The Warsaw Center of Mathematics and Computer Science has several open
postdoctoral positions. The deadline for applications is March 15. You
will find more information here: http://www.wcmcs.edu.pl/node/41

Please note that:

* the graph theory and algorithms community at the University of
Warsaw is large and growing (http://zaa.mimuw.edu.pl/),

* the monthly allowance is ample given the cost of living in Warsaw
(http://bit.ly/16VtFxH),

* calls for postdoctoral positions are expected twice a year until 2017,

* along with calls for visting PhD students
(http://www.wcmcs.edu.pl/node/40) and experienced researchers
(http://www.wcmcs.edu.pl/node/64).


Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.


Best regards,

Marcin Kami?ski (mjk@mimuw.edu.pl)

CFP: SWANSITY 2014- Self-organizing Wireless Access Networks for Smart cITY
>>>>> In conjuction with SECON 2014 <<<<<
================================================================================
30 June 2014, Singapore


https://sites.google.com/site/swansity2014


The SWANSITY workshop aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to make a city-wide network infrastructure able to self-adapt to the dynamic requirements posed by the users and by the applications, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments. At the same time, beside studying the issues of the city-wide infrastructure deployment, the workshop aims to investigate the potential provided by the end-users devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets) when augmented with self-organization capabilities, in order to turn them into active components of the smart-city network, instead of mere connection end- points. Such a potential includes the possibility to extend the network access in a pervasive way, to provide ubiquitous computing services, and to favor the emergence of ?collectivity intelligence behaviors? thr!
ough collaboration and direct communication among devices.
In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following:

* Models of network components? interactions on a smart-city
* Techniques and tools for modeling self-organizing wireless networks on large-scale urban environments
* Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access
* Self-organizing and self-repairing wireless networks for disaster recovery
* Dynamic resource allocation schemes for urban environments
* Evolutionary design of wireless network components and devices
* Enabling technologies and algorithms for self-configuring wireless nodes
* Self-organizing femtocell and cognitive radio networks
* Cooperative Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks Interoperability
* Decision making strategies for software defined radio devices
* Emerging collective intelligence in self-organizing wireless networks
* Network virtualization for heterogeneous wireless networks
* Bio-inspired models for self-organizing wireless networks
* Controlled mobility algorithms for self-placing wireless networks
* Self-organizing networks through Device-2-Device technology (D2D)
* Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing
* Security, Privacy and Trust issues in Self-organizing wireless networks

Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of 31 March 2014. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS. All submissions must be written in English and be at most six (6) printed pages in length, including figures.

Final Call for Papers -- deadline approaching: February 28th, 2014
Discrete Applied Mathematics
Special Issue: Distance Geometry and Applications

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

Distance Geometry (DG) is an area of research that is already
consolidated, where Mathematics and Computer Science are the key areas
at its foundation. The concept of distance is essential to the human
experience and DG puts this concept as the main object in a given
geometric structure. The fundamental problem of DG is to find a set of
points in a given geometric space whose distances between some of these
points are known.

All interested researchers are invited to contribute to this special
issue. The topics of submitted papers should be related to the themes of
the Workshop on Distance Geometry and Applications (DGA13), that was
held in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, on June 24-27, 2013. Submissions of
contributions not presented at the workshop are also welcome. All
articles will be thoroughly refereed according to the high standards of
Discrete Applied Mathematics.

The full papers must be submitted through the Elsevier Editorial System
(http://ees.elsevier.com/dam). When submitting your paper, be sure to
specify that the paper is a contribution for the Special Issue, and
select the article type ?Special Issue: DGA13? so that your paper is
assigned to the guest editors. Please see the Author Instructions on the
site if you have not yet submitted a paper through this web-based system.

The deadline for submission is February 28th, 2014. All accepted papers
will be published online individually, before print publication.
Information about the special issue and instructions for the submission
can be found on DGA13 workshop's website at the address:
http://dga2013.icomp.ufam.edu.br/index.php/publication

Looking forward to receiving your contribution.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Dear Colleagues,

we would like to invite submissions to the upcoming special issue

Parameterized Algorithmics - Challenges from Real-World Applications
http://www.mdpi.com/si/algorithms/Parameterized_Algorithmics

of the open access journal Algorithms (ISSN 1999-4893,
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms). The submission deadline
is 31 May 2014, but you may send your manuscript at any time before
then. If you plan to contribute a research or review article, please send
a short abstract to the Editorial Office (algorithms@mdpi.com).

A detailed call for submissions can be found below.

We look forward to your contributions.

Call for submissions:

Over the last decade, parameterized complexity analysis for NP-hard
problems
has developed into one of the most prospering areas in algorithms and
complexity
research. So far, the main research focus is on purely theoretical
analysis (mostly
concerning graph-theoretic problems).

However, practical success often relies on one or more of the following
aspects:

* The problem under study occurs in real-world applications and
ideally
comes along with real-world data for testing.
* The considered parameterization yields small parameter values in
real-world
instances.
* The running time analysis accounts for the combinatorial
explosion behind
exponential parameter functions, as well as for polynomial
running time factors in
the overall input size.

We invite submissions that address one or more of the aforementioned
points in
analyzing the parameterized complexity of NP-hard problems, which arises
from
application areas including (but not limited to) network analysis
(biological, social,
and technical), computational geometry, SAT solving, bioinformatics, string
problems, operations research and combinatorial optimization, computational
social choice, data clustering, and mining.

We particularly welcome submissions that introduce new but practically
relevant
problem formulations and/or parameterizations, present linear-time fixed-
parameter tractability and/or kernelization results, or that take into
account
aspects of algorithm engineering. In particular, such aspects could
include the
measurement or estimation of parameter values in real-world data.
Finally, feature
papers or surveys addressing some of the above aspects are also of
interest.

Keywords
* NP-hard problems
* exact algorithms
* fixed-parameter tractability
* kernelization and data reduction
* efficient algorithms
* algorithm engineering

The deadline for submission is 31 May 2014, but you may send your
manuscript
at any time before then. All submissions are peer-reviewed and accepted
papers
will be published immediately. If you plan to contribute, please send a
short
abstract to the Editorial Office (algorithms@mdpi.com).

Algorithms is an open access journal, which has no income from selling
subscriptions. To defray the editorial and production costs, the journal
levies an
Article Processing Charge (APC) for accepted papers. Please refer to
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/apc/ for more information. The
charge
currently is of 300 CHF (Swiss Francs) per accepted paper.
