[DMANET] OR65 Annual Conference "Sustainable Development Goals" Stream

Dear Colleagues

Apologies for any cross-posting that may occur.

I am currently organising the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals stream session
as part of The OR Society Annual Conference #OR65, which will be at
the University of Bath (UK) this year, September 12 - 14, 2023.

The Annual Conference
<https://www.theorsociety.com/events/annual-conference/> is The OR
Society flagship
event and is known to be a great opportunity to network with both academic
and practitioners actively working in operational research and the broader
analytics realm.

The #SustainableDevelopmentGoals stream welcomes a variety of #OR
applications to any of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
OR tools (e.g., optimization or simulation modelling, stakeholder
involvement) are paramount in offering a structured approach to tackle the
objectives and, in particular, the challenges arising in real-life
applications of such kind.

The call for papers and posters is now open and ends on *May 30, 2023*. If
you are interested, please submit a title and abstract here
<https://theorsociety.eventsair.com/PresentationPortal/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2FPresentationPortal%2For65-annual-conference%2For65abstractportal>.
When
you are requested to choose a theme for your abstract, please select the
option "Sustainable Development Goals" from the drop-down menu. Info on
conference rates and fees are here

* General Information *
ACM MobiCom provides basic support for the workshops and tutorials in the
form of
registration, publication, publicity, meeting space, audio/video equipment,
lunch, and
coffee breaks. To promote flexibility, the details including the format of
the workshop/tutorial
and the form of submissions and presentations are typically left to the
organizers of each
workshop/tutorial. Because workshops are meant to foster discussions on
emerging topics
of interest among the broader SIGMOBILE community, workshops are encouraged
to be
inclusive rather than exclusive in their solicitation of material. In
addition, we encourage
organizers to target more interactive forums such as presentations of short
papers, posters
and demos, panels, and round-table discussions, rather than traditional
presentations of full-
length papers. Workshops/tutorials not attracting enough submissions and
registrations may
be cancelled at the decision of the organizing committee.

We look forward to your submissions. Please feel free to contact us with
any questions
about submitting a workshop/tutorial proposal.

[DMANET] [CFP] Deadline Extended (April 10, 2023 is approaching) - Wi-DroIT 2023 Workshop

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message]

Dear Researchers/Authors,
You are invited to submit your high-quality research findings to 5th
International Workshop on Wireless Sensors and Drones in Internet of Things
(Wi-DroIT) 2023.

June 19-21, 2023 - Coral Bay, Pafos, Cyprus
Wi-DroIT co-located with DCOSS 2023

Website: https://widroit2023.github.io/
Submission link: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=widroit2023

*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.
Additionally, one or more UAVs can collaborate to provide services that
require efficient protocols where multiple objectives and constraints need
to be considered.

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

*Important dates*
- Paper Submission: *April 10, 2023 AoE*
- Acceptance Notification: April 30, 2023
- Camera Ready: May 7, 2023

Thank you for your consideration.

We are glad to offer authors the possibility to publish selected papers in
the MDPI Computers journal, special issue on Vehicular Networking and
Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2023 (
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/computers/special_issues/9H446VIG57). The
papers will be published in Open Access form with APC waived.

Scope:
======

Over the years, we have witnessed the merging of wireless communications
and transportation technologies. This excellent combination of two
important fields has propelled our capabilities even further, allowing us
to communicate anytime and anywhere, thereby improving the traffic safety,
reducing the travel costs, and increasing our life quality tremendously.
Once the new Intelligent Transportation Systems are deployed, our roads and
highways will be able to provide enhanced services to users through the
combination of V2X and cellular communications, thus completely
revolutionizing when and how we communicate, commute, and navigate, in the
coming future.
In addition, all types of autonomous vehicles, including aerial,
terrestrial and maritime drones, can also support ITS systems and processes
to achieve unprecedented performance, safety and services.
Under such conditions, several issues remain open in the field on vehicular
networking, including message dissemination in congested environments,
Quality of Service (QoS), efficient and adaptive routing, MAC layer
enhancements, mobility prediction, efficient handovers, and also in
Intelligent Transportation Systems, such as efficient road traffic
managing, optimal emergency services operation, integration with autonomous
vehicles, etc.
This workshop is soliciting original technical papers addressing the main
research challenges in the vehicular networking and the intelligent
transportation systems area.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scope:

