[DMANET] online resources --- Operational Research (OR) for Developing Countries --- responsibility, creativity, optimization (by IFORS)

The aim of the IFORS ( International Federation of Operational Research Societies) 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 (DCs). We would be glad about interest.



Contributions from art and science, communication and education sectors are warmly welcome by our community which has very little access to emerging documents on arts and sciences, research, design and development.



"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 nontrivial situations, Operational Research gives executives the power to make more effective decisions and build more productive systems.



is an almost 60-year old organization which is currently composed of 51 national societies. Regional Groups of are:
IFORS IFORS (The Latin American Ibero Association on Operations Research), (The Association of Asian-Pacific Operational Research Societies), (The Association of European Operational Research Societies), (The Association of North American Operations Research Societies). ALIO APORS EURO NORAM


are taking place every three years. On IFORS 2021, Seoul, South Korea, August 22-27, 2021, please refer to IFORS conferences

[DMANET] 1st Workshop on Approaches to Modelling Heterogeneous Interacting Systems

[Please share with those who may be interested. Apologies for any
cross-postings. Thank you.]


1st Workshop on Approaches to Modelling Heterogeneous Interacting Systems

In Association with Financial Cryptography & Data Security '22

When: February 18, 2022
Where: Radisson Grenada Beach Resort, Grenada

Info: https://fc22.ifca.ai/amhis/

Call for papers

Modelling plays an important role in how individuals, organizations, and
governments understand, reason about, and make decisions about systems and their
security. Economic, game-theoretic, logical, graphical, statistical, and systems
models --- and more --- are all used to understand the behaviour of systems,
estimate risk, evaluate system designs, and plan policies. Modern systems are
complex in themselves and integrated into systems of systems. Systems no longer
exist in isolation, but interact with each other, forming ecosystems --- and new
approaches are needed to model such systems.

Being able to model and reason about ecosystems is becoming increasingly
important. Consider financial systems. The Basel III proposals have placed a
strong emphasis on providing operational risk factors for financial
institutions. Furthermore, the MiFID II/MiFIR places a strong emphasis on
tracking intention in financial instruments. The majority of mechanisms and
tracking approaches rely on secure information ecosystems formed by overlapping
architectures of varying vintages that map sets of systems together. The
security of such systems requires quite sophisticated modelling to combine both
the security and economic components. Modelling requires that information is
securely transmitted and then to conduct valid computations and transformations,
often as a function of a number of states of nature.

Movement towards combinations of centralized and decentralized financial
information networks substantially complicates the modelling requirements for
the security of such systems. The integrity of both the underpinning
infrastructure and the economic integrity (for instance margin monitoring) are
now correlated, particularly under `tail events' or edge cases. In some cases
these events are by happenstance, but often there is a strategic component that
has been designed to obtain beneficial positions, often at the expense of the
sustainability of the markets facilitated by the information systems. Examples
of this kind of issues range from Ponzi schemes in Ethereum DAOs to sudden
shocks to auction rate securities and sudden liquidity dry-ups in CDOs and swap
markets.

The objective of this session will be to explore how models can be used to
understand the stability and security of these complex ecosystems. A particular
interest will be focused on the complexity of modelling the interaction of
decentralized and centralized information systems (such as brokerage networks
trading in bitcoin). At present there is almost no significant research focused
on providing guidance to financial regulators/policy makers and large
institutions on how to understand risks from integrating these systems or how to
record and report anomalies.

The workshop welcomes short and full paper submissions of up to 15 pages in
Springer LNCS format on related topics such as, but not limited to:

* modelling decentralized systems, particularly financial systems,
* decision-making and edge-case testing financial infrastructure that combines
DeFi and centralized platforms (notably brokerage, margining validation, order
flows, double auctions, and associated order books),
* challenges and approaches to ecosystem modelling,
* the role of interfaces and composition in modelling,
* modelling the integration of new components into existing systems,
* using models to understand risk, resilience, and sustainability of interacting
systems.
* model checking for ecosystem models.

[DMANET] EURO Summer Institute on Location Science: 11 – 24 June 2022 Edinburgh, United Kingdom. The deadline for submission is 10 January 2022.

Apologies for cross-posting

EURO Summer Institute on "Location Science"
EURO Working Group on Locational Analysis (EWGLA)
11 – 24 June 2022
Edinburgh, United Kingdom

www.maths.ed.ac.uk/ESI2022/index.html.

