[DMANET] ICALP 2025: Call for Papers (52nd Int. Coll. Automata, Languages, and Programming, Aarhus, Denmark)

ICALP 2025 - Call for Papers (with correct Track B PC)
======================================================

The 52nd EATCS International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming
(ICALP) will take place in:

* Aarhus, Denmark, July 8-11, 2025
* Conference website: https://conferences.au.dk/icalp2025

ICALP is the main conference and annual meeting of the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). As usual, ICALP will
be preceded by a series of workshops, which will take place on July 7.

The 2025 edition has the following features:

- Submissions are anonymous and there is a rebuttal phase.
- The conference is planned as a physical, in-person event.

Important dates and information
===============================

* Submissions: February 8, 2025 (anywhere on Earth)
* Rebuttal: March 21-24, 2025
* Author notification: April 14, 2025
* Camera-ready version: April 28, 2025
* Early registration: To be announced
* Conference: July 8-11, 2025 (Workshops on July 7)

Deadlines are firm; late submissions will not be considered.

Workshops
=========

On Monday 7 July, the following workshops will take place:

* Fair Allocations
* Loop Invariants and Algebraic Reasoning
* Theory and Applications of Algorithms with Predictions
* Algorithmic Aspects of Temporal Graphs

Awards
=======

During the conference, the following awards will be delivered:

* the EATCS award,
* the Presburger award,
* the EATCS distinguished dissertation award,
* the best papers for Track A and Track B,
* the best student papers for Track A and Track B.

Submission guidelines
=====================

Submissions to ICALP 2025 use HotCRP system:

* Submission server Track A: https://icalp25-a.hotcrp.com
* Submission server Track B: https://icalp25-b.hotcrp.com

Guidelines:

1. Papers must present original research on the theory of computer science. No
prior publication and no simultaneous submission to other publication outlets
(either a conference or a journal) is allowed. Authors are encouraged to also
make full versions of their submissions freely accessible in an on-line
repository such as ArXiv, HAL, ECCC.

2. Submissions take the form of an extended abstract of no more than 15 pages,
excluding references and a clearly labelled appendix. The appendix may consist
either of omitted proofs or of a full version of the submission, and it will be
read at the discretion of program committee members. The use of the LIPIcs
document class is an option, but not required. The extended abstract has to
present the merits of the paper and its main contributions clearly, and
describe the key concepts and technical ideas used to obtain the results.
Submissions must provide the proofs which can enable the main mathematical
claims of the paper to be verified.

3. Submissions are anonymous. The conference will employ a lightweight
double-blind reviewing process. Submissions should not reveal the identity of
the authors in any way. Authors should ensure that any references to their own
related work are in the third person (e.g., not "We build on our previous work
…" but rather "We build on the work of …").

The purpose of this double-blind process is to help PC members and external
reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, and not to
make it impossible for them to discover who the authors are 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. 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.

4. Submissions authored or co-authored by members of the program committee are allowed.

5. The submissions are done via HotCRP to the appropriate track of the
conference. The use of pdflatex or similar pdf generating tools is mandatory
and the page limit is strict (see point 2.) Papers that deviate significantly
from these requirements risk rejection without consideration of merit.

6. During the rebuttal phase, authors will have from March 21-24, 2025 the
opportunity to view and respond to initial reviews. Further instructions will
be sent to authors of submitted papers before that time.

7. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register for the
conference, and all talks are in-person. In exceptional cases, there may be
support for remotely presenting a talk.

8. Papers authored only by students should be marked as such upon submission in
order to be eligible for the best student paper awards of the track.

Proceedings
===========

ICALP proceedings are published in the Leibniz International Proceedings in
Informatics (LIPIcs) series. This is a series of high-quality conference
proceedings across all fields in informatics established in cooperation with
Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics. LIPIcs volumes are
published according to the principle of Open Access, i.e., they are available
online and free of charge. The accepted papers will need to comply with the
LIPIcs style.

[DMANET] Final call for graduate positions at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada

Final call for graduate students at Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada

The Combinatorics Group of Memorial University of Newfoundland is actively seeking graduate students at the Masters and Ph.D. level to begin fully-funded positions in the Fall 2025 term. Students are encouraged to apply if they are interested in pursuit-evasion problems and discrete time processes; graph decompositions and combinatorial designs; graph colourings; or combinatorial game theory.

