[DMANET] [CFP] 5th workshop on Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS’25)

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Fifth Workshop on
Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS'25)
<https://sites.google.com/view/hccs25/home>, which will be co-located with
the 23rd IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and
Communications (PerCom'25) <https://www.percom.org/>in Washington DC, USA,
from March 17-21, 2025.

The fifth edition of the Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS'25)
workshop aims to advance and promote research on how unobtrusive
observations of human cognitive, behavioral, physiological, and contextual
data are increasingly enabling innovative computing experiences. The
workshop will also foster discussions about the societal implications of
computational sensing. Traditionally, sensors have been understood narrowly
as devices that capture physiological measurements, often through
wearables. This workshop adopts a broader, human-centric perspective,
envisioning sensing as time-evolving measurable data directly linked to
individuals and their communities. With this approach, sensing encompasses
human reactions and interactions observed through spoken, written, or
signed language, eye gaze, facial and bodily expressions, social networks,
geospatial patterns, and other forms of human-generated data. Advances in
multimodal human data acquisition and fusion have the potential to
significantly impact all areas of human life, including productivity,
health and well-being, training and education, human-computer interaction,
accessibility, safety and security, as well as gaming, sports, and
entertainment.

Relevant topics include but are not limited to:

- Context-Aware Sensing for Adaptive Learning Environments
- Emotion Recognition through Physiological and Behavioral Signals
- Personalized Well-being Applications using Continuous Sensing
- Smart Workplaces through Behavioral Sensing
- Human Activity Recognition in Unstructured Environments
- Emotion-Adaptive Interfaces for Human-Computer Interaction
- Geospatial Behavior Analysis for Urban Planning
- Fusion of multifaceted, heterogeneous, and/or incommensurable human
sensing data
- Localization and proximity-detection systems
- AI-empowered mobile sensing systems
- Generative AI for synthetic sensor data generation and evaluation
- User acceptance, quality of experience, and social impact studies
- Accessibility of human sensing technologies
- New interventions acting on human-centered computational sensing
- Experimental analysis with human sensing data from real-world
applications
- Human-centered sensing for healthcare, industry, social goods and all
possible application domains
- Experiences and lessons learned from research projects focused on
human-centered computational sensing
- Privacy and ethical considerations for human-centered computational
sensing, including gender equality.

*Organizers will consider the possibility of inviting authors of selected
papers accepted to HCCS'25 to submit an extended work to a Special Issue of
an international journal.*

*Submission and Registration*:
Authors are invited to submit technical or theoretical papers for
presentation at the workshop, describing original, previously unpublished
work, which is not currently under review by another workshop, conference,

[DMANET] Postdoctoral researcher opportunity at Institut Polytechnique de Paris

Dear all,

Télécom SudParis, Institut Polytechnique de Paris, is seeking for a 12 month postdoctorate researcher to work in the area of intrusion detection in Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS).

--- The deadline for applications is November 25 2024 ---

Best wishes,
Badis HAMMI


===============================================================
A privacy aware intrusion detection system for V2X

Supervisors: Maryline LAURENT, and Badis HAMMI (Telecom SudParis)


Context and Motivation

In Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS), the continuous exchange of large data volumes is critical for the effectiveness of applications, making the security of these messages essential. For instance, to protect the privacy of road users, vehicles are required to frequently change their pseudonyms, along with other network identifiers such as IP addresses, MAC addresses, and so on. This dynamic nature of identifier changes introduces significant challenges for performing efficient intrusion detection, as tracking and identifying malicious behavior becomes more complex.

In this context, there is a growing need for an advanced Intrusion Detection System (IDS) tailored for C-ITS environments. This IDS must ensure a balance between meeting the strict privacy requirements set by standards and enhancing the detection and prevention of intrusions and cyber threats.

