The emphasis will be on differing
properties of such services, e.g., continuity, effective performance,
real-time responsiveness, ability to overcome data fault, corruption,
anomaly, ability to avoid catastrophic failures, prevention of deliberate
privacy intrusions, reliability, availability, sustainability,
adaptability, heterogeneity, security, safety, and so on.
=============================================================================
IEEE DependSys 2020 is sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE
Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC). All accepted papers will
be submitted to IEEE Xplore and Engineering Index (EI). Best Paper Awards
will be presented to high quality papers. Distinguished papers, after
further revisions, will be published in 14+ SCI & EI indexed prestigious
journals (confirmed).

Science March 16—19, 2021, Saarbrücken, Germany
https://stacs2021.saarland-informatics-campus.de/
FORMAT
We are quite optimistic that STACS 2021 will happen as a physical
conference, maybe with an option of remote participation for authors who
cannot attend due to the COVID situation. If this is not possible, STACS
2021 will take place as an online event.
LIST OF TOPICS
Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished
research on theoretical aspects of computer science. Typical areas
include (but are not limited to):
* algorithms and data structures,
including: design of parallel, distributed, approximation,
parameterized and randomized algorithms; analysis of algorithms and
combinatorics of data structures; computational geometry, cryptography,
algorithmic learning theory, algorithmic game theory;
* automata and formal languages,
including: algebraic and categorical methods, coding theory;
* complexity and computability,
including: computational and structural complexity theory,
parameterized complexity, randomness in computation;
* logic in computer science,
including: finite model theory, database theory, semantics,
specification verification, rewriting and deduction;
* current challenges,
for example: natural computing, quantum computing, mobile and net
computing, computational social choice.

TUTORIALS
There will be tutorials (to be announced) taking place on March 15, 2021.
SUBMISSIONS
Submissions can be uploaded to EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=stacs2021
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper with at
most 12 pages (excluding the title page and the references section). The
title page consists of the title of the paper and the abstract,
but *no* author information.
The usage of pdflatex and the LIPIcs style file (see
http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics) are mandatory; no changes
to font size, page geometry, etc. are permitted. Submissions not in the
correct format or submitted after the deadline will not be considered.
The paper should contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their
motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of
their significance, accessible to non-specialist readers.
Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into an appendix, to
be read by the program committee members at their discretion.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings
or to journals is not allowed. PC members are excluded from submitting.
STACS 2021 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process for
the first time, similar to the one of ESA: submissions should not reveal
the identity of the authors in any way. The purpose of the double-blind
reviewing is to help PC members and external reviewers come to an
initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible
for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be
done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the
job of reviewing the paper more difficult. In particular, important
references should not be omitted or anonymized. In addition, authors
should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their
paper as they normally would. For example, authors may post drafts of
their papers on the web, submit them to arXiv, and give talks on their
research ideas.
There will be a rebuttal period for authors between November 24—27,
2020. Authors will receive the reviews of their submissions (via
EasyChair) and have three days to submit rebuttals (via EasyChair).
These rebuttals become part of the PC meeting, but entail no specific
responses.
PROCEEDINGS
Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the symposium.
As usual, these proceedings will appear in the Leibniz International
Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series, based at Schloss Dagstuhl.
This guarantees perennial, free and easy electronic access, while the
authors retain the rights over their work. With their submission,
authors consent to sign a license authorizing the program committee
chairs to organize the electronic publication of their paper, provided
the paper is accepted.
IMPORTANT DATES
* Deadline for submissions: October 5, 2020 (AoE)
* Rebuttal: November 24–27, 2020
* Author notification: December 20, 2020
* Final version: January 18, 2021

systems. In particular, it aims at bridging the gap existing between
standard MCDM methods generally implemented within static
environments and the dynamic interactions taking place across variables
in many real-life settings.
In addition to the inclusion of a temporal dimension across MCDM
methods, any potential development in techniques such as dynamic DEA or
novel extensions of multiobjective optimization problems involving
dynamic interactions across variables are welcome as contributions to
the current Special Issue.
Further information can be found at the Special Issue website:
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Dynamic_multiple_decision_making
The submission deadline is 31 March 2021. Papers will be published on an
ongoing basis, so you can submit your paper at any point before the
deadline.

