TOPICS

The workshop on Advances in Preference Handling addresses all
computational aspects of preference handling. This includes methods
for the elicitation, learning, modeling, representation, aggregation,
and management of preferences and for reasoning about preferences. The
workshop studies the usage of preferences in computational tasks from
decision making, database querying, web search, personalized human-
computer interaction, personalized recommender systems, e-commerce,
multi-agent systems, game theory, social choice, combinatorial
optimization, planning and robotics, automated problem solving,
perception and natural language understanding and other computational
tasks involving choices. The workshop seeks to improve the overall
understanding of and best methodologies for preferences in order to
realize their benefits in the multiplicity of tasks for which they are
used. Another important goal is to provide cross-fertilization between
the numerous sub-fields that work with preferences.

- Preference handling in artificial intelligence
- Preference handling in database systems
- Preference handling in multi-agent systems
- Applications of preferences
- Preference elicitation and learning
- Preference representation and modeling

[DMANET] Doctoral and Postdoctoral Positions in Equilibrium Learning at the Technical University of Munich

The Chair of Decision Sciences and Systems at the Technical University
of Munich (TUM), led by Prof. Martin Bichler, is seeking candidates to
join the newly established research team for the ERC Advanced Grant
project "Equilibrium Learning, Uncertainty, and Dynamics."

**About the Project **

Market interaction is increasingly automated by artificial learning
agents. Examples include pricing agents in electronic retail or bidding
agents in display-advertising auctions. The economic properties of such
systems are still poorly understood. In general, learning procedures in
game-theoretic problems can exhibit cyclic behavior or even lead to
chaotic dynamics. In the ELUD research project, we address the question
of if and when learning agents converge to an efficient equilibrium and
when this is not the case. ELUD will design new algorithms for computing
equilibria.

**Positions Available**

We invite applications for Doctoral Researchers (Ph.D Candidates) and
Postdoctoral Researchers

These full-time positions (100%) are initially offered for two years,
with the possibility of extension, depending on performance and project
needs.

* An excellent academic record, including top grades and, where
applicable, peer-reviewed publications.

* Strong motivation, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to work
independently and collaboratively.

* Solid English communication skills (spoken and written). Proficiency
in German is not required.

Responsibilities include collaborative research within the team and with
external partners, contribution to teaching activities, and active
engagement in the broader academic life of the group.

**Work Environment**

The successful candidates will join a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and
international research community at the TUM Garching campus. TUM's
Department of Computer Science is part of the TUM School of Computation,

[DMANET] LATIN2026 - Second Call for Papers (deadline Oct 6)

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

LATIN 2026

The 17th Latin American Theoretical Informatics Symposium will be held on April 13-17, 2026,

in Florianópolis, Brazil. All information about the conference can be found at https://latin2026.ufsc.br<https://latin2026.ufsc.br/>

DATES

Abstract deadline: October 6, 2025

Full paper submission deadline: October 13, 2025

Notification: January 9, 2026

Camera Ready: early February, 2026

Symposium: April 13-17, 2026 (* there will be mini-courses/tutorials starting April 12th)

All deadlines are at 11:59pm AoE (Anywhere on Earth).

SCOPE AND TOPICS

LATIN 2026 is devoted to different areas in theoretical computer science including, but not limited, to: algorithmic game theory, algorithms (approximation, online, parametrized, randomized, etc.), analytic combinatorics and analysis of algorithms, automata theory and formal languages, coding theory and data compression, combinatorial and graph algorithms, combinatorial optimization, combinatorics and graph theory, computational algebra and computational number theory, complexity theory, computational biology, computational geometry, cryptology, data structures and information retrieval, parallel and distributed computing, pattern matching, quantum computing, theoretical foundations of data science and machine learning, unconventional models of computation.

SUBMISSION

Submissions are limited to fifteen (15) single-column letter-size pages in Springer LNCS format; see LNCS author guidelines at http://www.springer.com/la/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

This page limit includes figures and references, but it does not include an optional appendix. Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in the appendix, which will be read by the program committee members at their discretion. In particular, appendices of accepted papers are not going to be published in the proceedings. The main part of the submission should therefore contain a clear technical presentation of the merits of the paper, including a discussion of the paper's importance within the context of prior work and a description of the key technical and conceptual ideas used to achieve its main claims. The conference employs a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In particular, authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses should not appear at the beginning or in the body of the submission. Authors should ensure that any references to their own related work is in the third person (e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We build on the work of ..."). Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing the paper more difficult. In particular, references should not be omitted or anonymized.