- Wireless vehicular networking (aerial, terrestrial and maritime vehicles)
- Congestion and admission control in dense vehicular networks
- Content distribution in wireless vehicular environments
- Smartphone/vehicle integration
- Edge solutions for ITS
- Cooperative sensing of road conditions
- Network and system architectures for mobile vehicular computing
- DSRC/WAVE communications. DSRC alternatives and supporting technologies
- 5G/6G technologies for vehicular environments. - Network protocols and
algorithms, including clustering, routing, etc.
- Integration with aerial, terrestrial and maritime autonomous vehicles.
- UAV support for ground vehicle communications and services.
- Statistical analysis, prediction and management of vehicular mobility
- Multimedia communications in vehicular scenarios
- Models, simulators and tools for vehicular environments
- Communications for safety of vulnerable road users
- Communications for automated driving
- Security and trust issues in vehicular environments

[DMANET] Mike Fellows Fest June 12-15 Bergen Norway

On June 12-15, we are organizing a symposium in Bergen, Norway: FPT Fest in Honour of Mike Fellows.

The symposium will happen in Hotel Terminus, Bergen.

Mike Fellows (together with Rod Downey) is one of the principal founders of parameterized complexity, a two-dimensional framework for complexity analysis and algorithm design based on two fundamentally different kinds of timecosts: polynomial timecosts as a function of the overall input size (as in the central concept of P in the one-dimensional classical framework for computational complexity) together with a second dimension of timecosts associated to a vector of relevant secondary measurements, such as input structure, degree of approximation or
amount of quantization, algorithmic operational aspects, etc., to confine the explosions.

Besides his work in mathematics, algorithms and complexity theory, Mike is noted for his seminal contributions to the popular communication of the mathematical sciences and related efforts in Computer Science curriculum reform at all age levels, including the much-translated "Computer Science Unplugged" (with New Zealand coauthors Tim Bell and Ian Witten), which has had a substantial world-wide impact.

For these two contributions, Mike received Australia's highest civilian honor, Order of Australia, Companion to the Queen (AC), an honor descended from and essentially equivalent to a UK Knighthood. He is also only the second Norwegian to be listed on New Zealand's remarkable "Hobbit List" (technically: HonFRSNZ), the first being G.O. Sars, one of the world's first Oceanographers, who notably wrote a book about the freshwater crustaceans of New Zealand, thus joining north and south in the early days of Science.

The symposium will consist of a number of invited talks, mini-symposia, and one full day (Wednesday) devoted to Mike and his contributions to computer science.

https://www.uib.no/en/rg/algo/160260/fpt-fest-2023-honour-mike-fellows

The mini-symposia will deal with the following topics. Behind each topic, we list the name of the corresponding mini-symposium organizer.

Exact algorithms (Jesper Nederlof)
FPT in ML (Robert Ganian)
Flow augmentation & cuts (Magnus Wahlström)
Graph isomorphism (Daniel Neuen)
Kernelization and beyond (Bart M. P. Jansen)
Logic metatheorems (Sebastian Siebertz)

[DMANET] 7th International Conference on Internet Science (INSCI 2023): Fifth Call for Papers

*** Fifth Call for Papers ***

7th International Conference on Internet Science (INSCI 2023)

September 13-15, 2023, 5* St. Raphael Resort, Limassol, Cyprus

https://cyprusconferences.org/insci2023/

Submissions due: May 1, 2023 (AoE)

(Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS; Best Paper Award
sponsored by Springer with 300 EUR)

"Internet for Survival": How the effective and democratic evolution of the
Internet towards an infrastructure/ecosystem supporting resilience and
equality depends on deeply intertwined considerations rooted in technological,
social and economic sciences.  

INSCI is a multidisciplinary conference that brings together scholars and practitioners
at the intersection of technological, social and economic sciences seeking to learn
how the Internet can be used to make our world a better place. Its insights are
expected to create a better understanding of this complex socio-technical system we
call "Internet", for instance to inform political decisions on the technological priorities
for public funding and to drive a more sustainable and equitable development of the
innovation and social ecosystems it supports.

INSCI welcomes fundamental and applied multidisciplinary research, including policy-
oriented studies and works offering technological solutions, that investigate the role
of Internet for sustainable development, social and economic resilience, collective
intelligence, reliable information processing and protection, and, more generally, for
a holistic understanding of societal transformations, governance shifts and innovation
quests. 

INSCI welcomes works done in interdisciplinary teams that may include computer
scientists, sociologists, policy makers, economists, designers and artists, or complex
system scholars, among others, preferably uniting expertise from social, economic
and technical sciences. This kind of work is expected to close the gap between
societal / economic impact and requirements and technological developments, seen
as both drivers and consequences of each other.

