Call for Nominations: The EATCS-IPEC Nerode Prize 2014 for outstanding
papers in multivariate algorithmics

FIRST CALL FOR NOMINATIONS:

The EATCS-IPEC Nerode Prize 2014 for outstanding papers in the area of
multivariate
algorithmics.

*Deadline for Nominations:* January 1, 2014.

*Decision:* May 1, 2014.

The award is presented annually with the presentation taking place at
IPEC (International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation).
IPEC 2014 takes place within ALGO 2014, September 10-12, 2014, Wroclaw,
Poland.

The Prize is named in honor of Anil Nerode in recognition of his major
contributions to mathematical logic, theory of automata, computability,
and complexity theory.

In 2013, the prize was awarded for the first time, see
http://eatcs.org/index.php/nerode-prize.

*Award Committee *

The winning paper(s) is selected by a committee of three members. This
year's committee consists of the following three people.

Georg Gottlob (Oxford University), georg.gottlob@cs.ox.ac.uk
Jan Arne Telle (University of Bergen), telle@ii.uib.no
Peter Widmayer (ETH Zurich, chair), widmayer@inf.ethz.ch

The Award Committee is solely responsible for the selection of the
winner of the award which may be shared by more than one paper or series
of papers. The Award Committee reserves the right to declare no winner
at all.

*Eligibility *

Any research paper or series of research papers by a single author or by
a team of authors published in a recognized refereed journal. The year
of publication should be at least two years and at most ten years before
the year of the award nomination. The research work nominated for the
award should be in the area of multivariate algorithms and complexity
meant in a broad sense, and encompasses, but is not restricted to, those
areas covered by IPEC. The Award Committee has the ultimate authority to
decide on the eligibility of a nomination. Papers authored by a member
of the Award Committee are not eligible for nomination.

*Nominations *

Nominations may be made by any member of the scientific community
including the members of the Award Committee. A nomination should
contain a brief summary of the technical content of each nominated paper
and a brief explanation of its significance. Nominations are done by an
email to the Award Committee Chair with copies to the members of the
committee.

Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Risk Analysis
Department of Management Science, University of Strathclyde

We seek a highly motivated and suitably qualified post-doctoral researcher to support our development of a new method which we call strategic dynamic Bayesian networks for modelling supply chain risk and resilience.

The appropriate person will have a PhD in a numerate subject and expertise in an area such as game theory, management science, stochastic or statistical modelling.

Our project is funded for 3 years by the UK EPSRC research council and is a collaboration with the universities of Bristol, Coventry and Nottingham, which have teams with complementary expertise in the mathematics of complex networks, operational research and supply chain management. This is an exciting and ambitious project with industrial involvement from companies such as Rolls Royce, DSTL, PA Consulting, Tricorn, Nautricity.

Further details can be found at https://ben.mis.strath.ac.uk/vacancies/control/vacancylist?vacCat=R.

Informal enquiries can be made to Professor Lesley Walls (lesley.walls@strath.ac.uk, +44 141 548 3616) or Professor John Quigley (j.quigley@strath.ac.uk, +44 141 548 3152).
