[DMANET] [Reminder, Tomorrow] DEON Seminar Series Spring Edition: Cleo Condoravdi – June 02

*DEON Seminar Series Spring Edition: Cleo Condoravdi *

*– June 02*

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 spring seminar will
be

*Cleo Condoravdi *

*(Stanford University)*

*Title: Imperatives and the Indirectness of Linguistic Meaning*

*Abstract: Imperatives in natural language are used not only to command or
prohibit, but also to request, plead, offer, permit, and even to merely
express a wish, to give advice on how-to, or to concede. What is common
across all these uses? I will propose that imperatives create commitments
to preferences. None of the perceived interpretations of imperatives
reflect their meaning directly. They all arise from inferences about why
the speaker would incur the commitment. This view explains the
communicative equivalence of imperatives with necessity modals in some
uses, and with possibility modals in others, despite their different
underlying semantics. Moreover, it explains an interesting asymmetry
between goal-oriented modals and imperatives: while modals can be used to
give advice on why a certain goal should be rescinded given the facts of
the matter, imperatives cannot.*

this year, all the accepted papers are expected to be presented
on-site by some of the authors.

INVITED SPEAKERS
========================
‪Edith Elkind (University of Oxford, UK)
Seok-Hee Hong (University of Sydney, Australia)

IMPORTANT DATES
========================
Submission deadline: June 30, 2023 (Anywhere on Earth)
Notification of acceptance: September 4, 2023
Camera-ready version deadline: September 30, 2023

TOPICS
========================
The symposium is intended to provide a forum for researchers working
on algorithms and computation. The scope covers theoretical analysis,
experimental validation, and practical applications. The topics
include, but are not limited to:

Algorithmic game theory
Algorithms and data structures
Approximation algorithms
Combinatorial optimization
Computational biology
Computational complexity
Computational geometry
Cryptography
Experimental algorithms

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
========================
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at
most 12 pages with an optional appendix. The submission should contain
a scholarly exposition of ideas, techniques, and results, including
motivation and a clear comparison with related work. They must not be
submitted simultaneously to another conference with refereed
proceedings or to a journal. Drafts which contain essentially the same
results as papers under review in other conferences or journals cannot
be submitted to ISAAC 2023. Exempted are workshops and conferences
without formal proceedings, but possibly with handouts containing
short abstracts. At least one author of an accepted paper is required
to present the paper at the conference as a registered participant.

Submitted papers must be formatted in LaTeX, using the LIPIcs style
file, which is available at
https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/.
The maximum length of the paper (including title, the list of authors,
abstract) is 12 pages, with references and the optional appendix
excluded. Use the LIPIcs style file as given; for instance, do not
change the margin size or the font, or make a separate title page, or
create new latex environments.

Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in an appendix
that is to be read by the program committee members at their
discretion and will not be published as part of the proceedings. Thus
the paper without the appendix should be able to stand on its own.

Submissions are due on June 30, 2023 (Anywhere on the Earth). Only
electronic submission via the easychair submission server
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isaac2023 will be allowed.

These guidelines are strict: papers failing to adhere to the
guidelines (by not providing the omitted proofs in an appendix, being
more than 12 pages, or not being in LIPIcs format) will be rejected
without consideration of their merits.

AVAILABILITY OF FULL VERSIONS
========================
Upon acceptance, if there is an omitted detail in the camera-ready
version for ISAAC, authors are encouraged to upload a full version of
the accepted paper to a preprint server so that interested readers can
access the full proofs that are omitted in ISAAC proceedings. When
authors refer to omitted proofs in ISAAC proceedings, citation to the
accessible full version is desired. However, uploading a full version
is not mandatory for authors.

AWARDS
========================
The Best Paper and the Best Student Paper will be awarded. A paper is
eligible for the Best Student Paper if all authors are full-time
students at the time of submission. To indicate that a submission is
eligible, please mark the checkbox "Eligible for best student paper"
in the web form on the submission server.

JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUES

[DMANET] CALL FOR PAPERS -- WFIOT 23 -- Future Platforms for Cloud-Edge Continuum – Theoretical Foundations and Practical Considerations

Call for Papers

Future Platforms for Cloud-Edge Continuum – Theoretical Foundations
and Practical Considerations
https://wfiot2023.iot.ieee.org/future-platforms-cloud-edge-continuum-%E2%80%93-theoretical-foundations-and-practical-considerations

Special Session (SPES-01) organized within the scope of

9th IEEE World Forum on Internet of Things (IEEE WFIoT2023)
Aveiro, Portugal, October, 12-27, 2023https://wfiot2023.iot.ieee.org/

Internet of Things (IoT) brings fundamental changes to all sectors of
society and economy. However, realization of the IoT vision requires
data processing (stream, static, or both) in an "optimal location"
within the cloud-edge continuum. Within such continuum, data can be
produced, stored, and processed "anywhere". For instance, (1)
far/nano-edge devices produce data act upon it locally, (2) fog nodes
process data stream locally, while (3) cloud/HPC facilities deliver
"unlimited" processing capabilities, need, for instance, to train
(large) AI models. Taking into account the, systematically increasing,
scale of IoT deployments the question arises: what capabilities must
be facilitated by future IoT platforms, which will have to manage
processes in multi-stakeholder, multi-cloud, federated, large-scale
IoT ecosystems.

