[DMANET] STACS 2027 - First Call for Papers

The 44th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2027) is planned to take place from March 8th to March 12th in Göttingen, Germany (https://stacs2027.uni-goettingen.de/). STACS 2027 will consist of two tracks, A and B. Track A (PC-chairs: Paweł Gawrychowski, Meirav Zehavi ) focuses on algorithms, data structures, and complexity, while track B (PC-Chairs: Laurent Bienvenu, Florin Manea) focuses on automata, logic, semantics, and theory of programming. Important Dates and Submission Information: Submission deadline: 11 September 2026, 23:59 AoE Rebuttal: 30 November - 2 December 2026 Notification: 22 December 2026 Conference: 8 - 12 March 2027 Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research on theoretical aspects of computer science. Topics covered by the tracks include, but are not limited to, the following: Track A. Algorithms, Data Structures, and Complexity Design of algorithms Approximation algorithms Online algorithms Distributed/parallel algorithms Parameterized algorithms Randomized algorithms Analysis of algorithms Combinatorics of data structures Computational geometry Cryptography Algorithms for machine learning Algorithmic game theory Quantum algorithms Computational and structural complexity theory Parameterized complexity Randomness in computation Track B. Automata, Logic, Semantics and Theory of Programming Automata theory Games and multi-agent systems Algebraic and categorical methods Models of computation Concurrency Timed systems Finite model theory Database theory Semantics Type systems Program analysis Specification and verification Rewriting and deduction Learning theory Logical aspects of computability and complexity Format of submissions Submissions should be made through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=stacs2027 Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or a full paper with at most 15 pages; this page limit excludes the title page, the references section, and a possible appendix. The title page should contain the title of the paper and the abstract, but no author information. The first section of the paper should start on the next page, and the appendix, if any, should also start on the next page after the bibliography. In preparing submissions, the usage of the LIPIcs style file is mandatory; no changes to font size, page geometry, etc. are permitted. Please refer to LIPIcs author instructions. Submissions submitted after the deadline will not be considered, and submissions not adhering to the expected format risk rejection without consideration of the content. Submissions should be made to appropriate tracks. The PCs reserve the right to reassign a paper to a different track, if deemed necessary. The extended abstract should contain a succinct statement of the considered issues and of their motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of their significance, accessible to non-specialist readers. This should be followed by a rigorous derivation of the claimed results. Proofs omitted due to space constraints should be put into an appendix, to be read by the program committee members at their discretion. It is allowed and encouraged to provide the anonymized full version of the paper as the appendix. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings or to journals is not allowed. PC members are allowed to submit their works as well, except for PC chairs. Double-blind reviewing: As in the previous years, STACS 2027 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process: submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. The purpose of the double-blind reviewing is to help PC members and external reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. 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, important references should not be omitted or anonymized. In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For example, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web, submit them to arXiv, and give talks on their research ideas. Rebuttal: There will be a rebuttal period for authors. Authors will receive the reviews of their submissions and have a few days to prepare and submit rebuttals. These rebuttals become part of the PC discussions, but entail no specific responses. Rebuttals will be handled through EasyChair. Conference: At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register at the conference. For authors who cannot present their paper in person, a possibility for remote presentation will be offered. ********************************************************** * * Contributions to be spread via DMANET are submitted to * * DMANET@zpr.uni-koeln.de * * Replies to a message carried on DMANET should NOT be * addressed to DMANET but to the original sender.

[DMANET] WAOA 2026 - Extended submission deadline (New deadline: July 2nd)

