For a project on communication network optimization in Chemnitz, Germany, we
have one open (PhD candidate or Post-Doc) full-time position. Employment
will be at the Chair for Communication Networks at TU Chemnitz. The position
will become available for a period of one year starting from 1st October
2013 at the earliest. Further continuation is possible.

Research Field:

The research project VINO (VIrtual Network Optimization) addresses two
problem statements related to communication network planning and
optimization:
- Optimum configuration and dynamic adaptation of Flexgrid optical transport
networks (Flexgrid Optical Network Design (FOND) problem)
- Embedding and dynamic adaptation of virtual networks within a physical
network infrastructure (Virtual Network Embedding (VNE) problem)

Responsibilities:

The following research tasks should be performed by the candidate in the
project:
- Design and evaluation of online algorithms to handle incoming resource
requests (i.e. optical connections in case of FOND and virtual network
requests in case of VNE) in real time (online optimization problem)
- Re-optimization of the network configuration while the network is in
service

Requirements:

- MSc or equivalent degree in Mathematics or Information Technology /
Computer Science
- Background in at least one of the following areas:
- discrete optimization (especially mixed-integer linear programming)
- online optimization
- communication network architectures and protocols
- Experience with solvers for linear optimization problems (e.g. CPLEX)
- Programming skills (e.g. C/C++)
- Good English language skills

Applicants should submit their documents (including a letter of interest,
CV, copies of academic certificates and previous scientific work such as
master or diploma thesis) preferentially via Email to:

Technische Universit?t Chemnitz
Chair for Communication Networks
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Bauschert

IPDPS 2014 CALL FOR PAPERS
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------

SCOPE: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original
unpublished research in all areas of parallel and distributed
processing, including the development of experimental or commercial
systems. Work focusing on emerging technologies is especially welcome.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Parallel and distributed algorithms, focusing on topics such as:
numerical, combinatorial, and data-intensive parallel algorithms,
scalability of algorithms and data structures for parallel and
distributed systems, communication and synchronization protocols,
network algorithms, scheduling, and load balancing.
- Applications of parallel and distributed computing, including
computational and data-enabled science and engineering, big data
applications, parallel crowd sourcing, large-scale social network
analysis, management of big data, cloud and grid computing, scientific
and biomedical applications, and mobile computing. Papers focusing on
applications using novel commercial or research architectures, big
data approaches, or discussing scalability toward the exascale level
are encouraged.
- Parallel and distributed architectures, including architectures for
instruction-level and thread-level parallelism; petascale and exascale
systems designs; novel big data architectures; special-purpose
architectures, including graphics processors, signal processors,
network processors, media accelerators, and other special purpose
processors and accelerators; impact of technology on architecture;
network and interconnect architectures; parallel I/O and storage
systems; architecture of the memory hierarchy; power-efficient and
green computing architectures; dependable architectures; and
performance modeling and evaluation.
- Parallel and distributed software, including parallel and multicore
programming languages and compilers, runtime systems, operating
systems, resource management including green computing, middleware for
grids, clouds, and data centers, libraries, performance modeling and
evaluation, parallel programming paradigms, and programming
environments and tools. Papers focusing on novel software systems for
big data and exascale systems are encouraged.

WHAT/WHERE TO SUBMIT
More details on submissions and instructions for submitting
manuscripts are available at www.ipdps.org. All submitted manuscripts
will be reviewed. Submitted papers should NOT have appeared in or be
under consideration for another conference, workshop or journal.

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.
