==================
Call for Contributions
==================

40th European Workshop on Computational Geometry
March 13-15 2024, Ioannina, Greece
https://eurocg2024.math.uoi.gr/

EuroCG 2024 will be held March 13-15, 2024 in Ioannina, Greece. EuroCG is
an annual workshop that combines a strong scientific tradition with a
friendly and informal atmosphere. The workshop is a forum where established
researchers and students can meet, discuss their work, present their
results, and establish scientific collaborations.

===============
Important Dates
===============

Submission Deadline: January 10, 2024
Acceptance Notification: February 12, 2024
Early Registration ends: February 21, 2024
Camera-ready version: February 21, 2024
EuroCG 2024: March 13-15, 2024
All deadlines are 23:59 AoE.

===============
Invited speakers
===============

- Walter Didimo (University of Perugia, Italy)
- Ioannis Emiris (Athena Research Center / National & Kapodistrian
University of Athens, Greece)
- Xavier Goaoc (Université de Lorraine, Nancy, France)

===============
Topics of interest
===============

Topics of interest cover all aspects of computational geometry, including
but not limited to the following:

- discrete and combinatorial geometry and topology,
- design and analysis of geometric algorithms and data structures,
- implementation and experimental evaluation of geometric algorithms,
- numerical and algebraic issues arising from implementations,
- analysis of geometric configurations,
- geometric modeling, visualization and simulation,
- combinatorial optimization,
- graph drawing,
- structural molecular biology,
- geometric puzzle analysis,
- geographic information systems,
- robotics and virtual worlds, and
- computer-aided design and manufacturing.

===========
Submission
===========

We invite authors to submit extended abstracts of their original research.
Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX using a supplied class file, and not
be longer than 175 lines of text. Submissions will be handled through
EasyChair.

Authors must use the LaTeX class files eurocg24 and eurocg24-submission,
which are based on the LIPICS class file. These class files should
automatically count all lines containing text, excluding title and
references, and excluding figures. Authors are expected to make reasonable
effort to make sure all lines that contain text are counted: the class file
should be considered an aid, and the responsibility of correctly counting
lines remains with the authors. A zip file containing an example of how to
use the class file can be found here.

Your submission should provide a clear statement of your results including
proofs. The main (175 line) body of your submission should be
self-contained and contain a clear and succinct description of your
results. Content that does not fit in the main body due to space
restrictions must be placed into a clearly marked appendix, which will only
be read at the discretion of the program committee.

================
Acceptance Policy
================

EuroCG is a non-competitive forum. We will accept all submissions which are
original, correct, well-presented, non-trivial, and in scope. The program
committee judges submissions on these five criteria, each of which can lead
to rejection. If a submission satisfies all criteria, then it will be
accepted: there is no competition against other submissions.

- Originality. If a submission does not contain original research by the
authors, or if there is good reason to believe this is the case, this is a
reason for rejection. We do not accept submissions which have already been
accepted for publication elsewhere. However, we do explicitly allow
submissions that are under review at another conference or journal (at the
time of submission to EuroCG).

- Correctness. If the main / a major result of a submission is not correct,
this is a reason for rejection. If an attentive reviewer cannot establish
correctness of the results from the content of the submission, this is a
reason for rejection. However, an acceptance at EuroCG is no correctness
guarantee.

- Presentation. If a submission is written in a way that makes it
unreadable, or it does not follow the submission guidelines as listed in
the call for contributions, this is a reason for rejection.

- Technical Depth. If a submission is trivial, this is a reason for
rejection. However, there is no "minimum level" of technical depth required.

- Scope. If a submission is out of scope, this is a reason for rejection.
However, we wish to be inclusive in our interpretation of scope, which
includes but is not limited to the list of topics in the call for
contributions.

============
Proceedings
============

EuroCG does not have formally reviewed proceedings. A booklet of abstracts,
without ISBN, will be accessible online on the website for the benefit of
the community and must be regarded as a collection of preprints rather than
a formally reviewed selection of papers. Results presented at EuroCG are
expected to appear in other conferences with formal proceedings and/or in
journals. In particular, papers that have been submitted to other formally
reviewed conferences are eligible for presentation at EuroCG, assuming they
have not been presented at a conference or published in a journal by the
time of the conference. Authors of selected papers will be invited to
submit extended versions to a special issue of the Computational Geometry
Theory and Applications (CGTA) journal.

