DEADLINES (note ***CHANGED*** DEADLINE)
=============================================================================

PAPER SUBMISSION (identical for long and short papers):
Abstract due: NOV 20, 2013 11.59 P.M. PST
Paper due: NOV 24, 2013 11.59 P.M. PST
Rebuttal Phase: DEC 20-23, 2013
Final Notification: JAN 10, 2014
Final version due: FEB 10, 2014

=============================================================================

The Eleventh International Conference on Integration of Artificial
Intelligence and Operations Research Techniques in Constraint
Programming will be held in Cork, Ireland, May 19-23, 2014 with
Workshops on May 19th, a Master Class on Data Mining, Machine Learning
and Constraint Programming on May 20, and the Main Conference on May
21-23, 2014.

The aim of the conference is to bring together interested researchers
from Constraint Programming (CP), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and
Operations Research (OR) to present new techniques or new applications
in combinatorial optimization and to provide an opportunity for
researchers in one area to learn about techniques in the others. A
main objective of this conference series is also to give these
researchers the opportunity to show how the integration of techniques
from different fields can lead to interesting results on large and
complex problems. Therefore papers that actively combine, integrate,
or contrast approaches from more than one of the areas are especially
solicited. High quality papers from a single area are also welcome,
provided that they are of interest to other communities involved.
Finally, application papers showcasing CP/AI/OR techniques on
innovative and challenging applications or experience reports on such
applications are strongly encouraged.

The program committee invites submissions that include but are not
limited to the following topics:

* Inference and relaxation methods: constraint propagation, cutting
planes, global constraints, graph algorithms, dynamic programming,
Lagrangean and convex relaxations, heuristic functions based on
constraint relaxation.

* Search methods: branch and bound, intelligent backtracking,
incomplete search, randomized search, column generation and other
decomposition methods, local search, meta-heuristics.

* Integration methods: static/dynamic problem decomposition, solver
communication, transformations between models and solvers,
collaboration between concurrent methods, models, and solvers.

* Modeling methods: comparison of models, symmetry breaking,
uncertainty, dominance relationships.

* Innovative Applications of CP/AI/OR techniques.

* Implementation of CP/AI/OR techniques and optimization systems.


PAPER SUBMISSION


Paper submissions are of two types: Long papers and short papers.

INSTRUCTION FOR LONG PAPERS:
Long papers should present original unpublished work and be at most 15
pages plus references in length, and should be prepared in the format
used for the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). These papers will
undergo rigorous review. The proceedings will be published in the
Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

NOTE: Unlike previous CPAIOR conferences the page limit for long
papers is 15 LNCS pages *plus references*.

INSTRUCTION FOR SHORT PAPERS: Short papers are also encouraged,
limited to 8 LNCS pages plus references and should be prepared with
the same format as long papers
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Although containing
less material, short papers should describe original unpublished work
and will be reviewed to the same criteria of quality as long papers.
It is also encouraged to submit short papers about work in progress on
ideas that are interesting but for which the practical or theoretical
relevance is not yet fully identified. Short papers will be presented
at the conference and published in the conference proceedings.

SUBMISSION NOTES:
All papers are to be submitted electronically in PDF format by
following the instructions at the URL

CALL FOR PAPERS - GraMSec'14
The First International Workshop on Graphical Models for Security
April 12, 2014, Grenoble, France
http://www.gramsec.uni.lu/
(Co-located with ETAPS 2014)

SCOPE
Graphical security models provide an intuitive but systematic
methodology to analyze security weaknesses of systems and to evaluate
potential protection measures. Such models have been subject of
academic research and they have also been widely accepted by the
industrial sector, as a means to support and facilitate threat
analysis and risk management processes. The objective of GraMSec is to
contribute to the development of well-founded graphical security
models, efficient algorithms for their analysis, as well as
methodologies for their practical usage.

TOPICS
The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government
presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of
graphical models for security. The topics of the workshop include, but
are not limited to:
- attack trees, attack graphs, Petri nets for security, Bayesian
networks for security, UML-based models for security,
- security in system models, organizational models, business models,
and methods for (semi-)automatic derivation of attack models from
these,
- methods for quantitative analysis of graphical security models,
- analysis of digital, physical and social (socio-technical) security
aspects using graphical models,
- risk assessment and risk management using graphical security models,
- software tools supporting security analysis using graphical models,
- case studies and experience reports on the use of graphical
methodologies for analysis and evaluation of security of systems.

PAPER SUBMISSION
We solicit two types of submissions:
- Regular papers (up to 15 pages) describing original and unpublished
work within the scope of the workshop.
- Short papers (up to 5 pages) describing work in progress or less
mature results.
Case studies and tool papers are welcome as well. All submissions must
be prepared in LaTeX using the EPTCS macro package available at
http://style.eptcs.org/. Each paper will undergo a thorough review
process. Submissions should be made using the GraMSec'14 easychair web
site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gramsec14

The final versions of accepted regular and short papers will be
published as a volume of Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical
Computer Science (EPTCS). Furthermore, authors of a selection of the
accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their
articles to a special issue of a high-quality journal, after the
workshop.

Participants are also encouraged to submit position statements on
linking industrial needs to academic research questions. The
statements should not exceed one page and they will not undergo the
review process. Based on the statements, a special session will be
organized.

IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: December 6, 2013
Acceptance notification: January 24, 2014
