[DMANET] ResEff 2013 in Goettingen, Germany - Second Call for Papers
********************************
International Conference on Resource Efficiency in Interorganizational
Networks 2013 (ResEff)
13-14 November 2013, Goettingen, Germany
Second Call for Papers
********************************
On 13th and 14th November 2013, the Georg-August-Universität
Goettingen (Germany) will host the first International Conference on
Resource Efficiency in Interorganizational Networks (ResEff) and the
deadline for abstracts is drawing near!
======================
Confirmed Invited Speakers
Prof. Martin Faulstich
CUTEC Institute of Environmental Technology
Chair of the German Advisory Council on the Environment
Prof. Barry Goodell
Sustainable Biomaterials
Virgina Polytechnic Institute and State University
Prof. Adisa Azapagic
Sustainable Chemical Engineering
University of Manchester
======================
Renewable raw materials are becoming increasingly important as an
alternative resource base in industrial networks. Consequently,
research for methods improving the efficient use of renewable
resources in production processes with by-products is crucial. The aim
is cascade utilization, thus the multiple utilization of a raw
material before its conversion into energy.
The ResEff brings together interdisciplinary researchers developing
strategies and solution concepts for efficient resource utilization.
It is therefore a forum for scientific exchange both between experts
as well as interdisciplinary groups.
The conference will include parallel sessions for presentation of
papers in the fields of agricultural and forestry science,
mathematical optimization, operations research, marketing, business
informatics, production and logistics. Each track contains different
sessions for expert talks. The interdisciplinary exchange is fostered
through special talks and meetings, where all groups come together.
======================
The session "Mathematical Optimization in the Presence of
Uncertainties" might be of special interest to you. A short
description can be found below:
======================
Decisions in the context of renewable resources, i.e. in forestry and
agriculture, often have to be made without the knowledge of all
relevant data. In order to model and hedge against these uncertainties
in mathematical optimization problems, the fields of stochastic,
robust and online optimization have evolved over the last years. We
invite contributions to the field of mathematical optimization with
applications to resource efficiency, in particular concepts,
theoretical results and solution approaches for optimization in the
presence of uncertainty.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to applications of
operations research in the context of
- renewable resources and
- resource constraints,
in particular when dealing with uncertain future knowledge. Techniques include
- robust optimization,
- online optimization,
- stochastic optimization,
- multi-objective optimization.
======================
The deadline for submission of abstracts (approximately two pages) is
31 May 2013. Guidelines for submission can be found on the conference
website. Submissions are subjected to an independent and professional
blind peer review and will be judged on originality, significance,
interest, clarity, relevance, correctness and presentation.

[DMANET] Final CfP: IEEE SenseApp 2013 (Sydney, Australia)
My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call for papers
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
------------------------------
EXTENDED DEADLINE: 27 May 2013
------------------------------
SENSEAPP 2013
EIGHTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES
IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS
(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2013)
Novotel Central Sydney
Sydney, Australia
21 October 2013
http://www.senseapp.org
https://twitter.com/IEEESenseApp
CALL FOR PAPERS
Sensor nodes are autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce, yet prototypic implementations are getting more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for extending dedicated sensor networks. Experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks.
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It acts as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications
- Innovative sensor network applications
- Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments
- Middleware support for sensor networks
- Programming and debugging sensor networks
- Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks
- Experiences with new sensor hardware
- Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization
- Experiences with communication protocols
- Practical medium access control protocols (MACs)
- Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments
- Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks
- Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation
- Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime
- Configuration and installation support
- Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns
- Interconnection between IP and sensor networks
- Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices
- Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments
Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal.

SENSEAPP 2013
EIGHTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES
IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS
(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2013)
Novotel Central Sydney
Sydney, Australia
21 October 2013
http://www.senseapp.org

CALL FOR PAPERS
Sensor nodes are autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce, yet prototypic implementations are getting more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for extending dedicated sensor networks. Experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks.
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It acts as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications
- Innovative sensor network applications
- Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments
- Middleware support for sensor networks
- Programming and debugging sensor networks
- Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks
- Experiences with new sensor hardware
- Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization
- Experiences with communication protocols
- Practical medium access control protocols (MACs)
- Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments
- Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks
- Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation
- Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime
- Configuration and installation support
- Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns
- Interconnection between IP and sensor networks
- Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices
- Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments
Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

