[DMANET] BAT 2022 CFP: The 4th International Workshop on Blockchain Applications and Theory, Paris, France 12-15 Dec 2022

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation]

The 4th International Workshop on Blockchain Applications and Theory (BAT
2022) <http://emergingtechnet.org/BAT2022/index.php>

in conjunction with

The 9th International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS-2022)
<http://emergingtechnet.org/SDS2022/>

Paris, France 12-15 Dec 2022

*BAT 2022 CFP*

A blockchain is a distributed ledger for recording transactions and/or data
in a meaningful order, maintained by many connected nodes without a trusted
central authority. Blockchain has a great potential to create new
foundations for most distributed systems by efficiently establishing trust
among nodes, especially in emerging networks. Such a fundamental technology
to enable decentralization play an important role in a wide spectrum of
topics such as Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), edge
computing, cloud computing, fog, mobile computing, social networking,
wireless communication, vehicular network, and even more other fields. At
the same time, there is a lack of fundamental study on the limitation of
blockchain such as scalability, security, privacy, efficiency, availability
and dependability. Hence, the development and deployment of
blockchain-based systems and applications will likely exhibit new
requirements and complicated challenges, which brings more open issues and
exciting directions for research communities.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners
working in cloud computing, distributed systems, cryptography, security,
and networking, from academia and industry, who are interested in the
applications and theory of blockchains and related protocols.

* Blockchain and Financial Networks

* Blockchain in vehicular network

* Blockchain in the Internet of things (IoT)

* Blockchain in Cyber Physical Systems (CPS)

* Blockchain in social networking

* Blockchain in supply chain management

* Blockchain in connected and autonomous vehicles

* Blockchain in mobile cellular networks

* Blockchain and governance/policy/regulation

* Game theory and blockchain

* Real-world blockchain-based system analysis and optimization

* Experience papers with blockchain

* Security, privacy and trust of blockchain

[DMANET] FMEC 2022 CFP: The Seventh International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing , Paris, France. December 12-15, 2022

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation]

The Seventh International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC
2022)

emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2022/index.php

Paris, France. December 12-15, 2022

Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE France Section

*FMEC 2022 CFP:*

Cloud computing provides a large range of services and virtually unlimited
available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality
and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of
resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the
delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially
when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human's life
such as the case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud
computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location
awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have
introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile
Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer
to users, which facilitates the leveraging of available services and
resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud
data centers) to the edge of the network closer to the users. FMEC
dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of
Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time
applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected
mobile devices.

Several features enable the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a
perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense
geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness
to users. As in every new technology, some challenges face the vision of
the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative
policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure
computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location
privacy, etc). FMEC 2022 conference aims to investigate the opportunities
and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance. In addition, it seeks
for novel contributions that help mitigating Mobile Edge Computing
challenges. That is, the objective of FMEC 2022 is to provide a forum for
scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas,
novel results and experience on all aspects of Fog and Mobile Edge
Computing (FMEC). FMEC 2022 is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE France

[DMANET] Postdoc positions at Linköping University, Sweden

The Department of Computer and Information Science at Linköping University
is one of the largest computer science departments in northern Europe.
We are currently looking to appoint postdoctoral fellows. The positions
are for two years (with the possibility of extension up to a total maximum
of three years) and the application deadline is November 7, 2022.
We welcome applications from highly motivated, talented individuals who
want to join our vibrant academic community, conducting research in
various areas of computer science.

In particular, the Theoretical Computer Science Laboratory (TCSLAB)
is looking for postdocs with a strong background in theoretical
computer science and mathematics who want to perform research within
algorithms and complexity theory. Examples of current research
project include the following.

* Fine-grained complexity. Classical complexity theory aims at separating
easy and hard problem by putting them into complexity
classes---polynomial-time solvable problems versus NP-hard problems
is a common delineation. Fine-grained complexity aims to refine this
distinction into a quantitative understanding of the exact time required to
solve problems, i.e. providing upper bounds (i.e. invent faster algorithms)
and lower bounds (i.e. proving the impossibility of algorithms with given
time bounds under reasonable complexity theoretical assumptions). TCSLAB
mainly study the fine-grained complexity of (1) infinite-domain constraint
satisfaction problems (CSP) with immediate AI applications and (2)
finite-domain CSPs and SAT problems defined via algebraic invariants.

* Algebraic methods for CSPs. The algebraic approach is a highly
influential method for analyzing the computational complexity of CSPs,
based on the idea of describing relations via algebraic properties. It is
the main method behind the recent proof of the CSP conjecture: every
finite-domain CSP is either polynomial-time solvable or NP-complete.
This method is mainly useful for studying classical complexity of
computational problems and it has proven difficult to use it for analyzing
fine-grained complexity. We study ways of generalizing it by, for instance,
utilizing partial polymorphisms. Our work include both methods for
constructing algorithms and for proving lower bounds

* Parameterised complexity. Parameterized complexity is a measure of problem
complexity with one or more input parameters besides input size. This theory
is motivated, for example, by the observation that there exists relevant
problems that require exponential runtime when the complexity is measured
in terms of the input size only, but that are computable in f(k)*poly(n) time
where f is some function, n is input size and k is some problem-specific
parameter. Such problems can often be considered tractable despite their
traditional classification as intractable. This theory provides a systematic
framework for a refined analysis of complex computational problems, and it
is one of the main tools for efficiently solving problems that exhibit
"hidden structure". TCSLAB currently focus on the parameterized complexity of
various CSPs, including problems derived from mathematical computation
such as equation solving.