Authors of accepted submissions are expected to present their work at the
conference (in-person). Failure to do so, may result in removal of the
contribution from the booklet of abstracts and conference website.

There will also be a voting for the Best Student Presentation.

[DMANET] Call for Applications: Berlin Mathematical School (BMS) – Get Your Math PhD in Berlin

Dear DMANET Community,

The application for the BMS program is open and we kindly ask you to forward our call for applications to your colleagues and students all around the world.

Berlin Mathematical School (BMS) – Get Your Math PhD in Berlin

The Berlin Mathematical School is the graduate school of the Cluster of Excellence MATH+ (http://www.mathplus.de <http://www.mathplus.de/>) and a joint endeavor of the mathematics departments at the universities in Berlin: Freie Universität (FU), Humboldt-Universität (HU) and Technische Universität (TU).

We offer an excellent doctoral program taught in English in a broad and active research environment together with mentoring programs, language courses, soft-skills seminars, funding for summer schools and conferences, a buddy program and funding for students with children.

"Mathematics as a whole" is a leading principle of the BMS. Its focus encompasses fields that are traditionally termed "pure" or "applied" mathematics, though we prefer not to make that distinction. Instead, research topics are grouped into eight parts, each covering a broad, but coherent, part of mathematics:

1. Differential geometry, global analysis, and mathematical physics
2. Algebraic and arithmetic geometry, number theory
3. Stochastics and mathematical finance
4. Discrete mathematics and optimization
5. Geometry, topology, and visualization
6. Numerical analysis and scientific computing
7. Applied analysis and differential equations
8. Mathematics of data science

For applicants with a Bachelor, Phase I offers a basic graduate phase of 3-4 semesters completed by a qualifying exam. Phase II is the research phase and open to candidates with a Master's degree. It lasts 4-6 semesters in which candidates conduct specialized research and attend at least one advanced course per semester.

All you need to know about applying to the BMS is available online:
http://www.math-berlin.de/images/guidelines/BMS_PhD_Application_Guidelines.pdf <http://www.math-berlin.de/images/guidelines/BMS_PhD_Application_Guidelines.pdf>

You can apply at: http://www.math-berlin.de/application

Application Deadlines
The first round application deadline of 1 December 2023 is for
- Phase I applicants requiring admission with scholarship
- Phase II who want to start before August 2024.

The second round application deadline of 1 April 2024 is for
- Phase I applicants requiring admission only
- Phase II applicants who want to start in August, September or October 2024.

[DMANET] Call for nominations: 2023 Victor Lesser Distinguished Dissertation Award

Call for nominations: 2023 Victor Lesser Distinguished Dissertation Award

IFAAMAS, the International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and
Multiagent Systems, is pleased to announce the call for the 2023
Victor Lesser Distinguished Dissertation Award.

The award is named after Professor Victor Lesser, a long-standing
member of the AAMAS community who has supervised a large number of
outstanding PhD students in the area. It is awarded for dissertations
written as part of a PhD, defended in the specified period, and
nominated by the supervisor (with supporting references), which show
originality, significance and impact, and are supported by high
quality publications.

Nominations are invited for the award which is sponsored by IFAAMAS
and will be presented at AAMAS-2024.

Eligible doctoral dissertations are those defended between October 1,
2022 and September 30, 2023 (both endpoints included) in the area of
Autonomous Agents or Multiagent Systems.

The award includes a certificate and a 1500 EUR payment.

Important Dates:
Submission deadline: Oct 31th, 2023

Selection procedure:
The selection of the dissertation will be based on the originality,
significance, and impact of the work. Evidence of such impact includes
publications at highly selective conferences and journals in the
field, with due importance given to the AAMAS conference series and
JAAMAS. Research output that resulted primarily from the student's
initiative will be considered more favourably.