Here, key challenges are related to the fact that such platforms
(encompassing operating systems, up to applications), will have to
jointly leverage continuous progress of multiple enabling
technologies, e.g.: 5G/6G networking, privacy and security,
distributed computing, artificial intelligence, trust management,
autonomous computing, distributed/smart applications, data management,
etc. Moreover, they must facilitate intelligent (autonomous)
orchestration of physical/virtual resources and tasks, by realizing
them at the "optimal location" within the ecosystem (e.g., closer to
where data is produced). To achieve this, resource-aware frugal AI is
needed, to facilitate self-awareness and decision support, across
heterogeneous ecosystem. Finally, it is also absolutely necessary that
resource management will consider the CO2 footprint of the ecosystem
and efficiently deploy data and tasks and also use multi-owner,
heterogeneous sources of renewable energy.

In this context, contributions addressing theoretical and practical
aspects of the following topics are invited (this list is, obviously,
not exhaustive):

* IoT architectures for domain agnostic user-aware, self-aware,
(semi-)autonomous edge-cloud continuum platforms, including proposals
for novel decentralized topologies, ad-hoc resource federation,
time-triggered behaviors

* Foundations for next generation of higher-level (meta) operating
systems facilitating efficient use of computing capacity across
edge-cloud continuum

* Resource aware AI, including frugal AI, bringing intelligence to the
edge-cloud continuum platforms (and ecosystems)

* Cognitive frameworks leveraging AI-techniques to improve
optimization of infrastructure usage and services and resources
orchestration

* Efficient streaming Big Data processing within large-scale IoT ecosystems

* Interoperability solutions for multi-user edge-cloud continuum
platforms, capable of coping with systematically increasing complexity
of connecting vast numbers of heterogeneous devices

* Federated data spaces approach for improved data governance,
sovereignty and sharing

* Privacy, security, trust and data governance in competitive scenarios

* CO2 footprint reduction and efficient use of green energy in
edge-cloud continuum ecosystems

* Practical aspects of resource orchestration within highly
heterogeneous, large-scale edge-cloud continuum ecosystems

* Intent-based networking and its application to IoT

* Swarm intelligence for IoT-edge-cloud continuum

Important Dates:

* Paper submission: July 6, 2023
* Acceptance Notification: July 31, 2023
* Camera-Ready Paper Submission Deadline: August 20, 2023

Paper preparation and submission:

Paper should be six (6) pages in length and follow the instruction
provided for the main Conference. The conference allows up to two
additional pages for a maximum length of eight (8) pages with payment
of extra page charges once the paper has been accepted.

[DMANET] [Deadline Extended] IEEE ICT-DM 2023, Cosenza, Italy - Sept. 13-15, 2023

[Our apologies for multiple copies of this email]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The 8th International Conference on Information and Communication

Track 4: Crowdsourcing and social media for disaster & crisis management
https://ict-dm2023.inria.fr/tracks/four.html

Scope: Natural disasters like flooding and earthquakes, as well as
terrorism attacks and industrial disasters, should be dealt with in a fast
and effective manner. In such scenarios, first responders, news agencies
and the victims are used to exploit social media as a first "communication
channel" to disseminate situational information in a reliable way, reaching
a huge pool of users. Similarly, crowdsourcing applications engage user
communities in emergency response and disaster management for natural
hazards. However, some drawbacks may occur in such social tools, thus
limiting authorities and disaster management stakeholders to use social
media data to make decisions. As an instance, social media crowdsourcing
data should be georeferenced to improve situational awareness, and the
positioning error should be very low. In addition, social media data should
be merged with other external data sources and authoritative data to
establish geographic relationships between the disaster event and social
media messages. Also, the dissemination of a message should occur between
trusted and reliable nodes, in order to be sure the disseminated
information is secure. As a solution, the main goal is to handle a set of
learning materials such as methods, tools and guidelines on the use of
social media and crowdsourcing in disasters in an effective manner,
especially for what concerns security and trustworthiness of data
information.