======================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS - WAOA 2026 Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms L'Aquila, Italy, Sept 3-4, 2026 https://algo-conference.org/2026/waoa/ ======================================================================== Approximation and online algorithms are fundamental tools to deal with computationally hard problems and problems in which the input is gradually disclosed over time. Both types of problems arise from a myriad of applications in various fields. The Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms (WAOA) focuses on the design and analysis of approximation and online algorithms. WAOA 2026 is co-located with ALGO 2026, which will be held at the University of L'Aquila in L'Aquila, Italy. IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ New paper submission deadline: July 2, 2026, 23:59 AoE (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=waoa2026) Notification: August 4, 2026 Camera-ready version: August 15, 2026 Conference: September 3-4, 2026 INVITED SPEAKER ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Standa Živný, University of Oxford TOPICS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Papers are solicited in all research areas related to approximation and online algorithms, including, but not limited to: * Algorithmic game theory * Coloring and partitioning * Computational economics and mechanism design * Experimental methods for approximation and online algorithms * FPT-approximation algorithms * Geometric problems * Graph algorithms and network design * Inapproximability results * Packing and covering * Matroids and submodular functions * New paradigms in approximation and online optimization * Online selection problems * Resource augmentation * Relaxations and tightness of formulations * Robust and stochastic problems * Scheduling problems SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at most 10 pages, excluding the title page, references, and an optional appendix. The submission should be typeset using a 10-point or larger font in a single-column format and 2cm margins all around on A4-size paper. The appendix must contain all omitted proofs or, alternatively, a full version of the paper. The appendix will be read by the program committee at their discretion but will not be included in the published proceedings. The central 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. Results previously published (or scheduled for publication) in another conference proceedings or journal will not be accepted. Simultaneous submission to journals or other conferences with published proceedings is not permitted. By submitting a paper, the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance, at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2026, attend the conference onsite and present the paper. The program committee may award a Best Paper Award to one of the accepted papers. Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system. (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=waoa2026) DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEWING ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The conference will employ 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., "We build on the work of ..." instead of "We build on our previous work ..."). The purpose of the double-blind reviewing is to help PC members and external reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or hinders the reviewing process. In particular, important references should not be omitted or anonymized. Authors should feel free to disseminate their ideas (e.g., via talks) or draft versions of their paper (e.g., on arXiv or other repositories). COI WITH PC MEMBERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ At submission, authors will be asked to indicate a Conflict of Interest (COI) with members of the program committee. A COI is limited to the following categories: * A family member or close friend. * Ph.D. advisor or advisee (no time limit), or postdoc or undergraduate mentor or mentee within the past 5 years. * A person with the same affiliation. * A person involved in an alleged incident of harassment. (It is not required that the incident is reported.) * A PC member who owes the author a favor (e.g., who recently requested a reference letter). * A frequent or recent collaborator (within the last 5 years) who you believe cannot objectively review your work. Submissions authored or co-authored by members of the program committee are allowed but will be subject to a stricter review process. PROCEEDINGS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The WAOA 2026 proceedings will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. A subset of the accepted articles might be invited for a special issue of Acta Informatica.

[DMANET] FMEC 2026: The IEEE co-sponsored 11th International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing, 15 - 18 September 2026 | Abu Dhabi, UAE

[Apologies if you got multiple copies of this invitation] The 11th International Conference on Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC 2026) https://emergingtechnet.org/FMEC2026/ 15 - 18 September 2026 | Abu Dhabi, UAE Hybrid Event and Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE UAE Section *FMEC 2026 CFP:* Cloud computing provides a large range of services and virtually unlimited available resources for users. New applications, such as virtual reality and smart building control, have emerged due to the large number of resources and services brought by cloud computing. However, the delay-sensitive applications face the problem of large latency, especially when several smart devices and objects are getting involved in human’s life such as the case of smart cities or Internet of Things. Therefore, cloud computing is unable to meet the requirements of low latency, location awareness, and mobility support. To solve this problem, researchers have introduced a trusted and dependable solution through the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC) to put the services and resources of the cloud closer to users, which facilitate the leveraging of available services and resources in the edge networks. By this, we are moving from the core (cloud data centers) to the edge of the network closer to the users. FMEC dependability is based on providing user centric service. The purpose of Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing is to run the heavy real-time applications at the network edge directly using the billions of connected mobile devices. Several features enable the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing to be a perfect paradigm to the aforementioned purpose, which are the dense geographical deployment of servers, supporting mobility and the closeness to users. As in every new technology, some challenges face the vision of the Fog and the Mobile Edge Computing, which are the administrative policies and security concerns (i.e. secure data storage, secure computation, network security, data privacy, usage privacy, location privacy, etc). FMEC 2026 conference aims to investigate the opportunities and requirements for Mobile Edge Computing dominance. In addition, it seeks for novel contributions that help mitigate Mobile Edge Computing challenges. That is, the objective of FMEC 2026 is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to discuss and exchange new ideas, novel results and experience on all aspects of Fog and Mobile Edge Computing (FMEC).