Required Profile

The postdoctoral researcher is expected to have a strong background and expertise in machine learning, with proven experience in developing and applying advanced algorithms. Additional skills in cybersecurity and networking are highly valued, as they will be crucial for addressing the complex challenges in the project. The ideal candidate should also demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a capacity for independent research

[DMANET] Call for Thematic Sessions - 20th Conference on Computer Science and Intelligence Systems

Call for Thematic Sessions

20th Conference on Computer Science and Intelligence Systems

FedCSIS 2025; www.fedcsis.org

Kraków, Poland, 14-17 September 2025

The 20th Conference on Computer Science and Intelligence Systems (FedCSIS
2025) cordially invites you to organize a Thematic Session. The FedCSIS
conferences consist of the Main Track, which recognizes five Topical Areas:

+ Advanced Methods of Artificial Intelligence
+ Computer Science and Data Processing
+ Networked Intelligence Systems and Security
+ Information Technology for Business and Society
+ Intelligent Software and Service Engineering

The role of Thematic Sessions is to enrich and deepen coverage of the five
Topical Areas discerned within the Main Track. Many of Thematic Sessions
are recurring yearly events, but we also solicit and welcome proposals for
new one, until November 26, 2024. The Thematic Sessions can run over any
span of time within the conference dates; from half-day to three days
(depending on the number of collected submissions).

FedCSIS is a large rigorous scientific conference staged across Europe.
Annually, it attracts ~300 submissions from ~40 countries from around the
world. Papers are accepted in three categories: regular (full and short),
position, and communication. All regular, presented, papers are submitted
to IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Moreover, many Technical Sessions offer
post-publication opportunities (journals, Springer volumes, etc.) after
appropriate extensions and changes. Position and communication papers are
published in separate volumes of the Annals of Computer Science and
Information Systems book series. All papers are published with ISBN, ISSN
and DOI numbers, and submitted to, and indexed in, the most influential
indexing services. Since 2012, the FedCSIS Proceedings are indexed in
SCOPUS and Web of Science.

Any newly proposed Thematic Session will be evaluated on the basis of
scientific/technical interest and/or its relevance to practitioners in its
topics, the clarity of the proposal in addressing the requested
information, the innovativeness of the topics, level of correspondence and
"value-added" to the FedCSIS Main Track. It is important to stress that the
newly proposed Thematic Sessions should be "thematically orthogonal" to the
ones offered in the past (in 2024, in particular). Moreover, it is expected
that the organizers of the Thematic Sessions will represent at least three
different countries.

Call for Papers for the Thematic Sessions will be announced by: (1) by
FedCSIS Chairs in generic Calls for Conference Papers, to reach out to the
computer science and intelligence systems researchers at large; and (2) by
Thematic Session Organizers in Call for Thematic Session Contributions, to
reach out to the professional communities involved in research addressed by
the Thematic Session. All papers (for the Main Track and Thematic Sessions)
will have to be submitted to the FedCSIS Conference System (EasyChair).

Thematic Session proposals should include the following information (3
pages maximum):
1. The title and acronym of the proposed Thematic Session, and the list of
topics.

2. A brief explanation of why the proposed Thematic Session will fit into
the FedCSIS aims and program, including its relation to the selected
Topical Areas of the Main Track.
3. The contact information of the Thematic Session Organizers, including
their affiliations, links to their personal websites (Google Scholar
profile, in particular), and an overview of previous experiences with
organization of scientific events.
4. Preliminary list of Reviewers who have agreed (or are likely to agree)
to join. Thematic Session Reviewers will become members of the Program
Committee of FedCSIS 2025.
5. Indication of the expected number of papers/attendees.
6. Information about planned post-publications of extended and revised
papers in high-quality journals, edited volumes, etc.

Thematic Session Organizers should email their proposals (in a single pdf
file) by November 26, 2024 to the FedCSIS Secretariat at:
secretariat@fedcsis.org

More information concerning FedCSIS and its scientific and organization
rules can be found at: https://www.fedcsis.org

[DMANET] Doctoral researcher position on Scalable Automated Reasoning (Karlsruhe, Germany)

Dear all,

I would like to advertise an open position for a research assistant
(a.k.a. doctoral researcher, PhD student), to begin as soon as possible,
at the young investigator group /Scalable Automated Reasoning/ (SAtRes,
https://satres.kikit.kit.edu) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT,
Germany).

Our aim is to study and advance essential tools at the core of automated
reasoning with a particular focus on parallel and distributed
algorithms. In our prior research, we have designed the most scalable
distributed SAT solver to date, achieving appealing speedups at
thousands of parallel cores distributed over more than 100 machines.
Continuing and expanding on this fruitful line of research, we intend
the doctoral research to focus on one of the following fields (to be
determined together with the candidate):

- Increase the scalability of parallel and distributed SAT solving
systems by fostering cooperation across solver threads and reducing the
redundant work they perform.

