Dear Colleagues,

I am organizing a special session on "Stowage Planning" under the "Port
Operations" stream, and I would like to invite you to submit and abstract
and participate in the discussion.

Research interest in stowage planning has grown in the last couple of
years and this could be a great opportunity for the interested community
to meet, discuss and make collaborations.

Deadline for submission is January 31. The session code is 30189de1.

Best regards,


Dario Pacino

***********************************************
CWI, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Two open PhD positions and one postdoc position

***********************************************

Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) has vacancies in the Network & Optimization research group for two
PhD students and one postdoc in the research project

"Approximation Algorithms, Quantum Information and Semidefinite Optimization?.

This research project aims to explore the limits of efficient computation within classical and quantum computing, using semidefinite optimization as a main unifying tool. The positions involve research into the mathematical and computer science aspects of approximation algorithms for discrete optimization, quantum entanglement in communication, and complexity of fundamental problems in classical and quantum computing.
The project will be carried out in collaboration between Monique Laurent from the CWI Networks & Optimization research group, Ronald de Wolf from the CWI Algorithms & Complexity research group, and Nikhil Bansal from the department of mathematics and computer science of the Technical University Eindhoven. The positions are funded through an NWO-TOP grant.
More information about the project can be found at the website:

http://projects.cwi.nl/quantumdsp/

The PhD students will start around September 2014. For details about the application procedure please visit the website:

http://www.cwi.nl/jobs/phd-student-in-research-project-approximation-algorithms-quantum-information-and-semidefinite-o

The postdoc may start in the fall 2014. For details about the application procedure please visit the website:
