[DMANET] PhD positions in TCS and combinatorial optimization in Copenhagen

The Department of Computer Science (DIKU) at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for PhD positions in theoretical computer science and combinatorial optimization.

The PhD students will be working in the Mathematical Insights into Algorithms for Optimization (MIAO) group headed by Jakob Nordstrom (www.jakobnordstrom.se), which is active at both the University of Copenhagen and Lund University on either side of the Oresund Bridge.

The MIAO research group has a unique profile in that we are doing cutting-edge research both on the mathematical foundations of efficient computation and on state-of-the-art practical algorithms for real-world problems. This creates a very special environment, where we do not only conduct in-depth research on different theoretical and applied topics, but where different lines of research cross-fertilise each other and unexpected and exciting synergies often arise. Much of the activities of the group revolve around powerful algorithmic paradigms such as, e.g., Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solving, Groebner basis computations, integer linear programming, and constraint programming. This leads to classical questions in computational complexity theory—though often with new, fascinating twists—but also involves work on devising clever algorithms that can exploit the power of such paradigms in practice.

We are fortunate to be part of the Algorithms and Complexity Section at DIKU, which is world-leading in algorithms and complexity theory (currently ranked 6th worldwide by CSrankings.org). DIKU hosts the Basic Algorithms Research Copenhagen (BARC) centre joint with the IT University of Copenhagen, and we also have extensive collaborations with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and with Lund University on the Swedish side of the Oresund Bridge, as well as with our many visitors. 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. While the focus in on foundational research, we do have a track record of surprising algorithmic discoveries leading to major industrial applications.

We currently have openings for both theoretically and practically inclined PhD students. There is a lot of flexibility as to what kind of research the PhD students will pursue, and all candidates are welcome, both those who want to go deep into either theory or practice and those who are inspired by the challenge of bridging the gap between the two.

These positions are available for period of 3-5 years, depending on the current education level of the applicant. All PhD positions in the research group are fully funded, employed positions (including travel money) that come with an internationally competitive salary. The starting date is negotiable but should ideally be in mid-spring 2022.

The application deadline is November 28, 2021. Please see http://www.jakobnordstrom.se/openings/PhD-UCPH-211128.html for the full announcement with more information and instructions for how to apply. Informal enquiries are welcome and may be sent to jakob.nordstrom@cs.lth.se.

In the last few years, we have witnessed a significant growth in the use of
IoT and distributed sensor systems in a number of application areas,
ranging from smart transport, energy and buildings, to factory automation,
smart healthcare and environmental monitoring. In order for smart sensor
systems to truly become useful and pervasive, we need to address a number
of research challenges, including the tight integration of sensing and
machine intelligence, reliable and efficient networking, interoperability
and scalability, the need for dependable autonomy, interaction with humans,
and important aspects of security, privacy and trust. DCOSS focuses on
issues arising in the entire IoT and networked sensor systems stack,
covering aspects of high-level abstractions, models and languages, novel
algorithms and applications, system design approaches and architectures, as
well as tools for simulated and real deployments. Potential authors are
invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate recent
advances in both theoretical and experimental research.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
● Artificial Intelligence for IoT
● Machine learning and data mining for IoT and sensor systems
● Smart healthcare to combat epidemics (including COVID-19)
● Edge and fog computing: distributed computing models from sensor to cloud
● Energy harvesting models and optimization
● Machine intelligence in distributed sensor systems and real time analytics
● Communication and networking primitives / protocols for wireless embedded
systems / cross-technology communication schemes
● Autonomy: closing the loop between sensing and actuation
● Time and location management
● Task allocation, reprogramming, and reconfiguration
● Robustness, resilience, and dependability
● Security and privacy issues
● Approaches, tools, and experience of deployment and operation
● Performance analysis: complexity, correctness, scalability
● Mobile and human-centered sensing
● Interoperability, heterogeneity and scalability
● Social sensing and crowd sensing and techniques, applications, and systems
● Complex systems comprising wearable, robotic and/or fixed sensor systems

[DMANET] Open PhD position at the research group Theoretical Computer Science at University of Siegen, Germany

Open PhD position at the research group Theoretical Computer Science at University of Siegen, Germany
(Payment German TV-L 13)

The research group for Theoretical Computer Science is offering a PhD position starting at January 1, 2022 earliest.
The position is partly funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) within the project Streaming Automata Theory.
The salary is based on 13 TV-L (salary class 13 in the German federal state employees salary scheme TV-L) and the
duration is 3 years with the possibility of an extension.