The selection committee will be the final arbiter in the decision
process. The selection committee might also decide to consult external
assessors, and reserves the right to not award the prize if the
nominations do not meet the expected quality level.

Every submitted dissertation must be nominated by the thesis
supervisor and must be supported by the following 4 (four) documents,
all of which should be delivered via the (Google Form) link below by
Oct 31th, 2023:

a) A link to a PDF file of the dissertation. If the dissertation is
not written in English, the nomination must include an accessible link
to a substantial manuscript in English, with the nominee as the first
author, published in a peer-reviewed journal or conference.

b) A PDF that contains a list of publications that have arisen from
the dissertation, with links to the published papers.

c) A recommendation from the dissertation supervisor, on departmental
letterhead, nominating the dissertation for the 2023 Victor Lesser
Distinguished Dissertation Award. The recommendation should explain
the contribution of the dissertation to the field of autonomous agents
and multiagent systems, argue the merit and possible future impact of
the work, and highlight, where relevant, how the work resulted from
the initiative of the student. Finally, this document should certify
the eligibility of the PhD by asserting that the PhD was successfully
defended between October 1st, 2022 and September 30th, 2023.

d) A PDF with the names, email addresses, and affiliations of at least
one and at most three referees, familiar with the research of the
candidate and experts in the pertinent research area, who will
directly email their recommendations for the candidate to the chair of
the selection committee (Svetlana Obraztsova,
svetlanaobraztsova@cunet.carleton.ca). A reference letter should be no
more than 500 words in length and should be on an official letterhead,
signed and emailed as a PDF file. To ease the recovery of these
emails, it is recommended that the subject of the recommendation
letter email should be "2023 Victor Lesser Award: Recommendation:
<name of the candidate>"

Note: it is the responsibility of the dissertation supervisor to
contact the referees and ensure that letters (max 500 words, signed,
and on letterhead) are submitted by the deadline.

Though the nomination is to be submitted by the nominee's dissertation
supervisor, it is required that the nominee has consented that the
dissertation be considered for this award and, if selected for the
award, commits to attend the AAMAS-2024 conference, where they will
receive the award and will give a presentation on the work contained
in the dissertation at a special session of the conference. The cost
of attending the conference is not covered by the award.

[DMANET] Third edition of the Workshop Metabolism and mathematical models: Two for a tango

Dear all,

This is the first announcement for the 3rd Edition of the workshop "Metabolism and
mathematical models: Two for a tango" that will take place on November 14-15, 2023.
The workshop will be virtual as was the case for the 1st and 2nd Editions.

The topic of the workshop is metabolism in general. As in the previous cases, a special
- but not exclusive! - focus will be placed on parasitology. Besides an exploration of the
biological, biochemical and biomedical aspects of metabolism, the workshop will also aim
at presenting some of the mathematical modelling, algorithmic theory and software
development that have become crucial to explore such aspects.

More details will be provided soon but initial information may be already found on
this page:
https://team.inria.fr/erable/en/events/workshop-metabolism-and-mathematical-models-two-for-a-tango-3rd-edition/.

As you can see, we'll be very happy to have six Keynote speakers:

Barbara Bakker (Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Groningen, The Netherlands)
Igor Cestari (Institute of Parasitology, McGill University, Montréal, Canada)
Vassily Hatzimanikatis (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland)
Steffen Klamt (Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems, Magdeburg, Germany)
Ina Koch (Goethe Universität, Frankfurt am Main, Germany)
Laura-Isobel McCall (San Diego State University, US)

Besides the talks given by the above Keynote speakers, there will be two sessions,
one per day, of 30 minutes each, dedicated to a discussion of some specific open
questions. More details on these will be provided very soon.

The workshop will take place in the afternoons, from 2pm to 5:30pm CET time.

Registration is free but is required. To register, go to this link:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/workshop-metabolism-and-mathematical-models-two-for-a-tango-3rd-edition-tickets-721094622427?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl.

If you are interested, keep tuned, both to your mails for the second announcement
with all information, and to the web page of the workshop.

Do not hesitate to spread the news widely among your colleagues and to post the
announcement in lists you may know.

Cheers from the organisers,
