[DMANET] [Scheduling seminar] Frits Spieksma (TU Eindhoven) | October 7 | Scheduling in the World of Sports.

Dear scheduling researcher, We are delighted to announce the talk given by Frits Spieksma (TU Eindhoven). The title is "Scheduling in the World of Sports". The seminar will take place on Zoom on Wednesday, October 7, at 13:00 UTC. Join Zoom Meeting https://cesnet.zoom.us/j/92480520441?pwd=jjZUiDxNEVvMe1kB9PzAoTQ4YZSvZn.1 Meeting ID: 924 8052 0441 Passcode: 795229 You can follow the seminar online or offline on our YouTube channel as well: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUoCNnaAfw5NAntItILFn4A The abstract follows. At first sight, the schedule of any particular league or tournament may look like a rather mundane matter. Indeed, it is obvious that one has to pick certain dates and times for a set of matches to be played. However, that is *not* all there is to it. There is a, sometimes subtle, relation between the schedule of a tournament and its outcome. Thus, the schedule of a tournament should be designed with care, ensuring that, among the interests of all other stakeholders, fairness among players (or teams), receives the attention it deserves. We will review examples that shed light on the relation between the schedule on the one hand, and the outcome on the other hand. From these examples, we extract analytical insights that allow us to construct fairer schedules. We intend to illustrate our findings by considering examples from leagues and tournaments from various sports. The next talk in our series will be Shunji Tanaka (Okayama University) | October 21 | Optimizing item stacking and retrieval.

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to invite you to submit a paper to the Invited Session "Digital Twins and Agentic AI for Sustainable Manufacturing and Logistics Systems" at the 21st IFAC Symposium on Information Control and Optimization in Manufacturing (INCOM 2027), Nantes, France, June 28-30, 2027. Conference website: https://hub.imt-atlantique.fr/incom2027/ The session is organized by IFAC TC 5.2 Working Group 9 "Digital Twins in Manufacturing and Logistics Systems". SCOPE Digital Twins (DTs) and Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) are rapidly converging paradigms reshaping how Manufacturing and Logistics (M&L) systems are monitored, controlled and managed. Integrated with DTs, intelligent agents can analyze real-time data, detect anomalies and proactively support decisions on scheduling, resource allocation, maintenance and logistics, keeping humans in the loop as final decision-makers. This integration is also a powerful lever for sustainable and human-centric M&L systems. This session invites original theoretical and applied contributions on the use of DTs and/or agentic AI for designing and managing sustainable, resilient and human-centric M&L systems. Case studies and industrial applications are particularly encouraged. TOPICS include, but are not limited to: - DT architectures, enabling technologies and conceptual frameworks - Multi-agent and LLM-based AI agents interacting with DT environments for human-in-the-loop decision support - Agentic AI for order acceptance, production planning, real-time scheduling, sequencing and operational control - DT-based simulation and optimization for flexible manufacturing, assembly line balancing and layout design - DT and agentic AI for energy-efficient, low-carbon and circular M&L systems - Monitoring, anomaly detection, predictive maintenance and prognostics - Warehousing, AGV/AMR fleets, intralogistics and resilient supply chains - Quality control, process monitoring and zero-defect manufacturing - Resilience: disruption detection, what-if analysis, risk assessment, reconfiguration and recovery - Human Digital Twin: ergonomics, workload, skills and well-being - Human-agent collaboration: task allocation, trust, acceptance and explainability - Data synchronization, validation and fidelity of DT models - Trustworthiness, robustness, safety and responsible use of DT and agentic AI-based decision support - Economic, environmental, social and organizational assessment of DT and agentic AI adoption - Case studies and industrial applications SUBMISSION Papers must be submitted via https://ifac.papercept.net/ (select INCOM 2027) as invited session papers using the invited session code: 3c9v3 Please follow the official IFAC instructions and two-column template.

WoWMoM workshops provide an opportunity to explore emerging, focused, interdisciplinary, and forward-looking research topics in an interactive setting. They are intended to complement the main conference program by creating a forum in which researchers and practitioners can present novel ideas, discuss early-stage results, identify new research challenges, and foster collaborations around rapidly evolving areas. We particularly encourage workshop proposals that address timely or emerging research directions, bring together communities that do not traditionally interact, or investigate visionary and potentially controversial topics related to wireless, mobile, and multimedia networking. Workshops should be designed to promote active participation and lively discussion. Organizers are therefore encouraged to consider formats including keynote talks, moderated discussions, and other interactive activities. Workshop proposals are welcome across the broad technical scope of IEEE WoWMoM, including, but not limited to, topics related to wireless and mobile networks, next-generation communication systems, edge and cloud networking, Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems, AI/ML-enabled networking, network intelligence and automation, mobile and pervasive computing, multimedia systems, network security and privacy, experimental networking, emerging applications, and interdisciplinary networking research. Accepted workshop papers will be published in dedicated workshops proceedings, separate from the IEEE WoWMoM 2027 main conference proceedings, and published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, indicating their affiliation with IEEE WoWMoM 2027. All accepted workshops are expected to follow a common paper format and review schedule. Workshop papers must use the standard two-column IEEE conference format and have a maximum length of 6 pages. Workshop Co-Chairs will work closely with the organizers of accepted workshops to coordinate the review process, maintain a high-quality technical program, and ensure that all accepted papers satisfy IEEE publication requirements. To be included in the conference proceedings, at least one author of each accepted workshop paper must register for IEEE WoWMoM 2027 at the applicable full conference registration rate, and the paper must be presented by one of its authors during the workshop. Through its workshop program, IEEE WoWMoM 2027 aims to provide a vibrant environment for launching new research directions, consolidating emerging communities, and stimulating discussions that may shape the future of wireless, mobile, and multimedia networking. Researchers interested in building such communities are strongly encouraged to submit a workshop proposal. Submission Guidelines Each workshop proposal must include at least the following: * Workshop title: The full name of the workshop and its intended acronym. * Organizers: The names and affiliations of the organizers (up to three, from at least two different institutions). * Description: A brief description (up to one page) of the technical issues that the workshop will address, and the reasons why the workshop is of interest to WoWMoM at this time. * Target community: A description of the communities or research groups the workshop intends to attract. * Program committee: The names and affiliations of at least ten prospective program committee members. * Format and schedule: The planned format of the workshop (full-day or half-day) as well as a tentative schedule that demonstrates the strategy to facilitate lively discussions and the involvement of attendees. * Invited speakers: The names of potential invited keynote speakers, if an invited talk is included in the planned format. * Past editions: If applicable, a description of past versions of the workshop, including dates, organizers, numbers of submitted and accepted papers, and number of attendees. * Tentative CFP: A tentative call for papers for the workshop. * Dissemination plan: A description of the planned activities for disseminating information about the workshop (e.g., publicizing CFPs) and the workshop website. Workshop proposals must be submitted in PDF format on or before November 16th, 2026 by e-mail to the IEEE WoWMoM 2027 Workshops Co-Chairs, using “WoWMoM2027 Workshop Proposal” as the subject line.