* Your tasks:

- Scientific study and publication of the outcome in the usual form
- Working on your dissertation
- Support of students assisting the project
- The position does not demand teaching for the first 2 years. In the third year there is a teaching obligation of 4 x 45 min per
week during the semester.


* Your profile:

- University degree (diploma or master) in Computer Science or Mathematics
- Knowledge of one or more of the following subjects is favorable: algorithms, automata theory, formal languages, complexity theory.
- Basic knowledge of the German language is an advantage but not essential.


* Short description of the research project Streaming Automata Theory:

Streaming algorithms are currently a very active research area. Typical problems addressed
in this area are the computation of statistical information over data streams in small space,
graph algorithms for streamed graphs, query processing, and complex event processing.
Surprisingly, apart from a few exceptions, automata theoretic questions have been widely
neglected in the area of streaming algorithms. The goal of the research project is to further
develop an automat-theoretic framework for studying streaming problems. This involves
techniques from various areas of theoretical computer science: automata theory, string algorithms,
lower bound techniques, communication complexity, semigroup theory, and logic. Potential
applications of this fundamental research can be found for instance in XML processing, complex
event processing, or bioinformatics.


Applications can be made via

[DMANET] Postdoc positions in combinatorial optimization at University of Copenhagen

The Department of Computer Science (DIKU) at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for postdoc positions in combinatorial optimization.

We are looking for outstanding junior researchers with an innovative mind-set and intellectual curiosity to strengthen and complement the research profile of the Mathematical Insights into Algorithms for Optimization (MIAO) group headed by Jakob Nordstrom (www.jakobnordstrom.se), which is active at both the University of Copenhagen and Lund University on either side of the Oresund Bridge.

The MIAO research group has a unique profile in that we are doing cutting-edge research both on the mathematical foundations of efficient computation and on state-of-the-art practical algorithms for real-world problems. This creates a very special environment, where we do not only conduct in-depth research on different theoretical and applied topics, but where different lines of research cross-fertilise each other and unexpected and exciting synergies often arise. Much of the activities of the group revolve around powerful algorithmic paradigms such as, e.g., Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solving, Groebner basis computations, integer linear programming, and constraint programming. This leads to classical questions in computational complexity theory—though often with new, fascinating twists—but also involves work on devising clever algorithms that can exploit the power of such paradigms in practice.

We are fortunate to be part of the Algorithms and Complexity Section at DIKU, which is world-leading in algorithms and complexity theory (currently ranked 6th worldwide by CSrankings.org). DIKU hosts the Basic Algorithms Research Copenhagen (BARC) centre joint with the IT University of Copenhagen, and we also have extensive collaborations with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and with Lund University on the Swedish side of the Oresund Bridge, as well as with our many visitors. 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. While the focus in on foundational research, we do have a track record of surprising algorithmic discoveries leading to major industrial applications.

These postdoc positions are full-time research positions for a duration of two years. Teaching of advanced courses is encouraged but not required. Travel funding is included, and we also expect to start receiving visitors again on a regular basis as the pandemic situation is now improving. The starting date would ideally be in early 2022 but is flexible.

The University of Copenhagen is currently expanding strongly in computer science. We expect to have tenure-track openings in in the coming years, and welcome postdoctoral researchers interested in exploring such opportunities.

