============================================

Papers:

A submitted paper should clearly motivate the importance of the
problem being addressed, discuss prior work and its relationship to
the paper, explicitly and precisely state the paper's key
contributions, and outline the key technical ideas and methods used to
achieve the main claims. A submission should strive to be accessible
to a broad audience, as well as having sufficient details for experts
in the area.

There are two types of submissions: regular papers and brief
announcements. Regular papers must report on original research that
has not previously been published (and may not be concurrently
submitted to other journals or conferences with proceedings).  All
ideas necessary for an expert to fully verify the central claims in a
paper, including experimental results, should be included in the
submission.

A brief announcement may describe work in progress or work presented
elsewhere. A brief announcement may also present a result that is
short and elegant, but does not require a longer paper. It may also be
used to announce a software distribution or an experimental results of
interest that can be concisely described.

Submission format:

Submissions must be in English in pdf format and they must be prepared
using the LaTeX style template for LIPIcs
(https://submission.dagstuhl.de/series/details/5#author) with

\documentclass[a4paper,anonymous,USenglish]{lipics-v2021}.

Submissions must be anonymous, without any author names, affiliations,
or email addresses. The contact information of the authors will be
entered separately in Easychair.

For regular papers, there is no page limit, and authors are encouraged
to use the full version of their paper as the submission. The
initial 15 pages should contain a clear presentation of the merits of
the paper, including a discussion of the paper's importance within the
context of prior work and a description of the key technical and
conceptual ideas used to achieve its main claims.  (Illustrative
figures are encouraged.) The submission must contain full proofs of
all claims in the paper.

Although there is no bound on the length of a submission, material
other than the first 15 pages will be read at the committee's
discretion. Papers submitted as brief announcements should comply with
the above rules, replacing 15 pages with 5 pages.

Submissions not conforming to the submission guidelines and papers
outside of the scope of the conference will be rejected without
consideration.

Anonymous Submissions:

We will use a relaxed implementation of double-blind peer review.
Submissions must not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In
particular, authors' names and affiliation should not appear in the
document itself. Authors should ensure that any references to their
own related work are in the third person (e.g., not "We build on our
previous work …" but rather "We build on the work of …"). The purpose
of this process 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.

You are free to disseminate your work through arXiv and other online
repositories and give presentations on your work as usual. Moreover,
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.

Brief announcements should also be submitted without author names and
affiliations so that a reviewer can form an initial judgment without
bias, but they can contain a reference to the full version of the work
in the bibliography.

Please feel free to ask the PC chair if you have any questions about
the double-blind policy of DISC 2022.

Conflict of Interest

The submission form provides an opportunity to specify conflicts of
interest with any of the PC members. If you feel that you have a
valid reason for a conflict of interest beyond the PC members, or any
other issues related to the fair treatment of your submission, contact
the PC chair or the SafeTOC representative for DISC (which can be
found on the DISC webpage).

Publication

The proceedings will be published by LIPIcs. The final version of the
paper has to be formatted following the LIPIcs guidelines. Regular
papers will have up to 15 pages in the final proceedings (excluding
the front page, the references, and a brief appendix (of up to 5
pages), and brief announcements will have 3 pages in the proceedings
(including everything). If more space is needed, the authors are
encouraged to post the full version e.g. on arXiv and refer to it in
their paper.

Accepted papers and brief announcements must be presented by one of
the authors, with a full registration and according to the final
schedule. Any submission accepted into the technical program but not
presented on-site will be withdrawn from the final proceedings.

The submission site will be posted shortly on the DISC website.

Awards

Awards will be given to the best paper and the best student paper. To
be eligible for the best student paper award at least one of the paper
authors must be a full-time student at the time of submission, and the
student(s) must have made a significant contribution to the paper.

IAM is held as part of the 2022 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO-2022), July 9-13, Boston (hybrid), USA.