Overview

14 years have passed since the twenty-fifth EURO Winter Institute on
Location and Logistics held in Estoril, Portugal, in January and February
2007. It was the last one devoted to locational analysis and five laureates
of previous Summer/Winter Institutes felt it was high time to organise
another one devoted to location science, taking place in Edinburgh,
Scotland, from 11 June to 24 June 2022.

EURO Summer/Winter Institutes are an instrument EURO has established for
the encouragement of good scientific and social relationships between
promising early stage OR scientists. The main purpose of the institutes is
to establish in each field of OR a network of outstanding people who will
continue to work together in the future. Participation at an ESI is an
honor.

The scientific sessions will be hosted at the International Centre for
Mathematical Sciences (ICMS) in the Bayes Centre, a modern building in the
city centre. Accommodation will be provided at Pollock Halls, an
accommodation on campus, and laureates will share a double room with
another laureate. Both venues belong to The University of Edinburgh and are
15-20 minutes walking from each other, a very nice walk in a very safe
neighbourhood.

Scientific Programme

To be eligible, a candidate must be the main contributor of a
single-authored or co-authored paper related to the field of Location
Science, which has not yet been published or accepted for publication.
Topics of interest are, for example:

*Network location
*Continuous location
*Location-routing
*Hub location
*Geographical information systems and location
*Supply chain design
*Discrete location
*Location under uncertainty
*Location in healthcare

Each laureate will give a presentation of 45 minutes about their paper,
plus questions.
Moreover, there will be presentations from international experts. Please be
aware that this list might be subject to changes.

In addition to those presentations, we intend to hold three workshops, each
coordinated by two or three of the invited speakers. During these
workshops, the laureates, split into groups, will have the chance of
working together on a given topic. After two days, each group will present
its findings to all laureates.
These workshops give the laureates the opportunity to delve deeper into
some of the topics addressed in the talks of the experts. Furthermore, we
hope to encourage laureates to work together on some problems and,
hopefully, lay the grounds for future collaborations among them.
The first workshop will start in the middle of the first week, with the
presentations on Friday. The other two workshops will be scheduled for the
second week. This schedule is not only to give enough time for the
laureates to get to know each other, but also to ensure that by the time of
the workshops, the laureates have already attended the relevant lectures
for the corresponding topics.

Finally, we are very pleased to say that there will be a special issue of
Computers & Operations Research covering the topics of the ESI and that
selected papers of the Institute will be eligible for submission.

Social Programme

Several social activities are planned to encourage laureates to socialise.
The (tentative) list of activities includes

*a ceilidh (a traditional Scottish dance)
*a guided city tour of Edinburgh, including a hike to Arthur's Seat
a Whisky tasting at the Scotch Malt Whisky Society
and an excursion to North Berwick, a scenic seaside village 25 miles east
of Edinburgh, including a boat trip to the famous Bass Rock with its
stunning population of gannets and puffins, and a walk along the coast to
Tantallon Castle, a ruined mid-14th-century fortress

Applying to the ESI

If accepted, the ESI will cover the full cost for accommodation and board
of each laureate for the duration of the institute.

Who can apply?

To apply to the ESI, you

*Have to be a current PhD student or researcher with less than two years
research experience since completing your PhD.
*Have to come from a EURO member society country, or study in a EURO member
society country. Additionally, up to two candidates can be appointed by
IFORS, according to the EURO and IFORS exchange for ESWIs.
*Must not have been a laureate of a previous EURO Summer/Winter Institute.

What to submit?

*A Curriculum Vitae, including information about your education, research
projects, publications, awards, and other pertinent experiences (pdf
format).
*A single-authored or co-authored paper in the field of "Location Science"
where you are the main contributor and which has not yet been published or
accepted for publication (pdf format).
*A statement outlining your motivation for participating in the ESI (at
most one page).

How to submit?

The only official way to submit your application is through the EURO portal:

https://www.euro-online.org/awards/esi2022/registration.php

The deadline for submission is 10 January 2022.

What next?

The admission process for candidates will focus on the quality of their

- Names and contact information of the organizers, including a brief statement on their background and past workshop experience.
- A description of the workshop planning processes, including the invitation and selection of participants, the refereeing of papers, a tentative program committee if available, and any other pre-workshop activities.
- A summary of the planned workshop activities including length of time (full day or half day), space required (i.e., room capacity), and the expected workshop outputs. A desired schedule, i.e., approximate number of papers, invited talks, panels, and/or discussion sessions.
- Whether the workshop is new or an ongoing workshop. Information on past editions of the workshop (if applicable) including:
-- History and frequency of the workshop
-- Previous conference co-locations
-- URLs, if available
-- Approximate attendance (for each past edition)
-- How papers were published (website, IEEE, ACM, etc.).
- Communities from which participation is expected.


