[DMANET] Call for Participation: NeurIPS Workshop on GPUs and Optimization

Hello everyone,

We are organizing a workshop at NeurIPS on optimization algorithms and GPU
acceleration. We are accepting contributions! Details below.

Best regards,
Tobia Marcucci

############

*TLDR: Contribute to a NeurIPS workshop on the use of GPUs and Learning for
Optimization.*
Website: https://www.cvxgrp.org/scaleopt/
Important Dates:
* Submissions Opens: July 25, 2025
* Submission Deadline: August 22, 2025
Organizers: Parth Nobel, Fangzhao Zhang, Maximilian Schaller, Alexandre
Amice, Tobia Marcucci, Tetiana Parshakova, Stephen Boyd

*Overview*
Recent advancements in GPU-based large-scale optimization have been
remarkable. Recognizing the revolution in optimizing neural network weights
via large-scale GPU-accelerated algorithms, the optimization community has
been interested in developing general purpose GPU-accelerated optimizers
for various families of classic optimization problems, including linear
programming, general conic optimization, combinatorial optimization, and
more specific problem families such as flow optimization and optimal
transport. This workshop welcomes submissions explaining how to deploy GPUs
for optimization; relevant works could span theoretical work—designing
novel highly-parallel optimization algorithms suitable for modern GPU
implementation—to impressive engineering work—designing specialized
implementations with custom CUDA kernels to accelerate the numerical
computations.

Beyond deploying GPUs directly at classical problems, current frontier AI
tools—including large language models (LLMs)—are being deployed to solve
optimization problems. Specifically, researchers have used LLMs to solve
linear programs and in combinatorial optimization. Various works have used
neural networks to solve mixed integer problems, linear or quadratic
programs, general combinatorial optimization problems, and more specific
optimization problems such as LASSO and robust PCA. This workshop welcomes
works related to Learning to Optimize (L2O)—using neural networks to learn
to solve classic optimization problems—and other forms of modern techniques
being deployed to solve classic optimization problems.

In this workshop, we aim to provide a platform for interested researchers
to engage with each other on recent breakthroughs and current bottlenecks
in designing large-scale GPU-based optimizers and synergizing AI systems
with solving optimization problems.


*Keywords*We welcome submissions in, but not limited to, the following
areas:
Parallel algorithms
Learning to optimize
Optimization software package development
Accelerated optimization methods
Advancements in GPU-based optimization
Large-scale distributed optimization

=======================================================

https://csf2026.ieee-security.org/

Call for Papers - Summer Cycle (Deadline July 24, 2025, AoE)

The Computer Security Foundations Symposium (CSF) is an annual
conference for researchers in computer security. CSF seeks papers on
foundational aspects of computer security, such as formal security
models, relationships between security properties and defenses,
principled techniques and tools for design and rigorous analysis of
security mechanisms, as well as their application to practice. While CSF
welcomes submissions beyond the topics listed below, the main focus of
CSF is foundational security and privacy. Papers lacking foundational
aspects risk desk rejection without further evaluation of their merits;
contact the PC chairs when in doubt.

CSF was created in 1988 as a workshop of the IEEE Computer Society's
Technical Committee on Security and Privacy, in response to a 1986 essay
by Don Good entitled "The Foundations of Computer Security—We Need
Some." The meeting became a "symposium" in 2007, along with a policy for
open, increased attendance. Over the past two decades, many seminal
papers and techniques have been presented first at CSF. For more details
on the history of the symposium, visit CSF's home.

Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and
will be available at the symposium. Some small number of papers will be
selected by the Program Committee as "Distinguished Papers".

Nominations are requested for the Prize for Innovation in Distributed Computing, awarded by the Colloquium on Structural Information and Communication Complexity (SIROCCO).

This prize was established to recognize individuals whose research contributions expanded the collective investigative horizon in SIROCCO's area of interest. That is, they formulated new problems, or identified new research areas, that were at the time of their introduction, unorthodox and outside the mainstream, but later attracted the interest of the SIROCCO community. This community is interested in the relationships between information and efficiency in decentralized computing. The prize recognizes originality, innovation, and creativity – the qualities that reflect the spirit of the SIROCCO conference.

