[DMANET] Postdoc in Game Theory for Sustainable Short-Sea Shipping

Postdoc in Game Theory for Sustainable Short-Sea Shipping

Are you fascinated by the integration of game theoretical approaches to hard combinatorial problems?

Then grasp this opportunity for a deep dive in game theory with the additional challenges of combinatorial optimization. Not only will you be able to quench your thirst for knowledge, but you will also help the green transition by identifying new pricing schemes that will incentivize cargo to be shipped by vessels rather than trucks.

The postdoc position is anchored in the RORO-GT project (Game Theory to achieve Sustainable RoRo Shipping through Competition). The project aims to develop new optimization models and solution methods that will examine how optimized service pricing, integrated with other service-based decisions (such as service design or network design), can help short-sea shipping companies make better decisions. To advocate the use of such approaches, several case studies will be conducted, and all cases will include both economic goals and environmental constraints. Furthermore, this project will explore solutions where customers' behavior is considered.

* Survey an area of agent research especially relevant for people from industry.
* Present a novel synthesis combining distinct lines of AAMAS work.
* Introduce AAMAS audiences to an external topic that can motivate, use, or be useful to AAMAS research.

Areas of interest include all of those listed in the call for the technical track (https://aamas2024-conference.auckland.ac.nz/calls/call-for-papers/).

Tutorials will be half-day long and will be in person - online/remote versions will not be accepted. A few full-day tutorials may be accepted, but the proponents need to motivate their request when submitting their proposal.

== Important Dates ==

* Proposal Submission (EXTENDED): January 16, 2024 (23:59 UTC-12)
* Author Notifications: January 31, 2024 (23:59 UTC-12)
* Making the tutorial site available on the web: March 1st
* Tutorial Forum Presentations: May 6-7, 2024

== Conference Dates ==

* Tutorials, Doctoral Consortium, Workshops: May 6-7, 2024
* Main Conference: May 8-10, 2024

== Submission Requirements ==

Proposals should be sent to aamas24tutorials@gmail.com<mailto:aamas24tutorials@gmail.com> as an attached pdf file.

Tutorial proposals should be 2 to 4 pages in length, formatted using the AAMAS paper template, and should contain the following information:

* A short title of the tutorial.
* A brief description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in the conference registration brochure.
* A detailed outline of the tutorial, including preferred length (half or full day).
* Characterization of the potential target audience for the tutorial, including prerequisite knowledge.
* A description of why the tutorial topic would be of interest to a substantial part of the AAMAS audience.
* At this point the conference, including the tutorials, is planned as face-to-face.
* A brief resume of the presenter(s), which should include name, postal address, phone numbers, email address, background in the tutorial area, any available example of work in the area (ideally, a published tutorial-level article on the subject), evidence of teaching experience (including references that address the proposer's presentation skills as applicable), and evidence of scholarship in the area. Information about previous tutorials delivered by the presenters (if any).
* The name and e-mail address of the corresponding presenter. The corresponding presenter should be available for e-mail correspondence during the evaluation process, in the case clarifications and discussions on the scope and content of the proposal are needed.

The evaluation of the proposal will consider the level of general interest for AAMAS attendees, the quality of the proposal, the feasibility of running it in the proposed mode, the expertise and skills of the presenters, and recent tutorials on the same or related topics at AAMAS.

We emphasize that the primary criteria for evaluation will be whether a proposal is interesting, well-structured, and motivated, rather than the perceived experience/standing of the proposer.
The overall goal in the selection process is to compose a balanced program of excellent tutorials. Thus, even good proposals might be rejected. In the case of several closely related proposals the tutorial chairs might propose their authors to combine the proposals into a single tutorial.

== Responsibilities (with respect to accepted proposals) ==

AAMAS will be responsible for:

* Providing logistic support and a meeting place for tutorials.
* Together with the organizers, determining the tutorial date and time.
* Advertising the availability of the tutorial material to the AAMAS 2024 participants.

