EVENT FORMAT
===============
As a satellite event of the ESORICS symposium, CBT will be organised
as a hybrid workshop: digitally with remote participation and talks
and physically with presence in Darmstadt. The health and safety of
the symposium participants is our number one priority hence the
digital part may be increased depending on the development of
COVID-19. This new format will not affect our proceedings, which will
be published as Springer LNCS proceedings.
=================
WORKSHOP HISTORY
=================
Since the appearance of Bitcoin in 2009, a plethora of new
cryptocurrencies and other blockchain based systems have been deployed
with different success. While some of them are slightly different
copies of Bitcoin, other ones propose interesting improvements or new
usages of the underlying blockchain technology. However, the novelty
of such technologies is often tied with rapid developments and
proof-of-concept software, and rigorous scientific analyses of the
proposed systems are often skipped.
This workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers in this area to
carefully analyze current systems and propose new ones in order to
create a scientific background for a solid development of new
cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology systems.
The main topics include (but are not limited to):
* Anonymity and privacy in cryptocurrencies.
* Privacy-preserving technologies.
* Cryptocurrency based trust systems.
* Security analysis of existing cryptocurrencies.
* Formal threat models in cryptocurrency systems.
* Improvement proposals for existing cryptocurrencies.
* P2P network cryptocurrencies analysis.
* Private transactions in blockchain based systems.
* Consensus mechanisms: proof-of-work, proof of stake,
proof of burn, proof-of-useful-work.
* New usages of the blockchain technology.
* Scalability solutions for blockchain systems.
* Smart contracts.
===================
SUBMISSION DETAILS
===================
Regular and short papers must be original and not submitted for
publication elsewhere. Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts
following the LNCS Proceedings Manuscript style. Papers are limited to
16 pages (full papers), or 8 pages (short papers) including references
and appendices, and can be submitted as PDF via the CBT 2021 submission
site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cbt2021
*Double blind review*: CBT requires anonymized submissions -- please
make sure that submitted papers contain no author names or obvious
self-references.
Accepted regular papers will be published by Springer in the LNCS
collection. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to
register and present their work at the workshop; otherwise the paper
will not be included in the proceedings.

[DMANET] 2nd CfP: SCSS 2021
=========================
SCSS 2021
The 9th International Symposium on Symbolic Computation in Software Science
-- In the era of Computational and Artificial Intelligence --
SCSS 2021
The 9th International Symposium on Symbolic Computation in Software Science
-- In the era of Computational and Artificial Intelligence --
September 8--10, 2021, virtual
Organized by RISC, Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria
https://www.risc.jku.at/conferences/scss2021/
=========================
Overview
--------
Symbolic Computation is the science of computing with symbolic objects
(terms, formulae, programs, representations of algebraic objects, etc.).
Powerful algorithms have been developed during the past decades for the
major subareas of symbolic computation: computer algebra and
computational logic. These algorithms and methods are successfully
applied in various fields, including software science, which covers a
broad range of topics about software construction and analysis.
Meanwhile, artificial intelligence methods and machine learning
algorithms are widely used nowadays in various domains and, in
particular, combined with symbolic computation. Several approaches mix
artificial intelligence and symbolic methods and tools deployed over
large corpora to create what is known as cognitive systems. Cognitive
computing focuses on building systems that interact with humans
naturally by reasoning, aiming at learning at scale.
The purpose of SCSS 2021 is to promote research on theoretical and
practical aspects of symbolic computation in software science, combined
with modern artificial intelligence techniques.
Scope
------
SCSS 2021 solicits submissions on all aspects of symbolic computation
and their applications in software science, in combination with
artificial intelligence and cognitive computing techniques. The topics
of the symposium include, but are not limited to the following:
- automated reasoning, knowledge reasoning, common-sense reasoning and
reasoning in science
- algorithm (program) synthesis and/or verification, alignment and joint
processing of formal, semi-formal, and informal libraries.
- formal methods for the analysis of network and system security
- termination analysis and complexity analysis of algorithms (programs)
- extraction of specifications from algorithms (programs)
- theorem proving methods and techniques, collaboration between
automated and interactive theorem proving
- proof carrying code
- generation of inductive assertion for algorithm (programs)
- algorithm (program) transformations
- combinations of linguistic/learning-based and semantic/reasoning methods
- formalization and computerization of knowledge (maths, medicine,
economy, etc.)
- methods for large-scale computer understanding of mathematics and science
- artificial intelligence, machine learning and big-data methods in
theorem proving and mathematics
- formal verification of artificial intelligence and machine learning
algorithms, explainable artificial intelligence, symbolic artificial
intelligence

[DMANET] ODS2021: Second Call for Papers
Dear Colleagues,
this is the second call for papers of the International Conference on
Optimization and Decision Sciences 2021 (ODS2021), organized by AIRO,
the Italian Operations Research Society and the Department of Statistical
Sciences, Sapienza - University of Rome.
The ODS2021 Conference will be held at the Sapienza University Campus,
in Rome, Italy, on September 14-17, 2021. However, there is a possibility
of moving to either a hybrid or fully online mode depending on the

