[DMANET] [Scheduling seminar] Vikram Tiwari (Vanderbilt Uni) | June 7 | Surgery Scheduling: Research and Practice

Dear scheduling researcher,

We are delighted to announce the talk given by Vikram Tiwari (Vanderbilt
University).
The title is "Surgery Scheduling: Research and Practice".

The seminar will take place on Zoom on Wednesday, June 7 at 13:00 UTC.
Join Zoom Meeting
https://cesnet.zoom.us/j/96890046173?pwd=bjYzLzkzSUJMU1ZCMWhka2h4RjRqdz09
Meeting ID: 968 9004 6173
Passcode: 999261

You can follow the seminar online or offline on our Youtube channel as well:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUoCNnaAfw5NAntItILFn4A

The abstract follows.
Scheduling of surgeries is a complex process that involves simultaneous
scheduling of not only several resources (staff, room, equipment,
supplies, instruments), but also building flexibility in
capacity-reservation policies to accommodate most types of patient
classes. In the case of trauma centers this complexity increases even
more due to the need for dynamic rescheduling of elective surgeries as
emergency surgeries arrive randomly. In practice, these issues are
tackled every day in a 'non-optimal / heuristic' way. Recent research in
this area has shown the potential of implementing modified priority
rules. In contrast to trauma centers, ambulatory surgery centers only
perform elective surgeries and have a lower cost structure. Their
profitability is therefore dependent upon efficient use of capacity.
Recent research has modeled these as Hybrid Flow Shops and solved the
capacity planning problem using easy to implement heuristics. This talk
will also discuss some new avenues of operating room scheduling that
have not yet been researched by academics.

The next talk in our series will be:
Tami Tamir (Reichman Uni) | June 21 | Scheduling with Machine-Dependent
Priority Lists.

*Keywords:*Combinatorial optimization, production planning,
decomposition approaches, semiconductor manufacturing.

*Objectives of the PhD thesis :*

In semiconductor manufacturing, operational production planning is the
bridge between tactical production planning, which defines the delivery
and production start plans, and local scheduling decisions. Operational
production planning considers the detailed characteristics of the
manufacturing facility (product routes, machines, operation eligibility,
etc.) to define production targets to manage control flows. This
function is currently provided by a homemade tool, whose heuristic
approach is running out of steam. A recent PhD thesis with Mines
Saint-Etienne proposed a novel optimization approach, and recent studies
have shown the possibility of extending this approach to industrial data
from the Crolles300 manufacturing facility. The objective of the thesis
is to build on this work to propose a new production planning approach
to provide production plans that consider the constraints and optimize
various indicators such as the linearity of the fab, the control of the
cycle times, the respect of the delivery dates, the use of the machines,
the satisfaction  of time constraints, etc.

*Candidate profile:*

Applicants must have a Master Degree (or equivalent) in Operations
Research, Applied Mathematics, Computer Sciences or any related
discipline. Applicants should demonstrate good programming skills and a
deep knowledge in combinatorial optimization and integer programming.

*Application procedure: *

FRAMEWORK:

BigDat 2023 Summer is part of a multi-event called Deep&Big 2023 consisting=
also of DeepLearn 2023 Summer. BigDat 2023 Summer participants will have t=
he opportunity to attend lectures in the program of DeepLearn 2023 Summer a=
s well if they are interested.

SCOPE:

BigDat 2023 Summer will be a research training event with a global scope ai=
ming at updating participants on the most recent advances in the critical a=
nd fast developing area of big data. Previous events were held in Tarragona=
, Bilbao, Bari, Timisoara, Cambridge and Ancona.

Big data is a broad field covering a large spectrum of current exciting res=
earch and industrial innovation with an extraordinary potential for a huge =
impact on scientific discoveries, health, engineering, business models, and=
society itself. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and =
share their views with the audience.

Most big data subareas will be displayed, namely foundations, infrastructur=
e, management, search and mining, analytics, security and privacy, as well =
as applications to biology and medicine, business, finance, transportation,=
online social networks, etc. Major challenges of analytics, management and=
storage of big data will be identified through 14 four-hour and a half cou=
rses and 1 keynote lecture, which will tackle the most active and promising=
topics. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers will attrac=
t the brightest and most motivated students. Face to face interaction and n=
etworking will be main ingredients of the event. It will be also possible t=
o fully participate in vivo remotely.

