There is a Ph.D. studentship starting in September/October 2014 at the
Operational Research group at the School of Mathematics at the
University of Edinburgh on the topic "Mixed Integer Programming
techniques dedicated to the robust design of aerospace system
architecture". The deadline for applications is 31 January 2014. The
expected starting date is September/October 2014 and the duration of the
studentship is 3.5 years. Details on the procedure can be found at
http://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/pg/prosp.shtml. For details on the case,
please contact Dr Sergio García Quiles (sergio.garcia-quiles@ed.ac.uk).
1. Context : EADS Innovation Works
EADS is a global leader in aerospace, defense and related services that
designs and manufactures aircrafts, helicopters, launchers or
satellites. It is the mother company of AIRBUS, ASTRIUM and EUROCOPTER.
The research and development activities of EADS are done through a
global transnational network of technical capability centres, called the
EADS Innovation Works (IW).
EADS IW covers the skills and technology fields that are identified as
strategic for EADS. These activities cover a wide spectrum of
technological domains; they are targeted at the different levels in the
value chain and structured according to the timelines of short
term/committed programmes, medium term/optional programmes and long
term/advanced concepts for the introduction of new technologies into the
company products and processes.
EADS IW has two main sites in Suresnes (Paris) and Ottobrunn (Munich)
and employs approximately 600 people including doctorates and
undergraduate interns. Proximity centres are maintained in Toulouse,
Nantes, Hamburg, Bremen and Stade to support knowledge transfer to
Business Units in these locations. In addition, EADS Innovation Works
operates centres in Singapore, and Newport and Filton in the UK, and has
also launched a centre in Getafe (Madrid), and most recently in
Bangalore, India, and California, US. A liaison office operates in
Moscow, which facilitates relations with Russia scientific institutes.
2. Department of Applied Mathematics
The Ph.D. thesis will be done in collaboration with the Applied
Mathematics department of EADS IW. This department counts more than 20
researchers and engineers working on several topics that are of critical
importance for EADS aerospace applications. Among these topics, one can
mention: uncertainties propagation, probabilistic modelling, numerical
optimization, numerical analysis, high performance computing, diagnostic
and pronostic.
3. Towards Mixed Integer Programming activity at EADS IW
Over the last ten years, some very good knowledge and capabilities have
been developed in continuous optimization (non-linear programming
essentially) in this department and successfully demonstrated on
industrial applications (aerodynamics, electromagnetism, acoustics...).
Today there is an ever increasing demand from the design offices for
taking into account discrete variables in their optimization processes.
For this reason, it is important to develop knowledge and capabilities
around this topic (Mixed Integer Programming, MIP). Attention will be
paid on mathematical formulation, modelling formulation and link to
relevant tools.
4. Ph.D. thesis: Mixed Integer Programming techniques dedicated to the
robust design of aerospace system architecture
The objective of the Ph.D. thesis is to contribute to consolidate the
expertise in MIP and demonstrate it on representative industrial
applications. The first year will be devoted to a comprehensive
bibliographic survey on Mixed Integer Programming. A particular
attention will be paid on the following sub-topics:
1. Large scale issues, in terms of number of variables and constraints.
2. Non linearity of the objective function and constraints.
3. Model of sensitivity analysis for discrete variables.
4. Robustness issues (how to qualify the robustness of the solution of a
MIP problem).
As it is very important for us to integrate in our products the
state-of-the-art optimization technologies, this comprehensive study
should establish the theoretical and technological maturity of all the
methods and their ability to be deployed efficiently into an industrial
context. For the technologies that are not still mature, the study
should provide recommendations in terms of research axis to develop. In
addition, all the methods that will be described by the study will be
illustrated by representative "academic" software test-cases.
The second and third year will be devoted to the study of the industrial
application, i.e., the optimization of the cockpit system architecture.
The first step will be dedicated to the writing of the general
formulation of the underlying MIP problem. The driving idea of the Ph.D.
is to address successively the four previous sub-topics on the
industrial test cases in order to make the problem and consequently the
formulation progressively harder. Of course, a key question will be to
determine how the algorithms proposed during the first year and tested
on simple academic test cases can be re-used or adapted when dealing
with an industrial application.
The second year will be dedicated to large scale and non-linearity
issues. The third year will be dedicated to sensitivity analysis and
robustness issues: it is very important for industrial applications to
be able to provide information about the level of margins of an
optimized solution.
The Ph.D. student will be located in the School of Mathematics at the
University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Dr Sergio García
Quiles. There will be regular jointly remote meetings with Dr Vassili
Srithammavanh as well as face-to-face meetings in Paris (around two per
year).