Tutorial organizers will be responsible for:

* Providing AAMAS with a link to a complete tutorial notes by March 1st 2024.
* Providing a website for the tutorial, which will include title and abstract of the tutorial, presenters' details, outline, tutorial notes and related reading material. The Tutorial co-chairs will ask the Tutorial organizers to follow some common format and style for their web sites, in order to make them as homogeneous as possible. More details will be provided upon acceptance.
* Presenting the tutorial at AAMAS 2024.

AAMAS reserves the right to cancel any tutorial if the above responsibilities are not fulfilled, if deadlines are missed, or if too few attendees register for the tutorial to support the costs of running the tutorial.

AIM AND SCOPE

The International Series of Conferences on the Practice and Theory of
Automated Timetabling (PATAT) is held biennially as the main
international forum for both researchers and practitioners of
timetabling to exchange ideas. PATAT 2024 which is the fourteenth in the
conference series will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Whether it is sporting events, educational institutions, transportation
or employee management the construction of efficient timetables which
provide the maximum in way of flexibility for all constituent parts,
including stakeholders, is as important as it is challenging. An
increasingly important aspect within organisations is an automated
approach which optimises all aspects of resource usage. In doing so a
number of quantitative and qualitative challenges must be dealt with
from both a technical and practical perspective.

An important aim of the conference is to align the needs of
practitioners and the objectives of researchers. This is achieved
through the presentation and application of leading edge research
techniques. Practitioners and Researchers alike are encouraged to
present their work and experiences with the overall goal of developing
efficient and practical solutions. With this goal in mind, at PATAT
2024, researchers and practitioners will be brought together through a
number of key presentations and contributed talks.

Topics of interest and themes of the conference include, but are not
limited to:

- Educational Timetabling
- Timetabling in Transport
- Employee Rostering
- Sports Timetabling
- Timetabling in Healthcare
- Resource Capacity Planning
- Graph Colouring
- Foundational Studies (e.g., Complexity Issues)
- Mathematical Programming
- Constraint-Based Methods
- Knowledge Based Systems
- Heuristic Search
- Metaheuristics (e.g., Evolutionary Computation, Simulated Annealing,
Tabu Search, Ant Colony Methods)
- Systems to Build Systems (e.g., Hyper-heuristics, Algorithm
Portfolios)
- Algorithm Configuration and Selection
- Parallel/Distributed Computing
- Hybrid Methods (e.g., Memetic Computing, Matheuristics)
- Machine Learning (e.g., Data Mining, Classifier Systems, Neural
Networks, Reinforcement Learning, Deep Learning, GFlowNets))
- Expert Systems
- Multi-objective Approaches
- Multi-criteria Decision Making
- Preference Collection and Elicitation in Timetabling
- Artificial Intelligence
- Trustworthiness, Fairness and Ethical Issues in Timetabling

[DMANET] AAMAS 2024: Last Call for Tutorials (Proposal submission deadline: Jan 9)

Dear all,

We would like to resurface a Last Call for Tutorials for the 23rd International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2024) to be held in Auckland, New Zealand, on May 6-10, 2024.

We look forward to seeing you in Auckland!

Reyhan Aydogan and Andrei Ciortea
Publicity Chairs
On behalf of the AAMAS 2024 Organizing Committee


===================
CALL FOR TUTORIALS
===================

AAMAS 2024 – The 23rd Int. Conf. on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems

Date: 6-10 May 2024
Location: Auckland, New Zealand

See this call on the AAMAS 2024 website:
https://www.aamas2024-conference.auckland.ac.nz/calls/call-for-tutorials/

The AAMAS 2024 Organizing Committee invites proposals for the Tutorial Program, to be held on May 6-7, 2024, immediately before the main conference.