[DMANET] GRAPHITE 2013: Call for (Short) Papers - Post-proceedings EPTCS
GRAPHITE 2013
Second Workshop on GRAPH Inspection and Traversal Engineering
(affiliated with ETAPS 2013)
http://www.win.tue.nl/~awijs/graphite
Call for (Short) Papers - Post-proceedings EPTCS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Objectives
----------
The topic of the GRAPHITE workshop is graph analysis in all its forms in computer science.
Graphs are used to represent data in many application areas, and they are subjected to
various computational algorithms in order to acquire the desired information. These graph
algorithms tend to have common characteristics, such as duplicate detection to guarantee
their termination, independent of their application domain. Over the past few years, it has
been shown that the scalability of such algorithms can be dramatically improved by using,
e.g., external memory, by exploiting parallel architectures, such as clusters, multi-core
CPUs, and graphics processing units, and by using heuristics to guide the search. Novel
techniques to further scale graph search algorithms, and new applications of graph search
are within the scope of this workshop. Another topic of interest of the event is more
related to the structural properties of graphs: which kind of graph characteristics are
relevant for a particular application area, and how can these be measured? Finally, any
novel way of using graphs for a particular application area is on topic. The goal of this
event is to gather scientists from different communities, such as model checking, artificial
intelligence planning, game playing, and algorithm engineering, who do research on graph
search algorithms, such that awareness of each others' work is increased.
The workshop has been held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2013, the
16th edition of The European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice
of Software (ETAPS). ETAPS is a primary European forum for academic
and industrial researchers working on topics relating to Software Science.
The current call is for submissions for the post-proceedings, to be published in the second
half of 2013. As such, authors of accepted papers will not be invited to present their work,
but their papers will be included in the proceedings.
Workshop Specific Topics
-----------------------------------
We encourage submission of works which include but are not limited to the following topics:
* Algorithms for the verification of hardware and software based on graph exploration
(e.g. the computation of an explicit state space based on an implicit description)
* Application of graph based techniques originating in one application domain, applied on
a problem in another domain (e.g. verification algorithms on artificial intelligence problems)
* Techniques to deal with potentially infinite graphs and infinite families of graphs
* Innovative or otherwise particularly significant case studies of applications of graph based
methods
* Theoretical results on the limits and possibilities of graph based methods
* Parallel algorithms for graph exploration for distributed and shared memory systems (e.g.
clusters, multi-core CPUs, GPGPUs)
* Graph algorithms in artificial intelligence; planning; game playing; social network analysis;
biological network analysis, and similar
* Graph minimisation and abstraction techniques as a preprocessing step for analysis (e.g.
bisimulation reduction, transitive reduction)
* Computation on graphs through graph transformation techniques
* I/O Efficient graph algorithms using external memory
Papers on applications and papers bridging multiple application domains are strongly
encouraged. In addition, this call also encourages the submission of short papers, either
presenting a new tool or new scientific results that can be described succinctly.
Solicited Contributions
-------------------------------
The submitted papers should contain original work which has not been
submitted or accepted for publication elsewhere. Submissions should
adhere to the EPTCS format. All accepted papers will be included in
the workshop proceedings.
We solicit two kinds of papers:
*Tool Papers or Short Technical Papers no longer than 7 pages. Tool papers should describe
the contribution of a new tool, how it works, and how it is implemented. Experimental results
are encouraged. Short technical papers are intended to succinctly present new scientific results
related to the GRAPHITE topics.
*Full Technical Papers no longer than 15 pages.
Submission and Publication
--------------------------------------

18th century to host, originally, the Norbertine order. During our
conference you may admire its gardens while enjoying fine French food
and drink the surprising Lorraine beer, the abbey has its own flavor.
The scientific program contains three invited talks, four tutorials,
ten plenary talks and more than 60 regular talks. The detailed program
is now available on our website (see

CiE serves as an interdisciplinary forum for research in all aspects
of computability and foundations of computer science, as well as the
interplay of these theoretical areas with practical issues in computer
science and with other disciplines such as biology, mathematics,
philosophy, or physics.
Women in Computability Workshop, July 2, 2013:
We continue the programme "Women in Computability" supported by the
journal "Annals of Pure and Applied Logic" (Elsevier).
Speakers: Irene Finocchi, Laxmi Parida, Liesbeth De Mol
The Women in Computability workshop aims to bring together women in
Computing and Mathematical research to present and exchange their academic
and scientific experience with young researchers. The meeting will offer
the CIE scientific community the opportunity to encourage young students,
especially young female researchers, to have active careers in the
mathematical and computational sciences.
INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS:
Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, this year's CiE
conference endeavours to get the best of both worlds. In addition to
the formal presentations based on our LNCS proceedings volume, we invite
researchers to present informal presentations. For this, please send us a
brief description of your talk (between one paragraph and one page) by the
DEADLINE:
MAY 31, 2013
Please submit your abstract electronically, via EasyChair
<https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=cie2013>, selecting the category
"Informal Presentation".
You will be notified whether your talk has been accepted for informal
presentation usually within a week after your submission.
**** Also authors of abstracts accepted for presentation are invited to
submit a paper extending the abstract to the journal Computability ****

CiE serves as an interdisciplinary forum for research in all aspects
of computability and foundations of computer science, as well as the
interplay of these theoretical areas with practical issues in computer
science and with other disciplines such as biology, mathematics,
philosophy, or physics.
Women in Computability Workshop, July 2, 2013:
We continue the programme "Women in Computability" supported by the
journal "Annals of Pure and Applied Logic" (Elsevier).
Speakers: Irene Finocchi, Laxmi Parida, Liesbeth De Mol
The Women in Computability workshop aims to bring together women in
Computing and Mathematical research to present and exchange their academic
and scientific experience with young researchers. The meeting will offer
the CIE scientific community the opportunity to encourage young students,
especially young female researchers, to have active careers in the
mathematical and computational sciences.
INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS:
Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, this year's CiE
conference endeavours to get the best of both worlds. In addition to
the formal presentations based on our LNCS proceedings volume, we invite
researchers to present informal presentations. For this, please send us a
brief description of your talk (between one paragraph and one page) by the
DEADLINE:
MAY 31, 2013
Please submit your abstract electronically, via EasyChair
<https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=cie2013>, selecting the category
"Informal Presentation".
You will be notified whether your talk has been accepted for informal
presentation usually within a week after your submission.
**** Also authors of abstracts accepted for presentation are invited to
submit a paper extending the abstract to the journal Computability ****
