[DMANET] [CFP] Sensing and Data Platforms: what is ahead of us (Special Session 11), IEEE MetroAgriFor Workshop
Dear Researchers/Authors,
You are invited to submit your high-quality research findings to the
Special Session 11: "Sensing and Data Platforms: what is ahead of us" of
the 2024 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for Agriculture and
Forestry (MetroAgriFor).
October 29-31, 2024 - Padua, Italy
Website: https://www.metroagrifor.org/special-session-11
Aims and Scope
The role of sensing, including in-situ, proximity and remote, is increasingly crucial for agriculture and forestry.
Huge investments have been made in this field - consider for instance satellite constellations for remote sensing, the thriving UAV sector, and the dawning sector of terrestrial rovers - and benefits are evident in several application areas.
The other side of the coin is represented by the data platforms used to collect, store, and process the huge amount of data coming from sensing platforms.
Such data platforms should, among others, provide interoperable data through open interfaces (APIs) to different classes of users, but such functionality has not yet reached its full potential.
In Europe, there have been several recent initiatives focused on enhancing data sharing and processing.
One key effort is the European Strategy for Data, which introduces the concept of a Common European Data Space and includes actions to deploy Agriculture and Green Deal sectorial data spaces.
Additionally, the Horizon Europe framework is providing funding for the establishment of European Partnerships that bring together the European Commission with private and/or public partners to address pressing challenges through collaborative research and innovation projects.
One such partnership, the European Partnership for Agriculture of Data, aims to support sustainable agriculture in the EU and improve policy monitoring and implementation by leveraging digital and data technologies for environmental observation.
The goal of this special session is to investigate the potential and the challenges of both sensing and data platforms, looking to future developments, and also considering economic and legal aspects to be carefully taken into consideration.
Contributions are expected to contribute to, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- sensing systems, both local and remote, and recent developments;
- state of the art of data platforms linked to sensing systems, standards, interoperability enablers, and sustainability of their business model;
- GEOSS Data Sharing and Management Principles, FAIR principles, and other interoperable solutions with the potential to further push the use of sensing data;
- economic and legal aspects that can fuel or limit the use of such systems.
Important dates
- Extended Abstract Submission: June 10, 2024
- Extended Abstract Notification: September 1, 2024
- Final Paper Submission: September 20, 2024
Submission Instruction
Authors should prepare an Extended Abstract (4-5 pages) that clearly
indicates the originality of the contribution and the relevance of the
work. The Extended Abstract should include the title of the paper, names
and affiliations of the authors, an abstract, keywords, an introduction
describing the nature of the problem and the state of the art in the field
of interest, a description of the contribution, the results achieved and
their applicability, conclusions, and references.
When the review process has been completed, authors receive a notification
of either acceptance or rejection of the submission. If the paper has been
accepted, the authors can prepare a final paper that incorporates the
reviewers' suggestions.
The format for the final paper is identical to the format for the extended
abstract except for the number of pages: the full paper has a required
minimum length of five (5) pages and a maximum of six (6) pages.

[DMANET] PhD position at the University of Amsterdam
Together with Clélia Mulatier (physics) and Patrick Forré (informatics), I
have an opening for a PhD position at the University of Amsterdam. Could
you please share this with any potential candidates? The underlying
mathematics involves the Tutte polynomial/Potts model and also hypergraphs.
PhD position at the frontier of Statistical Physics, Information Theory and
Mathematics (uva.nl)
<https://vacatures.uva.nl/UvA/job/PhD-position-at-the-frontier-of-Statistical-Physics%2C-Information-Theory-and-Mathematics/790845002/>
More details about the project: The main challenge in developing a general
theory of emergence is to understand how the complex behaviors of many
interacting units can give rise to a simpler macroscopic behaviour while
abstracting away the mechanistic details of the complex interactions. Over
the past century, the research on complex systems has focused on
identifying the microscopic interactions that may lead to such emergent
behavior, and emergence has been mainly studied on a case-by-case
basis. However,
the last decades have seen fast development in experimental techniques that
have enabled recording data from complex systems at both large scales and
high resolutions. This opens up the possibility to understand emergent
phenomena in real systems through the lens of data analysis, instead of
systems modeling.
During your PhD, you will explore a new approach to a theory of emergence,
by studying the structure of information in data from a topological
perspective and tackling the question of how *simpler *information
structures emerge. The project will build upon recent developments in two
different lines of research: on the topological structure of information
and statistical models on one hand, and on the information-theoretic
characterisation of what *simplicity *means on the other hand. We will
study in more detail the case of binary data, for which there exists a
well-understood complete family of statistical models (the physics-inspired
spin models with high-order interactions). To illustrate our approach, we
finally aim to apply it to artificial and real-world datasets.
All the best,