Aims and Scope
=============

Metaheuristics have been applied successfully to many aspects of applied mathematics and science, showing their capabilities to deal effectively with problems that are complex and otherwise difficult to solve. There are a number of factors that make the usage of metaheuristics in industrial applications more and more interesting. These factors include the flexibility of these techniques, the increased availability of high-performing algorithmic techniques, the increased knowledge of their particular strengths and weaknesses, the ever increasing computing power, and the adoption of computational methods in applications. In fact, metaheuristics have become a powerful tool to solve a large number of real-life optimization problems in different fields and, of course, also in many industrial applications such as production scheduling, distribution planning, and inventory management.

This workshop proposes to present and debate about the current achievements of applying these techniques to solve real-world problems in industry and the future challenges, focusing on the (always) critical step from the laboratory to the shop floor. A special focus will be given to the discussion of which elements can be transferred from academic research to industrial applications and how industrial applications may open new ideas and directions for academic research.

Topic areas include (but are not restricted to):

- Success stories for industrial applications of metaheuristics
- Pitfalls of industrial applications of metaheuristics.
- Metaheuristics to optimize dynamic industrial problems.
- Multi-objective optimization in real-world industrial problems.
- Meta-heuristics in large-scale constrained industrial optimization problems.
- Reduction of computing times through parameter tuning and surrogate modelling.
- Parallelism and/or distributed design to accelerate computations.
- Algorithm selection and configuration for complex problem solving.
- Advantages and disadvantages of metaheuristics when compared to other techniques.
- New research topics for academic research inspired from industrial applications.


Submission
============

Authors can submit:
- Short contributions including position papers of up to 4 pages - and/or
- Regular contributions of up to 8 pages.

In both cases, it is mandatory to follow the official GECCO paper formatting guidelines. Please see the GECCO 2022 information for workshop authors for further details regarding formats and how to submit, accessible through https://gecco-2022.sigevo.org/Call-for-Workshop-Papers.

[DMANET] CfP: COMPETITION ON EVOLUTIONARY SUBMODULAR OPTIMISATION

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
COMPETITION ON EVOLUTIONARY SUBMODULAR OPTIMISATION
to be held as part of the 2022 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2022) organised by ACM SIGEVO (https://gecco-2022.sigevo.org).
Submodular functions play a key role in the area of optimisation as they allow to model many real-world optimisation problems. Submodular functions model a wide range of problems where the benefit of adding solution components diminishes with the addition of elements. They form an important class of optimization problems, and are extensively studied in the literature. Problems that may be formulated in terms of submodular functions include influence maximization in social networks, maximum coverage, maximum cut in graphs, sensor placement problem, and sparse regression. In recent years, the design and analysis of evolutionary algorithms for submodular optimisation problems has gained increasing attention in the evolutionary computation and artificial intelligence community.
The aim of the competition is to provide a platform for researchers working evolutionary computing methods and interested in benchmarking them on a wide class of combinatorial optimization problems. The competition will benchmark evolutionary computing techniques for submodular optimisation problems and enable performance comparison for this type of problems. It provides an idea vehicle for researchers and students to design new algorithms and/or benchmark their existing approaches on a wide class of combinatorial optimization problems captured by submodular functions.
Competition webpage: https://cs.adelaide.edu.au/~optlog/CompetitionESO2022.php
The submission deadline: 26 June 2022, AoE.
Organisers: Aneta Neumann, the University of Adelaide, Australia,
Frank Neumann, the University of Adelaide, Australia,
Chao Qian, Nanjing University, China.

Please feel free to forward this call to any colleagues who may be interested in the competition on Evolutionary Submodular Optimisation.
We are looking forward to your submission. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Best wishes,
Aneta, Frank and Chao

[DMANET] Workshop on Prediction and Optimisation

Workshop on Prediction and Optimisation
Lancaster University, UK, 16th-17th June 2022
(Online-only participation also possible.)

Analytics solutions typically involve both prediction and optimisation (aka predictive and prescriptive analytics), but they are often conducted separately. Recently, researchers have looked at the possibility of more integrated approaches. This workshop aims to raise awareness of recent developments in this area, and stimulate discussion and collaboration.