Faculty in the Combinatorics Group have been recognized for their teaching and their research and include recipients of the Kirkman Medal and the Hall Medal of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications and the Distinguished Teaching Award of the Association of Atlantic Universities. The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Memorial is ranked in the top 400 in the Shanghai Ranking, and in the top 550 in the QS Ranking. Many members of the Combinatorics Group are also members of the AARMS collaborative research group "Games and Graph Searching in Atlantic Canada." https://sites.google.com/view/aarmsggsac

More details of our group, including individual members' research interests and e-mail addresses, are available here: https://www.mun.ca/math/research-and-teaching/combinatorics-group/

We currently supervise 13 graduate students at Memorial and are seeking to grow. The Combinatorics Group recognizes that mathematics is only benefited by having a variety of opinions and backgrounds engaged, and so encourages applications from a diversity of experiences and locations.

The application deadline for applications is January 15, 2025, though early applications will be considered. Applications can be made online here: https://www.mun.ca/become/graduate/apply-to-memorial/

Further questions should be directed to individual group members (emails available on the Combinatorics Group page) or to Danny Dyer (dyer@mun.ca<mailto:dyer@mun.ca>).

[DMANET] ICALP 2025: Call for Papers (52nd Int. Coll. Automata, Languages, and Programming, Aarhus, Denmark)

ICALP 2025 - Call for Papers
============================

The 52nd EATCS International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming
(ICALP) will take place in:

* Aarhus, Denmark, July 8-11, 2025
* Conference website: https://conferences.au.dk/icalp2025

ICALP is the main conference and annual meeting of the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS). As usual, ICALP will
be preceded by a series of workshops, which will take place on July 7.

The 2025 edition has the following features:

- Submissions are anonymous and there is a rebuttal phase.
- The conference is planned as a physical, in-person event.

Important dates and information
===============================

* Submissions: February 8, 2025 (anywhere on Earth)
* Rebuttal: March 21-24, 2025
* Author notification: April 14, 2025
* Camera-ready version: April 28, 2025
* Early registration: To be announced
* Conference: July 8-11, 2025 (Workshops on July 7)

Deadlines are firm; late submissions will not be considered.

Workshops
=========

On Monday 7 July, the following workshops will take place:

* Fair Allocations
* Loop Invariants and Algebraic Reasoning
* Theory and Applications of Algorithms with Predictions
* Algorithmic Aspects of Temporal Graphs

Awards
=======

During the conference, the following awards will be delivered:

* the EATCS award,
* the Presburger award,
* the EATCS distinguished dissertation award,
* the best papers for Track A and Track B,
* the best student papers for Track A and Track B.

Submission guidelines
=====================

Submissions to ICALP 2025 use HotCRP system:

* Submission server Track A: https://icalp25-a.hotcrp.com
* Submission server Track B: https://icalp25-b.hotcrp.com

Guidelines:

1. Papers must present original research on the theory of computer science. No
prior publication and no simultaneous submission to other publication outlets
(either a conference or a journal) is allowed. Authors are encouraged to also
make full versions of their submissions freely accessible in an on-line
repository such as ArXiv, HAL, ECCC.

2. Submissions take the form of an extended abstract of no more than 15 pages,
excluding references and a clearly labelled appendix. The appendix may consist
either of omitted proofs or of a full version of the submission, and it will be
read at the discretion of program committee members. The use of the LIPIcs
document class is an option, but not required. The extended abstract has to
present the merits of the paper and its main contributions clearly, and
describe the key concepts and technical ideas used to obtain the results.
Submissions must provide the proofs which can enable the main mathematical
claims of the paper to be verified.

3. Submissions are anonymous. The conference will employ a lightweight
double-blind reviewing process. Submissions should not reveal the identity of
the authors in any way. Authors should ensure that any references to their own
related work are in the third person (e.g., not "We build on our previous work
…" but rather "We build on the work of …").

The purpose of this double-blind process is to help PC members and external
reviewers come to an initial judgment about the paper without bias, and not to
make it impossible for them to discover who the authors are 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. 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.

