-----------------------------------------
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
-----------------------------------------
Plenty of hard problems in a wide range of areas including engineering
design, telecommunications, logistics, biology, etc., have been
modeled and tackled successfully with optimization approaches. These
approaches fall into two major categories: meta-heuristics
(evolutionary algorithms, particle swarm, ant or bee colonies,
simulated annealing, Tabu search, etc.) and exact methods
(Branch-and-X, dynamic programming, etc.).

Nowadays, optimization problems become increasingly large and complex,
forcing the use of parallel computing for their efficient and
effective resolution. On the other hand, multi and many-core computing
(e.g. GPU, FPGA) has recently undergone a significant evolution with
the emergence of new high performance computing environments. Indeed,
multi and many-core computing are provided in laptops, high
performance workstations, clusters, grids, and clouds.

The design and implementation of parallel optimization methods raise
several issues related to the characteristics of these methods and
those of the new hardware execution environments at the same time.
This workshop seeks to provide an opportunity for the researchers to
present their original contributions on the joint use of advanced
(discrete or continuous, single or multi-objective, static or dynamic,
deterministic or stochastic, hybrid) optimization methods and
distributed and/or parallel multi/many-core computing, and any related
issues.

-----------------------------------------
The POMM Workshop topics of interest include (but are not limited to)
the following:
-----------------------------------------
- Parallel models for optimization methods.
- Parallel mechanisms for hybridization of optimization methods.
- Redesign of parallel real or simulation-based optimization algorithms.
- Implementation issues of parallel optimization algorithms.
- Parallel-aware frameworks for parallel optimization techniques.
- Computational studies reporting results for hard and challenging
optimization problems.
- Issues and novel approaches and experiments in parallel solving
real-world applications.
- Theory and performance metrics for parallel optimization.

-----------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSION
-----------------------------------------
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on
above and other topics related to Parallel Computing for Simulation
and Optimization. Submitted papers must not have been published or
simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover

FIRST ANNUAL WORKSHOP ON METAHEURISTIC DESIGN PATTERNS (MetaDeeP-2014)
to be held as part of the 2014 Genetic and Evolutionary Computation
Conference (GECCO-2014) Vancouver, BC, Canada, July 12-16, 2014
Organized by ACM SIGEVO http://www.sigevo.org/gecco-2014/

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 28th, 2014

Workshop URL:
http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~jsw/metaheuristic-design-patterns/MDPWorkshop2014.htm
----------------------------------------------------------

You've (presumably) received this email because you're interested in EC
and/or metaheuristics:

* Do you have an idea about how metaheuristics could be better
hybridized or generated?
* Have you observed some commonality (e.g. across frameworks or
methodologies) that is not yet widely recognized?
* Are you frustrated when researchers don?t follow best practices that
are well-understood in your field?

If so, then you should attend MetaDeeP 2014 ? the first Workshop on
Metaheuristic Design Patterns.

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

Why Design Patterns?
----------------------------------------------------------

Over the last 20 years, Evolutionary Computation (and meta- and hyper-
heuristics in general) has flourished, spawning an enormous variety of
algorithms, operators and representations.The history of science and
mathematics demonstrates that such proliferation is inevitable in a
growing field, but that in order to progress non-incrementally it is
periodically necessary to obtain a unifying perspective.

Existing EC/metaheuristic frameworks provide a certain level of
abstraction, but these are not generally sufficient to capture
higher-level or cross-cutting concerns such as the automatic design of
metaheuristics "in the large" (c.f. Dijkstra on software componentization).

The "Design Patterns" revolution in 1994 was successful in addressing
analogous issues in the software industry. The default level of
discourse among practitioners was consequently significantly increased,
and today ?factory method? or ?chain of responsibility? are software
engineers? lingua franca, immensely facilitating communication and
design of software systems.

The workshop organizers strongly believe that the EC/metaheuristics
community needs and deserves a corresponding breakthrough. The domain of
metaheuristics has good mathematical and conceptual foundations, so
nothing precludes the creation of a coherent and useful set of concepts
to help move metaheuristics up an abstraction level. For instance,
hyper-heuristics can be considered as the well-known composite pattern
as applied to metaheuristics. Framing recurring methodological and
algorithmic themes in terms of such Metaheuristic Design Patterns (MDP)
has been advocated in a recent lecture [1] and several papers [2,3]?
similar desires have also been expressed elsewhere [4].

This workshop provides a forum for those interested in contributing to
the MDP vision and/or willing to demonstrate its usefulness in practical
and theoretical studies.

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

Topics and Themes
----------------------------------------------------------

The workshop welcomes original submissions on all applications of design
patterns to metaheuristics, which include (but are not limited to) the
following topics and themes:

- Applications of existing design patterns (e.g. from [5]) to
metaheuristics. Some examples are given in [1,4] and on the Workshop
website.
- New metaheuristic design patterns: algorithms and methodologies that
might be expected to be widely applicable but which have not yet been
documented at the appropriate level of abstraction.
- Automation of metaheuristic design via patterns. There is a wealth of
pattern literature in the (Search-Based) Software Engineering community
related to software automation. Much of this is directly applicable to
metaheuristic design.
- Pattern languages for metaheuristics. See [4] for the definitive example.

Further details (and examples) are available at the Workshop website:

Laboratoire d?Informatique de Grenoble

Research Group on Mathematical Linguistics (GRLMC)
Rovira i Virgili University

http://grammars.grlmc.com/slsp2014/

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

AIMS:

SLSP is a yearly conference series aimed at promoting and displaying
excellent research on the wide spectrum of statistical methods that are
currently in use in computational language or speech processing. It aims at
attracting contributions from both fields. Though there exist large,
well-known conferences and workshops hosting contributions to any of these
areas, SLSP is a more focused meeting where synergies between subdomains and
people will hopefully happen. In SLSP 2014, significant room will be
reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career and particular
focus will be put on methodology.

VENUE:

SLSP 2014 will take place in Grenoble, at the foot of the French Alps.

SCOPE:

The conference invites submissions discussing the employment of statistical
methods (including machine learning) within language and speech processing.
The list below is indicative and not exhaustive:

Subject: [DMANET] Post-doc positions in Copenhagen, Denmark
Message-ID: <63B1881E-60C1-445C-A4A5-16AB6EF7A8CD@itu.dk>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

The Scalable Similarity Search (SSS) project led by Professor Rasmus Pagh is seeking 3 post-docs with a strong background in algorithms theory, combinatorics, or statistics. Positions are for 1-2 years, with starting date in late summer/early fall, 2014. The aim of the project is to improve theory and practice of algorithms for high-dimensional similarity search on big data, and to extend similarity search algorithms to work in settings where data is distributed (using a communication complexity perspective) or uncertain (using a statistical perspective). A post-doc position may include a long-term visit to a project partner (at Berkeley, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, or HKUST) if all parties find the visit beneficial.

Application deadline: April 14, 23:59 CET