to better prepare for their research and career path in parallel and
distributed computing. Participating students will have the
opportunity to both present their research work and interact with
senior academic and industry people in an informal setting and also to
be part of mentoring sessions on communication skills, career
planning, and the latest research topics – all while enjoying the
IPDPS main conference and many associated workshops. IPDPS 2014 will
prioritize student travel fund allocation to PhD Forum participants
(those presenting posters) within the pool of all applicants.

IPDPS community with an opportunity to explore special topics and/or
present work that is more preliminary or cutting-edge than the more
mature research presented in the main symposium. Proceedings of the
workshops are published by the IEEE Digital Library and are
distributed at the conference. Please note that each workshop has its
own requirements and schedule for submissions, and all the workshops

Call for Papers
UNIF 2014
The 28th International Workshop on Unification
July 13, 2014. Vienna, Austria
a FLoC workshop hosted by RTA-TLCA and IJCAR
http://vsl2014.at/unif
====================================================
UNIF 2014 is the 28th event in a series of international meetings
devoted to
unification theory and its applications. Unification is concerned with the
problem of identifying terms, finding solutions for equations, or making
formulas equivalent. It is a fundamental process used in a number of fields
of computer science, including automated reasoning, term rewriting, logic
programming, natural language processing, program analysis, types, etc.
The International Workshop on Unification (UNIF) is a yearly forum for
researchers in unification theory and related fields to meet old and new
colleagues, to present recent (even unfinished) work, and to discuss new
ideas
and trends. It is also a good opportunity for young researchers and
scientists
working in related areas to get an overview of the current state of the
art in
unification theory.
Topics
------

************************************************************************
Aims & Scope
The HM Workshops are intended to be an international forum for
researchers in the area of design, analysis, and experimental
evaluation of metaheuristics. Metaheuristics, such as simulated
annealing, evolutionary algorithms, tabu search, ant colony
optimization, scatter search and iterated local search, are
considered state-of-the-art methods for many problems. In
recent years, however, it has become evident that the
concentration on a sole metaheuristic is rather restrictive. A
skilled combination of concepts from different optimization
techniques can provide a more efficient behavior and a higher
flexibility when dealing with real-world and large-scale
problems.
Hybrid Metaheuristics are such techniques for optimization that
combine different metaheuristics or integrate AI/OR techniques
into metaheuristics. Previously organized Workshops were held
in Ischia Island (HM 2013), Vienna (HM 2010), Udine (HM 2009),
Malaga (HM 2008), Dortmund (HM 2007), Gran Canaria (HM 2006),
Barcelona (HM 2005), and València (HM 2004).
HM2014 is organized as a non-profit event.
************************************************************************
Topics of Interest
Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics including but
not limited to:
- Novel combinations of components from different metaheuristics
- Hybridization of metaheuristics and AI/OR techniques
- Low-level hybridization
- High-level hybridization, portfolio techniques, expert systems
- Cooperative search
- Automated parameter tuning
- Empirical and statistical comparison
- Theoretical aspects of hybridization
- Parallelization
- Software libraries
************************************************************************
Paper Submission
Authors are invited to submit a full paper describing original,
unpublished research with at most 15 pages (in LNCS style).
Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into an
appendix to be read by the program committee members at their
discretion.
Electronic submissions should be formatted in pdf. Simultaneous
submission to other conferences or workshops with published
proceedings is not allowed.
The proceedings will be published in Springer's LNCS series.

