Dear all,

Technical University of Madrid offers a Ph.D. studentship for 3 years in
the context of the FP7 ONTIC project.

-----------------------------
TITLE
-----------------------------
Online Network Traffic Classification

-----------------------------
KEYWORDS
-----------------------------
Big Data Analytics, Scalability, Network Traffic Classification, Data
Stream Mining, Machine Learning

-----------------------------
RESEARCH DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------
The research will be conducted at the Technical University of Madrid,
within the Internet Next Generation Research Group at E.T.S. Sistemas
Informaticos and funded by the ONTIC European Project (FP7).

Accurate identification and categorization of network traffic according
to application type is an important element of many network management
and engineering tasks related with QoS, capacity planning and detection
of network attacks.

Terabytes of data may be transferred through the core network of a
typical ISP every day. Moreover, it is expected an exponential growth of
more than 50 billions of connected devices to Internet. Therefore, this
scenario hampers network data capture and analysis.

ONTIC (Online Network TraffIc Characterization) project investigates:

1)
A novel architecture of scalable mechanisms and techniques to be
able to a) characterize online network traffic data streams, identifying
traffic patterns evolution, and b) proactively detecting anomalies in
real time when hundreds of thousands of packets per second are
processed.

2)
A completely new set of scalable offline data mining mechanisms and
techniques to characterize network traffic, applying a Big Data
analytics approach and using distributed computation paradigms in the
cloud on extremely large network traffic summary datasets consisting on
trillions of records.

Under the context of the project, the proposed Ph.D. project aims at
investigating and proposing a new set of online and offline algorithms
and machine learning techniques to build autonomous network traffic
characterization systems while tackling scalability and real time
network traffic issues in a Big Data analytics scenario.

*Call for Papers*

SPECIAL ISSUE ON PARAMETERIZED COMPLEXITY

Manuscripts are invited for a Special Issue on Parameterized Complexity published by the "Tsinghua Science and Technology".
The field of parameterized complexity is a vibrant research area and has witnessed a tremendous growth in the last two decades.
It has become a central area in theoretical computer science, with applications to bioinformatics, artificial intelligence and many other areas.

The Special Issue invites regular and survey papers pertaining to parameterized complexity, for example, Design and analysis of
parameterized and kernelization algorithms, Complexity and lower bounds, Connections between parameterized complexity and
approximation. Other topics in parameterized complexity are also welcome.

The Special Issue will have a dedication to Professor Janier Chen, Texas A&M University and Central South University of China,
on the occasion of his 60th birthday, in recognition of his valuable contributions to the field of parameterized complexity.

"Tsinghua Science and Technology" began publication in 1996. It is an international academic journal published bimonthly by
Tsinghua University, one of the most prestigious universities in China. This journal aims at presenting state-of-art scientific
achievements in computer science and other IT fields. "Tsinghua Science and Technology" has published fourteen Special Issues
and Special Sections on hot topics. They are available at http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=5971803.
