Two three-year postdoctoral positions available in Algorithms and
Lower bounds at
the University of Bristol, UK.

This is a ?rolling advert? with a nominal advert close date of 31
December 2013. Applications are welcome at any time and the timing of
the selection process will be dependent on the applications received.
Start date is dependent on the circumstances of the successful
candidates.

Based in the Department of Computer Science at the University of
Bristol you will carry out research within a project concerned with
the development of new algorithms as well as provable time and space
lower bounds. This is part of an EPSRC funded research project on
pattern matching in dynamically changing as well as streaming data.

The role will require a high level of expertise in areas which may include
but not be limited to data structures, algorithms, probability,
discrete mathematics and combinatorics. Candidates with a strong
mathematical background are particularly encouraged to apply.

Post 1
The emphasis will be new pattern matching algorithms with provable
performance bounds such as appear in the conferences
ICALP/SODA/STOC/FOCS. You will also at times implement and test
algorithms related to the proposal.

Post 2
This role will have as its main focus the development of time and
space lower bounds for pattern matching problems. You will ideally
already be familiar with lower bound techniques such as the chronogram
method and Mihai Patrascu?s information transfer method.

For both posts you will have Ph.D. in theoretical computer science or
closely related area together with a strong track record of
international publications in algorithms/theoretical computer science
venues.

In addition you will have excellent written and spoken communication
skills including the ability to explain and share deep concepts. You
should have a strong mathematical background and ideally excellent
programming skills.

Appointments will be made at Research Assistant or Research Associate
depending on skills and experience.

More details are available by following the link in the News section
of http://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/Research/Algorithms/ .

Informal enquires can be made by email to Raphael.Clifford@bristol.ac.uk .

Subject: [DMANET] PhD studentship available for the project "Real-Time
Scheduling of Patrols Serving Motor Vehicle Breakdowns"
Message-ID: <CE676158.7B5B%t.bektas@soton.ac.uk>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

This PhD project will address problems of deployment and real-time
scheduling of patrol vehicles that have to service breakdowns. The main
goal of the project will be to use operational research techniques to
design algorithms that are effective in dealing with problems with about
2500 patrol vehicles across the UK. Specific objectives are:
(a) finding the optimal number and locations of new patrol stations (if
any) to be established under the uncertainty of the breakdown locations;
(b) determining the number of patrol vehicles to be deployed at each
(existing or new) station; and
? online scheduling of the patrol vehicles to service the incoming
requests for assistance within a target response time (where possible),
and with an overall objective of minimizing the total operation costs.
A simulation model will also be developed to evaluate the performance of
the algorithms that are developed.

The student will be based in the Operational Research Group in
Mathematical Sciences at the University of Southampton. The project will
run in collaboration with the AA (Automobile Association), which is based
in Basingstoke. Consequently, the student will spend some time in the AA
offices observing the processes, collecting data, liaising with staff, and
eventually communicating the results. The project will be jointly
supervised by Prof. Chris Potts and Prof. Tolga Bektas.

Applicants should have completed, or expect to complete before November
2013, a Bachelor?s degree in Operational Research, Mathematics,
Statistics, or a related area with at least an upper second class
classification (or the equivalent), and preferably a Master?s degree. The
deadline for applications is 14 October 2013, and the latest start date
for the PhD project is 1 December 2013.

The studentship will cover tuition fees at the UK/EU level and a stipend
of approximately ?13,500. Both UK/EU students and international students
are encouraged to apply.

Further information is available by contacting Chris Potts
(C.N.Potts@soton.ac.uk<mailto:C.N.Potts@soton.ac.uk>
<mailto:C.N.Potts@soton.ac.uk%3E>). Online applications can be made from

IPDPS 2014 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
The 28th IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing
Symposium will be held 19-23 May 2014 in Phoenix at the Arizona Grand
Resort, an all-suites family-friendly resort and meeting place.
Phoenix has an international airport and is the hub for several US
airlines. It is only a six hour drive from Los Angeles and Las Vegas
and the starting point for one day tours of the Grand Canyon as well
as other historic communities in the area. For those who come early or
stay late, there are boundless Southwest tourist attractions and
activities. For shorter trip times, AGR has a water-world, golf
course, and hiking and riding trails on the premises and an indoor
athletic club and spa for fitness training. Check the IPDPS Web pages
for updates and information on workshops, the PhD Forum, and other
events as the full program develops and see the full call for papers
for details on submitting papers for 2014.

The PhD Forum & Student Author Program will provide added value to
encourage advisors to bring their students to IPDPS, with an enhanced
program providing a comprehensive venue for students to better prepare
for their research and career path in parallel and distributed
computing. Participating students will have the opportunity to both
present their research work and interact with senior academic and
industry people in an informal setting. In addition, there will be
mentoring sessions to help students improve communication skills,
obtain valuable information for career planning, get familiar with a
few of the trendy research topics, and make valuable contacts ? all
while enjoying the IPDPS main conference and many associated
workshops. See details at