Tutorials should serve one or more of the following objectives:

* Introduce novices to major topics of AAMAS research.
* Provide instruction in established practices and methodologies.
* Survey a mature area of AAMAS research or practice.
* Motivate and explain an AAMAS topic of emerging importance.
* Introduce expert non-specialists to an AAMAS area.
* Survey an area of agent research especially relevant for people from industry.
* Present a novel synthesis combining distinct lines of AAMAS work.
* Introduce AAMAS audiences to an external topic that can motivate, use, or be useful to AAMAS research.

Areas of interest include all of those listed in the call for the technical track (https://aamas2024-conference.auckland.ac.nz/calls/call-for-papers/).

Tutorials will be half-day long and will be in person - online/remote versions will not be accepted. A few full-day tutorials may be accepted, but the proponents need to motivate their request when submitting their proposal.

== Important Dates ==

* Proposal Submission:  January 9, 2024 (23:59 UTC-12)
* Author Notifications:  January 31, 2024 (23:59 UTC-12)
* Making the tutorial site available on the web: March 1st
* Tutorial Forum Presentations:  May 6-7, 2024

== Conference Dates ==

* Tutorials, Doctoral Consortium, Workshops:  May 6-7, 2024
* Main Conference:  May 8-10, 2024

== Submission Requirements ==

Proposals should be sent to aamas24tutorials@gmail.com<mailto:aamas24tutorials@gmail.com> as an attached pdf file.

Tutorial proposals should be 2 to 4 pages in length, formatted using the AAMAS paper template, and should contain the following information:

* A short title of the tutorial.
* A brief description of the tutorial, suitable for inclusion in the conference registration brochure.
* A detailed outline of the tutorial, including preferred length (half or full day).
* Characterization of the potential target audience for the tutorial, including prerequisite knowledge.
* A description of why the tutorial topic would be of interest to a substantial part of the AAMAS audience.
* At this point the conference, including the tutorials, is planned as face-to-face.
* A brief resume of the presenter(s), which should include name, postal address, phone numbers, email address, background in the tutorial area, any available example of work in the area (ideally, a published tutorial-level article on the subject), evidence of teaching experience (including references that address the proposer's presentation skills as applicable), and evidence of scholarship in the area. Information about previous tutorials delivered by the presenters (if any).
* The name and e-mail address of the corresponding presenter. The corresponding presenter should be available for e-mail correspondence during the evaluation process, in the case clarifications and discussions on the scope and content of the proposal are needed.

The evaluation of the proposal will consider the level of general interest for AAMAS attendees, the quality of the proposal, the feasibility of running it in the proposed mode, the expertise and skills of the presenters, and recent tutorials on the same or related topics at AAMAS.

We emphasize that the primary criteria for evaluation will be whether a proposal is interesting, well-structured, and motivated, rather than the perceived experience/standing of the proposer.
The overall goal in the selection process is to compose a balanced program of excellent tutorials. Thus, even good proposals might be rejected. In the case of several closely related proposals the tutorial chairs might propose their authors to combine the proposals into a single tutorial.

== Responsibilities (with respect to accepted proposals) ==

AAMAS will be responsible for:

* Providing logistic support and a meeting place for tutorials.
* Together with the organizers, determining the tutorial date and time.
* Advertising the availability of the tutorial material to the AAMAS 2024 participants.

Tutorial organizers will be responsible for:

* Providing AAMAS with a link to a complete tutorial notes by March 1st 2024.
* Providing a website for the tutorial, which will include title and abstract of the tutorial, presenters' details, outline, tutorial notes and related reading material. The Tutorial co-chairs will ask the Tutorial organizers to follow some common format and style for their web sites, in order to make them as homogeneous as possible. More details will be provided upon acceptance.
* Presenting the tutorial at AAMAS 2024.

AAMAS reserves the right to cancel any tutorial if the above responsibilities are not fulfilled, if deadlines are missed, or if too few attendees register for the tutorial to support the costs of running the tutorial.

== Submissions and Inquiries ==

Inquiries should be sent at aamas24tutorials@gmail.com<mailto:aamas24tutorials@gmail.com>