Papers are submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=latin2026

The submissions will be open one month before the abstract submission due date. Submit your abstract via EasyChair, before the abstract submission deadline. For full paper submission the deadline is one week later than that of the abstract submission.

Simultaneous submission of papers to any other conference with published proceedings, as well as the submission of previously published papers, is not allowed. Papers must be written in

English. For each accepted paper at least one author must register and attend the symposium (in person) to present it. Moreover, an author cannot register for multiple papers. That is, each accepted paper must have its own registrant.

PROCEEDINGS

Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of LATIN, which will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (http://www.springer.com/la/computer-science/lncs). Accepted papers need to be presented in-person in order to appear in the proceedings of LATIN. There must be a full registration associated with every accepted paper (even if the speaker qualifies for a discounted registration).

JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE

We are arranging a journal special issue dedicated to selected papers of LATIN2026; an announcement is expected in October.

[DMANET] EuroVis 2026: Call for workshops - 1 Day left - Submit via PCS

EuroVis 2026: Call for Workshops - Final Reminder - PCS Submission Track Available

https://eurovis.org.uk/workshops/

We solicit workshops related to all areas of visualization. These informal workshops in EuroVis provide a setting for participants to discuss advanced topics in visualization, involve experts in the field, disseminate work in progress, and promote new ideas. Workshops at EuroVis are open to all registered attendees ("invitation only" workshops will not be approved).

Important Dates

* Proposal Submission: Monday, September 29, 2025
* Notification: Monday, October 13, 2025

All deadlines are at 11:59 pm (23:59) AoE Anywhere on Earth (AoE<https://time.is/Anywhere_on_Earth>)

Workshops should:

* Emphasize emerging ideas, concepts, or technologies that are currently too nascent or too interdisciplinary for a full symposium;
* Encourage information flow not solely from the presenters to the audience but rather engage the participation of all attendees, for example, through collective or small group discussions.

Possible topics may include emerging or persisting problems, developing research agendas, networking to find common interests and possibilities for cooperation, interacting with domain experts involving analysis of their domain problems, etc.
When choosing workshop topics to propose, please consider pre-approved workshops and try to avoid large overlaps:

* EGPGV
* EuroVA

Note that workshops remain extremely well attended, but as new associated events and publication formats are introduced to EuroVis, the number of submitted papers may drop from previous years. So, a more interactive format (rather than one based mainly on presentations of submitted papers) is encouraged.

Submission requirements

Workshop proposals should include:

* a title,
* the contact details of the organizers,
* a brief description of the organizers' background, related publications, and research,
* the planned activities (e.g., mainly talks, mainly interactive sessions, a mix), including an outline schedule for the program—workshops are strongly encouraged, though not required, to consider ways to engage all participants interactively,
* the intended result and impact of the workshop,
* a brief justification for why this workshop is necessary (e.g., why would the topic benefit from a more informal setting, in what ways is the topic emergent or a relatively poor fit for the main conference program, etc.),
* a chosen measure for a successful CFP (e.g., number of submissions), possibly including an outline for a "backup policy" (e.g., changing the workshop format or voluntarily withdrawing the workshop before acceptance notification is sent, but should not require the workshop organizers to submit emergency papers to their own workshop),
* a statement of the organization and the development of the list of participants (intended size, detailed selection procedures, and timeline for finalizing workshop presenters),
* a list of any special technology needed,
* the number of poster slots requested, if the workshop intends to feature posters, and
* the proposed dates for the call for participation, author notification, and camera-ready deadlines (author notification must be before the early registration deadline for EuroVis; for inclusion of materials in the EG digital library and/or the downloadable proceedings, the camera-ready deadline must be 4 weeks prior to the conference).

Because the number of workshop time slots is limited, half-day workshop proposals are strongly encouraged. However, well-justified full-day proposals will also be considered. Full-day proposals may optionally state what changes would be implemented to allow the workshop schedule to fit within a half day.

If the proposed workshop is a follow-up of a previous workshop, please include a critical reflection of the prior workshop(s), including a discussion of the results and evidence of impact.

The proposal should not exceed four pages. Please use the template file from https://www.eurovis2025.lu/fileadmin/files/egPublStyle-EuroVis_full-short-stars-posters-edu_2025.zip

Attendance

At least one author for each paper must register and attend the conference in person.