An open session will give participants the opportunity to present their own=
work in progress in 5 minutes. Moreover, there will be two special session=
s with industrial and employment profiles.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduate students, postgraduate students and industry practitioners will be=
typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisi=
tes for attendance in terms of academic degrees, so people less or more adv=
anced in their career will be welcome as well. Since there will be a variet=
y of levels, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the c=
ourses. Overall, BigDat 2023 Summer is addressed to students, researchers a=
nd practitioners who want to keep themselves updated about recent developme=
nts and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen to and di=
scuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators.

WORKSHOP HISTORY
=================

Since the appearance of Bitcoin in 2009, a plethora of new
cryptocurrencies and other blockchain based systems have been deployed
with different success. While some of them are slightly different
copies of Bitcoin, other ones propose interesting improvements or new
usages of the underlying blockchain technology. However, the novelty
of such technologies is often tied with rapid developments and
proof-of-concept software, and rigorous scientific analyses of the
proposed systems are often skipped.

This workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers in this area to
carefully analyze current systems and propose new ones in order to
create a scientific background for a solid development of new
cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology systems.

The main topics include (but are not limited to):

* Anonymity and privacy in cryptocurrencies
* Privacy-preserving technologies
* Cryptocurrency based trust systems
* Security analysis of existing cryptocurrencies
* Formal threat models in cryptocurrency systems
* Improvement proposals for existing cryptocurrencies
* Application and service cases of distributed ledgers technologies
* P2P network cryptocurrencies analysis
* Private transactions in blockchain based systems
* New usages of the blockchain technology
* Scalability solutions for blockchain systems
* Blockchain-defined networking
* Smart contracts
* Distributed Identity Management
* Distributed consensus and fault tolerance
* Blockhain Protocols and algorithms
* Transaction Monitoring and Analysis
* Token Economy, finance and payments
* Consensus mechanisms
* On-chain and off-chain code synergies
* Oracles, DeFi, and non-fungible tokens
* Decentralized applications and protocols
* Blockchain as a service

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

[DMANET] PhD position in Toulouse (France)

*PhD position at Toulouse University*

§_Title_ : Towards a more sustainable urban mobility: what kind of
'detour' model?

§_Acronyme_ :MoDuMoDe

§Period: 36 months (September 2023 - September 2026)

§Co-funding: University of Toulouse and Occitanie Region

§Average gross monthly salary: €2200

§Co-supervisors: Bertrand Jouve (Mathematician, CNRS Research Director,
HDR, bertrand.jouve@univ-tlse2.fr <mailto:bertrand.jouve@univ-tlse2.fr>,
LISST), Bruno Revelli (Geographer, Associate Professor UT2J,
bruno.revelli@univ-tlse2.fr <mailto:bruno.revelli@univ-tlse2.fr>,
LISST), Paul Rochet (Mathematician, ENAC Research Professor, HDR,
paul.rochet@enac.fr <mailto:paul.rochet@enac.fr>

§Hosting institutions: Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Solidarités,
Sociétés, Territoires (LISST, UMR 5193 CNRS UT2J) et l'Ecole Nationale
de l'Aviation Civile (ENAC).

§Expected profile: Candidates may have diverse profiles, including
discrete mathematics. They must demonstrate an interest in
interdisciplinary approaches and research questions in the field of
sustainable development. Previous experience in mobility modeling will
be appreciate but is not necessary.