******************************************************************
QCNC 2024 provides a forum for academic researchers and industry
practitioners to present research progresses, exchange new ideas, and
identify future directions in the field of Quantum Communications,
Networking, and Computing.
Scope and Objectives:
In recent decades, quantum researchers have made remarkable progress,
propelling quantum technology into the spotlight for its potential to
revolutionize classical communications, networking, and computing. The
inherent advantages of quantum technology, particularly in terms of
security, privacy, efficiency and scalability, have opened new frontiers in
information technology. Quantum technology has demonstrated its ability to
introduce applications with no equivalent in the classical realm, marking a
breakthrough towards an unimaginable future. The establishment of
connections between the quantum source node and destination node using
quantum hardware and devices facilitates qubit transmissions, which in turn
enables advancements in quantum computing, artificial intelligence and
cryptography and further services and applications. Envisioned as a
transformative force, quantum services are anticipated to span the globe,
leveraging quantum terrestrial components, satellites, airplanes, ships,
and other vehicles. The quantum future holds the promise of nearly
unconditional security, super-computing power, large capacity, even at high

[DMANET] FedCSIS 2024 Data Science Challenge: Predicting Stock Trends
challenge:
https://knowledgepit.ai/fedcsis-2024-challenge/
The topic of this year's competition is the prediction of stock trends.
The dataset contains key financial indicators for 300 companies chosen
from 11 different sectors of the S&P 500 index, from 10 years. Each
company is described by values of 58 indicators that are derived from
its financial statements. The dataset also contains information on
1-year change for each indicator, which can indicate a trend in the
considered values. The task for the competition participants is to
develop a predictive model able to accurately forecast stock trend
movements based on the provided financial fundamental data. Such a model
could have a vital role in algorithmic or manual trading, providing the
trading signals for making decisions about whether it is a good moment
to buy or sell the stock, or maybe not to trade at all. The
competition's sponsor is Mobi Banka (part of the PPF group) – the
first bank in the Western Balkan region where banking is done fully
mobile.
Apart from money prizes provided by the sponsor, winners can count on
free FedCSIS 2024 conference registrations!

[DMANET] Postdoc on the mathematics of supply chain
chain.
A supply chain is modeled as a network whose vertices are firms and whose
edges represent their interactions. The network evolves dynamically, and
may be affected by sudden disruptions. Many of the existing supply-chain
models are static and, when dealing with disruptions, compare pre- and
post-shock equilibria. In real life, the effects of disruption take time to
spread across the network. Understanding this temporal element is
fundamental for taking mitigating actions. The main goal of this project is
to study dynamic models of supply-chain disruption. The formal analysis of
this phenomenon will use tools from network theory, probability theory,
game theory, operations management, optimization, dynamical systems,
machine learning, data science. We are looking for a candidate who has a
strong expertise in at least one of the above fields.
Title of the project:
A dynamic analysis of supply-chain networks and their disruption
Length of the position: 36 months
Gross annual salary: € 36.480,57
Application deadline: 2024/05/03, 14:00 Central European Summer Time (CEST)

