[DMANET] [CFP - Extended Deadline] CARDINAL 2023 - 1st International Workshop on Cost-effective Algorithms for Robots and Drones In Novel AppLications

CARDINAL 2023 - 1st International Workshop on Cost-effective Algorithms for Robots and Drones In Novel AppLications

January 4-7, 2023
co-located with ICDCN 2023

Website: https://cardinal2023.github.io/
Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/submission_new?a=29224148

Aims and Scope
Recently, the rapid development of Unmanned Vehicles (UVs) such as Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) (i.e., robots) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) (i.e., drones), has highlighted a myriad of new emergent applications such as infrastructure inspection and surveillance, smart agriculture, monitoring, search and rescue, parcel delivery, communications, and post-disaster recovery, just to mention a few. In all these novel applications, ground and aerial vehicles may jointly work together, and also coexist with ground Internet of Things (IoT) devices. For instance, multiple UGVs can perform particular tasks relying on the IoT sensors' perceived data, while a swarm of UAVs can assist the UGVs relaying the collected data by the UGVs to the base station, in order to infer opportune decisions and take actions. Therefore, efficient data collection and networking algorithms should be devised for.
For this workshop, we are looking for papers that combine the design of novel algorithms and testbed implementations to develop the theoretical foundations for UVs 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, networking, security, digital signal, image and sound processing.

Topics of Interest
- 5G and 6G applications with UVs
- Autonomous sensing via UVs
- Topology monitoring with UVs
- Remote sensing networks via UVs
- Communication protocols of UVs
- Modeling and analysis of UVs
- Precision agriculture and UVs
- UVs for environmental monitoring
- UVs path planning and scheduling
- Parcel delivery using UVs
- Constrained and multi-objectives problems
- Sensors localization with UVs
- UVs tracking techniques
- Cooperative control of multiple UVs
- Cyber-security communications and UVs
- Optimal UV deployment strategies
- Test-beds and experimental results for UVs
- Single- and Multi-UV applications
- Energy-efficient UV communications
- Machine learning for UV communications

Important dates
- Paper Submission: September 30th, 2022
- Acceptance Notification: October 15th, 2022
- Camera Ready: October 31st, 2022

[DMANET] PhD project on ‘Robust Transportation Routes for Disaster Areas’

The Fraunhofer ITWM and Institute for Computer Science at University of Wuerzburg are looking for a PhD student to work on a joint PhD project on 'Robust Transportation Routes for Disaster Areas' in collaboration with the World Food Programme of the United Nations.
In the event of disasters like earthquakes or floodings, getting help to the affected people fast is crucial. However, in particular in less developed regions, information on where help is needed most and to which extent transportation infrastructure is still usable is scarce. The Image Processing group at Fraunhofer ITWM has developed software that can identify destroyed buildings based on pictures taken by drones and thus help to prioritize which locations the help should be directed to.
The topic of the new PhD project is to determine robust transportation routes to reach the locations in question, based on geographical information and the state of roads and buildings as detected by the drones. The task includes an adequate modeling of the situation as optimization problem and the development and implementation of solution methods, taking into account the limited computation capacity on site.
The applicant should
• possess a Msc degree in Mathematics or Computer Science, Transport Engineering, quantitative Operations Research or similar,
• have experience with the design and implementation of algorithms and/or integer linear programming,
• like to present the research in written and oral form (publications and conference presentations), and
• enjoy working with different project partners
Please contact Marie Schmidt (marie.schmidt@uni-wuerzburg.de) for more information, or to send your application (including motivation letter, CV, diplomas and grade list)

[DMANET] [Scheduling seminar] Alix Munier Kordon (Sorbonne U., LIP6) | September 28 | Synchronous DataFlow: A survival guide

Dear scheduling researcher,

We are delighted to announce the talk given by Alix Munier Kordon
(Sorbonne U., LIP6).
The title is " Synchronous DataFlow: A survival guide ".

