[DMANET] Extended deadline: JSC special issue on the interaction of SC and ML in AI

Call for papers

Journal of Symbolic Computation
Special Issue on the Interaction of Symbolic Computation and Machine
Learning in Artificial Intelligence

https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-symbolic-computation/about/call-for-papers

Extended submission deadline: September 17
=============================

SCOPE
------
Symbolic computation (SC) aims at providing algorithmic solutions to
problems dealing with symbolic objects such as terms, formulas,
programs, representations of algebraic objects, etc. Algorithms and
methods developed for the major subfields of SC (computer algebra,
computational logic, automatic programming) have found successful
applications in various areas.

From the beginning, SC was also considered a major approach to
"artificial intelligence", since the problems solved by SC, typically,
are problems that were considered hard for "human intelligence" (like
symbolic integration, theorem proving, SAT/SMT solving, program
verification, hardware verification, etc.).

Meanwhile, recent advances in artificial intelligence methods have
provided new exciting opportunities in science and industry, being more
and more integrated into most aspects of life. Machine learning (ML)
methods, developed in parallel to symbolic methods for solving hard
"artificial intelligence" problems, achieved spectacular results in
numerous applications in recent years.

This special issue is dedicated to the interaction of symbolic
computation and machine learning methods seen as the two major
approaches to "artificial intelligence". We expect dramatic advances
from a much closer interaction of the SC and the ML approaches to
artificial intelligence. This interplay is, in fact, essential in the
current scenario where the economy and society demand the development of
complex, data-intensive, trustable, and high-performant computational
systems that accompany humans in more and more facets of their daily life.

The special issue is organized as a follow-up of the 24th International
Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing,
SYNASC 2022. Participants of the symposium, as well as other authors,
are invited to submit contributions. We welcome submissions describing
the interaction of SC and ML methods, techniques, and tools, and their
applications in AI.

SUBMISSION
-----------
This special issue welcomes high-quality contributions, including papers
with original research results as well as review articles. They will be
peer-reviewed using the standard refereeing procedure of the Journal of
Symbolic Computation.

Submitted papers must be in English, prepared in LaTeX according to the
guidelines of the journal:
https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-symbolic-computation/0747-7171/guide-for-authors

PDF versions of manuscripts must be submitted via Journal of Symbolic
Computation online submission system (Editorial Manager):

[DMANET] PhD position at the University of Bologna, Italy

Applications are invited for a PhD position in the Biomedical, Electrical and System Engineering programme at the University of Bologna, Italy.
The position will start on November 1, 2023 and will last 3 years.
The project is entitled "Re-optimization methods for real-time adjustments and human interaction" and is partially supported by DecisionBrain S.A.S. (https://decisionbrain.com/).
The PhD will be supervised by Dr. Filippo Focacci, prof. Andrea Lodi and prof. Michele Monaci, and will be inserted in the research team in DecisionBrain as well as in the Operations Research group at the University of Bologna. Candidates must be available for spending some research periods outside Italy and for attending international scientific schools, workshops and conferences.

The topic of the project is the use of mathematical optimization methods in operational contexts. Typically, in these situations, one is required the ability to update an optimized solution together with the ability to understand the consequences of such changes and to re-optimize. Changes may arise from events during execution (e.g., an action not executed as planned, disruptions due to external events), or from the availability of new/updated information, or from business users that want to amend the proposed solution.
The main goal of this PhD is to design methodologies and algorithms to effectively update optimized solutions by considering the changes that occurred. The PhD will specifically focus on problems where decisions are executed across a time dimension (e.g., planning, scheduling, routing types of problems). We envision the use of modern statistical learning methods to leverage data and their integration with discrete optimization techniques.

Candidates must have
-Academic degree: a master's degree in mathematics, computer science or management engineering;
-Strong knowledge of Operations Research (E.g. thesis written in Operations Research or a strongly related topic)
-Excellent Programming language skills (e.g. in C, C++, Java, Python …)
-Experience in the use of mathematical optimization solvers (e.g., CPLEX, Gurobi, Xpress)
-Proficiency in English

The call is currently open (see, https://www.unibo.it/en/teaching/phd/2023-2024/biomedical-electrical-and-system-engineering) and will close on August, 22.

For further information about this position, please contact Filippo Focacci (ffocacci@decisionbrain.com<mailto:ffocacci@decisionbrain.com>) and Michele Monaci (michele.monaci@unibo.it<mailto:michele.monaci@unibo.it>).

