[DMANET] [CFP] Wi-DroIT 2022 - 4th International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones in Internet of Things

Wi-DroIT 2022 - 4th International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones in Internet of Things

May 30 – June 1, 2022
co-located with DCOSS 2022

Website: https://widroit2022.github.io/
Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=widroit2022

Aims and Scope
Recently, the rapid development of Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, has highlighted a plethora of emergent applications such as infrastructure inspection and surveillance, smart agriculture, seek and rescue, parcel delivery, communications, and post-disaster recovery. In all these applications, UAVs may coexist with ground Internet of Things (IoT) devices. For example, UAVs autonomously perform remote sensing relaying the collected data by the sensors. Moreover, single or multiple UAVs can cooperatively collaborate providing services that require efficient protocols where multiple objectives and constraints should be accounted for.
For this workshop, we seek papers that combine the design of algorithms and testbed implementations to develop the theoretical foundations for UAVs as well as the synergies with IoT devices. The numerous emergent applications raised by IoT may require an interdisciplinary approach, involving techniques from algorithm foundations and different areas, such as computer networks, artificial intelligence, concurrent, parallel and distributed computing, security, digital signal, image and sound processing.

Topics of Interest
- Autonomous sensing via UAVs
- Topology monitoring with UAVs
- Remote sensing networks via UAVs
- Communication protocols of UAVs over IoT
- Modeling and analysis of UAVs over IoT
- Precision agriculture and UAVs
- Crops monitoring in agriculture
- Bugs monitoring in agriculture
- UAVs for environmental monitoring
- Autopilot and UAS autonomy
- UAVs path planning and scheduling
- Parcel delivery using UAVs
- Cellular networks and UAVs
- Constrained and multi-objectives problems
- Sensors localization with UAVs
- UAVs tracking techniques
- Cooperative control of multiple UAVs
- Cyber-security communications and UAVs
- Optimal UAV deployment strategies

[DMANET] Call for Papers: Minisymposium "Mathematics and Arts" (hybrid: online or Berlin, Germany), Abstract deadline March 31st

Call for papers

The minisymposium "Mathematics and Arts" will be part of the annual
conference of the German Mathematical Society, planned to take place in
Berlin, Germany, 12. - 16. September. While the conference is taking
place in-person, online participation of solely the minisymposium is
possible.

Our minisymposium aims to bring together researchers, artists, and
educators interested in the connection and collaboration of mathematics
and arts. We are looking for presentations of artistic objects that
include mathematical components and put a focus on the imparting of this
underlying mathematics. Furthermore, the talks can explore mathematical
themes that invite discussions of their illustrations and the embodied
artistic value.

As the mathematics component cannot be self-explanatory to the
lay-person, the minisymposium aims to present works that make it
explicit. For instance, geometric patterns and constructions can be an
invitation to explore deeper mathematics, but the talk should clearly
indicate how the recipient is brought into contact with mathematics via
the artwork. Furthermore, we are looking for contributions that provide
an educational opportunity for the observer. It should not only be
learned that an artwork includes mathematics in general, but what
specific mathematical elements it represents or captures. In this sense,
an exemplary learning outcome would be not only that Escher's works
include mathematics, but that they include elements of the wallpaper
group as well as an understanding of what this means. Finally, we are
looking for illustrations of mathematical ideas, concepts, and objects
that carry not only the underlying mathematics, but also an artistic value.

We aim to cover a variety of topics centered around the inclusion of
mathematics in different art forms like painting, sculpture,
architecture, textiles, or music. Moreover, we aim to address uses of
these combinations for example in high school and university teaching or
in outreach projects directed at the general public.

The official language of the minisymposium will be English. Each talk
will be given 20 minutes plus an additional 5 minutes for questions. To
propose a talk, please send an abstract of 1,000 to 1,500 characters
(including spaces) and an illustrating picture, a link to a video, or
some other supporting material to dmv.math.art@gmail.com by March 31st.

Selected authors will be invited to extend their abstracts to full
articles that will be published as a collection in the peer-reviewed
online journal "w/k". Find here a compilation of articles originating
from the 2020 rendition of the minisymposium.

If you have any questions, please send an email to dmv.math.art@gmail.com.

We are looking forward to your proposals,
Milena Damrau and Martin Skrodzki

Deadline for Talk Proposals: March 31st
Acceptance Notification: tba

[DMANET] Final Call for Papers - JGAA special issue on Parameterized and Approximation Algorithms in Graph Drawing

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue on Parameterized and Approximation Algorithms in Graph Drawing
of
Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications (JGAA)

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to invite you to submit a paper to the Special
Issue of Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications (JGAA) on
"Parameterized and Approximation Algorithms in Graph Drawing".

