[DMANET] 31st Annual European Symposium on Algorithms — ESA 2023 — Call for Papers

31st Annual European Symposium on Algorithms — ESA 2023 — Call for Papers

Scope

The European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA), one of the premier conferences
on algorithms, is organized in collaboration with the European Association
for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS) and is a part of ALGO 2023, to be
held in beautiful Amsterdam.

Important Dates

Paper submission deadline: 28 April, 23:59 AoE. (EasyChair submission
system)

Notification: 23 June

Camera ready: 30 June

Conference: 4-6 September, 2023, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Call for Papers

The symposium seeks original algorithmic contributions for problems with
relevant theoretical and/or practical applications. Papers with a strong
emphasis on the theoretical analysis of algorithms should be submitted to
Track A, while papers reporting on the results of extensive experimental
evaluations and/or providing original contributions to the engineering of
algorithms for practical applications should be submitted to Track B.
Submissions that prove or explain known results in a much clearer, simpler
or more elegant way than done before should be submitted to Track S. There
will be a Best Student Paper Award as well as a Best Paper Award, both
sponsored by EATCS. In order for a paper to be considered for the Best
Student Paper Award, all of its authors are required to be students.

Paper submission and proceedings

Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission
system. The ESA 2023 proceedings will be published in the Leibniz
International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series.

Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most
12 pages excluding the title page, references, and an optional appendix.
The submission should be typeset using a 10-point or larger font in a
single-column format with ample spacing throughout and 2cm margins all
around on A4-size paper. We recommend, but not strictly require, making
your initial submission adhere to LIPIcs publication guidelines. Proofs
omitted due to space constraints must be placed in an appendix. This
appendix can even comprise an entire full version of the paper. The
appendix will be read by the program committee members at their discretion.
In particular, appendices of accepted papers are not going to be published
in the proceedings. The main part of the submission should therefore
contain a clear technical 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. These guidelines are strict: submissions
deviating significantly from these guidelines risk being rejected without
consideration of their merits. Papers should be submitted electronically
via the EasyChair submission system. Results previously published (or
scheduled for publication) in another conference proceedings or journal
will not be accepted at ESA. Simultaneous submission to other conferences
with published proceedings, journals, or to multiple tracks of ESA 2023, is
also not permitted. By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in
case of acceptance, at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2023,
attend the conference, on-site and present the paper.

Double-Blind Reviewing

The conference will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process.
Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In
particular, authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses should not
appear at the beginning or in the body of the submission. Authors should
ensure that any references to their own related work is in the third person
(e.g., not "We build on our previous work …" but rather "We build on the
work of …"). The purpose of the double-blind reviewing is to help PC
members and external reviewers come to an initial judgement about the paper
without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if
they were to try. 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. In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate their
ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For example,
authors may post drafts of their papers on the web, submit them to arXiv,
and give talks on their research ideas. In case there exist publicly
available versions of the submission online, the authors might mention this
in their submission (without providing references/links), and briefly
explain the differences if any. Alternatively, they might communicate the
details to the chairs, who will keep them confidential unless revealing
them to the PC is needed for a fair judgement. Authors with further
questions on double-blind reviewing are encouraged to contact the PC chairs.

[DMANET] [Scheduling seminar] Hyun-Jung Kim (KAIST) | March 1 | Scheduling with Machine Learning

Dear scheduling researcher,
We are delighted to announce the talk given by Hyun-Jung Kim (KAIST).
The title is "Scheduling with Machine Learning".
The seminar will take place on Zoom on Wednesday, March 1 at 14:00 UTC.

Join Zoom Meeting
https://cesnet.zoom.us/j/95707763175?pwd=aTdmWDN1RG0ySlk0a1dZWUdUdXZJUT09
Meeting ID: 957 0776 3175
Passcode: 047586

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

The abstract follows.
Manufacturing companies have recently shown a growing interest in using
machine learning to improve scheduling problems. In this talk, we will
present three real-life industrial scheduling problems faced by
industries with a specific focus on the application of machine learning.
First, in semiconductor manufacturing, multiple weighted dispatching
rules are used to determine a sequence of jobs. Engineers assign these
weights based on their previous experience. We propose a machine
learning approach to determine the best weight set for all rules,
especially when there is not enough time to derive it. Second, we
propose an integration method of machine learning and mathematical
formulation for scheduling problems in steel manufacturing. This
approach reflects the engineers' preferences and improves the
performance of scheduling at the same time. Finally, we will present a
hybrid flow shop scheduling problem for insulation manufacturing where
machine learning with the NEH algorithm has been applied. We will also
discuss the challenges of implementing machine learning or other
heuristic algorithms in practical settings.