- Investigate how to leverage the power of modern distributed SAT
solving and task scheduling methods for the central verification
technique of Bounded Model Checking (BMC).

- Explore how to transfer distributed SAT solving technology to
Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT).

A degree qualifying for doctoral studies in computer science (M.Sc.
Computer Science or similar) with good grades is required. Prior
specialization in formal methods, algorithms, and/or parallel and
distributed computing is expected. Good programming skills, in
particular with C++, are highly recommended or should be acquired
rapidly. The candidate will be supervised by Dr. Dominik Schreiber and
co-supervised by Prof. Peter Sanders (Algorithm Engineering group @
KIT). We anticipate high-profile collaborations both with KIT colleagues
as well as with external researchers.

The position is full-time and compensated competitively (tariff TVÖD E13).

The full advertisement with further details can be found at:
https://s.kit.edu/satres-phd

Informal applications / statements of interest / questions should be
directed to Dominik Schreiber (dominik.schreiber@kit.edu).

Please feel free to share this advertisement with anybody you know who
might be interested. Thank you!

Best regards,

Dominik

[DMANET] IPCO 2025: Final Call for Papers

IPCO 2025 - The 26th Conference on Integer Programming and Combinatorial
Optimization
John Hopkins University, Baltimore, June 11-13, 2025
https://ipco25.cs.jhu.edu/

Important Dates

Submission deadline: November 4, 2024, 23:59 (AoE)
Notification: January 22, 2025
Final versions for proceedings: March 25, 2025
Conference: June 11-13, 2025

Scope

The IPCO conference is a forum for researchers and practitioners working
on various aspects of integer programming and combinatorial
optimization. The aim is to present recent developments in theory,
computation, and applications. The scope of IPCO is viewed in a broad
sense, to include algorithmic and structural results in integer
programming and combinatorial optimization as well as revealing
computational studies and novel applications of discrete optimization to
practical problems.

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of their recent work by
November 4, 2024; see the submission guidelines below for more
information. The Program Committee will select the papers to be
presented on the basis of the submitted extended abstracts.

Contributions are expected to be original, unpublished and not under
review by journals or conferences with proceedings before the
notification date (January 22, 2024). Papers violating these
requirements will not be considered by the Program Committee.

During the conference, approximately 33 papers will be presented in
single-track sessions. Each lecture will be 30 minutes long and given by
one of the authors in person (on-site). The proceedings will be
published as a volume of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
They will contain extended abstracts (at most 14 pages) of all accepted
submissions. It is expected that revised and extended versions will
subsequently be submitted for publication in appropriate journals, for
example in the special issue of Mathematical Programming B that will be
devoted to IPCO 2025.

Best Paper Award

IPCO will present a Best Paper Award, to be chosen by the Program Committee.

Submission Guidelines and Instructions for Authors

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract for a double-blind
reviewing process.
Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX using the Springer LNCS style and
can have a maximum length of 12 pages, plus references and an optional
appendix. Please check the Springer Information for LNCS Authors for
additional information. An appendix containing additional technical
material and full proofs can be added for consideration by the program
committee and will not be published in the proceedings. Proofs omitted
due to space constraints must be placed in an appendix to enable the
main mathematical claims of the submission to be fully verified.

The first page should contain the title and a short abstract. The
introduction should be a broadly accessible exposition of the main ideas
and techniques used to achieve the results, including motivation and a
clear comparison with related work. In particular, the introduction
should convey to the non-expert why the paper should be accepted to
IPCO. Submitted extended abstracts will be reviewed according to the
standards of top tier reviewed conferences. The main acceptance criteria
used by the Program Committee are the quality and originality of the
research, plus its interest to people working in the field. It is
crucial that the importance of the work is understood by the committee.
The claimed results must be correct and new.

A paper will not be considered in any of the following cases:
– It has already been published.
– It is under review by a journal or another conference with proceedings.
– It has a member of the Program Committee among its authors.
– It is submitted after the submission deadline.
It is not allowed to submit a paper that has been submitted to IPCO 2025
to a journal or a conference with proceedings before the notification date.

IPCO 2025 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, and authors
should refer to their own work in the third person. The purpose of this
double-blind process is to help reviewers make unbiased initial
judgments about the paper, and not to make it impossible for them to
discover who the authors are. Authors should not weaken their submission
or make reviewing more difficult for the sake of anonymity; in
particular, important references should not be omitted or anonymized.
Authors are encouraged to share their ideas or draft versions of their
paper as usual, such as posting drafts online, submitting to
repositories, and giving talks.

