AIMS:

AlCoB aims at promoting and displaying excellent research using string and
graph algorithms and combinatorial optimization to deal with problems in
biological sequence analysis, genome rearrangement, evolutionary trees, and
structure prediction.

The conference will address several of the current challenges in
computational biology by investigating algorithms aimed at: 1) assembling
sequence reads into a complete genome, 2) identifying gene structures in the
genome, 3) recognizing regulatory motifs, 4) aligning nucleotides and
comparing genomes, 5) reconstructing regulatory networks of genes, and 6)
inferring the evolutionary phylogeny of species.

Particular focus will be put on methodology and significant room will be
reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Eighth IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on
Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications (AOC 2014)
June 16, 2014 - Sydney, Australia
http://aoc2014.conference.nicta.com.au
Fast Track on Computer Communication Journal
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom
**** Submission Deadline --- March 7, 2014 ****
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The recent proliferation of sensor-rich portable devices is enabling
novel communication paradigms for users and contributing to the
implementation of the ubiquitous computing and networking vision.
Opportunistic networking represents a key communication paradigm for
this vision. Either as a standalone communication mode or as a
complement to infrastructure-based communication, opportunistic
networking leverages the mobility of end users to enhance their ability
to communicate in the absence of reliable end-to-end connectivity.
Opportunistic networking opens up many possibilities but also poses
countless new challenges. The goal of the AOC 2014 workshop is to serve
as a forum for researchers, professionals, application developers, and
other experts from both academia and industry to exchange new ideas,
discuss new solutions, and share their experiences. As with previous
editions, this year's workshop is particularly interested in novel
research directions, such as service composition techniques,
co-existence with infrastructure networks, and insights from game
theory, social networking analysis, and cognitive psychology. The
workshop will solicit original papers addressing theoretical and
practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications as well
as papers describing prototype implementations and deployments.

Topics of interest for AOC 2014 include, but are not limited to:
* Routing, transport, and reliability issues
* Techniques for data dissemination and replication
* Applications and middleware support, mobile social networking
applications
* Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces
* Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms
* Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile
wireless networks
* Service composition in autonomic and opportunistic networks
* Cognition-driven information processing and decision making
* Performance modelling, scaling laws, and fundamental limits for
autonomic and opportunistic communications
* Game-theoretical insights to the operation of autonomic and
opportunistic networks
* Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic
networks
* Trust, security, and reputation
* Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and prototypes,
measurement data from real experiments
* Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications
* Mobile Social networks

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
================================

Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently
under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited
to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to
the template format.

Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by
IEEE. There will be no separate workshop registration, as one single
registration will cover both conference and workshops participation. At
least one author of each accepted

paper is required and present his/her work at the workshop. We will use
a free submission system for processing the submissions and reviews.
Extended versions of the selected workshop papers will be considered for
possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal
(Elsevier).

The development of smart vehicles and more sustainable transportation systems has emerged as one of the most fundamental societal challenges of the next decade. At the same time, automotive manufacturers are striving to make vehicles safer and more environmentally friendly to fulfil consumers' expectations and new regulations. To revolutionise our mobile lifestyle towards a more sustainable and connected future it is of paramount importance to develop innovative cooperative systems enabling road users and other actors to exchange information in real time and in an autonomous manner, pervasive sensing to monitor the status of vehicles and the surroundings, big data analytics for the processing of sheer amount of data coming from the transportation infrastructure, middleware platforms for information management and sharing, and appropriate interaction interfaces between drivers and vehicles. Clearly, the seamless integration between mobile devices, vehicular communication netw!
orks, and information and transportation systems will face a number of technical, economical and regulatory challenges.

Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting recent developments, current research challenges and future directions in the use of networking, communications, data management, and applications to realise vehicular mobility systems that are more connected, sustainable and safe.

Topics of interest for SmartVehicles 2014 include, but are not limited to:

+ Vehicular Network as a Sensor Network;
+ V2V, V2I and V2X communications
+ Vehicular mobility support in next-generation wireless technologies
+ Communications protocol design (MAC, routing, data dissemination)
+ Data storage, management, and retrieval in vehicular networks
+ Solutions to connect vehicles with the Internet
+ Big data analytics for ITS applications
+ Security and privacy in ITS applications
+ Multimedia applications, infotainment
+ Cooperative driving, autonomous and smart vehicles
+ Traffic management and efficiency applications
+ Electrification of transportation systems
+ Simulation environments, experimental testbeds, field operational tests
+ Mobile (smart) device integration in vehicles and transport systems
+ Integration of cloud technologies in ITS applications

***********

The motivation for many of current projects in the group derives from
the extraordinary recent advances in sequencing technologies that
allow the measurement of genomic features (DNA sequence, methylation,
etc.) in an unprecedented number of samples. For example, recent
cancer sequencing studies have measured all DNA mutations in thousands
of patients. The analysis of such massive datasets poses a number of
challenges requiring the design of new computational methods and
statistical learning approaches. Such methods need to be efficient,
scalable, and to provide guarantees on the statistical significance of
their output.

The successful applicant will be working in developing efficient
algorithms and mathematical models (based, among others, on
combinatorial optimization and/or machine learning techniques) for
high-throughput sequencing data and other massive molecular datasets.?
Most of the topics recently explored in the group are related to the
analysis of cancer genomes, and include:
* the discovery of cancer-associated subnetworks of large gene/protein
interaction networks by extracting subgraphs mutated in a significant
number of patients;
* the extraction of sets of mutations associated with cancer by
finding combinatorial patterns (e.g., exclusivity) of mutations;
* the accurate identification of significant associations between
cancer survival and genome-wide measurements of genomic features;
* the extraction of significant sequence and structural motifs from
massive datasets.

