[DMANET] [PhD Opening at Utrecht University] PhD in Visual Analytics for Explainable Visual Rehabilitation

Dear colleagues,


We are hiring a fully funded PhD Student at Utrecht University, NL!


Do you want to develop a Visual Analytics solution to help therapists monitor the rehabilitation of visually impaired patients? This PhD project is for you!


In this PhD project, several teams (clinical centers, serious game developers, and academic institutions) combine their multidisciplinary skills to create and deploy a solution for rehabilitating patients having visual impairments by offering them training scenarios using a virtual reality (VR) setup.


As PhD candidate in this project, you will conduct independent, high-quality research resulting in a doctoral dissertation. Your research will focus on designing a Visual Analytics solution to analyse data from rehabilitating patients with hemianopsia (partial blindness). With the support of explainable AI models, you will develop Visual Analytics dashboards for exploring complex data recorded from the training patients including eye tracking, task progress, and success rates. By quantifying model uncertainty, these dashboards will enable therapists to monitor and improve patients' visual rehabilitation progress. You will collaborate with a diverse project team of academics, clinicians, and software developers to realize the goals of the project.


Do you want to know more and apply? Follow the link below:


https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/working-at-utrecht-university/jobs/phd-in-visual-analytics-for-explainable-visual-rehabilitation


The application deadline is 15 November 2024.


For more information, please contact Dr. Chatzimparmpas at a.chatzimparmpas@uu.nl<mailto:a.chatzimparmpas@uu.nl>.


With best regards,

[DMANET] [CFP] 5th workshop on Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS’25)

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Fifth Workshop on
Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS'25)
<https://sites.google.com/view/hccs25/home>, which will be co-located with
the 23rd IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and
Communications (PerCom'25) <https://www.percom.org/>in Washington DC, USA,
from March 17-21, 2025.

The fifth edition of the Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS'25)
workshop aims to advance and promote research on how unobtrusive
observations of human cognitive, behavioral, physiological, and contextual
data are increasingly enabling innovative computing experiences. The
workshop will also foster discussions about the societal implications of
computational sensing. Traditionally, sensors have been understood narrowly
as devices that capture physiological measurements, often through
wearables. This workshop adopts a broader, human-centric perspective,
envisioning sensing as time-evolving measurable data directly linked to
individuals and their communities. With this approach, sensing encompasses
human reactions and interactions observed through spoken, written, or
signed language, eye gaze, facial and bodily expressions, social networks,
geospatial patterns, and other forms of human-generated data. Advances in
multimodal human data acquisition and fusion have the potential to
significantly impact all areas of human life, including productivity,
health and well-being, training and education, human-computer interaction,
accessibility, safety and security, as well as gaming, sports, and
entertainment.

Relevant topics include but are not limited to:

- Context-Aware Sensing for Adaptive Learning Environments
- Emotion Recognition through Physiological and Behavioral Signals
- Personalized Well-being Applications using Continuous Sensing
- Smart Workplaces through Behavioral Sensing
- Human Activity Recognition in Unstructured Environments
- Emotion-Adaptive Interfaces for Human-Computer Interaction
- Geospatial Behavior Analysis for Urban Planning
- Fusion of multifaceted, heterogeneous, and/or incommensurable human
sensing data
- Localization and proximity-detection systems
- AI-empowered mobile sensing systems
- Generative AI for synthetic sensor data generation and evaluation
- User acceptance, quality of experience, and social impact studies
- Accessibility of human sensing technologies
- New interventions acting on human-centered computational sensing
- Experimental analysis with human sensing data from real-world
applications
- Human-centered sensing for healthcare, industry, social goods and all
possible application domains
- Experiences and lessons learned from research projects focused on
human-centered computational sensing
- Privacy and ethical considerations for human-centered computational
sensing, including gender equality.

*Organizers will consider the possibility of inviting authors of selected
papers accepted to HCCS'25 to submit an extended work to a Special Issue of
an international journal.*

*Submission and Registration*:
Authors are invited to submit technical or theoretical papers for
presentation at the workshop, describing original, previously unpublished
work, which is not currently under review by another workshop, conference,

[DMANET] Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) 25 Call for Proposals

Dear Colleagues,

we are happy to announce that the call for proposals for Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) 25 is live.