Camera ready submission: 17 June 2024
Conference: 9-13 September 2024
SCOPE AND TOPICS
The two flagship conferences of QEST (International Conference on
Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems) and FORMATS (International
Conference on Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems) are
pursuing a strategic process of joining forces and sparking a new joint
conference for quantitative modelling, analysis, and verification. This
year, the two conferences form the QEST+FORMATS joint conference in
2024, which will be held on 9-13 September 2024 in Calgary, Canada, as
part of the CONFEST 2024 umbrella conference.
The joint conference is the leading forum for the quantitative
evaluation and verification of systems, which aims to promote the study
of fundamental and practical aspects of systems with quantitative nature
(such as probability, timing, and cost), and brings together researchers
from different disciplines that share interests in the modelling, design
and analysis of computational systems. Systems of interest include
biological and chemical systems; computer networks; cyber-physical
systems; critical infrastructures; data-driven AI systems; energy
systems; hardware and software systems; industrial systems; and mobility
networks. The QEST+FORMATS joint conference also aims to attract
researchers interested in real-time issues in hardware design,
performance analysis, real-time software, scheduling, semantics and
verification of timed, hybrid and probabilistic systems.
Topics and scientific areas of interest include:
- Models and metrics for the correctness, performance, reliability,
safety, and security of systems (stochastic, probabilistic, and
non-deterministic models including Markov chains, Markov decision
processes, automata, Petri nets, process algebra, max-plus algebra,
and their variations);
- Languages and methods for the specification of quantitative
properties of systems;
- Techniques, algorithms, and data structures for analysis,
evaluation, and verification of the models mentioned above, e.g.,
for model checking, testing, constraint solving, scheduling,
optimization, and worst-case execution time analysis;
- Quantitative and probabilistic aspects of programming;
- Data-driven and machine-learning techniques for the analysis,
prediction, and verification of quantitative properties of systems;
- Case studies that highlight the role of quantitative specification,
modelling, and evaluation in the design and analysis of systems,
with emphasis on emerging problems and technologies;
- Novel software tools to support the practical application of
research results in all of the above areas;
The joint QEST+FORMATS conference is open to theoretical, experimental,
and applicative research and will set up an artifact evaluation process.
Papers may advance the state of the art on empirical approaches,
simulation methods, analysis techniques, and applications to
industrially relevant case studies.
The joint conference will have two tracks associated with QEST and
FORMATS. The authors are required to select one of these tracks when
submitting their papers. This is only used to facilitate the review
process.
This year, QEST+FORMATS will incorporate a special session on:
- Data-driven verification and synthesis of cyber-physical systems. We
encourage the submission of papers on all data-driven approaches
related to the formal analysis, verification, and synthesis of
cyber-physical systems, including learning techniques for
safety-critical systems and safe learning of such systems.
SUBMISSIONS
QEST+FORMATS 2024 considers three types of papers (authors will be able
to specify the type of contribution upon submission):
- Research papers: Theoretical, methodological, and application-based
contributions that advance the understanding on a topic or issue,
describe the development of new analysis processes and techniques,
or apply quantitative methods to relevant case studies.
- Tool papers: New tools and the formalisms they support. focusing on
the software architecture and practical implementation and use. Tool
papers must be accompanied by an artifact in the Artifact
Evaluation.
- Work-in-progress papers: We offer an opportunity to present
preliminary results and receive feedback from the community.
Work-in-progress contributions are not required to be fully
worked-out approaches, for example regarding validation or technical
depth; however the presented ideas should be mature enough to
appreciate soundness and how they advance our knowledge.
Research and tool papers can be regular or short:
- Regular papers must not exceed 14 pages, excluding references.
- Short papers should be limited to 7 pages, also excluding
references.
All papers can have an appendix containing supporting material. Note
that reviewers are not required to read the appendix to fully assess the
merits of the paper. Work-in-progress papers must not exceed 4 pages
including references. All papers must be submitted in Springer's LNCS
format. All submitted papers must be unpublished and not be submitted
for publication elsewhere. Papers should be submitted electronically
using EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qestformats2024
Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers.
Authors should consult Springer's authors' guidelines and use Springer's
LaTeX templates for the preparation of their papers. Submitted papers
not complying with the above guidelines may be rejected without
undergoing review.
The top two best papers of the conference will be selected for the QEST
Award and the FORMATS Oded Maler Award.
PUBLICATIONS
All accepted papers will be presented and discussed at the conference by
one of the authors. The QEST+FORMATS 2024 proceedings will be published
in the Springer LNCS series and indexed by ISI Web of Science, Scopus,
ACM Digital Library, dblp, Google Scholar. All submitted papers will be
evaluated by at least three reviewers on the basis of their originality,
technical quality, scientific or practical contribution to the state of
the art, methodology, clarity, and adequacy of references.
ARTIFACT EVALUATION
Reproducibility of experimental results is crucial to foster an
atmosphere of trustworthy, open, and reusable research. To improve and
reward reproducibility, QEST+FORMATS 2024 includes a dedicated Artifact
Evaluation (AE). Submission of an artifact is mandatory for tool papers
(both regular and short), and optional but encouraged for research
papers where it can support the results presented in the paper.
Artifacts will be reviewed concurrently with the paper review process,
and accepted papers with a successfully evaluated artifact will receive
a badge to be shown on the published paper's title page.
Detailed guidelines for preparation and submission of artifacts will be
available on the conference website. Exceptions to the submission
guidelines may be granted by the PC chairs in cases where the tool
cannot in any reasonable way be run by the AE committee.
SPECIAL ISSUES
A selection of the best papers (excluding work-in-progress papers) will
be invited to submit an extended version of their work to special issues
in the International Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer
(STTT) and the Performance Evaluation (PEVA) journals.