[DMANET] CfP for WoWMoM 2024

# CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE WoWMoM 2024

Perth, Australia
4-7 June 2024

Web: https://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~wowmom/2024/index.html

## IMPORTANT NOTE

WoWMoM 2024 will adopt a double-blind review process. Refer to the details under Paper Submission for the requirements to double-blind submissions.

## SCOPE AND OVERVIEW

IEEE WoWMoM 2024 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances in the areas of wireless, mobile, and multimedia networking as well as ubiquitous and pervasive systems and applications. Wireless networking technologies are continuously evolving and have become a critical part of modern life, be it for communication services, media distribution, or sensing and actuation services within the Internet of Things (IoT). Appropriate resource management, application design, and architectural networking paradigms are necessary to provide users with high quality experience in multimedia communication and services. Edge computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are becoming essential tools to cope with the increasing diversity of connected devices and the plethora of new data-intensive and latency-sensitive applications. At the same time, the interoperability among IoT environments (including wearable computing and sensors), the network edge, and the cloud are evolving towards an IoT-edge-cloud continuum that is expected to support a wide range of application domains and services in a seamless and efficient manner. In this context, providing rich sets of measurements for characterizing and understanding the behavior of such complex systems is of paramount importance.

IEEE WoWMoM 2024 takes a broad view and seeks papers describing innovative research contributions to the field of mobile and wireless networking and applications. We solicit papers that present original work, validated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis. We also welcome practical experiences and experimental efforts from both industry and academia, duly documenting the lessons learned from testbeds, field trials, or real deployments.

## SPECIFIC AREAS OF INTEREST

* 5G/6G networks for mobile and multimedia services

## PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously unpublished work not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions. Specifically, the authors should not identify themselves in any content within the paper either directly or indirectly (e.g., through references). Where relevant, authors must refer to their previous work in the third person write as if it was written by a third party. However, authors should ensure that any anonymization of their work is not destructive. For instance, omission of references to papers just because they are the authors' previous work should be avoided, as this could prevent reviewers from finding that related paper for the purpose of the review. Submissions violating anonymization rules will not be considered for review.

Although submission is double-blind, non-anonymous preprints (on arXiv or other preprint servers) will not lead to the rejection of your paper. Reviewers will be instructed not to actively look for such preprints before completing a first read of your paper, but encountering them will not constitute a conflict of interest.

Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process, and all submissions must be made electronically through EDAS.

Visit <https://edas.info/N30195> to register your paper now!

Authors can submit regular or work-in-progress papers (appropriate category to be selected upon submission).

## REGULAR PAPERS

Regular papers submissions may be up to 10 pages in length (including figures and references), formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size 10 points or greater. See <https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html> for IEEE Manuscript Templates for Conference Proceedings.

## WORK IN PROGRESS PAPERS

WIP (Work-in-progress) papers provide a peer-reviewed forum for late-breaking or preliminary research results, giving an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent research and obtain feedback from their peers in a poster session. Work-in-progress papers submissions may be up to 4 pages in length (including figures and references) and must have the prefix "WIP:" in the paper's title.

## IMPORTANT DATES:

* Papers due: December 1, 2023
* Acceptance notification: February 19, 2024
* Camera-ready version due: April 14, 2024

## ACCEPTED PAPERS

An author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate. The paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference. Exceptions can be granted if compelling reasons are sent to the TPC Co-Chairs with a written request indicating an adequate substitute presenter before the conference.

[DMANET] Call for Papers - Fourth Workshop on Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS’24) @ PerCom 2024

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the Fourth Workshop on
Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS'24)
<https://sites.google.com/view/hccs24/home>, which will be co-located with
the 22nd IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and
Communications (PerCom'24) <http://percom.org/>in Biarritz, France, from
March 11-15, 2024.