Demographic change and increasing health expenditures in the world make the
healthcare delivery research a hot topic. Hospitals in the world are
becoming larger and larger to take advantage of the scale economic but also
become more and more complex to design and to operate. Aging population
makes chronic diseases increasingly important and leads to the need of
better disease prevention, diagnostic, treatment planning and proactive
cares. Patients are more and more concerned by healthcare safety and
traceability. Healthcare systems are also changing and new health services
such as home healthcare and telemedicine are growing. Most hospitals used to
empiric management are not prepared for and innovative systems engineering
approaches are needed.
Recent development of advance medical technologies makes the systems
engineering approach possible. The increasing availability of healthcare
relevant data makes possible better disease prevention, diagnostic and
healthcare system operations. Automation technologies such as robotics and
ICT technologies are making healthcare logistics more efficient and safer.
Innovative operations research techniques have been developed for a wide
range of healthcare applications such as operating room planning, emergency
department staffing, breast cancer screening, radiotherapy treatment
planning, home healthcare planning, long-term care planning and scheduling,
Scope and Topics –

[DMANET] 2nd CFP OptMAS-DCR@AAMAS: International Workshop on Optimisation in Multi-Agent Systems and Distributed Constraint Reasoning
=======================================================================
CFP: International Workshop on
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.
Invited Talk
-----------------------
An invited speech will be given by Prof. Toby Walsh
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.
We plan to continue this initiative for the current and next editions.

[DMANET] CiE 2014: Language, Life, Limits - extended deadline
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS (incl. deadline extension due to popular demand)
CiE 2014: Language, Life, Limits
Budapest, Hungary
June 23 - 27, 2014
http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu
IMPORTANT DATES:
EXTENDED Submission Deadline for LNCS: 20 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] CoopMAS'14 @AAMAS'14: call for papers
We would like to invite submissions to
CoopMAS'14: the 5th International Workshop on Cooperative Games in
Multiagent Systems, to be co-located with AAMAS'14 in Paris in May
2014.
*********************** Aims and focus **************************
The use of cooperative game theory to study how agents should
cooperate and collaborate, along with the related topic of coalition
formation, has received growing attention from the multiagent systems,
game theory, and electronic commerce communities.
The workshop is intended to focus on topics in cooperation in
multiagent systems, cooperative game theory, cooperative solution
concepts, coalition formation, and applications.
We encourage submission of papers describing original work, as well as
accepted AAMAS short papers, and work recently published in
conferences other than AAMAS. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
Cooperative game theory
Coalition formation
Joint decision making and voting
Representation issues
Negotiation
Collaborative filtering
Market and economics based cooperation
Behavioral models for cooperative games
Applications of cooperative solution concepts
The workshop should be of interest to researchers who study the
mathematical and algorithmic properties of cooperative games;
researches interested in promoting cooperation in multiagent systems,
designing and implementing collaborating agents and mechanisms that
incentivize cooperation; and researchers studying the underlying
connections between cooperative game theory and other topics in game
theory and computer science.
We also welcome participants who are interested in applications of
cooperative game theory (for example, trading agents, recommender
systems, and energy and water management). In particular we encourage
submissions on empirical and experimental study of applying solution
concepts from cooperative game theory to real world problems.
***************************Key dates****************************
Submission of contributions: 5 Feb 2014
Acceptance notification: 1 March 2014
Workshop: 5-6 May 2014
*****************Submission Instructions************************
Submission must follow the Springer LNCS format (see
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=016467933410 for
formatting instructions) and should be a maximum of 15 pages.
Papers must be submitted in PDF through easychair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coopmas2014
CoopMAS is considered a nonarchival venue and there are no published
proceedings, though informal proceedings will be distributed to all
workshop participants.
This means that publishing a paper in CoopMAS should not prevent one
from submitting it to a conference or a journal at the same or later
time. The requirement to use the LNCS format is imposed to ensure
uniformity.