[DMANET] [Deadline approaching] SNTA 2024 The Seventh International Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics
The Seventh International Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (SNTA 2024)
Pisa, Italy, June 3 - 4, 2024 in conjunction with ACM HPDC 2024

The tasks of systems and network telemetry are vital for effective operations and management of HPC and distributed computing systems by offering comprehensive measurement and analysis capabilities to provide 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 provide an intuitive, comprehensive view of the systems and network dynamics. New logging techniques are also needed with the latest developments in 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.

• Wireless, sensor, 5G/6G networks measurement and analysis
• Software/Knowledge-Defined-* technologies
• Advances in network and storage technologies
• Design and evaluation of HPC and distributed systems
• Best practices and implementations tied to systems/network data analysis
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

[DMANET] 2nd CFP for 3rd Workshop on Quantum Optimization @ GECCO 2024
CALL FOR PAPERS
QuantOpt@GECCO-2024
3rd Workshop on Quantum Optimization
Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO'24)
Melbourne, Australia, July 14-18, 2024
Paper Submission Deadline: April 8, 2024
Scope
Quantum computers are rapidly becoming more powerful and increasingly applicable to solve problems in the real world. They have the potential to solve extremely hard computational problems, which are currently intractable by conventional computers. Quantum optimization is an emerging field that focuses on using quantum computing technologies to solve hard optimization problems.
There are two main types of quantum computers: quantum annealers and gate-based quantum computers. Quantum annealers are specially tailored to solve combinatorial optimization problems. They find (near) optimal solutions via quantum annealing, which is similar to traditional simulated annealing, and use quantum tunnelling phenomena to provide a faster mechanism for moving between states and faster processing. On the other hand, gate-based quantum computers are universal and can perform general purpose calculations. These computers can be used to solve combinatorial optimization problems using the quantum approximate optimization algorithm and quantum search algorithms.
Quantum computing has also given rise to quantum-inspired computers and algorithms. Quantum-inspired computers use dedicated hardware technology to emulate/simulate quantum computers. Quantum-inspired optimization algorithms use classical computers to simulate some physical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform quantum computations, in an attempt to retain some of its benefit in conventional hardware when searching for solutions.
To solve optimization problems on a quantum computer, we need to reformulate them in a format suitable for the quantum hardware, in terms of qubits, biases and couplings between qubits. In mathematical terms, this requirement translates to reformulating the optimization problem as a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problem. This is closely related to the renowned Ising model. It constitutes a universal class, since all combinatorial optimization problems can be formulated as QUBOs. In practice, some classes of optimization problems can be naturally mapped to a QUBO, whereas others are much more challenging to map.
Content
The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for both scientific presentations and discussion of issues related to quantum optimization. As the algorithms that quantum computers use for optimization can be regarded as general types of randomized search heuristics, there are potentially great research benefits and synergy to bringing together the communities of quantum computing and randomized search heuristics.
The workshop aims to be as inclusive as possible and welcomes contributions from all areas broadly related to quantum optimization – by researchers from both academia and industry.
Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
· Formulation of optimization problems as QUBOs (including handling of non-binary representations and constraints)
· Fitness landscape analysis of QUBOs
· Novel search algorithms to solve QUBOs
· Experimental comparisons on QUBO benchmarks
· Theoretical analysis of search algorithms for QUBOs
· Speed-up experiments on traditional hardware vs quantum(-inspired) hardware
· Decomposition of optimization problems for quantum hardware
· Application of the quantum approximate optimization algorithm
· Application of Grover's algorithm to solve optimization problems
· Novel quantum-inspired optimization algorithms
· Optimization/discovery of quantum circuits
· Quantum optimization for machine learning problems
· Optical Annealing
· Dealing with noise in quantum computing
· Quantum Gates' optimization, Quantum Coherent Control
All accepted papers of this workshop will be included in the Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO'24) Companion Volume.