The fourth edition of the Human-Centered Computational Sensing (HCCS'24)
Workshop at PerCom 2024 aims to advance and promote research about how
unobtrusive observations of human beings' cognitive, behavioral,
physiological, and contextual data are increasingly enabling new computing
experiences. The workshop will additionally stimulate dialog about the
implications of computational sensing for society. Traditionally, sensors
have been understood narrowly as physiological measurements often captured
with wearable devices. This workshop adopts a broader, human-focused view,
envisioning sensing as time-evolving measurable data directly linked to
individuals and, by extension, to their communities. With this
understanding, sensing involves human reactions and interactions observed
in spoken, written, or signed language, eye gaze, facial and bodily
expressions, social networks, geospatial patterns, and other such
human-generated data. Advances in multimodal human data acquisition and
fusion have the potential to significantly impact all areas of human life -
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::

- Novel methodologies for collecting and processing multimodal human
sensing data, including remote/online data collection
- Co-sensing of multiple individuals, groups, or communities
- Detection and analysis of human social interactions, behaviour and
habits
- Localization and proximity-detection systems
- User acceptance, quality of experience, and social impact studies
- Accessibility of human sensing technologies
- New interventions acting on human-centered computational sensing
- Fusion of multifaceted, heterogeneous, and/or incommensurable human
sensing data
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms for
responsible behavioral analysis with human sensing data
- Interactive machine learning guided by humans, with sensing
technologies
- Edge and fog computing architectures for human sensing
- Applications of human-centered computational sensing
- Innovative Human-Computer Interactions based on sensing
- Innovative visualizations and representations of human sensing data
- Evaluation metrics and methodologies
- Experimental analysis with human sensing data from real-world
applications
- Human-centered sensing for healthcare, industry, and social good
- Educational insights from teaching human sensing technologies
- Experiences and lessons learned from research projects focused on
human-centered computational sensing

*Organizers will consider the possibility of inviting authors of selected
papers accepted to HCCS'24 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,
or journal. Papers should present novel perspectives within the general
scope of the workshop.
Accepted workshop papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE digital
libraries (Xplore).
Papers may be no more than 6 pages in length. Authors can purchase one
additional page for the camera-ready version. Papers in excess of the page
limits will not be considered for review or publication. All papers must be
typeset in double-column IEEE format using 10pt fonts on US letter paper,
with all fonts embedded. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as
well as related information, can be found at the IEEE website.

Submission must be made via EDAS using https://edas.info/N31320.

It is a requirement that all the authors listed in the submitted paper are
also listed in EDAS. The author section of EDAS will be locked after the
workshop submission deadline to ensure that conflict-of-interest can be
properly enforced during the review process. If the list of authors differs
between the paper and EDAS, the paper may not be reviewed.
Each accepted workshop paper requires a full PerCom registration (no
registration is available for workshops only). Papers that are not
presented at the workshop will not be published in the proceedings.

---Important Dates:

- Paper submission deadline: November 17th, 2023 23:59 EST timezone
- Paper notification: January 8th, 2024
- Camera Ready Deadline: February 2nd, 2024
- Registration: same as main conference PerCom 24 papers (no
workshop-only registration)
- HCCS Workshop at PerCom 2024: To be announced (11 or 15 March 2024)

For more information, including the workshop's scope, submission
guidelines, and topics of
interest, please visit the workshop website
<https://sites.google.com/view/hccs24/home> or find the attached Call for
Papers (CFP).

We look forward to your contributions and participation in HCCS'24. If you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

[DMANET] IFORS Developing Countries Online Resources

The aim of the Developing Countries On-Line Resources page is to provide the OR researcher with all publicly-available materials on the topic of Operations Research for Development. It also aims to provide a venue for people who are working in the area to share their completed or in-process work, learn from others, and stimulate comments and discussions on the work.

To access information regarding IFORS Developing Countries resources, its regular updates – and to submit your possible "free" (not copyright protected) material, you may occasionally visit the link:

http://ifors.org/developing_countries/index.php?title=Main_Page

With this open online resources page we aim to provide a platform to make research and applications of OR widely accessible to the entire OR community including researchers, academicians and scholars in the Developing Countries (DCs).

For this purpose we invite scholarly contributions spanning across all areas and sectors ranging from arts and science, to communication and education.

The International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS) is an almost 60-year-old organization which is currently composed of 51 national societies. Regional Groups of IFORS are: ALIO (The Latin American Ibero Association on Operations Research), APORS (The Association of Asian-Pacific Operational Research Societies), EURO (The Association of European Operational Research Societies), NORAM (The Association of North American Operations Research Societies). IFORS conferences are held every three years. The conference IFORS 2023 was just held successfully in Santiago, Chile, during July 10-14, 2023. Please visit the following link for details regarding the same:
