2014 TARRAGONA INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL ON TRENDS IN COMPUTING
SSTiC 2014
Tarragona, Spain
July 7-11, 2014
Organized by
Rovira i Virgili University
http://grammars.grlmc.com/sstic2014/
*********************************************************************
AIM:
SSTiC 2014 is the second edition in a series started in 2013. For the
previous event, see http://grammars.grlmc.com/SSTiC2013/
SSTiC 2014 will be a research training event mainly addressed to PhD
students and PhD holders in the first steps of their academic career. It
intends to update them about the most recent developments in the diverse
branches of computer science and its neighbouring areas. To that purpose,
renowned scholars will lecture and will be available for interaction with
the audience.
SSTiC 2014 will cover the whole spectrum of computer science through 5
keynote lectures and 30 six-hour courses dealing with the hottest topics in
the field. The organizers share the idea that outstanding speakers will
really attract high-quality students.
ADDRESSED TO:
Graduate students from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites
in terms of the academic degree the attendee must hold. However, since there
will be several levels in the courses, reference may be made to specific
knowledge background in the description of some of them.
SSTiC 2014 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep
themselves updated on developments in their own field or in other branches
of computer science. They will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss
with scholars who are main references in computing nowadays.
REGIME:
In addition to keynotes, 3 parallel sessions will be held during the whole
event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they will be
willing to attend as well as to move from one to another.
VENUE:
SSTiC 2014 will take place in Tarragona, located 90 kms. to the south of
Barcelona. The venue will be:
Campus Catalunya
Universitat Rovira i Virgili
Av. Catalunya, 35
43002 Tarragona

REGISTRATION:
It has to be done at
http://grammars.grlmc.com/sstic2014/registration.php
The selection of up to 8 courses requested in the registration template is
only tentative and non-binding. For the sake of organization, it will be
helpful to have an approximation of the respective demand for each course.
Since the capacity of the venue is limited, registration requests will be
processed on a first come first served basis. The registration period will
be closed when the capacity of the venue will be complete. It is very
convenient to register prior to the event.
FEES:
As far as possible, participants are expected to attend for the whole (or
most of the) week (full-time). Fees are a flat rate allowing one to attend
all courses. They vary depending on the registration deadline.
If seats will still be available, shortly prior to the event attending only
a few days (part-time) may be permitted, with the appropriate adjustment of
the fees.
ACCOMMODATION:
Information about accommodation will be available on the website of the
School in due time.
CERTIFICATE:
Participants will be delivered a certificate of attendance.

== About the Book ==
Research into artificial intelligence (AI) and computational
intelligence (CI) started in the 1950s and has been growing ever since.
The main focus of the research is to provide computers with the capacity
to perform tasks that are believed to require human intelligence. The
field is in constant need of good benchmark problems. Games provide a
plethora of tough and interesting challenges for AI and CI, including
developing artificial players, computationally creative systems that
construct game content, agents that adapt to players, and systems that
analyse and learn about players from their in-game behaviour.
In May 2012, around 40 world-leading experts convened in Schloss
Dagstuhl, Germany, to discuss future research directions and important
research challenges for AI and CI in games. This book is the follow-up
volume to that seminar, which collects the distilled results of the
discussions that went on during those May days.
This book consists of 8 chapters. Each chapter is the outcome of a
particular discussion group. In editing this volume, we have chosen to
arrange the chapters so that they start with the more generic problems
and methods and proceed to more specific applications. However, the web
of interdependence between work on these topics is dense, with games for
mobile platforms relying on pathfinding, general game playing on
procedural content generation, procedural content generation on player
modelling, etc.

Subject: [DMANET] Visiting PhD student positions at KTH Royal
Institute of Technology
Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8
The Theory Group at KTH Royal Institute of Technology
(http://www.csc.kth.se/tcs/) invites applications for visiting PhD student
positions during 2014. These positions are intended for PhD students with
a strong research record who would like to spend part of their PhD program
in another research environment. The students will be hosted by Per
Austrin (http://www.csc.kth.se/~austrin/), Johan Hastad
(http://www.csc.kth.se/~johanh/), and/or Jakob Nordstrom
(http://www.csc.kth.se/~jakobn/), depending on profile and research
interests.
The default set-up would assume that the PhD students receive some kind of
basic salary/support from their home institutions, and that the Theory
Group at KTH covers any extra costs involved with the visit to Stockholm
(travel expenses, accommodation, living expenses, et cetera). Other
arrangements can also be considered. The duration of stay could be from a
couple of months up to a full term.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, but to be considered for the
early spring term it would help to contact us in December. Please send us
an e-mail at visiting-phd@csc.kth.se with a CV and a brief research
statement as attachments, and also include the names of two reference
persons whom we can contact.
Informal inquiries about the visiting PhD positions are welcome and may be
sent to visiting-phd@csc.kth.se.
