AIM:
SSTiC 2014 is the second edition in a series started in 2013. For the
previous event, see http://grammars.grlmc.com/SSTiC2013/
SSTiC 2014 will be a research training event mainly addressed to PhD
students and PhD holders in the first steps of their academic career. It
intends to update them about the most recent developments in the diverse
branches of computer science and its neighbouring areas. To that purpose,
renowned scholars will lecture and will be available for interaction with
the audience.
SSTiC 2014 will cover the whole spectrum of computer science through 5
keynote lectures and 24 six-hour courses dealing with some of the most
lively topics in the field. The organizers share the idea that outstanding
speakers will really attract the brightest students.
ADDRESSED TO:
Graduate students from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites
in terms of the academic degree the attendee must hold. However, since there
will be several levels among the courses, reference may be made to specific
knowledge background in the description of some of them.
SSTiC 2014 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep
themselves updated on developments in their own field or in other branches
of computer science. They will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss
with scholars who are main references in computing nowadays.

[DMANET] 2nd CFP: CiE 2014: Language, Life, Limits - Budapest, 23-27 June 2014
*******************************************************************
2nd CALL FOR PAPERS:
CiE 2014: Language, Life, Limits
Budapest, Hungary
June 23 - 27, 2014
http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu
IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission Deadline for LNCS: 10 January 2014
Notification of authors: 3 March 2014
Deadline for final revisions: 31 March 2014
FUNDING and AWARDS:
CiE 2014 has received funding for student participation from the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science EATCS. Please contact the PC
chairs if you are interested.
The best student paper will receive an award sponsored by Springer.
CiE 2014 is the tenth conference organized by CiE (Computability in Europe),
a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer scientists,
philosophers, physicists and others interested in new developments in
computability and their underlying significance for the real world. Previous
meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005), Swansea (2006), Siena (2007),
Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011),
Cambridge (2012), and Milan (2013).
The motto of CiE 2014 "Language, Life, Limits" intends to put a special focus
on relations between computational linguistics, natural and biological
computing, and more traditional fields of computability theory. This is to
be understood in its broadest sense including computational aspects of
problems in linguistics, studying models of computation and algorithms
inspired by physical and biological approaches as well as exhibiting limits
(and non-limits) of computability when considering different models of
computation arising from such approaches.
As with previous CiE conferences the allover glueing perspective is to
strengthen the mutual benefits of analyzing traditional and new computational
paradigms in their corresponding frameworks both with respect to practical
applications and a deeper theoretical understanding. We particularly invite
papers that build bridges between different parts of the research community.
For topics covered by the conference, please visit
http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu/?Topics
We particularly welcome submissions in emergent areas, such as bioinformatics
and natural computation, where they have a basic connection with
computability.

[DMANET] CFP: International Workshop on Optimisation in Multi-Agent Systems and Distributed Constraint Reasoning - OptMAS-DCR@AAMAS
=======================================================================
CFP: International Workshop on
Optimisation in Multi-Agent Systems and Distributed Constraint Reasoning
(OptMAS-DCR)
To be held in conjunction with the
Thirteenth International Conference on Autonomous and Multi-Agent Systems
(AAMAS 2014)
=======================================================================
Workshop Website
---------------------------
http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~wyeoh/optmas-dcr2014/
Call
------
We are glad to announce that a Joint Call for papers has been agreed
between the Workshop on Optimization
in Multi-Agent Systems (OptMAS) and the Workshop on Distributed
Constraint Reasoning (DCR). This joint
OptMAS-DCR workshop invites works from different strands of the
multi-agent systems community that pertain
to the design of algorithms, models, and techniques to deal with
multi-agent optimisation problems. We will also
place a particular emphasis on DCR approaches, which include the
modeling, formulation and solution of DCR
problems, including both Distributed Constraint Satisfaction and
Optimization problems.
Important dates
-----------------------
* January, 22, 2014 - Submission of contributions to workshops
* February 19, 2014 - Workshop paper acceptance notification
* March 12, 2014 - Submission of camera-ready version
* May 5-6, 2014 - Workshop takes place in conjunction with AAMAS 2014.
Background
-----------------
The number of novel applications of multi-agent systems has followed an
exponential trend
over the last few years, ranging from online auction design, through
multi-sensor networks,
to scheduling of tasks in multi-actor systems. Multi-agent systems
designed for all these
applications generally involve some form of very hard optimization
problems that are
substantially different from problems traditionally dealt with in other
areas (e.g. industrial
processes or scheduling applications). More specifically, the technical
issues that multi-agent
algorithm designers have to deal with include:
* Open systems:algorithms to compute solutions to mechanisms that deal
with different
stakeholders, who may be self-interested or may have different
computation/communication
capabilities from their peers.
* Distributed systems:algorithms that are across different system
components, such as those
that deal with agents that are tied to physical devices. This involves
considerations of
computation and communication constraints, and the possibility of
failures of the components
and/or communication links.
* Privacy concerns:optimizing while minimising the exchange of private
information.
* Solution quality bounds:problems requiring algorithms with quality bounds.
* Robust optimisation:techniques to deal with optimizations that are
repeated with only slight
changes in the input data and/or unreliable input data.
* Highly parallel architectures:e.g., multi-core, GPGPU, which deal with
large-scale problems.
Keywords
--------------
Topics include but are not limited to:
* Distributed constraint optimization/satisfaction
* Winner determination algorithms in auctions
* Coalition formation algorithms
* Algorithms to compute Nash and other equilibria in games
* Optimization under uncertainty
* Optimization with incomplete or dynamic input data
* Algorithms for real-time applications
* GPU for general purpose computations (GPGPU)
* Multi-core and many-core computing
* Cloud, distributed and grid computing
Submission
-----------------
Participants should submit a paper (maximum *15* pages in LNCS Springer
style), describing their work
on one or more of the topics relevant to the workshop. Alternatively,
participants may submit a shorter
paper (maximum *5* pages in LNCS Springer style) presenting a research
statement or perspective on
topics relevant to the workshop.
All submissions are conducted via the OptMAS-DCR 2014 EasyChair website:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=optmasdcr2014
Reviewing process
---------------------------
Papers will be reviewed by at least 2 program committee members.
Criteria for selection of papers
will include: technical quality, novelty, significance, and clarity.
Publication
-----------------
Pre-proceedings containing all accepted papers are provided
electronically on a USB stick as a part
of the AAMAS workshop registration package. Best papers from OptMAS 2008
and OptMAS 2009
were selected for publication in the special issue on Optimisation in
Multi-Agent System of the
Journal of Autonomous and Multiagent Systems. Best papers from OptMAS
2011 and 2012 were
invited to submit to a special issue on Optimisation in Multi-Agent
System of the Computer Journal.