The next talk in our series will be:
Xiangtong Qi (HKUST) | March 15 | Cooperative Games Models for
Scheduling Problems.

icient algorithms to deal with large-scale data in a huge variety of enviro=
nments: computer vision, neurosciences, speech recognition, language proces=
sing, human-computer interaction, drug discovery, health informatics, medic=
al image analysis, recommender systems, advertising, fraud detection, robot=
ics, games, finance, biotechnology, physics experiments, biometrics, commun=
ications, climate sciences, bioinformatics, geographic information systems,=
etc. etc. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share =
their views with the audience.

Most deep learning subareas will be displayed, and main challenges identifi=
ed through 22 four-hour and a half courses and 3 keynote lectures, which wi=
ll tackle the most active and promising topics. The organizers are convince=
d that outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated s=
tudents. Face to face interaction and networking will be main ingredients o=
f the event. It will be also possible to fully participate in vivo remotely=
.

An open session will give participants the opportunity to present their own=
work in progress in 5 minutes. Moreover, there will be two special session=
s with industrial and recruitment profiles.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduate students, postgraduate students and industry practitioners will be=
typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisi=
tes for attendance in terms of academic degrees, so people less or more adv=
anced in their career will be welcome as well. Since there will be a variet=
y of levels, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the c=
ourses. Overall, DeepLearn 2023 Spring is addressed to students, researcher=
s and practitioners who want to keep themselves updated about recent develo=
pments and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen to and=
discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators.

VENUE:

DeepLearn 2023 Spring will take place in Bari, an important economic centre=
on the Adriatic Sea. The venue will be:

Department of Computer Science
University of Bari =E2=80=9CAldo Moro=E2=80=9D
via Edoardo Orabona, 4
70125 Bari

STRUCTURE:

3 courses will run in parallel during the whole event. Participants will be=
able to freely choose the courses they wish to attend as well as to move f=
rom one to another.

Full live online participation will be possible. However, the organizers hi=
ghlight the importance of face to face interaction and networking in this k=
ind of research training event.

[DMANET] [CFP] The Data EConomy (DEC) Workshop 2023

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this mail]
The Data EConomy (DEC) Workshop 2023
in conjunction with SIGMOD 2023
Seattle, June 18, 2023
Website: https://sites.google.com/view/data-economy-2023/

ORGANIZERS AND CHAIRS

* Nikolaos Laoutaris, IMDEA Networks Institute
* Georgia Koutrika, Athena Research Center

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Data-driven decision making powered by Machine Learning (ML) algorithms is changing how the society and the economy work and is having a profound positive impact on our daily life. With the exception of very large companies that have both the data and the skills to develop powerful ML-driven services, the large majority of provably possible ML services, from e-health, to transportation and predictive maintenance, to name just a few, still remain at the idea or prototype level for the simple reason that data, the skills to manipulate them, and the business models to bring them to market, seldom co-exist under the same roof. The value of data comes from its contextualisation and combination with other data. Indeed, this can give way to many new services and products. Furthermore, data has to somehow meet with the ML and business skills that can unleash its full power for the society and economy. This has given rise to a highly dynamic sector around the Data Economy, involving Data Providers/Controllers, data Intermediaries, often-times in the form of Data Marketplaces or Personal Information Management Systems for end-users to control and even monetise their personal data. Despite its huge potential and observed initial growth, the Data Economy is still at its nascent phase and, therefore, faces a yet uncertain future and a series of existential challenges. Such challenges include a broad range of technical matters across multiple disciplines of Computer Science including databases, machine learning, distributed systems, security and privacy, and human computer interaction.

TOPICS

The mission of the Data Economy workshop will be to bring together all the CS skills required for helping the Data Economy liftoff by addressing a range of technical challenges including, but are not limited, to the ones below:

* Design, architecture, systems and protocols for Data Marketplaces, Data Vendors, and Personal Information Management Systems (PIMS)
* Consent management and taxonomy of data processing purposes
* Sending the data to the algorithm vs. sending the algorithm to the data
* Federated and distributed learning in the data economy
* Data management and querying in Data Marketplaces
* Secure data exchange and delivery mechanisms
* Federated data catalogues and data discovery mechanisms
* Heterogeneous and federated DBMS, metadata management
* Information Integration and Data Quality
* Privacy/data protection and the data economy
* Data pricing mechanisms for individual and aggregated data
* How to buy data – data purchase policies and algorithms
* Protecting data ownership rights for commercial datasets
* NFTs, blockchains, smart contracts and their role in the data economy
* Trusted execution, cloud computing, distributed storage and their role in the data economy
* Data representation and exchange standards in the data economy
* Understanding the value of data in different applications and domains and across the data value chain
* Cryptographic approaches, including FHE, SMPC, DP, and their role and limits in the data economy
* UX and HCI challenges for data marketplaces and PIMS
* Understanding and decoding the Terms & Conditions of data marketplaces and data transactions
* Federation and interoperability standards and protocols in the data economy
* Measurement studies related to the data economy
* Large-scale experiments and validation studies for the data economy