There are three types of submissions to ACDA: archival Proceedings Papers, non-archival Extended Abstracts, and Posters. Each accepted submission of archival proceedings papers and non-archival extended abstracts will have an oral presentation. *Archival proceedings papers* Submissions may be up to 12 pages in length, excluding references, and must present original research that is not published or submitted elsewhere. Due dates for submissions are included below. The submissions will be refereed and authors will be provided an opportunity to respond to the reviews. Notification of acceptance or rejection with final camera-ready copy will be provided a few weeks later. Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings published by SIAM. Submissions should use the LaTeX macros at the web page: http://www.siam.org/proceedings/macros.php. An author of an accepted proceedings paper will be expected to register and present the paper at the ACDA25 conference. Authors may, at their option, include an appendix containing proofs, details, or additional experimental results. The appendix will be read by the program committee members at their discretion and will not be included 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 significance within the context of prior work and a description of the key technical and conceptual ideas used to achieve its main claims. All accepted proceedings papers must use the double-column LaTeX macro at the bottom of the following web page: https://www.siam.org/publications/proceedings/ *Double-blind reviewing of archival proceedings papers: *ACDA will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process for proceedings papers (but not for the other two submission categories). Proceedings submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. Please refer to the ACDA website ( https://www.siam.org/conferences-events/siam-conferences/acda27/submissions/) for more details. Authors with further questions on double-blind reviewing are encouraged to contact the PC chairs. We strongly encourage also making code and data available; please keep in mind the double-blind nature of the review process. We recommend including a link to an anonymized version that makes a 'best-effort' to avoid revealing the identity of the authors (e.g., using Anonymous Github or an anonymous Dropbox/Google Drive folder). *Non-Archival Extended Abstracts* These submissions are 2-page extended abstracts, are not considered for archival publications, and will not appear in the proceedings. The primary criterion for review will be broad interest to the ACDA community. Reviews of extended abstracts will *not* be double-blind. Authors will be asked to indicate whether they want to be considered for a talk only, considered for a poster only, or considered for either. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection after review. Rejected extended abstracts will be considered for a poster presentation, unless the author specifies "talk only". Submissions should use the LaTeX macros at the web page: http://www.siam.org/proceedings/macros.php. An author of an accepted abstract will be expected to register and present at ACDA25. Talks for extended abstracts will be of the same length as talks for proceedings papers. ACDA seeks to cast a wide net for extended abstracts, emphasizing talks that are closely connected to applications. Abstracts may describe work in progress or work of interest to the ACDA community that is being published archivally elsewhere. An abstract should specify the source of the problem it describes: Is it from a paper in the literature? A newly invented problem? From a project or person (in academia, labs, industry) that will use the results in practice? Will the community have access to real or surrogate data for the problem? ACDA welcomes all abstracts, but there will be a preference for work that is motivated by specific real-world problems. ACDA is particularly interested in descriptions of industrial problems and applications. *Posters* A poster submission is in the form of a 2-page (maximum) abstract. Posters are not considered archival, and reviewing of posters will *not* be double-blind. Authors will be asked to indicate whether they want to be considered for a talk only, considered for a poster only, or considered for either. ********************************************************** * * Contributions to be spread via DMANET are submitted to * * DMANET@zpr.uni-koeln.de * * Replies to a message carried on DMANET should NOT be * addressed to DMANET but to the original sender.

[DMANET] [CFP]: IOI-2026, The 6th International Conference on Internet of Intelligence, UK, 26-28 October 2026

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ************************* IOI-2026 Call for Papers********************** The 6th International Conference on Internet of Intelligence (IOI-2026) https://hpcn.exeter.ac.uk/ioi2026 Exeter, UK, 26-28 October 2026 INTRODUCTION ============= The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI), next-generation networking, edge/cloud computing, and smart devices is giving rise to a transformative paradigm: the Internet of Intelligence (IOI). In this paradigm, intelligence is no longer confined to isolated models or systems, but is distributed, connected, and continuously coordinated across humans, machines, networks, services, and applications. This transformation is enabling a broad range of emerging applications and industrial sectors, including smart manufacturing, autonomous transportation, digital healthcare, immersive communications, robotics, and cyber-physical systems. Data, models, knowledge, and intelligence generated across these interconnected ecosystems are becoming critical assets for improving system efficiency, service quality, resilience, adaptability, and user experience. However, how to effectively orchestrate, share, and trust intelligence over highly distributed and heterogeneous environments remains a fundamental research challenge. It has attracted growing interest from both academia and industry, yet significant innovations are still needed to realise a scalable, secure, efficient, and trustworthy Internet of Intelligence. IOI-2026 aims to address the key challenges and opportunities arising from distributed intelligence, dynamic networked systems, massive data-model collaboration, and increasingly diverse application demands. The conference provides a premier international forum for researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to exchange ideas, present breakthroughs, and discuss the latest advances and ongoing work on all aspects of the Internet of Intelligence. It seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration on theories, architectures, algorithms, systems, and applications that will shape the future of intelligent interconnected worlds. Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers to IOI-2026. All accepted papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore and will be submitted for indexing by Engineering Index (EI). 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] [Scheduling seminar] Florian Jaehn (Helmut Schmidt University) | June 24 | Scheduling with restrictions on job positions.

Dear scheduling researcher, We are delighted to announce the talk given Florian Jaehn (Helmut Schmidt University). The title is "Scheduling with restrictions on job positions". The seminar will take place on Zoom on Wednesday, June 24 at 13:00 UTC. Join Zoom Meeting https://cesnet.zoom.us/j/99151541981?pwd=J8eTa7muqy4YK0i9sUgB3o7HPeMJdL.1 Meeting ID: 991 5154 1981 Passcode: 279493 You can follow the seminar online or offline on our Youtube channel as well: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUoCNnaAfw5NAntItILFn4A The abstract follows. Unlike time restrictions on jobs, such as release dates or deadlines, which are common in scheduling, we consider position restrictions. For example, a job may be required to be in position x of the job sequence. Such a restriction may be motivated by maintenance scheduling, among other things. In maintenance scheduling, we may also encounter constraints, such as a maintenance operation that must be performed after executing at most k jobs. We provide an overview of classical one-machine problems and demonstrate how these additional constraints affect their complexity. While the complexity remains unchanged for many cases, it changes for some, revealing surprising effects. The next talk in our series will be in September.