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

CALL FOR PAPERS

Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing

PASC25

FHNW Campus Brugg-Windisch
Windisch, Switzerland

16-18 Jun 2025

https://pasc25.pasc-conference.org<https://pasc25.pasc-conference.org/>

Deadline: 06 Dec 2024 (no extensions)

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

The Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) invites research paper submissions for PASC25, co-sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS). PASC25 will be held from June 16 to 18, 2025, at FHNW Campus Brugg-Windisch, Switzerland. The guidelines for submissions are published at https://pasc25.pasc-conference.org/submission/guidelines-for-papers/.

The PASC Conference series is an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of knowledge in scientific computing and computational science with a strong focus on methods, tools, algorithms, workflows, application challenges, and novel techniques in the context of scientific usage of high performance computing.

The technical program of PASC25 is organized around the following scientific domains:

* Chemistry and Materials (incl. ceramics, metals, and polymers)
* Climate, Weather, and Earth Sciences (incl. solid earth dynamics)
* Applied Social Sciences and Humanities (incl. behavioral, economic, legal, political and business sciences, philosophy, languages, the arts, ethics in computing including climate impact of HPC, biases in machine learning, etc.)
* Engineering (incl. CFD, computational mechanics, computational engineering and materials, turbulent flow)
* Life Sciences (incl. biophysics, genomics, bioinformatics, systems biology, neuroscience, and computational biology)
* Physics (incl. astrophysics, cosmology, plasma modelling, and quantum information sciences)
* Computational Methods and Applied Mathematics

PASC25 solicits high-quality contributions of original research related to scientific computing in all of these domains. Proposals that emphasize the theme of PASC25 - "Supercomputing for Sustainable Development" - are particularly welcome.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Extreme scalable methods in computational science and engineering, such as algorithms and software for scalable multi-scale, multi-physics, and high-fidelity computational science and engineering problems.
* Numerical methods, algorithms, or large-scale simulations in computational fluid dynamics, computational mechanics, computational engineering materials, turbulent flow, and computational cosmology.
* Effective use of advanced computing systems for large-scale scientific applications, including modern multi- and many-core CPUs and accelerators with deep memory hierarchies, and energy-efficient architectures.
* Best practices and tools for productive and sustainable scientific and engineering software development.
* The integration of large-scale experimental and observational scientific data and high-performance data analytics and computing.
* Reproducibility for computational science and engineering.
* Verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification.
* Domain specific languages; toolchains for source-to-source translation/adaption.
* Runtime systems and middleware, such as task- and data-driven computation on heterogeneous architectures.
* Algorithms and strategies for effective use of machine learning, deep learning or AI to accelerate computational science.
* Machine learning / AI in the context of large parallel HPC applications, data sets or workflows.
* Unstructured vs. structured meshes for computational science applications at exascale
* Numerical algorithm development for post-exascale computing, including, but not limited to, communication avoiding algorithms, use of reduced or mixed precision, and integration of scalable numerical libraries in application software.
* Computational approaches for social sciences such as finance, urban planning, mobility or disaster response.

Papers accepted for PASC25 will be presented as talks, and published in the Proceedings of the PASC Conference, accessible via the ACM Digital Library. A selection of the highest quality papers may be given the opportunity of a plenary presentation. In selecting papers for plenary presentation, the Papers Committee will place particular weight on impact, interdisciplinarity and interest to a broad audience.

The goal of the PASC Conference Papers Program is to advance the quality of scientific communication between the various disciplines of computational science and engineering in the context of HPC. The program was built from an observation that the computer science community traditionally publishes in the proceedings of major international conferences, while domain science communities publish primarily in disciplinary journals - and neither of which is read regularly by the other. The PASC Conference provides a unique venue that enables interdisciplinary exchange in a manner that bridges the two scientific publishing cultures.

The Proceedings of the PASC Conference (PASC25) are published in the Association for Computing Machinery's (ACM's) Digital Library. In recognition of the high quality of the PASC Conference papers track, the ACM continues to provide the proceedings as an Open Table of Contents (OpenTOC). This means that the definitive versions of PASC Conference papers are available to everyone at no charge to the author and without any pay-wall constraints for readers.

SUBMISSION AND REVIEW

The PASC25 Papers Program Committee is responsible for the paper evaluation process. The committee is chaired by Sally Ellingson (University of Kentucky, US), and (Xiaoye) Sherry Li (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, US), and comprises of domain co-chairs and committee members who are specialists in their scientific fields. Papers will be evaluated by reviewers in the PASC25 papers committee on their significance, technical soundness, originality, and quality of communication.