SUBMISSION DETAILS
We solicit papers up to 6 pages long, and demonstrations (up to 4 pages long). Submissions will include author names, hence allowing single-anonymous reviewing.
Submission Website: https://acm-data-economy23.hotcrp.com/

IMPORTANT DATES

* Paper Submission: March 10, 2023
* Notification of Acceptance: April 15, 2023

[DMANET] DEON Seminar Series Winter Edition: Hein Duijf – March 03

*DEON Seminar Series Winter Edition: Hein Duijf *

*– March 03*

The Society of Deontic Logic and Normative Systems (DEON) has launched
a seasonal online seminar series designed to promote interdisciplinary
cooperation amongst scholars interested in linking the formal-logical study
of normative concepts, normative language, and normative systems with
computer science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy,
organization theory, and law. We view the seminar series as an opportunity
to keep in touch with the DEON community and listen in or contribute to
presentations and informal discussions on ongoing work. Everyone who is
interested in this wonderful area and its questions is welcome.

We are happy to announce that our speaker for the DEON winter seminar will
be

*Hein Duijf *

*(Utrecht University)*

*Responsibility voids and collective obligations*

*Societal challenges such as the widespread integration of black-box
algorithms and climate change demonstrate that allocating moral
responsibility is often difficult or impossible. In complex collective
decision processes that involve several stages and multiple
decision-makers, it will not always be clear who exactly contributes what
and who can be held morally responsible for the final outcome. In the
literatures on the ethics of technology and on corporate and group agency,
the threat of responsibility voids or gaps is of central importance. A
responsibility void obtains if a morally undesirable outcome or decision
results from the interaction of several individuals even though none of
these individuals can be held responsible for it. In this talk, I will
present recent and new research on responsibility voids and collective
obligations. The basic underlying framework draws on deontic logic and game
and decision theory. The main results indicate that statements about
collective obligations cannot be nomologically reduced to any statement in
a well-established deontic logic of agency that models every combination of
actions, omissions, abilities, and obligations of finitely many individual
agents.*

[DMANET] Workshop on Quantum Systems and Computation: Call for short papers

Hi All,

The Workshop on Quantum Systems and Computation will be held in Orlando, Florida, USA, on June 19, 2023, in conjunction with ACM Sigmetrics 2023 (part of ACM FCRC). The cfp is now active at http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~cslui/quantum_workshop_cfp.html

We solicit papers on the recent advances on quantum computing, algorithms, networks and applications. The workshop aims to provide a high-quality forum for presenting results and discussing ideas that further our knowledge and understanding on quantum computing and algorithms. Of particular interest is work that presents new methods, or that creatively applies advanced methods to realize the promise of quantum computing and communication.

The intention of this workshop is to provide a forum for early research in quantum computing, algorithms and communication networks. The talks tend to be based on very recent research results as well as work in progress that will be otherwise submitted only to a journal or recently have been submitted to a journal.

In addition to the presentation of short papers, the workshop will include time for informal technical discussions among the speakers and attendees.

The accepted workshop papers will appear in the ACM PER (https://www.sigmetrics.org/per.shtml).

** Topics of interest **

* Quantum Computing: quantum programming, quantum development kits (QDKs), quantum languages and circuits, compilers, software stack, libraries and infrastructure; hybrid quantum-classical architectures and computing, quantum simulators, quantum fault-tolerant computing and error correction.

* Quantum Algorithms: Quantum information science, NISQ algorithms, algorithms and complexity, theoretical and empirical algorithm analysis, variational techniques, optimization techniques, quantum search.

* Quantum Communications and Cryptography: Communications theory, quantum networks, quantum internet, quantum communications technologies, quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum security and privacy.

* Quantum Sensing and Metrology: Quantum measures and benchmarks, quantum entanglement and squeezing, gate and measurement errors, connectivity and topology, entanglement-based remote sensing.

* Quantum Hardware Engineering: Quantum computers, qubit design and control, NISQ hardware, superconducting, diamond defect-center, trapped-ion, silicon qubits and technologies, quantum dots.

* Quantum Applications: Application tools, simulations of chemical, biological and physical systems, quantum machine learning, quantum chemistry, materials, quantum AI and decision making, quantum medicine and genomics, quantum finance Quantum Education and Training.

