Data mining has the power to advance different domain problems solving as a
scientific and engineering discipline. Various data including textual,
multimedia, usage records/logs and social interaction data, sourced from
different parties are studied in order to mine knowledge, track interesting
targets or figure out relationships from them. However, these massive,
heterogeneous and non-synchronous data introduce significant challenges to
the data, text, web, and social network mining, for example, generic data
modeling and massive data process. How to achieve efficient, accurate,
trustworthy, distributed and parallel mining results has become crucial of
importance that significantly impacts future success of applications
benefitted from data mining and its intelligence.
In recent years, data, text, web, and social network mining (DTWSM) has
been paid an increasing attention and gained serious studies towards being
successfully applied in the practice of the data incentive applications and
services. This workshop will continue the success of IEEE DTWSM 2014
(September 11th 2014, Xi'an, China, held in conjunction with IEEE CIT2014)
and invite proposals for contributed talks and demonstrations that
highlight novel developments in the foundations, infrastructure,
applications and implications of heterogeneous data mining. Together, we
will continuously explore and discuss the latest academic and industrial
research results related to this research area.

[DMANET] Call for papers - 7th Workshop on Theory of Transactional Memory (WTTM) - co-located with PODC 2015
********** Call for papers ************
7th Workshop on the
Theory of Transactional Memory (WTTM)
July 20, 2015
Donostia-San Sebastian, Spain
co-located with the
ACM Symposium on Principles of
Distributed Computing (PODC) 2015
======================================================
The 7th Workshop on the Theory of Transactional Memory (WTTM) is a forum to
foster exchanges, discussions, and disseminations among researchers on
theoretical challenges and recent achievements in the context of concurrent
computing, with an emphasis on transactional memory.
Transactional Memory (TM) aims at making parallel programming more
programmer friendly by providing an alternative synchronization mechanism
to traditional lock-based concurrency. TM research has led to hardware TM
implementations on both commodity and high performance computing
microprocessors, as well as to TM integration in mainstream programming
languages (like C, C++) and in the world's leading open source compiler.
>From a theoretical perspective, the TM abstraction raises several
challenges in the way we view synchronization as well as in the way we
implement it. A major goal of the workshop is to explore new directions and
approaches for reasoning about Transactional Memory.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Models and semantics for concurrent computing
* Safety and liveness properties
* Tradeoffs in TM and concurrent computing
* TM algorithms and architectures
* Impossibility results and lower bounds
* TM performance and parallelism
* Speculation-friendly and transaction-friendly data structures and their
algorithms
* Formal methods, semantics and verification of TM and concurrent systems
* TM for cluster, cloud, grid and high-performance computing
* Concurrent computing, synchronization, and shared memory
* Concurrent data structures and their algorithms
* Multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms

[DMANET] EURANDOM workshop on "Scheduling under Uncertainty" (June 1-5, 2015)
We're proud to announce the upcoming workshop on "Scheduling under
Uncertainty".
The workshop will feature an exciting program with several top
speakers and take place at EURANDOM, Eindhoven University of
Technology, June 1-5, followed back-to-back by the 12th Workshop on
Models and Algorithms for Planning and Scheduling Problems (MAPSP
2015), which will be held in La Roche-en-Ardenne during the week of
June 8-12.
Thematic scope:
The workshop's goal is to bring together and promote the dialogue and
collaboration between researchers in two different communities: the
stochastic scheduling and networking community, and the worst-case
approximation scheduling community. Both these communities consider
mathematical and algorithmic problems motivated by resource
allocation, scheduling shared resources and load balancing, routing
and speed scaling in large-scale systems. However, the specific
problems studied and the techniques used to address them are quite
different. The workshop will bring together experts in both these
areas, and especially researchers who span both these communities, and
foster links by exploring problem areas of mutual interest and
encouraging lively interaction and discussions.
In addition to the invited speakers, we also expect a broad attendance
of local Dutch researchers and students from Europe.
5-Minute presentations:
We plan to organize a special session with 5-minute presentations. If
you're interested to give such a 5-minute presentation, then please
send an email to Nikhil Bansal at n.bansal@tue.nl with a title and
brief abstract by May 15.
Organizers:
Nikhil Bansal (Eindhoven)

*SCOPE*
The strong growth in mobile devices, networked embedded
systems and wireless sensors provides a flexible and cheap
infrastructure for collecting and monitoring real-world data
nearly everywhere. This is complemented by the ever increasing
information and computing power offered by computing clusters
and information services over stationary networks The
integration of network computing and mobile systems presents
new challenges especially with respect to the dependability of
integrated applications: accepted measures of availability,
costs, and quality of service for high-bandwidth, high-quality
stationary systems have to be re-thought facing possibly new
dependability paradigms for cheap, resource restricted,
unreliable mobile systems with low-bandwidth communication
facilities, being embedded and subject to the conditions in
the physical world.
*TOPICS*
This workshop solicits papers addressing dependability issues
related to the design, analysis, and implementation, of
infrastructures, systems, architectures, algorithms and
protocols that deal with network computing and mobile/
ubiquitous systems.

supervisor AS SOON AS POSSIBLE:
Dr Dirk Oliver Theis
Associate Professor
University of Tartu
dotheis@ut.ee
See below for more information about Estonia, Tartu, the
University of Tartu, and the CS institute.
Estonia
=======
Estonia is a Euro-zone country located directly south of
Finland. It has about 10% more average annual sunshine
hours than Berlin, and 18% more than Cologne. (It's because
the sky's blue most of the time.)
Estonia is an ``E-Society'': Broadband Internet is fast and
inexpensive or free, public WiFi is ubiquitous. The country
scores 1st in the world in Internet Freedom and 5th in
Privacy. It is ranked directly behind Germany in the
``State of the World's Children's Index'' (10th). In the
Human-Development index, it scores between the UK and
Portugal. See Wikipedia for these and other statistical
facts.
Since most Estonians speak English, it is not necessary to
learn Estonian. The language is similar to Finnish and
Hungarian.
Tartu
=====
Tartu is a picturesque city in southern Estonia. Home to
17,000 students (in a population of 105,000), there are lots
of inexpensive restaurants, bars, and cafés.
University of Tartu
===================
Founded in 1632, ``Universitas Tartuensis'' is one of the
most venerable centers of education and research in this
part of the world. In rankings, it is ranked in the top 400
universities world wide, with a rapid ascent over the recent
years.
The CS institute
================
A significant number of the Computer Science institute
faculty are expatriates, the ratio is even higher for PhD
students. Next to Combinatorial Optimization, which is part
of Theoretical Computer Science, the strong subjects are
Bioinformatics, Data Mining, Neuro Science, and Scientific
Computing.