# Acceptance and Publication
Acceptance will be based on an evaluation of the workshop's potential for generating useful results, the timeliness of and expected interest in the topic, and the proposers' ability to lead a successful workshop.
Accepted workshops will have a two-page proceedings-format summary (generated by the workshop organizers) published in the Main Proceedings of the conference.

SUBMISSION FORMAT

The authors should submit an extended abstract not exceeding 15 pages,
including figures, title, authors, affiliations, e-mail addresses, and
a short abstract. The authors are required to use the LaTeX style file
supplied by Dagstuhl (LIPIcs) with the original settings (including
the font size and the margins). References will not be counted in the
page limit. At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to
present the paper at the conference as a registered participant.

Papers must be submitted as a single file in PDF format.

Additional material intended for the referee but not for publication
in the final version—for example details of proofs—may be placed in a
clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit.

Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously
unpublished work. At the time the extended abstract is submitted to
CPM, and for the entire review period, the paper (or essentially the
same paper) should not be under review by any other conference with
published proceedings or by a scientific journal.

Experimental results described in the paper, if any, should be
replicable: the code and the data should be public and have reasonable
documentation in order to compile and produce comparable results on
the provided data.

COVID-19

We are carefully watching the situation with the Covid-19 pandemic. We
hope to conduct a physical event, but we will certainly offer the
possibility of remote participation (with a significantly lower
registration fee) for those who are unable to come due to travel
restrictions or other circumstances. In the worst case, we will move
the event online but are not planning to postpone it.

[DMANET] [PSD 2022] PRIVACY IN STATISTICAL DATABASES, Springer LNCS, Paris, France, Sept. 2022

** Apologies for Cross-postings -- please share **

PRIVACY IN STATISTICAL DATABASES 2022 (PSD 2022)
================================================

Paris, France, September 14-16, 2022

http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2022

Submission deadline: *MAY 15, 2022*

1. AIMS AND GOAL
-----------------


Privacy in statistical databases is about finding trade-offs to the
tension between the increasing societal and economical demand for
accurate information and the legal and ethical obligation to protect
the privacy of individuals and enterprise which are the respondents
providing the statistical data. In the case of statistical databases,
the motivation for respondent privacy is one of survival: data
collectors cannot expect to collect accurate information from
individual or corporate respondents unless these feel the privacy of
their responses is guaranteed.

Beyond respondent privacy, there are two additional privacy dimensions
to be considered: privacy for the data owners (organizations owning or
gathering the data, who would not like to share the data they have
collected at great expense) and privacy for the users (those who
submit queries to the database and would like their analyses to stay
private).

"Privacy in Statistical Databases 2022" (PSD 2022) is a conference
sponsored and organized by the UNESCO Chair in Data Privacy
(http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat) with proceedings published by
Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The purpose
of PSD 2022 is to attract world-wide, high-level research in
statistical database privacy.

PSD 2022 is a successor to

PSD 2020 (online, Sep. 23-25, 2020,
https://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2020/),
PSD 2018 (Valencia, Sep. 26-28, 2018,
https://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2018/),
PSD 2016 (Dubrovnik, Sep. 14-16, 2016,
https://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2016/),
PSD 2014 (Eivissa, Sep. 17-19, 2014,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2014/),
PSD 2012 (Palermo, Sep. 26-28, 2012,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2012),
PSD 2010 (Corfu, Sep. 22-24, 2010,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2010),
PSD 2008 (Istanbul, Sep. 24-26, 2008,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2008),
PSD 2006 (Rome, Dec. 13-15, 2006,
http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2006)
and PSD 2004 (Barcelona, June 9-11, 2004,
http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2004),

all with proceedings published by Springer in LNCS 12276, LNCS 11126,
LNCS 9867, LNCS 8744, LNCS 7556, LNCS 6344, LNCS 5262, LNCS 4302 and
LNCS 3050, respectively. Those ten PSD conferences follow a tradition
of high-quality technical conferences on SDC which started with
"Statistical Data Protection-SDP'98", held in Lisbon in 1998 and with
proceedings published by OPOCE, and continued with the AMRADS project
SDC Workshop, held in Luxemburg in 2001 and with proceedings published
in Springer LNCS 2316.

Like the aforementioned preceding conferences, PSD 2022 originates in
Europe, but wishes to stay a worldwide event in database privacy and
SDC. Thus, contributions and attendees from overseas are welcome.