The seminar will take place on Zoom on Wednesday, September 28 at 13:00 UTC.
Join Zoom Meeting
https://cesnet.zoom.us/j/95675289257?pwd=bnBHNWJrcmJPTytmMC9xbU5IQ2JXUT09
Meeting ID: 956 7528 9257
Passcode: 105839

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

The abstract follows.
Synchronous Dataflow (SDF in short) were introduced in 1987 by Lee and
Messerschmitt to model data exchanges in embedded systems. A SDF is
usually defined by a directed graph, where each node is associated to a
task that may be executed infinetly often. Each arc represents a buffer
between two tasks. Moreover, the number of data samples produced or
consumed by each task on each execution is specified a priori. Nowadays,
SDF are considered by several scientific communities. It allows for
example to model the exchanges for the design of Digital Signal
Processings, or in real-time applications to run on a complex
architecture. The purpose of this talk is to present a set of
mathematical results developed on SDF, and to show how to use them to
solve concrete problems posed by their users. We will also do the link
with classical cyclic scheduling problems by demonstrating that the
buffers can be associated to usual precedence constraints between
successive task executions. We will conclude by some challenging open
questions.

The next talk in our series will be:
Greet Vanden Berghe (KU Leuven) | October 12 | Vehicle routing - a focus
on heuristic design.

The 9th International Conference on Social Networks Analysis, Management
and Security (SNAMS-2022)

http://emergingtechnet.org/SNAMS2022/index.php

Milan, Italy. November 29th - December 1st, 2022

*SNAMS 2022 CFP:*

Social network analysis is concerned with the study of relationships
between social entities. The recent advances in internet technologies and
social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, have created
outstanding opportunities for individuals to connect, communicate or
comment on issues or events of their interests. Social networks are dynamic
and evolving in nature; they also involve a huge number of users.
Frequently, the information related to a certain concept is distributed
among several servers. This brings numerous challenges to researchers,
particularly in the data mining and machine learning fields. The purpose of
the International Conference on Social Networks Analysis, Management and
Security(SNAMS-2022) is to provide a forum for researchers to present and
discuss their work which is related to social network analysis. The SNAMS
2022 is col-located with the 8th IEEE International Symposium on Internet
of Things: Systems, Management and Security (IoTSMS).

SNAMS 2022 aims to investigate the opportunities and in all aspects of
Social Networks. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help
mitigate SNAMS challenges. That is, the objective of SNAMS 2022 is to
provide the opportunity for students, scientists, engineers, and
researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience
on all aspects of Social Networks. Researchers are encouraged to submit
original research contributions in all major areas, which include, but not
limited to:

*SYSTEMS & INFRASTRUCTURE*

[DMANET] PhD Position: Theoretical Computer Science and Fairness

In order to deliver AI systems with full consideration of social welfare,
we are developing training algorithms that incorporate appropriate measures
of aspects of social concern. Several problems in the area could be seen as
winner determination in voting mechanisms. This opens a wealth of problems
on the interface of theoretical computer science, optimization, control,
and game theory.

There is a PhD studentship available at the Czech Technical University in
related topics, to be supervised by Jakub Marecek and Dusan Knop (Dept. of
Computer Science at the Czech Technical University) and Dimitris Fotakis
(School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National Technical
University of Athens), in close collaboration with the teams of Shie Mannor
(Technion), Robert Shorten (Imperial), and Dimitris Gunopulos (NKUA),
working together on AutoFair, the project funded by the European Commission
(EC). The project is a part of an EC initiative towards ensuring AI
development that is trustworthy and transparent.

We seek candidates with a Masters degrees in Computer Science, Mathematics,
Operations Research or related disciplines, with excellent mathematical
aptitude, as demonstrated by involvement in mathematical olympiads,
relevant coursework, or undergraduate research. A preference is given to:

candidates with experience with non-trivial analysis of algorithms
-

candidates with graduate-level course-work in Theoretical Computer
Science
-

candidates with some understanding of optimization.

The position is full time, available from October 1st, 2022, and limited to
3 years, in the first instance. The studentship comes with a monthly salary
adjusted to approximately match the average salary in Prague, the Czech
Republic (which currently stands at approximately EUR 23K p.a. before a
notably low tax), and a travel budget. CTU's offices are in a
centrally-located palace with a view of Prague Castle.

Czech Technical University (CTU) is the oldest non-military technical
university in Europe. In the academic year 2020/21, CTU offered 130 degree
programs in Czech and 84 in English. QS 2021 ranking of Computer Science
programs worldwide has CTU at rank 150. CTU's Artificial Intelligence
Center (AIC) with a staff of 150 is widely recognized as one of the best in
the region. The Czech capital regularly ranks among the top five cities in
Europe to live in (cf. Time Out Magazine index for 2021). For more