The submission server can be accessed here:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ipco2025

Papers failing to adhere to the guidelines (e.g., by not providing the
omitted proofs in an appendix, exceeding the page limit, not being in
LNCS format, or not following the double-blind rules) risk to be
rejected without consideration of their merits.

[DMANET] Autumn issue of the EATCS Bulletin

Dear DMANET community,

the new Bulletin is available at:
https://eatcs.org/images/bulletin/beatcs144.pdf

The Distributed Computing Column, edited by Seth Gilbert, features Robin
Vacus, winner of the 2024 Principles of Distributed Computing Doctoral
Dissertation Award. His thesis on "Algorithmic Perspectives to Collective
Natural Phenomena" explores how distributed computing techniques can help
understand biological processes found in the real world. It examines a
variety of different phenomena.

I am also very happy to welcome a new editor, Stefan Neumann from TU Wien,
Austria, who will be in charge of a new column, "TCS on the Web". In his
first column, Stefan Neumann leads a conversation with Clement Canonne, one
of the most important theoretical computer science influencers.

The Interview Column features Bruce Maggs who shares with us what
influenced him in his career, and provides perspectives and advice how our
community can evolve.

In the Viewpoint Column, our former president Luca Aceto reflects on the
role of an invited speaker at a conference.

The Computational Complexity Column, edited by Michal Koucky, features an
article by Till Tantau who explores and discusses seven ways of deciding
whether most vertex sets cover a graph.

In the Logic in Computer Science Column, Yuri Gurevich discusses
intelligence, measuring intelligence, and related issues, inspired by the
article "On the measure of intelligence" by François Chollet.

I am also very happy to welcome another new editor, Thomas Zeume from the
Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany. He will replace Juraj Hromkovic as editor
of the Education Column, and will be responsible for it together with
Dennis Komm. On this occasion, I would like to thank Juraj Hromkovic very
much for all his contributions to the Bulletin over all these years. The
Education Column in this issue will present an algorithms design strategy
called "constructive induction" that enables high school students to solve
a large variety of algorithmic problems.

Enjoy the new Bulletin and I wish you a wonderful remainder of the year!

Stefan Schmid

The workshop will be virtual as was the case for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Editions.

The topic of the workshop is metabolism in general. As in the previous cases, a special
- but not exclusive! - focus will be placed on parasitology. Besides an exploration of the
biological, biochemical and biomedical aspects of metabolism, the workshop will also aim
at presenting some of the mathematical modelling, algorithmic theory and software
development that have become crucial to explore such aspects.

More details will be provided soon but initial information may be already found on
this page:
https://team.inria.fr/erable/en/events/workshop-metabolism-and-mathematical-models-two-for-a-tango-4th-edition/

Jürgen Zanghellini, University of Vienna, Austria

Besides the talks given by the above Keynote speakers, there will be two sessions,
one per day, of 30 minutes each, dedicated to a discussion of some specific open
questions. More details on these will be provided very soon.

The workshop will take place in the afternoons, from 2pm to 5:30pm CET time.

Registration is free but is required. To register, go to this link:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1BdqEmM59Hyh9URf463PNWkPminxIkK7fljJ_EXk_SA8.

[DMANET] Two PhD positions in optimization and robotics at UCSB ECE

Dear all,

I am seeking two highly motivated PhD students to join my newly established
research group in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
(ECE) at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). The research
will focus on developing novel optimization algorithms for robot motion
planning and control. For an example of this research direction, you can
view my PhD thesis here:
https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/156598

Candidates with a background in optimization and/or robotics are strongly
encouraged to apply. The admission process is handled by the ECE
department, and the deadline for applications is December 15, 2024.
Additional information can be found here:
https://www.ece.ucsb.edu/grad/apply

Santa Barbara is a unique place to conduct research and live. UCSB is a
world-leading institution in the fields of control and dynamical systems,
and is now investing heavily in robotics. The campus is located in a
beautiful part of California, right on the beach with stunning mountains in
the background, and only an hour away from Los Angeles.

If you are interested in applying or would like more information about
these positions, please feel free to send me an email at marcucci@ucsb.edu.

Best regards,
Tobia Marcucci