In the course of a few decades, the fields of parameterized complexity
and approximation algorithms have emerged as distinguished research
areas providing an impressive collection of broadly usable
methodologies and remarkable theoretical and practical contributions.
These branches of complexity theory provide a framework of powerful
techniques that allow us to tackle hard (often NP-hard) problems, by
either considering restricted graph classes or by seeking solutions
"close" to the optimal ones. Moreover, in recent years, the research
efforts in these two fields have converged into the study of the
unified notion of parameterized approximation algorithms.

CFP on the journal's page: https://jgaa.info/docs/cfp-param-algo.pdf

Submission Deadline: *March 25, 2022 (extended).*

Topics
======

The emphasis of this special issue is on original results in the areas
of fixed-parameter tractable and approximation algorithms in graph
drawing and network visualization. This includes, but is not limited
to, theoretical and combinatorial aspects that arise at the interface
of graph drawing with computational and discrete geometry,
combinatorial optimization, visual computing, VLSI and computer-aided
design, computer graphics, and information visualization. The range of
topics includes:

- fixed-parameter tractable and approximation algorithms
- (parameterized) inapproximability
- W[k]-hardness
- parameterized approximations
- (lossy) kernelization
- fine-grained complexity of approximations
- subexponential-time approximations

Other topics that are not listed but that might be of interest for the
study of parameterized and approximation algorithms in graph drawing
will also be evaluated. To bridge the gap between theory and practice,
we welcome contributions dealing with techniques and data structures
to obtain efficient parameterized and approximation algorithms to
tackle graph-visualization problems as well as implementations,
experimental evaluations, and algorithm engineering issues of
approximation, parameterized, and kernelization algorithms that emerge
in practice.

Paper Submission
================

We invite authors to submit papers describing original research of

[DMANET] CfP IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine -- Special Issue on Models of Representation in Computational Intelligence

(apologies for cross-posting)

_______________

IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine

***Special Issue on Models of Representation in Computational Intelligence***

Aims and Scope
--------------

Computational Intelligence (CI) provides a set of powerful tools to effectively tackle complex computational tasks: global optimization methods (e.g., evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence), machine learning (e.g., neural networks), and fuzzy reasoning.

While CI research activity generally focuses on the improvement of the algorithms (e.g., faster convergence, higher accuracy, reduced error), there is another promising research direction consisting in the modification of the representation of solutions.

This can be in the form of search space transformation, that is, dilating, shrinking, stretching, collapsing, or remapping the fitness landscape, leading to simplified formulations of the optimization problem. The use of surrogate modeling can further reduce the complexity - or the computational effort - of a CI task, by providing to the optimization algorithm a simplified or approximated version of the fitness landscape. Moreover, in discrete domains, the simplification of the problem can be obtained by embedding implicit or explicit assumptions into the structure of candidate solutions, so that the feasible search space can be explored by genetic operators in a "smarter" way, reducing the overall computational effort. In the contexts of machine learning or fuzzy modeling, the focus can switch on interpretability and explainability issues, two open issues that currently affect the trust in AI solutions and hamper the adoption of such techniques in several disciplines (in particular, biomedical applications).

While many times problem-specific strategies have been used, there is still a general lack of universal theories and results for the optimal way of selecting or building a representation of a particular problem, including the possibility of automatically generating representations.
Both theoretical and applied research can be performed in this novel field of research, driving new discoveries, novel perspectives in the context of fitness landscapes analysis, solutions representation, and generation of representation models, improving the performances and our understanding of existing algorithms. Consider the power of transcending search of a fitness landscape to generate novel fitness landscapes that transform the solubility of difficult problems.

This special issue aim at collecting research work introducing novel ideas in multiple areas:
- For evolutionary and population-based techniques, new variation operators and even new classes of global optimization meta-heuristics that might devote a part of their budget for fitness evaluations to automatically derive an optimal representation.
- New general techniques for the manipulation (e.g., shrinking, stretching, remapping) of the search space for a particular class of problems might be used to improve the performances and generality of most existing CI methods in that particular class of problems.
- Deep learning is capable of sophisticated pattern recognition using many layers of neural processing to extract more and more complex features. This suggests that deep learning could be employed to steer the process of self-organization of novel representations, abstracting the portions of the representational domain that yield better performance.
- This special issue is open to both novel directions on transforming problems (to make them easier to solve, or clear to interpret/analyse) or radically new algorithms (e.g., novel generative or implicit representations).
- From the point of view on interpretable and explainable AI, new theories about representation and communication can arise, providing domain experts with an increased level of understandability of the CI system.

Topics
------

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Non-conventional representations of candidate solutions
- Interpretable/explainable representations
- Surrogate models
- Graph-based representations
- Dilation functions and other functions that reshape the fitness landscape
- Fitness landscape transformation, simplification, and restriction
- Alternative semantics for candidate solutions
- Novel closed variation/evolutionary operators
- Implicit/relative representations
- Generative or developmental representations
- Self-adaptive representations
- Parameterized manifolds of representations
- State-conditioned representations
- Procedural representations
- Generative automata
