The Junior Research Group Combinatorial Image Analysis
at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbruecken, Germany,
invites applications for

2 fully funded Ph.D. positions
Combinatorial Optimization in Image Analysis and Machine Learning

Highly motivated individuals with a very good first degree in
mathematics, computer science or science are encouraged to apply.

A strong background in mathematics and some programming experience are
required for these positions. Knowledge of combinatorial optimization is
a plus. Experience in image analysis and machine learning is desirable
but not required.

The group encourages curiosity-driven research. Candidates define their
own research project together with the group in the beginning of their
Ph.D. program and specify its focus based on their interests during the
second year. Excellent candidates will be given the opportunity to work
as visiting researchers at Harvard University during the summer of their
third year.

Applicants should send to d2-application@mpi-inf.mpg.de one email with
the subject "Ph.D. Position: Combinatorial Optimization in Image
Analysis and Machine Learning", containing the following application
material, preferably in a single PDF document:

- Curriculum Vitae
- List of publications (if applicable)
- List of referees
- Transcripts of master/bachelor program

Applications are now open and are reviewed in the order in which they
are received. This call closes on January 15th, 2014.

The Theoretical Computer Science group at KTH Royal Institute of
Technology invites applications for a PhD position in Theoretical
Computer Science (Algorithms & Complexity).

We are seeking a PhD student in Theoretical Computer Science for the
research project ?Trading Time for Approximation in Optimization? in
the areas of approximation algorithms and exact algorithms.

The application deadline is January 31, 2014. See
http://www.csc.kth.se/~austrin/jobs/D-2013-0775.php for the full, formal
announcement with more information and instructions for how to
apply. Informal enquiries about this position are welcome and may be
sent to Per Austrin (austrin@kth.se).

Best regards,

CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

33rd Annual ACM SIGACT-SIGOPS Symposium on the Principles of
Distributed Computing - PODC 2014

Paris, France, July 15-18, 2014
http://www.podc.org/

The 33rd Annual ACM SIGACT-SIGOPS Symposium on Principles of
Distributed Computing (PODC 2014), which will be held in Paris, France
on July 15-18, 2014, invites proposals for up to 1.5 day workshops that are
closely related to the current scope of the conference or are new emerging
research fields complementing or extending it, including but not restricted to:

- algorithms for distributed systems and their complexity,

- cluster, cloud, grid and high-performance computing,

- communication networks: protocols, architectures, services, applications,

- sensor, mobile, ad-hoc, robot and peer-to-peer networks,

- concurrent programming, synchronization, shared and transactional memory,

- cryptographic protocols and system security,

- distributed operating systems, databases and programming languages,

- dynamic, adaptive and machine learning based distributed algorithms,

- self-stabilizing, self-organizing and autonomic systems,

- formal methods, semantics and verification of concurrent systems,

- fault tolerance, reliability, availability of distributed systems,

- game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing,

- information theory, codes and reliable communication,

- Internet applications, social networks and complex networks,

- multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms,

- nanonetworks and biological distributed algorithms,

- quantum and optics based distributed algorithms.


Workshops will be held in conjunction with PODC on 15 July, in exceptional
cases after the main PODC conference program. Interested members of the
community are invited to send proposals for workshops by email to the workshop
co-chairs:

Dariusz Kowalski <D.Kowalski@liverpool.ac.uk>
Sebastien Tixeuil <Sebastien.Tixeuil@lip6.fr>

The following are required in a workshop proposal:

- Title of the workshop;

- An abstract describing the main focus of the workshop and why it
would be of interest to the PODC community;

- Names and contact information of the organizers;

- Estimated number of submitted and accepted papers, duration of the
workshop, and a brief description of the review process.

Although PODC will provide organizational and administrative support
for the co-located workshops, they must be prepared to bear their own
expenses (e.g., those associated with the meeting rooms and catering).
The budget of PODC and the workshops could be integrated in case of
ACM-based workshops, but the details will need to be worked out.

The proposals should be submitted to the workshop co-chairs as soon as
possible, but no later than

January 6, 2014.

Notification of acceptance will be sent shortly after the deadline.
