Subject: [DMANET] MADALGO PhD student and Post Doc positions (Deadline

Message-ID: <52554CD3.1080202@cs.au.dk>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; format=flowed
Center for Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO), is a basic research
center funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The center is
located in the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University,
Denmark, but also includes researchers at CSAIL, Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and at
Frankfurt University. The center covers all areas of the design,
analysis and implementation of algorithms and data structures for
processing massive data (interpreted broadly to cover computations where
data is large compared to the computational resources), with focus on
I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious and streaming algorithms. See
www.madalgo.au.dk for more information.
Starting February 1, 2014 or later, several positions are available at
MADALGO under the supervision of Professor Lars Arge
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~large), Associate Professor Gerth S. Brodal
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~gerth) and Assistant Professor Peyman Afshani
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~peyman):
Several PhD student positions are available. The positions are
administered through Graduate School of Science and Technology at Aarhus
University (talent.au.dk/phd/scienceandtechnology) and include full
tuition waiver and a very competitive scholarship. Applications are
welcomed from students with at least three years of full-time study by
February 2014. Students with a strong background in the design and
analysis of algorithms will be preferred. Students with a strong
background in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are also very welcome
to apply.
One or more MADALGO postdoc positions at the level of Research Assistant
Professor of Computer Science are also available. Postdoc positions are
initially for one year, but can be extended with an additional year by
mutual consent. MADALGO welcomes postdoctoral researchers with clearly
demonstrated experience and skills in the design and analysis of
algorithms and data structures. Researchers with experience with
I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious or streaming algorithms, as well as with
implementation of such algorithms (algorithm engineering experience) are
preferred. The responsibilities of MADALGO postdocs include work on
algorithms for massive dataset problems in collaboration with center
researchers, along with modest teaching responsibilities.
The application deadline for both PhD student and postdoc positions is
November 1, 2013. Applicants for PhD student positions should apply
using the Aarhus Graduate School of Science and Technology application
system also accessible from www.madalgo.au.dk. Applicants for postdoc
positions should apply by uploading a letter of interest and a CV, as
well as indicate at least two names of references for recommendations,
using the application form available at www.madalgo.au.dk.
For further information, contact Center Director, Professor Lars Arge at
large@madalgo.au.dk.

Subject: [DMANET] CfP: ITOR special issue on "Hybrid Metaheuristics
and their Applications"
Message-ID: <52555B76.3050009@gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed
The International Transactions in Operational Research (ITOR) will
publish a Special Issue dedicated to ?Hybrid Metaheuristics and their
Applications?. Pure metaheuristics, such as GRASP, VNS, simulated
annealing, evolutionary algorithms, tabu search, ant colony
optimization, scatter search, and iterated local search, are considered
state-of-the-art methods for many problems. In recent years, however, it
has become evident that the concentration on a sole metaheuristic is
rather restrictive. A skilled combination of concepts from different
optimization techniques can provide more efficient algorithms and higher
flexibility when dealing with real-world and large-scale problems.
Hybrid Metaheuristics are therefore techniques for optimization that
combine different metaheuristics or integrate AI/OR techniques into
metaheuristics.
Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics, including but not
limited to:
- Novel combinations of components from different metaheuristics
- Hybridization of metaheuristics and AI/OR techniques
- Low-level hybridization
- High-level hybridization, portfolio techniques, expert systems
- Cooperative search
- Automated parameter tuning
- Empirical and statistical comparison
- Theoretical aspects of hybridization
- Parallelization
- Software libraries
Although we strongly encourage the submission of papers presented at the
8th International Workshop on Hybrid Metaheuristics (HM 2013) that took
place in Ischia (Napoli), Italy, from May 23 to 25, 2013, this Call for
Papers is also open to the entire community of academics and practitioners.
All papers will be peer-reviewed according to the editorial policy of
ITOR (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118505725/home),
published by the International Federation of Operational Research
Societies (IFORS). Papers should be original, unpublished, and not
currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. They should be
prepared according to the instructions to authors that can be found in
the journal homepage. Authors should upload their contributions using
the submission site http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/itor, indicating in
their cover letter that the paper is intended for this special issue.
The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2013. Other inquiries
should be sent directly to any of the Guest Editors in charge of this
issue: Paola Festa (paola.festa@unina.it), Mauricio G.C. Resende
(mgcr@research.att.com), and Ana Viana (aviana@inescporto.pt).