We employ a rigorous academic peer-review process: most notably, we allow the possibility for provisional acceptance (revision and author rebuttal). Committee reviewers are solicited for each submission, with additional external reviewers where needed. The paper selection process thus combines the strengths of conference and journal publication schemes to provide an effective, high-impact publication venue in large-scale computational science.

Contributions must be submitted through the PASC Conference online submission portal (https://submissions.pasc-conference.org<https://submissions.pasc-conference.org/>). Submissions should include the following:

* Title: Maximum 20 words.
* Scientific Domain: Select a primary and optionally secondary scientific domain(s).
* Author details: Full names and contact details of author(s).
* Short Abstract: Maximum 250 words.
* Paper:
- First Stage: Maximum 10 pages including figures, tables, and appendices; but excl. references.
- Second Stage: In the revision phase, an extra page will be granted for the final paper to accommodate review requests.

Papers must be submitted in the current ACM Article Template (sigconf proceedings) format [1].

The PASC Conference highly encourages authors to follow reproducible science principles(https://opensciencemooc.eu/modules/reproducible-research-and-data-analysis/) for their submissions, to counter the reproducibility crisis in scientific publishing and increase the community value of computational research papers.

[DMANET] [Submission deadline approaching - Oct 1] [iSCI-2024] The 12th IEEE International Conference on Smart City and Informatization

Dear Professors/Scholars/Researchers,

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this iSCI
2024 Call for Papers (CFPs) with Deadline (October 1, 2024).

*The 12th IEEE International Conference on Smart*

*City and Informatization (iSCI-2024)*

*Sanya, Hainan, China, 17-21 December 2024*

*http://ieee-aiplus.org/2024/isci/*

*INTRODUCTION*

The smart city is a modern urban sustainable development concept and
practice based on digital, networked and intelligent information and
communication technology facilities, with social, environmental and
management as the core elements, and ubiquitous, green and beneficial to
the people as the main features. It is a strategic cognition of the
scientific development of modern cities and a specific method to respond
wisely, another innovative top-level design for the future scientific
development of cities, and an integration and sublimation of previous urban
development concepts.

Smart cities are both intrinsically linked to and have their own
characteristics in relation to city informatisation, digital cities,
knowledge cities and creative cities. In contrast to city informatisation,
the smart city does not only stay at the level of information technology,
but also integrates technology into urbanisation, focusing on citizen
participation, social management, natural resource utilisation and quality
of life improvement in the process of urbanisation, and developing the
information systems formed in informatisation into an omnipresent and
interactive sensory network.

The 12th IEEE International Conference on Smart City and Informatization
(iSCI-2024) aims to provide a unique platform for multi-disciplinary
researchers and teams, industry solution vendors, and government agencies
to exchange innovative ideas, challenges, research results and solutions,
as well as project experience reports and successful stories.

Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to iSCI-2024. Accepted
papers will be submitted for possible inclusion into IEEE Xplore subject to
meeting IEEE Xplore's scope and quality requirements. The authors of
selected best papers will be invited post conference to extend their
contributions for special issues of prestigious journals to be planned in
conjunction with the conference.

[DMANET] PhD position in Neurosymbolic Algorithmics at TU Wien, Vienna, Austria

Dear Colleagues,

Within the new Cluster of Excellence "Bilateral AI" (https://www.bilateral-ai.net/), we seek to fill a 4-year PhD position.

The successful candidate will work on integrating symbolic computational reasoning techniques (such as SAT, MaxSAT, #SAT, QBF, and CP) with cutting-edge machine learning approaches, including generative methods like transformer models and predictive techniques like reinforcement learning. The goal is to develop algorithms that surpass traditional methods in efficiency. The ideal candidate has a strong background in both areas (symbolic and subsymbolic techniques). However, we will also consider candidates with a strong background in one area who are willing to gain expertise in the other. Excellent programming skills in languages such as Python and the ability to design efficient algorithms are required.

Detailed information on the position and on how to apply can be found here:
https://www.vcla.at/2024/08/open-positions-cluster-of-excellence/#szeider

Informal inquiries about the position are welcome and should be sent directly to Stefan Szeider.

Best regards,
Stefan Szeider