* Randomized and approximation algorithms. It is well-known that algorithms that guarantee to
compute an exact answer within a given time bound may be much slower than
algorithms that works under slightly relaxed conditions. Examples include
randomized algorithms where the time bound may be inexact and
approximation algorithms where the answer may be inexact. TCSLAB research has
focused on optimisation problems that appear in automated planning,
multi-agent systems, and CSPs. In particular, we are interested in
connections between inexact methods and parameterised complexity.

For questions concerning research at TCSLAB, please contact
professor Peter Jonsson (peter.jonsson@liu.se). For more general questions,
contact the Head of Department Henrik Eriksson (henrik.eriksson@liu.se).

[DMANET] SDS 2022 CFP: The Ninth International Conference on Software Defined Systems , Paris, France. December 12-15, 2022

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation]

The Ninth International Conference on Software Defined Systems (SDS-2022)

https://emergingtechnet.org/SDS2022/index.php

Paris, France. December 12-15, 2022

Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE France Section

*SDS 2022 CFP:*

Next generation cloud systems will require a paradigm shift in how they are
constructed and managed. Conventional control and management platforms are
facing considerable challenges regarding flexibility, dependability and
security that next generation systems will require. The cloud computing
paradigm has gone part of the way towards alleviating some of the problems
associated with resource allocation, utilization and management (e.g., via
elasticity). However, many of the elements of a well-designed cloud
environment remain "stiff" and hard to modify and adapt in an integrated
fashion. This includes underlying networking topologies, many aspects of
the user control over IaaS, PaaS or SaaS layers when such is needed,
construction of XaaS services, provenance and meta-data collection, and so
on. In many situations the problem may be because service abstraction is
inadequate. Software Defined Systems (SDS) are systems that have added
software components which help abstract actual IT equipment and other
layers. One classical example, of course, are hypervisors. Such separation
provides a great opportunity for system administrators to more easily
construct and managing their systems through flexible software layers.

Software Defined Systems include Software Defined Networking (SDN),
Software Defined Storage, Software Defined Servers (Virtualization),
Software Defined Datacenters (SDD), Software Defined Security (SDSec), and
ultimately Software Defined Clouds (SDCloud) to name a few possibilities.
Individual solutions and seamless integration of these abstractions remains
in many respects a challenge. After the high success of the previous
editions (SDS'2014, SDS'2015, SDS'2016, SDS'2017, SDS'2018, SDS' 2019, SDS'
2020 and SDS' 2021), The Ninth International conference on Software Defined
Systems (SDS'2022) will continue to be a forum for scientists,
researchers, students, and practitioners to present their latest research
results, ideas, and developments in the area of software defined systems –
both components and their integration - and by implication advancement of
next generation clouds.

SDS 2022 aims to investigate the opportunities and in all aspects of
Software Defined Systems. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions
that help mitigating SDS challenges. That is, the objective of SDS 2022 is
to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss
and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of
Software Defined Systems. SDS is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Spain
Section. Researchers are encouraged to submit original research
contributions in all major areas, which include, but not limited to:

* Software Defined Systems support for Cloud Computing .
* Software Defined Networking (SDN).
* SDN concepts, architecture, and APIs.
* Network Virtualization

[DMANET] Deadline extended: Nov. 7, 2022 | Open Topic Professorships at University of Salzburg, Austria

At the Paris Lodron University Salzburg (PLUS), three professorships are
to be filled within the framework of the "Excellence in Digital Sciences
and Interdisciplinary Technologies" Initiative (EXDIGIT). The call for
applications does not have a narrow thematic focus, but is looking for
personalities - especially outstanding young talents - who have achieved
internationally renowned research results in one of the disciplines
represented at the newly founded Faculty of Digital and Analytical Sciences:
* Artificial Intelligence and Human Interfaces
* Computer Science
* Geoinformatics
* Mathematics

It is essential to convincingly build a bridge between at least two of
these disciplines or to another established subject at PLUS. The
research activities should complement the existing working groups at
PLUS, especially in the context of digital sciences, and set accents in
applied research or application-oriented basic research.

The appointment is limited to 5 years. An interim evaluation is planned,
in which the position holder should also present a concept of how the
research topics and positions developed within the framework of EXDIGIT
can be sustainably anchored at PLUS beyond the duration of the project.

CONFERENCE TOPICS

The CiE conferences serve as an interdisciplinary forum for research in
all aspects of computability, foundations of computer science, logic,
and theoretical computer science, as well as the interplay of these
areas with practical issues in computer science and with other
disciplines such as biology, mathematics, philosophy, or physics.

PAPER SUBMISSION

THE PROGRAM COMMITTEE cordially invites all researchers, European and
non-European, to submit their papers in all areas related to the above
for presentation at the conference and inclusion in the proceedings of
CiE 2023 at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cie2023

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS

Papers submitted to the conference proceedings should represent original
work, not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference with
formal proceedings.
The Program Committee will rigorously review and select submitted
papers. Accepted papers will be published as a proceedings volume in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series from Springer-Verlag.

Papers to be considered in the conferences proceedings must be submitted
in PDF format, using the LNCS style (available at
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines)
and must have a maximum of 12 pages, including references but excluding
a possible appendix in which one can include proofs and other additional
material. Papers building bridges between different parts of the
research community are particularly welcome.

INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS

Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, we invite researchers
to present informal presentations of their recent work. A proposal for
an informal presentation must be submitted via EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cie2023), using the LNCS style
file (available at