§Abstract: The MoDuMoDe project is an interdisciplinary project that
concerns the development of cycling mobility in urban areas. It proposes
to define the notion of "detour" in a cycling itinerary, to evaluate its
"cost" from the perspective of both 'internal' variables related to the
topology of the route and 'external' variables related to the
representation and perception that the individual has of the route.
Being able to provide cyclists with more 'attractive' itineraries within
the limits of 'acceptable' detours can increase the rate of bicycle use
in urban areas. The proposed approach studies and models the notion of
"detour" by combining combinatorial and optimization methods, borrowing
from complex network analysis, real Origin/Destination data and field
surveys. The real data and surveys concern the cities of Toulouse and
Tunis, which have already been explored by the team. The project is
based on an implementation of computer science. The MoDuMoDe project is
part of a dual dynamic at the Toulouse site around sustainable mobility,
led by both the Occitanie region (key challenge 'Intelligent and
Sustainable Mobility in Occitanie') and the University of Toulouse
(TIRIS project).

§Application: Send a CV and a letter of motivation to
bertrand.jouve@univ-tlse2.fr, bruno.revelli@univ-tlse2.fr and
paul.rochet@enac.fr. A first selection will be made on applications
received before June 30, 2023. If necessary, a second selection will be
made on additional applications received between June 30 and July 15, 2023.

we are happy to announce that this year's Chow lectures will take place at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig on October 16-18. The speaker will be June Huh (Princeton University).

June Huh is mainly known for solving long-standing conjectures in combinatorics and discrete geometry using and extending ideas from algebraic geometry. His many distinctions include a Clay Research Fellowship, the New Horizons in Mathematics Prize, and the Fields Medal in 2022.

At the Chow lectures he will give an overview of recent developments in the theory of Lorentzian polynomials, starting from his initial work with Petter Brändén and covering some more recent works of Aluffi, Brändén-Leake, Chan-Pak, Hu-Xiao, Ross, Ross-Süß-Wannerer, and others.

The lectures will be accompanied by talks and exercise sessions lead by Chris Eur, Sofía Garzón, Alheydis Geiger, Shiyue Li and Jacob Matherne, as well as a historical talk by Norbert Schappacher.

The idea behind the Chow lectures is to give early-career mathematicians the opportunity to enjoy lectures by internationally renowned experts on active fields of modern mathematics and to create a stimulating research environment.

Limited travel funding can be provided for early-career participants such as postdoctoral researchers and PhD students. Applicants are expected to submit a brief academic CV and a motivation letter or an article on a related topic for evaluation. Further instructions on the funding application follow in the confirmation of registration.

WiL 2023: 7th Women in Logic Workshop

July 1st, 2023

Part of FSCD 2023
https://sites.google.com/view/wil2023/

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Women in Logic 2023 is a satellite event of the 8th International Conference

on Formal Structures for Computation and Deduction (FSCD 2023) to be held

in Rome, Italy, from July 1 to July 6, 2023.


The Women in Logic workshop (WiL) provides an opportunity to increase

awareness of the valuable contributions made by women in the area of

logic in computer science. Its main purpose is to promote the excellent

research done by women, with the ultimate goal of increasing their

visibility and representation in the community. Our aim is to:


- provide a platform for female researchers to share their work and

achievements;

- increase the feelings of community and belonging, especially among

junior faculty, post-docs and students through positive interactions

with peers and more established faculty;

- establish new connections and collaborations;

- foster a welcoming culture of mutual support and growth within the

logic research community.

We believe these aspects will benefit women working in logic and computer

science, particularly early-career researchers.


Previous versions of Women in Logic (Reykjavík 2017, Oxford 2018,

Vancouver 2019, Paris 2020, Rome 2021, and Haifa 2022) were very successful

in showcasing women's work and as catalysts for a recognition of the need

for change in the community.


Topics of interest include but are not limited to: automata theory,

automated deduction, categorical models and logics, concurrency

and distributed computation, constraint programming, constructive

mathematics, database theory, decision procedures, description logics,

domain theory, finite model theory, formal aspects of program analysis,

formal methods, foundations of computability, games and logic,

higher-order logic, lambda and combinatory calculi, linear logic,

logic in artificial intelligence, logic programming, logical aspects

of bioinformatics, logical aspects of computational complexity,

logical aspects of quantum computation, logical frameworks, logics

of programs, modal and temporal logics, model checking, probabilistic

systems, process calculi, programming language semantics, proof theory,

real-time systems, reasoning about security and privacy, rewriting,

type systems and type theory, and verification.