Submissions:

DSML welcomes both research papers reporting results from mature work, and more speculative papers describing new ideas with preliminary exploratory work. Papers reporting industry experiences, case studies, and datasets will also be encouraged. This year, we are also soliciting proposals for research talks based on work previously published elsewhere (reference to previous work is required). We strongly encourage these research talks to also include new ideas and provocative opinions and not just summarize previous work that is already published. Specifically, we accept submissions in the following formats:

- Regular research papers (up to 6 pages + 3 pages for references and supplementary material)

- Proposals for research talks (1 page + 3 pages for references and supplementary material)

All submissions should be in PDF format and must adhere to the IEEE Computer Society 8.5x11 two-column camera-ready format (using a 10-point font on 12-point single-spaced leading). Both LaTeX and MS Word templates are available here: https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

We will use a double-blind review process only for the regular research papers, so the authors must anonymize their submissions. The first page must include the title of the paper, but no information on authors names and affiliations. Research talks need not be anonymous.

Submission site: https://dsml23.hotcrp.com/

Proceedings:

Authors of regular papers can select either of the following options for the publication of their accepted papers:

(1) Paper will appear in the supplementary DSN proceedings (archived in the IEEE Digital library), with the same page limit constraints as specified above,

(2) Only an extended abstract (up to 2 pages + 3 pages for references and supplementary material) of the paper will be included in the supplementary DSN proceedings, but the authors are required to post a full version of the paper on arxiv that will be linked from the workshop website.

[DMANET] M1 or M2 Internship on Scheduling at Ecole Polytechnique

Dear all,

The computer science laboratory of Ecole Polytechnique (LIX) offers in
collaboration with the company Konatus (co-located on the campus of IP
Paris) an M1 or M2 internship on a resource-constrained scheduling
problem. The internship has an empirical focus with a theoretical
foundation. Hence, interest in both areas is very welcome.

The scheduling problem at hand is concerned with the automated
management of development processes in companies. In such processes,
different projects are split into smaller parts (such as work elements
or tasks), which need to be assigned to different teams. Each team has
various skills and capacities, and each task has a priority, a start and
an end date, a cost, and other factors. The aim is to assign the
different parts of each project to the teams such that all constraints
are satisfied and that the overall time spent on the projects is minimized.

Due to various constraints as well as the diverse nature of projects and
set-up of teams, this problem is challenging. To this end, heuristic
solvers are employed, which provide a great compromise between finding
good solutions and reducing the run time of the solver. At the moment,
Konatus uses an evolutionary algorithm as such a heuristic solver. This
algorithm acts as the baseline for the internship. The goal of the
internship is to come up with an improved heuristic solver for the
scheduling problem. This new algorithm can be tested on different data
sets provided by Konatus (both artificial and from the real world).

The internship is going to be financed by Konatus, and Max Stellmacher
(max.stellmacher@konatus.io) from Konatus acts as domain experts during
the internship. From LIX, Martin Krejca
(martin.krejca@polytechnique.edu) acts as the scientific advisor of this
project. Initially, the student should study the theoretical aspects of
this problem and determine to what end it can be decomposed or optimal
sub-problems can be solved. Based on such insights, the next step is to
implement a solver that computes good schedules, which ideally
outperform the baseline (in terms of solution quality and run time).

This internship has the potential to be continued as a CIFRE thesis.

If you are interested or have further questions, please contact Martin
(martin.krejca@polytechnique.edu).

Best regards,

Martin

[DMANET] [DEADLINE APPROACHING] ACM SNTA’23 - The Sixth Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics

DEADLINE APPROACHING

Call for Papers

The Sixth Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (ACM
SNTA'23)
in conjunction with ACM HPDC 2023 (http://www.hpdc.org/2023/)
Orlando, Florida, United States, June 16 - 23, 2023

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 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 artificial intelligence 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 an intuitive,
comprehensive view of the systems and network 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
- Data-driven, multivariate, streaming-based data processing
- Distributed and federated machine learning
- Cybersecurity, forensics, privacy, and anonymization
- Smart instruments, edge/fog-systems, and IoTs
- Wireless, sensor, 5G/6G networks measurement and analysis
- Software/knowledge-defined-* technologies
- Advances in network and storage technologies
- Intelligent workflow, visualization, and applications
- Performance modeling, analysis, and engineering
- Design and evaluation of HPC and distributed systems
- Best practices and implementations tied to systems/network data analysis

Important dates:

Submission deadline: March 31, 2023
Author notification: April 14, 2023
Camera-ready deadline: May 2, 2023

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
workshop proceedings as part of the ACM digital library.

Scientific Supervisor: Prof. Massimo Cafaro

Research topic: Large scale data management and integration

This is a 30 months "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.