So, this track wants to stimulate the scientific community to propose new
technical studies that may address different topics such as:

- Secure and reliable communications in social media and crowdsourcing
for disaster & crisis management
- Opportunistic data dissemination in social media and crowdsourcing
tools
- Network architectures for social media and crowdsourcing
- Machine learning techniques in social media and crowdsourcing for
disaster & crisis management
- Energy harvesting, storage, recycling, and wireless power transfer for
social IoTs in disaster and crisis
- Fog/edge computing and social IoT convergent services, systems,
infrastructure, and techniques for disaster and crisis management
- Agile, intelligent, and resilient aerial (swarm) social-inspired
communications and control in disaster crisis
- Localization and positioning with social IoT in disaster/crisis areas
- Social-aware self-organizing network optimization for efficient
crowdsourcing in mobile social networks
- Security, privacy, and trust in social IoT-assisted disaster/crisis
management systems
- Disaster/crisis data aggregation, dissemination, collection, and
mining via crowdsourcing and social media in multi-hop heterogeneous
networks
- Crowdsourcing, gamification, and social media incentivization for
natural hazard prevention, mitigation, and management
- Real-time query processing, data fusion, and event summarization for
multi-source disaster data and social media
- Big data analysis, AI and machine/deep learning models with Age of
Information (AoI) in crowdsourcing and social media analysis
- Innovative crowdsourcing applications and social network services for
disaster and crisis management

[DMANET] / Postdoctoral Position in Quantum Combinatorial Optimization /

JUNIA is a French graduate school of science and engineering focused on
ecological, digital and technological transitions, where students (about
5,000) and faculty confront the grand challenges of today and tomorrow.
JUNIA has over 120 faculty researchers, engineers, and technicians—as well
as nearly 100 PhD students and post-doctorate researchers—on 17 research
teams across our campuses. Several of the research teams contribute to
mixed research unit with the French National Center for Scientific Research
(CNRS) like IEMN (UMR8520).

As part of the Catholic University of Lille, JUNIA is also at the right
place to collaborate with laboratories of the University, especially the
ETHICS laboratory. ETHICS (EA 7446) is an accredited and multidisciplinary
research unit whose scientific object is defined by the ELSI (Ethical,
Legal and Social Implications) as well as philosophical questions and
aspects raised by the anthropological, technological, and socio-economic
mutations of the contemporary world.

*Subject Area*

The broad area of research is Discrete Optimization with quantum computers.

*Project description*

In this postdoc, the candidate will have to solve problems adapted to
quantum machines. The successful candidate will work under the supervision
of Samuel Deleplanque from the IEMN laboratory, Lille, France.

Today, many quantum machines are accessible for mathematicians and
informaticians since many machines or algorithms are taking Quadratic
Unconstrained Binary Optimization models (QUBO) as input. This is the case
for analog adiabatic D-Wave machines (e.g., Advantage, D-Wave 2000Q),
analog Pasqal machines and algorithms such as Quantum Approximate
Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) for gated based universal quantum computers
(e.g., IBM Osprey QPU). The focus will be on D-Wave machines.

The candidate will first consider general Combinatorial Optimization
problems (e.g., Max-Cut, Min-k-Cut, Max Clique, Minimum Vertex Coloring,
Maximum Independent Set and other types of problems, such as the NP-Hard
3Sat). For solving these problems on quantum machines, set of instances,
theoretical results such as problems reductions (e.g., 3SAT ≤p MIS) and
limits of machines (from the topology: the qubits graph and especially its
degree, e.g., Zephyr, Chimera, and Pegasus on D-Wave machines) have to be
taken into- account to propose the best way to solve the problem. The
selection of the problems to be solved will be made according to their
level of adaptation to quantum machines.

Second, the candidate will have to focus on a more applicable problem
related to logistics (vehicle scheduling (e.g., TSP, CVRP, etc.)) or
related to production and project scheduling (Lot-Sizing, RCPSP, Job-Shop
Scheduling, etc.). Her/his preference will be considered.

Third, a hybrid solution will have to be studied on the problem considered
earlier in a way to propose a quantum resolution where there is a
computational performance problem with classical computers. A heuristic
scheme based on a classical computer which will alternate native resolution
and quantum computer calls for solving a subproblem. Moreover, some aspects
of the postdoc can be proposed by the candidate. For example, optimization
problems linked to artificial intelligence, biology, or chemical research.

Finally, if time permits, the postdoc will study Hamiltonians simulation
(Hadfield (2018)[1]) to be used through discretized adiabatic algorithms
implemented for a gated based universal quantum computer. The goal is to
compare performance with analog machines and to study the potential large
scope of such methods.