[DMANET] PhD Student Position - Universite libre de Bruxelles, Belgium - Supporting Energy Communities - Operational Research and Energy Analytics (SEC-OREA). Deadline: April 12, 2021
Fully funded PhD position based in the Computer Science Department of Universite libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. Enquiries to bernard.fortz@ulb.ac.be .
The PhD student will work for the EU funded SEC-OREA (Supporting Energy Communities - Operational Research and Energy Analytics) project. The main tasks will be to develop efficient algorithmic techniques (decomposition and ensembling methods) to solve realistic size instances of renewable energy sources dispatching and demand side management using deterministic data. In a second step, extensions to a robust approach to address the uncertainty defined in scenarios/models provided by the other partners of the project will be studied.
SEC-OREA is funded under the EU CHIST ERA programme. It enables local energy communities (LECs) to participate in the decarbonisation of the energy sector by developing advanced efficient algorithms and analytics technologies. LECs are an efficient way to manage energy by increasing the use of renewable energy sources (RES) at a local level. We aim to co-create an overarching LEC enabling framework with our stakeholders. Our goal is to create technical tools to empower citizens and place them at the core of the Energy Union.
The consortium brings together expertise from Business, Climatology, Computational Methods, Secure ICT, and Power Systems. We reach across the EU with researchers, innovators and stakeholders in Belgium, France, Ireland, Latvia and Porugal. Strong stakeholders include a national meteorological service, municipalities and energy agencies who support the development of LECs, and a distribution system operator (DSO). PIs include Dr. Paula Carroll (UCD), Dr. Luce Brotcorne (INRIA) and Prof. Bernard Fortz (ULB).
The project is funded for 3 years, but a fourth year extension to complete the PhD thesis might be granted by the Belgian funding agency FRS-F.N.R.S.
Candidates must hold a master degree in computer sciences, mathematics, or operations research. Knowledge of optimization solvers and a strong background in programming are welcomed. Candidates should send a CV and a motivation letter to Bernard Fortz (bernard.fortz@ulb.ac.be) by April 12, 2021.

[DMANET] Call for Papers :: SMARTCOMP 2021, Aug 23-27, 2021, Irvine, CA, USAs
CALL FOR WIP-DEMO PAPERS
******************************************************************
The 7th IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP 2021), August 23-27, 2021 in Irvine, Orange County, California, USA
https://www.smart-comp.info
**********************************************************************************
The 7th IEEE International Conference on Smart Computing (SMARTCOMP 2021) draws upon many application disciplines such as transportation, energy, environmental protection, resource management, healthcare, security, banking, entertainment, and social media. In addition to full-length technical papers, SMARTCOMP welcomes Work in Progress (WIP) papers and technical demonstrations (Demos) showing innovative and original research in the areas of smart computing. Submissions from both industry and academia are strongly encouraged.
WIP papers are expected to report on early or ongoing research activities, while Demo papers are expected to present innovative applications and tools.
The WIP and Demo sessions will provide a forum to discuss novel ideas and emerging results, presenting innovative applications and tools, and bring about novel research questions, approaches, and directions.
Currently the conference is planned to be in Irvine, Orange County, California, USA.
However, there is a possibility of moving to either a hybrid or fully online mode depending on the pandemic situation.
TOPICS
Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Smart Computing Technologies and Applications
* Smart Cyber-Physical Systems and Energy/ Water/ Agriculture/ Transportation/ Healthcare/ Banking Infrastructure
* Future Smart Computing Paradigms
* Smart Human Environments, Health, Entertainment, and Social Activities
* Smart Computing for Environmental change (e.g., Energy Management and Analytics, Smart Transportation)
* Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Smart Computing
* Middleware Platforms for Smart Environments
* Mobile and Ubiquitous Platforms for Smart Environments
* Cloud, Edge and Fog Computing Platforms for Smart Systems
* Security, Privacy, and Economics in Smart Environments
WIP and Demo papers should be no more than 3 pages in length, including figures, tables, and references and formatted according to the two-column IEEE proceedings template. IEEE provides corresponding formatting templates at *IEEE conference template*. Make sure to use the conference mode of the template, i.e., LaTeX users must use the conference option of the IEEEtran document class.
WIP papers are expected to present early or ongoing research activities. Novel approaches and preliminary results are especially appreciated.
Demo papers should explicitly state what will be demonstrated to the audience, and how the attendees will be able to interact, enjoy, and experiment.
Papers must be submitted electronically as a single PDF file on US Letter size paper (not A4), with all fonts embedded (the PDF-A standard complies with that), through EDAS - WiP and Demo Track.
Submitted WIP and Demo papers will be subject to peer reviews by SMARTCOMP Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field.
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, and submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. They will be presented as posters. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the conference to present the work.
Authors are requested to submit original, unpublished manuscripts in standard IEEE proceedings format in PDF. Paper submissions should be formatted according to the IEEE conference template.
Due to the short interval between the notification of acceptance and the camera-ready deadline, we strongly encourage authors to follow the camera-ready formatting guidelines as close as possible even for the initial abstract submission.
Submissions must be made via EDAS.
When submitting, please select the "SMARTCOMP 2021: WIP and Demo" track.
