Vacancy for three PhD students - application deadline May 2014
The ANT/OR Operations Research group of the Department of Engineering
Management, University of Antwerp, Belgium has vacancies for
three pre-doctoral positions (PhD students) in Operations
Research/Management Science
The selected candidates will be hired for a four-year period subject
to yearly evaluation. They will receive a tax-free PhD scholarship of
approximately 1800 euro per month. They will enroll in the doctoral
program of the Faculty of Applied Economics and work towards obtaining
a PhD during the fourth year. Some light teaching/support activities
may also be demanded of the candidate.
The selected candidates will perform research on a specific topic
within the broad domain of Operations Research/Management Science. Two
research topics have already been defined:
- City bike repositioning. Bicycle sharing systems are popping up all
over the world, but bike stations tend to empty out or fill up. The
PhD student selected for this topic will analyze the problem of
repositioning bicycles in a bike sharing system. This research will
entail statistical analysis of demand/supply patterns of bikes at the
different stations, as well as the development of (exact and
metaheuristic) algorithms to optimize the activities of the
repositioning vehicles.
- Smart plant optimization in the petrochemical industry. The PhD
student selected for this topic will develop models and methods for
planning the semi-continuous production of a petrochemical companhy,
also looking at tactical decisions like plant layout and
configuration. Antwerp is the second largest petrochemical cluster in
the world and this research project will be executed in collaboration
with partners from the chemical industry.
Other potential topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Applications of metaheuristics in various fields (especially
transportation and logistics, humanitarian aid, public transportation,
...). The topic will be defined in collaboration with the PhD
supervisor.
- Metaheuristic theory: A large number of different metaheuristics
exist: tabu search, evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing, ant
colony optimization, ... To solve a large number of theoretical and
real-life optimization problems, metaheuristics typically outperform
all other methods. However, very little knowledge is available on why
and how these methods work and an overarching theory of metaheuristic
development is still lacking? The aim of this topic is to work towards
a better theoretical understanding of metaheuristic optimization.
The ideal candidate has a good background in operations research
(www.scienceofbetter.org), statistics, and mathematics, including good
programming skills and a good command of the English language. Typical
activities the candidate will perform are the development of heuristic
optimization algorithms, implementation in a programming environment,
running computational experiments, and analyzing the results
statistically, as well as writing research papers and giving
conference presentations.
The candidates will join the ANT/OR research group (antor.ua.ac.be), a
young and dynamic team of researchers mainly working on applications
of operations research. They will work under the direct supervision of
Prof. Kenneth S?rensen (www.uantwerpen.be/kenneth-sorensen) and/or
prof. Trijntje Cornelissens (www.uantwerpen.be/trijntje-cornelissens).
They will work at the city campus of the University of Antwerp.
Antwerp is a lively city in the center of Europe, well-known for its
history, its fashion and diamond industry, and its generally excellent
quality of life.
To apply, go to http://antor.ua.ac.be/apply and submit your complete
file (instructions can be found on the website). Application deadline
is 1 May 2014 but early application is encouraged. Final-year master
students who have not yet received their degree are also encouraged to
apply when interested. The selected PhD students will be expected to
start working before 1 October 2014.
For more information, contact kenneth.sorensen@uantwerpen.be.

-----------------------------------------
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
page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone
numbers, and email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the
corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN
Registration for the Eleventh International Conference on Integration
of Artificial
Intelligence and Operations Research Techniques in Constraint
Programming (CPAIOR'14)
is now open and can be found on the conference website:
http://4c.ucc.ie/cpaior2014/
Deadline for early registration is March 31.
The aim of the conference is to bring together interested researchers
from Constraint
Programming (CP), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Operations Research
(OR) to present
new techniques or new applications in combinatorial optimization and
to provide an
opportunity for researchers in one area to learn about techniques in
the others. A main
objective of this conference series is also to give these researchers
the opportunity to
show how the integration of techniques from different fields can lead
to interesting
results on large and complex problems.
After a successful series of five CPAIOR international workshops in
Ferrara (Italy),
Paderborn (Germany), Ashford (United Kingdom), Le Croisic (France),
and Montreal (Canada),
in 2004 CPAIOR evolved into a conference. More than 100 participants
attended the first
meeting held in Nice (France). In the subsequent years, CPAIOR was held in
Prague (Czech Republic), Cork (Ireland), Brussels (Belgium), Paris (France),
Pittsburgh (USA), Bologna (Italy), Berlin (Germany), Nantes (France) and
Yorktown Heights (USA).
---------------------------------------
LOCATION:
CPAIOR'14 will be held May 19-23, 2014, in Cork, Ireland.