4. Submissions authored or co-authored by members of the program committee are allowed.

5. The submissions are done via HotCRP to the appropriate track of the
conference. The use of pdflatex or similar pdf generating tools is mandatory
and the page limit is strict (see point 2.) Papers that deviate significantly
from these requirements risk rejection without consideration of merit.

6. During the rebuttal phase, authors will have from March 21-24, 2025 the
opportunity to view and respond to initial reviews. Further instructions will
be sent to authors of submitted papers before that time.

7. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register for the
conference, and all talks are in-person. In exceptional cases, there may be
support for remotely presenting a talk.

8. Papers authored only by students should be marked as such upon submission in
order to be eligible for the best student paper awards of the track.

Proceedings
===========

ICALP proceedings are published in the Leibniz International Proceedings in
Informatics (LIPIcs) series. This is a series of high-quality conference
proceedings across all fields in informatics established in cooperation with
Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics. LIPIcs volumes are
published according to the principle of Open Access, i.e., they are available
online and free of charge. The accepted papers will need to comply with the
LIPIcs style.

[DMANET] Funded PhD Position in Algorithms for Data Science at the University of St Andrews

The School of Computer Science at the University of St Andrews is advertising a fully-funded PhD position in Algorithms for Data Science.

Lead supervisor: Dr Peter Macgregor
Application deadline: 1 March 2025
Full details: https://blogs.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/csblog/2024/11/14/fully-funded-phd-scholarship-in-algorithms-for-data-science/

Interested applicants are welcome to contact Dr Peter Macgregor (prm4@st-andrews.ac.uk) to discuss the project.

Project Description
-------------------------

Modern data science and machine learning applications involve datasets with millions of data points and hundreds of dimensions. For example, deep learning pipelines produce massive vector datasets representing text, image, audio and other data types. The analysis of such datasets with classical algorithms often requires significant time and/or computational resources which may not be available in many applications.

This motivates the development of a new generation of fast algorithms for data analysis, running in linear or sub-linear time and often producing an approximate result rather than an exact one. Moreover, the dataset may change over time, requiring dynamic algorithms which handle updates efficiently.

This project will tackle aspects of the design, analysis, and implementation of algorithms for processing large dynamic datasets, with the aim to develop new algorithms with state-of-the-art practical performance and/or theoretical guarantees. This could involve performing new analysis of existing algorithms, designing new algorithms with provable guarantees, or implementing heuristic algorithms with state-of-the-art empirical performance.

Potential areas of research, depending on the interests of the candidate include

* nearest-neighbour search algorithms;
* clustering algorithms including hierarchical clustering, density-based clustering, and dynamic clustering;
* numerical linear algebra; and
* other projects in the area of algorithmic data science and machine learning.

Applicants should have a strong interest in the analysis of algorithms, knowledge of topics in discrete mathematics and linear algebra, and some familiarity with existing algorithms for data analysis and machine learning. Strong programming skills would also be desirable.

[DMANET] EuroCG 2025: Second Call for Contributions

================
Call for Contributions
================

41st European Workshop on Computational Geometry
Organized as an event of the Computational Geometry Society,
https://computational-geometry.org/
April 9-11, 2025, Liblice, Czech Republic
https://kam.mff.cuni.cz/conferences/eurocg2025/

EuroCG 2025 will be held on April 9-11, 2025 in Liblice, Czech Republic.
EuroCG is an annual workshop that combines a strong scientific tradition
with a friendly and informal atmosphere. The workshop is a forum where
established researchers and students can meet, discuss their work, present
their results, and establish scientific collaborations.

=============
Important Dates
=============

Submission Deadline: January 21, 2025
Acceptance Notification: February 21, 2025
Early Registration ends: March 5, 2025
Camera-ready version: March 7, 2025
EuroCG 2025: April 9-11, 2025
All deadlines are 23:59 AoE.

=============
Invited speakers
=============

- Oswin Aichholzer (Graz University of Technology)
- Eva Rotenberg (Technical University of Denmark)
- Uli Wagner (Institute of Science and Technology Austria)

=============
Topics of interest
=============

Topics of interest cover all aspects of computational geometry, including
but not limited to the following:

- discrete and combinatorial geometry and topology,
- design and analysis of geometric algorithms and data structures,
- implementation and experimental evaluation of geometric algorithms,
- numerical and algebraic issues arising from implementations,
- analysis of geometric configurations,
- geometric modeling, visualization and simulation,
- combinatorial optimization,
- graph drawing,
- structural molecular biology,
- geometric puzzle analysis,
- applications of computational geometry,
- geographic information systems,
- robotics and virtual worlds, and
- computer-aided design and manufacturing.