their careers, the work
presented does not need to be fully developed or thoroughly explored
as of yet. The purpose
of SCOR 2014 is to provide a friendly environment for the next
generation of Operational
Researchers to receive constructive feedback on their work and to meet
people with similar
interests. The scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to:
*Big Data & Analytics * Data Mining * Energy * Forecasting * Graphs /
Networks * Healthcare *
*Heuristics * Inventory * Mathematical Programming * Multicriteria
Decision Analysis *
*Neural Networks / Machine Learning * Optimisation and Applications *
Reliability / Risk
Assessment * Scheduling / Timetabling * Stochastic Modelling * Supply
Chain Management *
*Simulation / System Dynamics * Transport /Logistics*
The conference takes place just after the NATCOR course, which will
also be held in Nottingham.
*******Deadline for abstract (250 words) submission: Monday 24th
February 2014*********
A notification of acceptance will be sent shortly after this deadline.
In order to encourage a wide
range of students to attend, an affordable conference fee will cover
accommodation, a full social
program and full catering provided.
******************Deadline for PAPERS submission: Friday 11th April
2014*************************
Presenters are also invited to submit a paper (no more than 10 pages)
on their work to be
published electronically as part of the SCOR 2014 proceedings. This
will be available in the
Dagstuhl OpenAccess Series in Informatics (OASIcs). Paper submissions
will undergo a selection
process based on refereeing by the Committee. This gives doctoral
candidates a chance to
experience the peer-review process and to enhance their technical
writing skills. Although it
is not mandatory, it is again, highly recommended. To get an idea on
the paper standards
please visit the SCOR2012 proceedings.
See you in Nottingham!!!

for distributing multimedia contents over wireless networks, enabling
dissemination of professional contents to mobile users as well as
sharing user-generated contents among them. Users will be able to
retrieve, publish, and manage information, communicate with other users
or devices, access and author services, create and exploit context-
awareness and so on. Papers that present original work, validated by
experimentation, simulation, or analysis, are solicited. Practical
experiences and experimental efforts from both industry and academy,
duly documenting the lessons learned from testbeds, field-trials, or
real deployments, are also welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Wireless multimedia systems, services and applications
- Opportunistic and delay-tolerant networks
- Ad-hoc, sensor, mesh and vehicular wireless networks
- Wireless BAN, PAN, LAN, MAN and WAN
- Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and the Internet of Things
- Middleware services for wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
- Context-awareness in wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
- Content-centric architectures, multimedia content management and
distribution for mobile networks
- Localization mechanisms and services
- Participatory and urban sensing
- Mobile social networking
- Resource management and QoS/QoE provisioning
- Multicasting and broadcasting issues
- Handoff and mobility management
- Network management and control
- Dependability, reliability and survivability issues for wireless,
mobile and multimedia networks
- Security and privacy issues for wireless, mobile and multimedia
networks
- Energy-efficient protocols and power management
- Seamless internetworking and self-organization
- System prototypes, measurements, real deployment, and experiences
- Modeling, analysis, and performance evaluation
AWARDS AND EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UP
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Papers presented at the Symposium will be considered for a Best Paper
Award. Papers of particular merit will be considered for a fast track
publication in the Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal.