** Important Dates **

* Paper submission: April 29, 2023

* Author notification: May 13, 2023

* Final version submission: May 30, 2023

** Submission Instruction **

The forum encourages the submission of short papers describing early research on quantum computing. Authors are asked to submit 3-page papers, using the standard PER format (http://www.sigmetrics.org/sig-alternate-per.cls). Papers should be submitted electronically, as an e-mail attachment, to cslui@cse.cuhk.edu.hk, with the email subject being : "Submission to Workshop on Quantum at Sigmetrics". Submission needs to be in the PDF format. If there is any question, please contact John C.S. Lui (cslui@cse.cuhk.edu.hk).

Accepted papers will be part of the workshop program. A version of the accepted papers will be available at the workshop. Revised versions of these papers will be published in a special issue of Performance Evaluation Review (PER), or refer to https://dl.acm.org/newsletter/sigmetrics , with a due date after the workshop making it possible for authors to incorporate the results of, or simply mention, any relevant discussions at the workshop. Authors of accepted papers grant ACM permission to publish them in print and digital formats. Note that there are NO COPYRIGHT issues with PER, and thus authors retain the copyright of their work with complete freedom to submit their work elsewhere.

Best Regards,

[DMANET] CG:YRF 2023 - Final Call for papers

Final Call for Papers: Computational Geometry: Young Researchers Forum
(CG:YRF) 2023

The 39th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2023)
is planned to take place in Dallas, USA, June 12–15, 2023. It brings
together the global community of researchers who work on a large variety
of aspects that combine geometry, algorithms and applications. To allow
a broad audience to actively participate in the community's major
scientific event, this year SoCG will again be accompanied by a series
of satellite events, which together constitute "CG Week 2023".

One of these satellite events will be the "Computational Geometry: Young
Researchers Forum" (CG:YRF), which is aimed at current and recent
students. The active involvement by students and recent graduates in
research, discussions, and social events has been longstanding tradition
in the CG community. Participation in a top-level event such as SoCG can
be educating, motivating, and useful for networking, both with other
students and with more senior scientists.

The YRF presents young researchers (defined as not having received a
formal doctorate before January 1, 2021) an opportunity to present their
work (in progress as well as finished results) to the CG community in a
friendly, open setting. Just like in the main event, presentations will
be given in the form of talks. A pre-screening (but no formal review
process) will ensure appropriate quality control.

See the CG:YRF 2023 conference web page
(https://cs.utdallas.edu/SOCG23/yrf.html) for more details, including
important dates, program committee, and submission guidelines. With
further questions, you can also contact the program committee chair
Maike Buchin (Ruhr University Bochum).

[DMANET] Special Issue on Industrial IoT networks to support future Cloud-to-Things applications – Ad Hoc Networks, Elsevier –

Please consider to submit your paper:

Special Issue on Industrial IoT networks to support future Cloud-to-Things applications

– Ad Hoc Networks, Elsevier –

The Cloud-to-Things (C2T) continuum is a novel paradigm that extends the cloud-computing centralized architecture by introducing intermediate computing layers to host industrial applications and services with stringent requirements in terms of latency and reliability in the communication with IoT devices and sensors.

Recent network architectures that support the integration of IoT devices into existing networks, like 6TiSCH or 5G/6G, include by design support for strict Quality of Service (QoS) communication requirements to ensure timed and reliable data delivery between applications and IoT devices.

The deployment and management of the C2T multi-tier computing infrastructure connected with industrial IoT via heterogeneous communication technologies on a large-scale will require innovative approaches to guarantee QoS application requirements by enabling the convergence between computing and networking. Current networking management approaches are not adequate to support this convergence, thus leading to research open issues in multiple areas, including, for instance, IoT networks performance optimization, efficient resource management, scalable device management, novel compute-network joint management strategies, etc.

In this special issue, we look for original and high-quality research works in these areas to enable the convergence between networking and computing in the C2T continuum for industrial applications. The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to:

*Network resource allocation and management in Industrial IoT networks
*Integration between cloud-edge infrastructure and 5G/6G networks for the Industrial IoT
*Network continuity to support efficient offloading to optimize network performance
*Network strict-QoS for Industrial applications in the C2T continuum
*Joint network configuration and workload distribution in the C2T continuum
*Security issues and solutions for industrial systems in the C2T continuum
*Ad-Hoc Networks for industrial applications to support mobility
*Vehicular networks for cooperative autonomous vehicles
*Self-organizing networks in the C2T continuum
*Scalable management solutions in the C2T continuum
*Novel network paradigms to support the C2T continuum with QoS guarantees