There will be a single stream of talks, rather than parallel sessions. We welcome submissions on any topic related the theme, but especially welcome submissions on data-driven optimisation; optimisation for machine learning and data science; data science for optimisation; forecasting for optimisation/optimising with forecasts; or applications to real-life problems.

Abstracts must be submitted by 22nd April 2022 by email to mailto:stori-pop@lancaster.ac.uk. Submissions must be no more than 1 page and in plain text.

Cost: £100 for physical attendance, £30 for online attendance.

Important dates:
Abstract submission deadline: 22nd of April 2022.
Registration deadline: 6th of May 2022.
Workshop: 16th and 17th of June 2022.

[DMANET] [CFP - Deadline extended] 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

[DMANET] Dutch Day of Combinatorics–12 May, 2022

Dutch Day of Combinatorics–12 May, 2022

The Dutch Combinatorics Network will host an in-person Dutch Day of
Combinatorics (DDoC) on 12 May, 2022 at Eindhoven University of Technology.

The goal of the DDoC is to reconnect in-person and share recent research
activities with one another, and thus strengthen and further build the
combinatorics activity here in the Netherlands.

We are very excited to have two plenary speakers: Carla Groenland from
Utrecht University and Ross J. Kang from Radboud University.

There will also be time for contributed talks and posters at all levels.
We very much hope you will present your work so everyone can begin to
reconnect as we come out of the period of covid isolation.

We are planning to hold this event in person. However, due to the
uncertainty of covid and to provide additional flexibility, the event will
also have a hybrid format.

Registration is free, but it is important to register on time so that
scheduling and catering arrangements can be made. The registration
deadline is 30 April 2022.

You can find more information and a registration link here:
https://doc2022.weebly.com/

We gratefully acknowledge the support of NETWORKS and Eindhoven University
for this event.

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

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message]

CALL FOR PAPERS

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

Important dates

- Paper Submission: April 1, 2022 AoE (firm)
- Acceptance Notification: April 21, 2022
- Camera Ready: April 27, 2022

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

Final versions due: August 20
VENUE
The workshop will take place in Genova Nervi, Italy, in the Collegio
Emiliani (http://www.collegioemiliani.it/, information available only in
Italian on this link), which is a college directly situated on the see.
(To be confirmed. Alternative: University of Genova.)
Genova is the capital of Liguria, stretching along the bay of the same
name from Nervi to the east as far as Voltri to the west. Genova's old
town district (reachable by local train, by bus, as well as by boat) is
one of the largest in Europe, and hosts some remarkable artistic and
architectural treasures, including the Palazzi dei Rolli, fifty or so
homes of the aristocracy entered on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Nervi is a former fishing village, now a suburb of Genoa, 7 km east of
central Genova. Two of the most important tourist attractions of Genoa
are in Nervi: the sea promenade, a 2 km walkway along the cliffs, and
the "Parchi di Nervi".
The sea promenade is famous for the stunning views that make it one of
Italy's most beautiful promenades. While the "Parchi di Nervi" is a park
of about 22 acres (9 hectares) created from the gardens of the Villa
Grimaldi, Villa Groppallo, and Villa Serra. It has typical Mediterranean
plant species and many exotic species and the entrance is just at the
end of the promenade.
In addition to offering a wealth of cultural attractions, Genova is a
fascinating destination for tourists, with its scenic vantage points,
sea promenades, aristocratic villas, and of course the Riviera to the
east and west, both easy to reach: Portovenere and Le Cinque Terre (also
UNESCO World Heritage Sites), Portofino and Camogli to the east and
Alassio, Sanremo, Bordighera to the west.
Of course, we will continuously monitor the pandemic situation in order
to evaluate whether the conference can be indeed held as an in-person
event, or we will need to switch to a hybrid event, if not completely
on-line.

[DMANET] [Scheduling seminar] Christian Artigues (LAAS - CNRS) | March 30 | Mixed integer linear programming for resource-constrained scheduling

Dear scheduling researcher,

We are delighted to announce the talk given by Christian Artigues (LAAS
- CNRS).
The title is "Mixed integer linear programming for resource-constrained
scheduling".
The seminar will take place on Zoom on Wednesday, March 30 at 13:00 UTC.