The successful candidate will have:
* a good master's level degree in computer science,
bioinformatics/computational biology, mathematics, biostatistics,
physics, or a related discipline;
* good programming skills (e.g., Python, Java, C/C++);
* excellent writing skills;
* fluency in English;
* interest in evaluating biological datasets;
* interest in working in an interdisciplinary setting.
?
The successful applicant will have the opportunity to work in an
international, stimulating and interdisciplinary environment, and be
part of the bioinformatics interest community. ?The Department of
Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Southern Denmark
is located in Odense, the third largest city in Denmark, about one
hour from Copenhagen.

Call for Applications

July 20-24, 2014
Vienna, Austria
http://www.kr.org/KR2014/

The 14th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2014) invites PhD students to apply for the Doctoral Consortium program.

1) AIMS AND SCOPE

The Doctoral Consortium is a student mentoring program that introduces students to senior researchers with similar research interests. The aims of the consortium are:

* to provide a forum for students to present their current research, and receive feedback from other students and senior researchers;
* to promote contacts among PhD students working in similar areas;
* to support students with information and advice on academic, research and industrial careers.

The Doctoral Consortium is intended for students who have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, but who have sufficient time prior to completing their dissertation to benefit from the consortium experience.

We encourage submissions from PhD students at any level, and from any topic area within Knowledge Representation and Reasoning.

A number of student grants will be available to support student participation.

2) APPLICATION SUBMISSION

Applications must be submitted via our online submission site (see below). Each application must contain the following materials:

* Thesis summary: A description of the problem being addressed, your motivation for addressing the problem, proposed plan of research, the progress to date (what you have already achieved and what remains to be done), and related work. It must be four pages maximum in AAAI style (http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php).
* Curriculum Vitae: A description of your background and relevant experience (research, education, employment).
* Letter of recommendation: A letter from your thesis advisor that states that he/she supports your participation in the DC.
* (Optional) You can suggest 3-5 potential mentors with similar research interests as you, who could give you good advice on technical aspects of your work, and/or your career.
* (Optional) Specify 3 to 5 questions you would like to ask your mentor and give some keywords that describe you research interests

The most preferred way of submission is to combine the thesis summary and the letter of recommendation (and, optionally, the list of suggested mentors) into a single PDF document. If you cannot do that, archive the documents into a single zip file. In either case, the resulting single file has to be submitted via the EasyChair system at

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2014dc

3) IMPORTANT DATES

Feb 21, 2014 : Deadline for application
March 28, 2014 : Acceptance notification
July 20-24, 2014 : Doctoral Consortium

TCS 2014
8th IFIP International Conference on Theoretical Computer Science
September 1-3, 2014 Rome, Italy
http://www.cyprusconferences.org/tcs2014/

Held in conjunction with the 25th Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2014)

We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message.

AIM AND SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE:

Under the patronage of the International Federation of Information
Processing (IFIP), since year 2000 the IFIP Technical Committee 1
(Foundations of Computer Science) has organized a series of biannual
international conferences in Theoretical Computer Science. After
Sendai (2000), Montreal (2002), Toulouse (2004), Santiago (2006),
Milano (2008), Brisbane (2010), and Amsterdam (2012), the 8th edition
will be held in Rome in September 2014, in cooperation with the IFIP
Working Group 2.2 (Formal Description of Programming Concepts) and in
conjunction with the 25th Conference on Concurrency Theory. We call
for papers in all areas of Theoretical Computer Science: they will be
evaluated by two committees:

Track A: Algorithms, Complexity and Models of Computation

Track B: Logic, Semantics, Specification and Verification

TOPICS:

Suggested, but not exclusive, topics of interest include:

Track A - analysis and design of algorithms; automata and formal
languages; cellular automata and systems; combinatorial, graph and
optimization algorithms; computational learning theory; computational
complexity; computational geometry; cryptography; descriptive
complexity; evolutionary and genetic computing; experimental
algorithms; mobile computing; molecular computing and algorithmic
aspects of bioinformatics; network computing; neural computing;
parallel and distributed algorithms; probabilistic and randomized
algorithms; quantum computing; structural information and
communication complexity.

Track B - automata theory; automated deduction; constructive and
non-standard logics in computer science; concurrency theory and
foundations of distributed and mobile computing; database theory;
finite model theory; formal aspects of program analysis, foundations
of hybrid and real-time systems; lambda and combinatory calculi;
logical aspects of computational complexity; modal and temporal
logics; model checking and verification; probabilistic systems; logics
and semantics of programs; foundations of security; term rewriting;
specifications; type, proof and category theory in computer science.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of at most 15 pages
(LNCS style with at least 11-point font size) to arrive before April
27, 2014. If more space is needed, a clearly marked appendix, to be
read at the discretion of the program committee, may be included if
desired. Submission will be handled by EasyChair. Further information
and submission details can be found on the Conference web page.
Simultaneous submissions to other conferences with published
proceedings are not allowed.

PROCEEDINGS:

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Selected papers from
TCS 2014 will be invited to a special issue of the Journal Theoretical
Computer Science.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Deadline for submission: April 27, 2014.
Notification of acceptance: June 25, 2014.
Final manuscript due: July 6, 2014.