The winner of the Prize for Innovation in Distributed Computing 2026 is expected to give an invited talk at SIROCCO 2026, scheduled to take place on June 9-11 in Durham, UK.

Past prize winners are Nicola Santoro, Jean-Claude Bermond, David Peleg, Roger Wattenhofer, Andrzej Pelc, Pierre Fraigniaud, Michel Raynal, Masafumi Yamashita, Shmuel Zaks, Zvi Lotker, Paola Flocchini, Amos Korman, Friedhelm Meyer auf der Heide, Christian Scheideler, Boaz Patt-Shamir, Shay Kutten, and Sergio Rajsbaum.

The prize may not necessarily be awarded every year.

---

https://sss2025.conf.lip6.fr<https://sss2025.conf.lip6.fr/>
SSS is an international forum for researchers and practitioners in the design and development of distributed systems with a focus on systems that are able to provide guarantees on their structure, performance, and/or security in the face of an adverse operational environment. The symposium encourages submissions of original contributions on both fundamental research and practical applications concerning topics in the symposium tracks:
Track A. Stabilization and Locality in Distributed Computing (Track Chair: Peter Robinson, Augusta University, USA)

* Stabilizing Systems
* Proof labelling schemes
* Graph Algorithms
* Graph-theoretic concepts for communication networks
* Social and Peer-to-Peer Networks
* LOCAL/CONGEST models
* Communication complexity
* Game-theory and economical aspects of distributed computing
* Dynamic networks, time-varying graphs, evolving graphs

* Mobile agents
* Autonomous mobile robots
* Mobile sensor networks
* Mobile ad-hoc networks
* Population protocols
* Nature-inspired computing
* Programmable particles, nanoscale robots, biological systems, and related new models

[New Conference Model]
We experiment with a new conference model. There will be THREE non-overlapping deadlines, and thus three submission rounds. Papers that are rejected at an early round (1 or 2) may be reworked, corrected, enhanced, and resubmitted at a later round (2 or 3), if wished by the authors. Of course, accepted papers at an early round are definitely accepted and should not be submitted again at a later round. In case of resubmission, reviews from the previously submitted round will be transmitted to the reviewers of the resubmission round.
[Paper Submission]
Papers are to be submitted electronically through EasyChair:
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sss2024> https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sss2025
All submissions must conform to the formatting instructions of Springer LNCS series (see
<https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines> https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
Each submission must be an original work written in English, in PDF format.
[Double-blind Review]
All submissions must be anonymous. We use a somewhat relaxed implementation of double-blind peer review: you are free to disseminate your work through arXiv and other online repositories and give presentations on your work as usual. However, please make sure you do not mention your own name or affiliation in the submission, and please do not include obvious references in the text that reveal your identity. A reviewer who has not previously seen the paper should be able to read it without accidentally learning the identities of the authors. Please feel free to ask the general co-chairs if you have any questions about the double-blind policy of SSS 2025.
[Submissions]
There are two types of submissions: regular papers and brief announcements.

* A regular submission must not exceed 15 pages (including the title, abstract, figures, and excluding references). Additional necessary details for an expert to verify the main claims of the submission may be included in a clearly marked appendix if extra space is needed.
* A brief announcement submission must not exceed 5 pages including everything.

Any submission deviating from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of its merits. It is recommended that a regular submission begins with a succinct statement of the problem being addressed, a summary of the main results or conclusions, a brief explanation of their significance, a brief statement of the key ideas, and a comparison with related work, all tailored to a non-specialist. Technical development of the work, directed to the specialist, should follow. Papers outside of the conference scope will be rejected without review. For the third round only, if requested by the authors on the cover page, a regular submission that is not selected for a regular presentation will also be considered for the brief announcement format. This will not affect consideration of the paper for a regular presentation.
[Publication]
Regular papers and brief announcements will be included in the conference proceedings. Conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS conference series.
[Special Issue]
Extended and revised versions of selected papers will be considered for a special issue of Theoretical Computer Science (Elsevier).
[Paper Award]
Prizes will be given to the best regular paper and best student regular paper. A regular paper is eligible for the best student regular paper if at least one of its authors is a full-time student at submission time. Authors should clearly indicate whether their submission is eligible to be considered for the best student regular paper award (e.g., using a \thanks in the title). The PC may decline to confer awards or may split awards.