Aim and Scope
Providing the ubiquitous network accessibility is one of the main goals in
the Beyond 5G (B5G) mobile networks. To achieve this goal, it is vital to
connect the space, air, ground, and sea networks (SAGS) in such
heterogenous B5G networks. Although the above networks exhibit different
types of technical issues, they should be connected seamlessly with
collaborated networking functionalities and management. On the other hand,
in the last five years, with the growing popularity of artificial
intelligence (AI), the application and innovation of AI have also been
attracting significant research attention to enable intelligent networking
and communication, in which the network quality can be ensured by meeting
the key performance metrics.
This special issue (SI) is to foster innovative work that can promote
collaboration among SAGS mobile networks by involving AI in the background
of B5G. This SI aims to foster research contributions beyond the state of
the art, making concrete steps towards solutions for the current problems
and opens up new horizons for collaborative efforts over different
communication environments.
The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited
to:
· Integration of Space, Air, Ground, and Sea Networks
· Intelligent Space-Air Networks
· Intelligent Satellite-assisted UAV Communication
· Intelligent Satellite-assisted Airship Networks
· Intelligent Drone-assisted Mobile Ad-hoc Networks
· Intelligent Drone-assisted Cellular Networks
· Intelligent Drone-assisted Wireless Sensor Networks
· Intelligent Drone-assisted Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks
· Intelligent Drone-assisted Sea Networks
· Intelligent Maritime-assisted Underwater Networks
· Software-Defined SAGS networks
· Data-based Collaboration for SAGS networks
· Network-based models and optimisation algorithms for SAGS networks
· Network Trust, Security, and Privacy of SAGS networks
· Intelligence-driven Mobile Computing in SAGS networks
· Data analysis for SAGS networks
· Intelligent Cloud, Fog and Edge Computing for SAGS networks
· Intelligent Load Balancing, Traffic Control and Scheduling of SAGS
networks
· Path Planning and Route Management of Cyber-Physical Systems in SAGS
networks
· SAGS-enabled Smart City
· SAGS-enabled Smart Sea
· SAGS-enabled Smart Ocean

[DMANET] 10 PhD and Postdoc scholarships at HPI in Germany
New Research School at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, Germany
"Data Science and Engineering"
See https://hpi.de/en/research/research-schools
The Hasso Plattner Institute at the University of Potsdam is one of Germany's top-ranked computer science institutes, including its research school on service-oriented systems engineering. We are happy to now announce a new research school in the area of data science and data engineering. Annually, we seek talented young researchers and offer
10 Ph.D. and Postdoc Scholarships
The increasing abundance of data in science and in industry creates many challenges and opportunities. Data science has grown to be a foundational discipline in information technology, allowing new insights from data and creating ever more intelligent applications. Simultaneously, it is becoming increasingly difficult to collect, clean and deliver the vast amounts of data and apply and maintain complex data science processes. Targeting these challenges, the discipline of data engineering has become equally foundational.
The newly established research school "Data Science and Engineering" unites top PhD students and Postdocs in all areas of data-driven research and technology, including scalable storage, stream processing, data cleaning, machine learning and deep learning, text processing, data visualization and more. We apply our research to many different use cases across the participating interdisciplinary research groups, joining forces whenever possible.
Students and Postdocs enjoy a great research environment, close mentorship by professors and postdocs of the research school, interaction with many peers, enormous computing power with HPI's data lab, and significant travel funding. HPI professors and their research groups ensure high quality research and will supervise Ph.D. students.
Applications must be submitted by August 15th 2020. Please include
- Curriculum vitae and copies of certificates/transcripts
- Brief research proposal, ideally mentioning the suitable HPI research groups you would like to work with.
- Work samples/copies of relevant scientific work (e.g., master's thesis or scientific papers)

[DMANET] PhD position for Data-driven optimization for sustainable network design (University of Primorska and InnoRenew CoE)
A PhD position is available at the University of Primorska, Slovenia in
the topic "Data-driven optimization for sustainable network design". The
successful candidate will be part of InnoRenew CoE's ICT research group
(Izola, Slovenia) and as a doctoral student will enrol in the Computer
Science doctoral program at the University of Primorska (Koper,
Slovenia).
the topic "Data-driven optimization for sustainable network design". The
successful candidate will be part of InnoRenew CoE's ICT research group
(Izola, Slovenia) and as a doctoral student will enrol in the Computer
Science doctoral program at the University of Primorska (Koper,
Slovenia).
Using networks to model real-world problems is a powerful tool, as they
provide an efficient abstraction that can be used to analyse the
structure of the task at hand. Ranging from sensor networks to supply
chains, there is an underlying complex network for a wide array of
different everyday applications. Sustainability plays an important role
in the design of these networks when considering various optimisation
questions such as energy minimisation or the reuse of waste materials.
The objectives and constraints of these optimisation problems are
generally strongly influenced by a large amount of available measured
data.
Tasks and Goals
The focus of the research is to analyse the underlying structure of
selected real-world problems and design efficient network
representations for them. The above goal is intended to be achieved by:
• Collecting and studying available data related to the problems,
identifying crucial underlying information;
• Using the extracted information, efficient solution methods should be
developed for problems arising in these networks. Mathematical
programming and metaheuristic approaches can both be used for this
purpose;
• Showing the efficiency of the developed tools and methods by
implementing simulation environments.
The methods and tools developed above will be adapted for real-world
data in connection with interdisciplinary projects. The successful
candidate will also contribute to applications for grant-funded research
projects and publish their research in high-level international journals
and prestigious conferences in the field.
Required qualifications
• Master's degree in computer science, information technology,
mathematics, or related area
• Strong command of at least one major high-level programming language
(e.g. C++, Java, Python)
• Solid background in algorithm design and data structures
• High motivation to carry out interdisciplinary research projects
• Ability to solve complex problems with the development of methodical
and analytical approaches
• Strong written and oral communication skills in English
• Ability to interact with industry and other researchers
Preferred qualifications
• Experience in implementing graph algorithms
• Strong operations research background
• Knowledge of optimization and modelling software
• Participation in applied research projects (industrial or
grant-funded)
• Ability to formulate and communicate new research ideas and prepare
research proposals
The InnoRenew CoE (https://innorenew.eu/) was established based on a
flagship project funded by the European Commission and the Republic of
Slovenia.

Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit full papers to the special session
on *Artificial Intelligence and Security for Smart Cities**
(AIC2SC'2020)* co-located
with the 8th International Conference on Wireless Networks and Mobile
Communications (WINCOM 2020).
==========Scope==========
In recent years, with the successful development and the deployment of
Internet of Things (IOT) architectures, cities across the world are
becoming smart Cities. As result, many services ensured by each city, such
as transportation, buildings, healthcare, education, agriculture and energy
management are becoming more and more intelligent. Moreover, Artificial
Intelligence (AI) represents a promising solution to bring intelligence
into different entities of smart cities. However, the process of
integration brings new challenges and problems.
In addition, security is one of important challenges that arises since
smart city applications not only collect a wide range of sensitive
information from users and their mobile applications, but also control
access to different resources of the city.
In this session, we are focusing on artificial intelligence and
security-related problems that currently affect smart cities in general
around the world. For this, the objective of this session is to bring
together researchers to discuss recent algorithms and solutions related to
both problems.
Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished papers to this
session. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- AI-based protocols and services for smart cities
- AI-based application for smart cities
- IA-based communications Security
- Cloud Computing Security
- Security for Ubiquitous/Pervasive Computing
- Big Data Analytics for Smart Cities Security
- AI-based big data analysis for smart cities
- AI-based cloud computing for smart cities

[DMANET] CFP: Special Issue on Multi-Swarms of Unmanned Autonomous Systems
Please, accept our apologies in case of multiple copies of this CFP.
*******************************************************************************************************************
Special issue in Frontiers in Robotics and AI on "Multi-Swarms of Unmanned Autonomous Systems"
https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/12547/multi-swarms-of-unmanned-autonomous-systems
*******************************************************************************************************************
Scope:
======
Swarms of Unmanned Autonomous Systems (UAS), usually inspired by nature, such as bird flocks or fish schools, have been introduced to achieve complex common objectives through collaborative behaviors. Swarms have already been intensively studied as a way to address the limitations of single autonomous systems by augmenting the range of action, increasing the resilience and flexibility of UAS systems. These properties make them very suitable for numerous applications like surveillance, search and rescue or wide-area monitoring.
Going one step further, the usage of multiple swarms of different types of autonomous vehicles, e.g. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) recently gained attention. Multi-swarm systems can be composed of heterogeneous vehicles moving in an autonomous and coordinated way, for instance in the air, on the ground, or in the sea. While members of a single swarm work collectively to achieve a mission, interactions between swarms can similarly be cooperative but also competitive (e.g., swarms vs. swarms), opening new research challenges.
Multi-swarm systems remain an open research topic because of the intrinsic difficulty in obtaining efficient global behavior while relying on local decisions from distributed and heterogeneous entities evolving in different swarms. Such highly dynamical networked systems not only require efficient mobility behaviors, but also optimized ad hoc communications within and between swarms.
The development of UAS swarming solutions is still mainly limited to manual design and optimization, which becomes increasingly tedious and hardly scalable when considering multi-swarm systems. Therefore, novel artificial intelligence (AI) and optimization approaches are thus required to allow the development of efficient multi-swarm behaviors.
Topics:
=======
• Multi-swarm mobility models
• Multi-swarm simulations
• Multi-swarm testbeds
• Multi-swarm networking models and optimization (e.g., multi-layer networks)
• Heuristics - meta-heuristics for multi-swarm optimization
• Machine learning for multi-swarm systems
• Models for UTM (UAV Traffic Management)
• Prey-Predator dynamics in multi-swarms
• Multi-swarm collaborative models
• Game theoretical models
• Multi-swarm applications: surveillance, defense, intruder detection and handling
• State-of-the-art analysis (on the topics above)

Since normal academic activities have been seriously disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems sensible to delay until August 15 the final date for the submission (to both the general and special sessions) of full papers and extended abstracts.