Join Zoom Meeting
https://cesnet.zoom.us/j/91490324777?pwd=dFV0UjRlL2UyZUg1ZC9ZdGtJb2FqUT09
Meeting ID: 914 9032 4777
Passcode: 848529

You can follow the seminar online or offline on our Youtube channel as well:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUoCNnaAfw5NAntItILFn4A

The abstract follows.
Mixed-Integer linear programming (MILP) is one of the generic modeling
and algorithmic solution framework for NP-hard scheduling problems,
along with Constraint Programming (CP) and SAT solvers. However, the
literature often reports poor results of MILP solvers for
resource-constrained scheduling problems compared to CP or SAT-based
approaches such as Lazy Clause Generation. However, even if this is
partly true because of the powerful dedicated scheduling algorithms
embedded in constraint propagators, MILP approaches can reach very good
results in terms of primal and dual bounds if the right formulation and
specialized MILP components such as valid inequalities and column
generation are chosen for the problem at hand. This talk first reviews
the standard MILP formulations for resource-constrained scheduling
problems and a few recent advances in the field. In particular, we focus
on basic polyhedral results, on the relative relaxation strength of
compact and extended formulations augmented with valid inequalities.
Finally, we provide examples, including industrial ones where MILP,
possibly integrated in hybrid CP/SAT/MILP methods, appears as a
technique of choice.

The next talk in our series will be given by:
Pascal Van Hentenryck (Georgia Tech) | April 13 | Constraint Programming
for Scheduling

[DMANET] LAMAS & SR 2022 - 1st Call for Contributions

[Apologies for multiple cross-posting]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1st Call for Contributions

2nd International Workshop on
Logical Aspects in Multi-Agent Systems and Strategic Reasoning (LAMAS&SR)
2022
25-26 August 2022, Rennes, France
URL: https://lamassr.github.io/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Objectives
----------

Logics and strategic reasoning play a central role in multi-agent systems.
Logics can be used, for instance, to express the agents' abilities,
knowledge,
and objectives. Strategic reasoning refers to algorithmic methods that
allow for
developing good behaviour for the agents of the system. At the
intersection, we
find logics that can express existence of strategies or equilibria, and can
be
used to reason about them.

The LAMAS&SR workshop merges two international workshops: LAMAS (Logical
Aspects
of Multi-Agent Systems), which focuses on all kinds of logical aspects of
multi-agent systems from the perspectives of artificial intelligence,
computer
science, and game theory, and SR (Strategic Reasoning), devoted to all
aspects
of strategic reasoning in formal methods and artificial intelligence.

List of Topics
--------------

The topics covered by the workshop include, but are not limited to:

* Logical systems for specification, analysis, and reasoning about
multi-agent systems
* Logic-based modelling of multi-agent systems
* Dynamical multi-agent systems
* Deductive systems and decision procedures for logics for multi-agent
systems
* Development and implementation of methods for verification in multi-agent
systems
* Logic-based tools for multi-agent systems
* Logics for reasoning about strategic abilities
* Logics for multi-agent mechanism design, verification, and synthesis
* Logical foundations of decision theory for multi-agent systems
* Strategic reasoning in formal verification
* Automata theory for strategy synthesis
* Applications and tools for cooperative and adversarial reasoning
* Robust planning and optimisation in multi-agent systems
* Risk and uncertainty in multi-agent systems
* Quantitative aspects in strategic reasoning

Invited Speakers
----------------

* Rineke Verbrugge, University of Groningen

Co-Located Event
----------------

LAMAS&SR 2022 will be an event co-located with the 14th International
Conference
on Advances In Modal Logic (AiML 2022, 22-25 August).

About COVID-19
--------------

Local organizers are following closely the evolution of the pandemic
situation.
Our preference is for a full in-person event, but we will employ an online
or
hybrid format according to the situation.

