POSTDOCS

for the Algorithms and Complexity Department

directed by Kurt Mehlhorn

We are looking for applicants from all areas of algorithmics, including
related areas like computer algebra, complexity theory, and discrete
mathematics. We are also explicitly looking for people interested in
computational geometry and topology, algorithm engineering and the
design and implementation of algorithm libraries.

The Max-Planck-Institute for Informatics is located on the campus
of the Universitaet des Saarlandes in Saarbruecken, Germany. Currently,
around 40 researchers from several nationalities work in the Algorithms
and Complexity Department. Our working language is English. The group
collaborates with several of the major research institutions in Europe
and the U.S. and has high international visibility. There is generous
travel support available for all group members. Postdoctoral fellowships
are available for one or two years.

Applications from disabled applicants are appreciated. Our institute
supports the principle of equal opportunity for men and women, and is
therefore interested in applications from women.

Applications must be sent by email as a single PDF file to
d1-office <at> mpi-inf.mpg.de by January 5, 2014.
They must include
* a curriculum vitae,
* list of publications,
* the names of three references with their e-mail addresses,
* a research plan (1 page is enough),
* intended period of stay, and
* your two most "interesting" papers (preferably just URLs).

Call for Papers: Diagrams 2014

Eighth International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams

http://www.diagrams-conference.org/2014
diagrams2014@diagrams-conference.org

28th July to 1st August
Swinburne University, Melbourne, Australia

* CALL FOR PAPERS *

Diagrams is an international interdisciplinary conference series,
covering all aspects of research on the theory and application of
diagrams. In 2014 it will be held at Swinburne University, Melbourne,
Australia, from the 28th of July 2014 to the 1st of August 2014.
Diagrams 2014 will be co-located with the IEEE Symposium on Visual
Languages and Human-Centric Computing.

Diagrams is the only conference series that provides a united forum
for all areas that are concerned with the study of diagrams, including
architecture, artificial intelligence, biology, cartography, cognitive
science, computer science, education, graphic design, history of
science, human-computer interaction, linguistics, logic, mathematics,
philosophy, psychology, and software modelling. The conference attracts
a large number of researchers from almost all these related fields,
positioning Diagrams as the major international event in the area.

Diagrams 2014 will include presentations of refereed papers, posters,
tutorials, workshop sessions, and a graduate symposium. We invite
submissions that focus on any aspect of diagrams research, as follows.

- long research papers (15 pages)
- short research papers (7 pages)
- posters (3 pages)
- tutorial proposals (2 pages; see the conference web page for full details)
- workshop proposals (2 pages; see the conference web page for full details)
- graduate symposium submissions (3 pages; see the conference web page
for full details)

All submissions will be fully peer reviewed. The proceedings, which will
include accepted long and short papers and posters, will be published by
Springer in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science series,
http://www.springer.com/lncs.

Full details on the preparation of submissions can be found on the
conference
web site http://www.diagrams-conference.org/2014/submission-instructions

Conference topics include, but are not limited to:
- applications of diagrams
- computational models of reasoning with, and interpretation of, diagrams
- design of diagrammatic notations
- diagram understanding by humans or machines
- diagram aesthetics and layout
- educational uses of diagrams
- evaluation of diagrammatic notations
- graphical communication and literacy
- heterogeneous notations involving diagrams
- history of diagrammatic notations
- information visualization using diagrams
- nature of diagrams and diagramming
- novel technologies for diagram use
- psychological issues pertaining to perception, comprehension or
production of diagrams
- software to support the use of diagrams
- usability and human-computer interaction issues concerning diagrams