*Original additional mission*

The candidate will collaborate with the "Ethics, Technology & Humanities"
(ETH+) team of the ETHICS laboratory, in the reflection on societal and
ethical issues raised by recent developments in quantum computing in
general. In this respect, the candidate is not expected to have a specific
competence in humanities and social sciences, but to be open and willing to
reflect with colleagues from other disciplines on the societal, ethical,
and philosophical issues raised by the rise of artificial intelligence and
quantum computing as emerging technologies. To this end, the candidate will
contribute with researchers from his or her JUNIA laboratory and
researchers from ETH+ (ETHICS), to the organization of a multidisciplinary
symposium on the scientific, societal, and ethical issues of quantum
computing. He or she will also participate with the ETH+ team in the
preparation and holding of two workshops bringing together scientists and
citizens on the theme of artificial intelligence, including quantum
computing. This project is part of a participatory science approach
supported by international research (nhnai.org) in progress.

*Requirements and eligibility criteria*

- The expected candidate must have strong Mathematical Programming skills
(MILP, especially with binary models) with a preference for quadratic
modeling (see Glover (2019)[2], Lucas (2014)[3]) and with experience in
constraint relaxation.

- Quantum algorithm knowledge is not requisite but valuable.

- Since the input of these machines generally propose an API implementable
with Python code, some abilities in this language are also expected. Some
C++ and/or RUST programming skills are a plus for a potential hybrid
quantum-classical computer solution.

- Curiosity in quantum technologies and generally in IT is very welcome.

- No specific competence in humanities and social sciences is expected, but
intellectual openness to interdisciplinary dialogue, curiosity, and
willingness to reflect on the societal aspects of quantum computing is
required.

*Working conditions / Hard facts*

Start of contract: September 1st, 2023

Type of contract: Fixed -term contract under public law – Social security
coverage

Duration of the contract: 24 months – Full time

Salary: depending on experience

[DMANET] [CFP] First IEEE International Conference on Meta Computing (ICMC) 2023

First IEEE International Conference on Meta Computing (ICMC)

October 12-15, 2023 Qingdao China

Over the past 60 years, computing paradigms have undergone significant
developments, evolving from the original Client-Server model to newer ones
such as Cloud Computing, IoT (Internet of Things), and Edge Computing. The
development history of computing paradigms is also the development history
of computing power, which is defined to be the amount of information that
can be transmitted, processed, and stored by a system, as novel computing
technologies have always been driven by the needs of new applications that
demand stronger computing power. Nowadays, emerging applications such as
Web 3.0, Metaverse, and Industrial Internet put forward demands on
next-generation computing technologies that can consolidate the networking
resources to provide the desired quality of services, overcoming the
increasingly serious computing power shortage problem.

Meta Computing was proposed to address the limitations faced by existing
computing paradigms: 1) terminal-end IoT resources are not fully exploited;
2) there exist barriers to the integration of network-wide computing power;
and 3) there is a lack of strong fault tolerance. It aims to utilize all
available computing resources hooked on the Internet, provide efficient,
fault-tolerant, and personalized services with strong security and privacy
guarantee, and virtualize the whole Internet as a giant computer, that is,
``Network-as-a-Computer, NaaC'', or ``Meta Computer'' for short, for any
task or any person at any time on-demand. Meta computing possesses the
following three functional characteristics: supporting zero-trust
environments, integrating all available cloud-edge-terminal computing
resources, and configuring meta computers on-demand. To the emerging
applications such as Web 3.0 and Metaverse , meta computing intends to
turn the Internet into a distributed giant computing power pool to fulfill
the ever-increasing needs on computing power; it also refers to the
integrated technologies that can offer trust-worthy, fault-tolerant, and
easy-to-use computing techniques.

[DMANET] PhD Position in Monitoring and Safety Verification at TU Delft

PhD Position in Monitoring and Safety Verification for the Dutch Railways.

Challenge: Real-time monitoring of deployed plans and human-in-the-loop adaptation to disruptions.
Change: Synergy between formal methods and machine learning.
Impact: Robust deployment of automated systems in the real world.

The main difference between offline planning and online deployment of automated solutions in modern applications is that the real world can exhibit changes not accounted for in a simulated environment. In practice, we need to identify when the system may not be doing what we expect and adapt to it quickly. The challenge of this project is to support experts in formally monitoring automated systems and promptly adapting to the real-world disruptions.

You will be part of the Algorithmics Group in the Department of Software Technology of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science. As a PhD researcher, you will reinforce and extend the group's expertise in the interdisciplinary field combining formal methods and machine learning. You will work in a dynamic and diverse environment of other PhD and postdoc researchers excited about making theoretical and algorithmic contributions in intelligent decision making. In addition, you will collaborate with experts at the Dutch Railways and ProRail and four PhD students addressing other aspects of railway automation.

Apply until June 30, 2023: PhD Position in Monitoring and Safety Verification for the Dutch Railways<https://www.tudelft.nl/over-tu-delft/werken-bij-tu-delft/vacatures/details?jobId=12530&jobTitle=PhD%20Position%20in%20Monitoring%20and%20Safety%20Verification%20for%20the%20Dutch%20Railways>.