Important Dates
---------------

* Paper submission: May 23 (AoE)
* Author notification: June 30 (AoE)
* Camera ready: July 15 (AoE)
* Workshop: August 25-26, 2022

Contribution Submission
-----------------------

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of 2 pages, plus 1 page for
references only, in the AAMAS 2022 format. Both published and unpublished
works
are welcome. Submissions are subject to a single-blind review process, thus,
submissions should not be anonymous, must be in PDF format, and will be
handled
via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lamassr22

Although there will be no formal proceedings, accepted extended abstracts
will
be made available on the workshop website. Extensions of selected original
contributions will be then invited to a special issue of Games, an MDPI
open-access journal, with a special arrangement.

[DMANET] 2nd CfP: AMAI Special Issue on Symbolic Computation in Software Science

Call for submissions

Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence
Special Issue on on Symbolic Computation in Software Science --
In the Era of Computational and Artificial Intelligence

https://www.risc.jku.at/people/tkutsia/organization/amai-scss.html
------------------------------------------------------------------

SCOPE
--------
In 2020, Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence (AMAI)
celebrated its 30th anniversary. Over the years, the journal has
promoted better understanding of the application of quantitative,
combinatorial, logical, algebraic and algorithmic methods to artificial
intelligence areas as diverse as decision support, automated deduction,
reasoning, knowledge-based systems, machine learning, computer vision,
robotics and planning. AMAI special issues are intended to be
collections of original research papers reflecting the intersection of
mathematics and a focused discipline demonstrating how each has
contributed greatly to the other. A further goal of the journal is to
close the gaps between the fields even further. Papers should report on
current research in the appropriate areas, as well as more retrospective
papers in which progress has been ongoing over a period of time.

The purpose of this special issue of AMAI is to promote research on
theoretical and practical aspects of symbolic computation in software
science, combined with recent artificial intelligence techniques.
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 which interact with humans
naturally by reasoning, aiming at learning at scale.

The special issue is related to the topics of the The 9th International
Symposium on Symbolic Computation in Software Science - SCSS 2021.
Participants of the symposium, as well as other authors are invited to
submit contributions.


TOPICS
-------------------
This special issue focuses on advanced results on the topics that
include, but are not limited to, the following:

- software science-relevant applications of
* automated reasoning, knowledge reasoning, common-sense
reasoning, reasoning in science
* combinations of linguistic/learning-based and semantic/reasoning
methods
* algebras, co-algebras, categories, proof theory, model theory

SCIENTIFIC SUPERVISOR Prof. Massimo Cafaro
RESEARCH TITLE LARGE SCALE DATA MANAGEMENT AND INTEGRATION

DESCRIPTION This is a three year "Marie Curie ETN Early Stage Researcher
position" on the following topic. The sheer quantum of data being
created and collected across jurisdictions requires a carefully planned
and proactive approach to data management. The need for fusion and
integration of multiple data sources characterized by fragmented data
ownership is driving innovative approaches to large scale distributed
data management and integration to avoid inconsistent and inaccurate
data. The aim is to investigate, design and implement a fully
decentralized solution to provide efficient management of dynamically
updated information and support for distributed queries. One or more
domain specific use cases shall be identified within the context of the
project, considering both the current and future needs of some of the
involved partners. These nicely fit into the research plan, owing to the
need of surveying the user's requirements to begin with; simultaneously,
the uses cases can also be thought of as sources of advanced data
management challenges.