Evaluation criteria

The workshops aim to include various topics and a healthy mix of new and recurring events. Repeat submissions will be partially judged by the previous workshop's success. Workshop success will be judged subjectively, but popularity, research impact, visibility, and attendee feedback will all be considered. Specifically, the workshop proposals will be evaluated according to the following criteria:

* The potential for inspiring people, being influential, and opening new lines of research,
* The degree to which the workshop provides a more interactive environment for participants—all things being equal, preference will be given to workshops that emphasize participant interaction,
* The coherence of the proposed topic and the degree to which it would benefit from a workshop environment,
* The ability to attract people and make them excited about the workshop,
* The appropriateness with respect to EuroVis topics,
* If this workshop has special needs, the feasibility of the proposed plan, including financial, logistics, scheduling, and coordination impact, is also important.

The workshop chairs will balance the proposed topics to support the diversity of topics within EuroVis and complement the main program.

Organizers should consider what steps they will take to encourage diverse participants in their workshop (e.g., a balance of experience, background, gender, etc.) to make participation as inclusive as possible.

If accepted, workshops are required to prepare a short summary (50–100 words) for the workshop website and the web program.

Workshop Support

The workshop organizers will receive the following support from the EuroVis conference:

* One complimentary 1-day registration for an invited speaker,
* Room and AV support suitable for around 50 attendees,
* Food and beverages for attendees: coffee breaks throughout the day, Sunday evening opening reception, space in the poster display area, if requested (from a limited pool set aside for standard workshops; available space depends on the specifics of the venue; early requests given priority over late requests),
* PCS (Precision Conference Solutions) support for managing submissions and the review process,
* EuroGraphics Digital Library publication of the workshop proceedings, if requested (considered archival).

Note that each workshop participant will need to register to attend the EuroVis conference.

Workshop Chairs

* Angelos Chatzimparmpas, Utrecht University
* Guido Reina, Universität Stuttgart
* Cagatay Turkay, University of Warwick

[DMANET] [Scheduling seminar] Dan Hermelin (Ben Gurion Uni) | October 1 | Fairness in Repetitive Scheduling

Dear scheduling researcher,

We are delighted to announce the talk given by Dan Hermelin (Ben Gurion
Uni). The title is "Fairness in Repetitive Scheduling". The seminar will
take place on Zoom on Wednesday, October 1 at 13:00 UTC.
Join Zoom Meeting
https://cesnet.zoom.us/j/95495277409?pwd=9PgakxvN5aoKCnds1dnQRoPYcd7fl0.1
Meeting ID: 954 9527 7409
Passcode: 110425

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

The abstract follows.
It is by now well understood that fairness plays a key role in customer
satisfaction. Yet, there is still a lack of models that help
organizations make fair operational decisions, in particular when it
comes to scheduling customers' jobs. In this talk, I will present a
novel framework for fair decision-making in repetitive scheduling
environments. We study a setting with n clients, where in each of m
consecutive periods (e.g., days), every client submits a job to be
processed, and the scheduler must guarantee each client a minimum
quality of service (QoS). I will demonstrate how this framework can be
applied in different scheduling contexts and discuss some of the
algorithmic challenges it raises. Joint work with Dvir Shabtay, Michael
Pinedo, Rolf Niedermeier, Hendrik Molter, Klaus Heeger, and Danny Segev.

The next talk in our series will be:
Changhyun Kwon (KAIST/Omelet, Inc.) | October 1 | Learning-Based
Approaches to Combinatorial Optimization in Transportation

Previous events were held in Bilbao, Genova, Warsaw, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Guimarães, Luleå, Bournemouth, Bari, and Porto.

Deep learning is a branch of artificial intelligence covering a spectrum of current frontier research and industrial innovation that provides more efficient algorithms to deal with large-scale data in a huge variety of environments: computer vision, neurosciences, speech recognition, language processing, human-computer interaction, drug discovery, biomedicine and healthcare, medical image analysis, recommender systems, advertising, fraud detection, robotics, games, business and finance, biotechnology, physics and astrophysics, biometrics, communications, climate sciences, geographic information systems, signal processing, genomics, materials design, video technology, social systems, earth and sustainability, mathematical proofs, etc. etc.

The field is also raising a number of relevant questions about efficiency and robustness of the algorithms, explainability, transparency, interpretability, risks and safety, as well as important ethical concerns at the frontier of current knowledge that deserve careful multidisciplinary discussion.

Most deep learning subareas will be displayed and main challenges identified through 18 four-hour and a half courses, 2 keynote lectures, 1 round table, and a hackathon competition among participants. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Face to face interaction and networking will be main ingredients of the event. It will be also possible to fully participate in vivo remotely.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduates, postgraduates and industry practitioners will be typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisites for attendance in terms of academic degrees, hence people less or more advanced in their career will be welcome as well.