=========
Submission
=========

We invite authors to submit extended abstracts of their original research.
Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX using a supplied class file, and not
be longer than 175 lines of text. Submissions will be handled through
EasyChair.

Authors must use the LaTeX class files euroCG25 and eurocg25-submission,
which are based on the LIPIcs class file. These class files should
automatically count all lines containing text, excluding title and
references, and excluding figures. Authors are expected to make reasonable
effort to make sure all lines that contain text are counted: the class file
should be considered an aid, and the responsibility of correctly counting
lines remains with the authors. A zip file containing an example of how to
use the class file can be found at
https://kam.mff.cuni.cz/conferences/eurocg2025/.

Your submission should provide a clear statement of your results including
proofs. The main (175 line) body of your submission should be
self-contained and contain a clear and succinct description of your
results. Content that does not fit in the main body due to space
restrictions must be placed into a clearly marked appendix, which will only
be read at the discretion of the program committee.

==============
Acceptance Policy
==============

EuroCG is a non-competitive forum. We will accept all submissions which are
original, correct, well-presented, non-trivial, and in scope. The program
committee judges submissions on these five criteria, each of which can lead
to rejection. If a submission satisfies all criteria, then it will be
accepted: there is no competition against other submissions. For this
reason authors are not requested to hide their names and affiliations at
the time of their submission (the review process will not be double blind).

- Originality: If a submission does not contain original research by the
authors, or if there is good reason to believe this is the case, this is a
reason for rejection. We do not accept submissions which have already been
accepted for publication in a conference and/or journal at the date of the
EuroCG submission deadline. However, we do explicitly allow submissions
that are under review at another
conference or journal at the date of the EuroCG submission deadline.
- Correctness: If the main / a major result of a submission is not correct,
this is a reason for rejection. If an attentive reviewer cannot establish
correctness of the results from the content of the submission, this is a
reason for rejection. However, an acceptance at EuroCG is no correctness
guarantee.
- Presentation: If a submission is written in a way that makes it
unreadable, or it does not follow the submission guidelines as listed in
the call for contributions, this is a reason for rejection.
- Technical Depth: If a submission is trivial, this is a reason for
rejection. However, there is no minimum level of technical depth required.
- Scope: If a submission is out of scope, this is a reason for rejection.
However, we wish to be inclusive in our interpretation of scope, which
includes but is not limited to the list of topics in the call for
contributions.

==========
Proceedings
==========

EuroCG does not have formally reviewed proceedings. A booklet of abstracts,
without ISBN, will be accessible online on the website for the benefit of
the community and must be regarded as a collection of preprints rather than
a formally reviewed selection of papers. Results presented at EuroCG are
expected to appear in other conferences with formal proceedings and/or in
journals.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a
special issue of the Computing in Geometry and Topology (CGT) journal.

There will also be a voting for the Best Student Presentation.

==========================================
Presentation of the papers and conference attendance
==========================================

EuroCG is dedicated to providing an environment that is free from
harassment, bullying, discrimination, and retaliation for all participants.
According to the decision taken at EuroCG 2024 [
https://computational-geometry.org/eurocg/], from 2025 onwards EuroCG will
be organized as an event of the CG Society [
https://computational-geometry.org/society/]. Only members of the Society
can attend EuroCG. Society membership is free. All members of the Society
are bound by its Code of Conduct [
https://computational-geometry.org/society/code-of-conduct/]. A person
whose membership has been suspended, for example by the Code of Conduct
Committee [https://computational-geometry.org/society/code-of-conduct/#ccc],
cannot attend EuroCG in person.

EuroCG is fundamentally an in-person event and all presentations are
expected to be given in person. Hence at least one author of an accepted
contribution must become a member of the society and attend EuroCG. If no
author of an accepted contribution is attending EuroCG, then the
contribution may be removed from the program, the booklet of abstracts, and
the conference website.