For admission to the selection is required the possession of all the
requirements provided by law for access to public employment, the
eligibility requirements provided by the Marie Sklodowska- Curie Action
(https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/wp/2018-2020/main/h2020-wp1820-msca_en.pdf)
and the following requirements:
a) Master of Science degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering
or equivalent qualification that formally allows access to a PhD program
in Italy;
b) an excellent academic career;
c) must not have carried out more than 4 years of research activity
after obtaining the degree mentioned in the previous point within the
expected starting date of the contract (indicatively fixed at 01.03.2022);
d) have a background relevant to the following areas but not limited to:
distributed computing, databases, distributed data management, security
and privacy; knowledge of C/C++ programming languages and time series
archiving/analysis is a plus;
e) must not have a Ph.D. as of the contract start date;
f) must not have resided or carried out the main activity of study/work
in Italy for more than 12 months during the 3 years preceding the date
of the beginning of the contract;
g) have an excellent knowledge of the English language, in any case
sufficient to ensure the performance of the activity envisaged by the
contract and daily interaction in the working environment;
h) must not have criminal convictions or have pending criminal
proceedings of particular gravity.
Lack of even one of the above requirements will result in exclusion from
the selection process at any time. Qualifications obtained abroad must
normally be previously recognized in Italy in accordance with current
legislation. The equivalence of qualifications obtained abroad that have
not already been recognized in Italy will be evaluated by the Selection
Committee solely for the purpose of admitting the candidate to this call
for selection. The qualifications must be possessed on the date of
expiry of the deadline established for the presentation of applications
for admission to this selection. The University of Salento guarantees
equality and equal opportunities between men and women for the
allocation of the grants in question and the protection of
confidentiality in the processing of personal data, according to the
provisions in force.

[DMANET] [DEADLINE APPROACHING] The Fifth International Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (SNTA 2022)

Call for Papers
The Fifth International Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and
Analytics (SNTA 2022)
Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, June 27 - July 1, 2022 (in conjunction with
ACM HPDC 2022 (http://www.hpdc.org/2022/))

Scope:
The tasks of systems and network telemetry are a key element for
effective operations and management of HPC and distributed computing
systems, by offering comprehensive measurement and analysis capabilities
to provide the visibility into what is occurring at any time. The tasks
will be significantly complicated with the greater complexity of
computing systems, increasing network speed, and the newly introduced
mobile and IoT devices. Such changes will render the existing telemetry
and analysis techniques to be outdated, and more scalable techniques may
be in place for data-driven and deeper data analysis. In addition to the
quantitative and qualitative challenges, data pressure in systems and
networks also comes from various sources such as sensors, computing
systems, networking and security devices, and other \emerging computing
elements speaking with different syntax and semantics, which makes
organizing and incorporating the generated data difficult for extensive
analysis.

This workshop aims at bridging the systems and network measurement and
the latest advances in machine learning and data science technologies,
to advance the performance and reliability of HPC and distributed
systems. New analysis techniques are needed in the modern world, from
the diverse angles of systems/network performance, availability, and
security. For example, real-time streaming analytics algorithms and
methods need to be explored for estimating network performance and
summarizing the traffic variables to capture the network activities due
to the network bandwidth increase. Multivariate analysis of telemetric
variables may be able to provide the intuitive, comprehensive view of
the systems and networks dynamics. New logging techniques are also
needed in the future with the latest development in the storage and
archival technologies. In addition, many applications in this area may
need to address the application-specific requirements and challenges.
This workshop intends to share visions of investigating new approaches
and methods at the intersection of data sciences and HPC/distributed
computing systems.

Topic of interest (but not limited to):
Systems and network measurement, analysis, and summarization
Design and evaluation of HPC and distributed systems
Data-driven, multivariate, streaming-based data processing
Distributed and federated machine learning
Performance modeling, analysis, and engineering
Cybersecurity, forensics, privacy, and anonymization
Intelligent workflow, visualization, and applications
Smart instruments, edge/fog-systems, and IoTs
Wireless, mobile/5G/6G networks
Software-Defined-* technologies
Storage and archival technologies
Software analysis and verification methodologies
Experiences and practices on systems/network data analysis

Important dates:
Submission deadline: March 31, 2022
Author notification: April 18, 2022
Camera-ready deadline: May 2, 2022
Workshop: June 30, 2022

Paper submission:
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another
journal or conference. Authors are invited to submit either a full (max
8 pages) paper or a short/work-in-progress (max 4 pages) paper. Papers
will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published in the

[DMANET] [CFP - Deadline extended] 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
- Test-beds and experimental results for UAVs
- Single UAV applications
- Multi-UAV applications
- Energy-efficient UAV communications
- Machine learning for UAV communications