The application deadline is November 28, 2021. See http://www.jakobnordstrom.se/openings/Postdoc-UCPH-211128.html for the full announcement with more information and instructions for how to apply. Informal enquiries are welcome and may be sent to jakob.nordstrom@cs.lth.se.

computational problems) and meta-mathematics of complexity.
However, students will have the freedom to pursue their own
ideas within complexity if they choose so. Apart from generous
funding for equipment and travel covered, the position offers
an exciting opportunity to conduct internationally leading and
impactful basic research in a major computer science department
at the heart of London, with many leading research groups and
other institutions nearby. We have specific close ties, including
joint seminars, etc. with the complexity groups at Oxford and

[DMANET] New open access journal: Computing in Geometry and Topology

Dear all,

As of this week, the new diamond open access journal

Computing in Geometry and Topology

is welcoming submissions. The website of the journal is
https://www.cgt-journal.org/index.php/cgt
Here you can also find the editorial board, the submission guidelines,
the scope, and a style file.

If you have any questions about the journal, please send them to
info@cgt-journal.org

Best regards,
David Eppstein, Marc van Kreveld, and Wolfgang Mulzer


--------- purpose and scope ------------------

Computing in Geometry and Topology aims to support the broader
computational geometry and topology community by being a peer-reviewed
scientific journal that provides diamond open access. Computing in
Geometry and Topology is sponsored by the Society for Computational
Geometry.

With the broader computational geometry and topology community, we
include researchers in discrete and combinatorial geometry, and any
application area of computational geometry and topology. We also
include algorithm engineering for geometric computations.

The journal publishes two types of papers. Firstly, the journal
publishes original research of sufficient depth and interest.
Secondly, the journal publishes high-quality survey papers. Every
paper has been thoroughly reviewed by experts in the area.

To emphasize the breadth of the interpretation of computational
geometry and topology, the editorial board has different sections that
represent the algorithmic and mathematical aspects, the applied
aspects, and the engineering aspects.

[DMANET] WINE 2021 +++ Registration is open +++ Call for Posters +++ Call for Nominations for Spotlights Beyond WINE +++

============================================================
WINE 2021: The 17th Conference on Web and Internet Economics
December 14-17, 2021
Hasso Plattner Institute, Potsdam, Germany
https://hpi.de/wine2021/
============================================================

WINE 2021 will be a hybrid conference with on-site and virtual participants!

The conference features 4 invited talks, 41 paper presentations, a
poster session, a session on spotlights beyond WINE, and tutorial workshops.

The accepted papers of WINE 2021 can be found at:
https://hpi.de/wine2021/accepted-papers/

====================
Call for Nominations
====================

Nominations for papers for the special session on spotlights beyond WINE
can be submitted until November 10 2021.

More details can be found here:
https://hpi.de/wine2021/spotlights-beyond-wine-call-for-nominations/

================
Call for Posters
================

Submissions for poster presentations are possible until November 04 2021.

Details on the poster session can be found here:
https://hpi.de/wine2021/call-for-posters/

============
Registration
============

The registration for WINE 2021 is open:
https://hpi.de/wine2021/registration/

We encourage on-site participation but virtual participation is also
allowed.

The current travel regulations allow for a quarantine-free travel to
Germany from almost every country given that the traveler is vaccinated
against COVID-19 or recently recovered. Hotels in Potsdam and Berlin
require a vaccination or recovery certificate (in some places also
officially certified quick tests suffice) and the same
(vaccination/recovery certificate or official quick test on a day-to-day
basis) will be needed for on-site admission to WINE 2021. We will do our
best to create a safe situation for all on-site participants by adhering
to the official social distancing and mask wearing rules. (See the
registration website for more details.)

Note that the social distancing rules also imply that we can only admit
a limited number of on-site participants. Hence, we encourage on-site
participants to register as early as possible! The registration for
on-site participants will close on November 28 2021.

Given all this, we hope that the hybrid WINE 2021 will be a low-risk
opportunity for finally bringing the community physically together after
a long time of only virtual meetings.

Potsdam and Berlin are touristic hot-spots in Germany and always worth a
visit, especially in the weeks before Christmas!
