PRIVACY IN STATISTICAL DATABASES 2014 (PSD 2014)
================================================

***FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS: HARD SUBMISSION DEADLINE MAY 11, 2014***

Eivissa, Balearic Islands, Sep. 17-19, 2014

http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2014

1. AIMS AND GOALS
-----------------

Privacy in statistical databases is about finding tradeoffs to the
tension between the increasing societal and economical demand for
accurate information and the legal and ethical obligation to protect
the privacy of individuals and enterprises which are the respondents
providing the statistical data. In the case of statistical databases,
the motivation for respondent privacy is one of survival: statistical
agencies or survey institutes cannot expect to collect accurate
information from individual or corporate respondents unless these feel
the privacy of their responses is guaranteed.

Beyond respondent privacy, there are two additional privacy dimensions
to be considered: privacy for the data owners (organizations owning or
gathering the data, who would not like to share the data they have
collected at great expense) and privacy for the users (those who
submit queries to the database and would like their analyses to stay
private).

"Privacy in Statistical Databases 2014" (PSD 2014) is a conference
sponsored and organized by the UNESCO Chair in Data Privacy
(http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat) with proceedings published by
Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer Science. It purpose is to
attract world-wide, high-level research in statistical database
privacy.

PSD 2014 is a successor to PSD 2012 (Palermo, Sep. 26-28, 2012,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2012), PSD 2010 (Corfu, Sep.
22-24, 2010, http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2010), PSD 2008
(Istanbul, Sep. 24-26, 2008,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2008), PSD 2006 (Rome, Dec.
13-15, 2006, http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2006) and PSD 2004
(Barcelona, June 9-11, 2004, http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2004), all
with proceedings published by Springer in LNCS 7556, LNCS 6344, LNCS
5262, LNCS 4302 and LNCS 3050, respectively. Those six PSD conferences
follow a tradition of high-quality technical conferences on SDC which
started with "Statistical Data Protection-SDP'98", held in Lisbon in
1998 and with proceedings published by OPOCE, and continued with the
AMRADS project SDC Workshop, held in Luxemburg in 2001 and with
proceedings published in Springer LNCS 2316.

Like the aforementioned preceding conferences, PSD 2014 originates in
Europe, but wishes to stay a worldwide event in database privacy and
SDC. Thus, contributions and attendees from overseas are welcome.

Semantic Methods in Genetic Programming
A workshop at 13th International Conference on
Parallel Problem Solving from Nature

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

Call for Papers

There's *just over one month left* (31 May 2014) to get your extended
abstracts (max 2 pages) ready for the Semantic Methods in Genetic
Programming Workshop to be held at PPSN in September.

In the last few years a rising topic in GP has been the use of semantic
methods. The aim of this is to provide a way of exploring the
input-output behaviour of programs, which is ultimately what matters for
problem solving. This contrasts with much previous work in GP, where
operators transform the program code and the effect on program behaviour
is indirect. This new approach has produced substantially better results
on a number of problems, both benchmark problems and real-world
applications in areas such as pharmacy; and, has been grounded in a body
of theory, which also informs algorithm design.

The main goal of the workshop is to foster discussions rather than
present finished work. In tradition with the PPSN workshops, the
extended abstracts are not published in the conference proceedings.
However, the organisers will make both abstracts and slides available
online on the workshop webpage. The workshop is associated with a
Special Issue of Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines Journal by
Springer, and provides an opportunity to have an open discussion and
receive feedback in preparation for submission to that special issue.

Scope: All aspects of research related to semantic aspects in GP will be
considered, including:
- analysis and design of GP algorithms involving phenotypes/behaviours
of programs,
- design of problem-specific semantic-aware representations and operators,
- the use of formal semantic-related methods in GP.

This is an ideal opportunity to get some feedback on work in progress,
which you might be considering to submit to the Special Issue of Genetic
Programming & Evolvable Machines on Semantic Methods in GP. Please note
the submission deadline of 19 December 2014 for journal articles.

AIM:

SSTiC 2014 is the second edition in a series started in 2013. For the
previous event, see http://grammars.grlmc.com/SSTiC2013/

SSTiC 2014 will be a research training event mainly addressed to PhD
students and PhD holders in the first steps of their academic career. It
intends to update them about the most recent developments in the diverse
branches of computer science and its neighbouring areas. To that purpose,
renowned scholars will lecture and will be available for interaction with
the audience.

SSTiC 2014 will cover the whole spectrum of computer science through 6
keynote lectures and 23 six-hour courses dealing with some of the most
lively topics in the field. The organizers share the idea that outstanding
speakers will really attract the brightest students.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduate students from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites
in terms of the academic degree the attendee must hold. However, since there
will be several levels among the courses, reference may be made to specific
knowledge background in the description of some of them.

SSTiC 2014 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep
themselves updated on developments in their own field or in other branches
of computer science. They will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss
with scholars who are main references in computing nowadays.

REGIME:

In addition to keynotes, 3 parallel sessions will be held during the whole
event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they will be
willing to attend as well as to move from one to another.

VENUE:

SSTiC 2014 will take place in Tarragona, located 90 kms. to the south of
Barcelona. The venue will be:

Campus Catalunya
Universitat Rovira i Virgili
Av. Catalunya, 35
43002 Tarragona

MetaSel - Meta-learning & Algorithm Selection
*********************************************
ECAI-2014 Workshop, Prague,
19 August 2014
http://metasel2014.inescporto.pt/

2nd Announcement & Call for Papers

Objectives
This ECAI-2014 workshop will provide a platform for discussing the
nature of algorithm selection which arises in many diverse domains,
such as machine learning, data mining, optimization and satisfiability
solving, among many others.

Algorithm Selection and configuration are increasingly relevant today.
Researchers and practitioners from all branches of science and
technology face a large choice of parameterized machine learning
algorithms, with little guidance as to which techniques to use.
Moreover, data mining challenges frequently remind us that algorithm
selection and configuration are crucial in order to achieve the best
performance, and drive industrial applications.

Meta-learning leverages knowledge of past algorithm applications to
select the best techniques for future applications, and offers
effective techniques that are superior to humans both in terms of the
end result and especially in the time required to achieve it. In this
workshop we will discuss different ways of exploiting meta-learning
techniques to identify the potentially best algorithm(s) for a new
task, based on meta-level information and prior experiments. We also
discuss the prerequisites for effective meta-learning systems such as
recent infrastructure such as OpenML.org.

Many problems of today require that solutions be elaborated in the
form of complex systems or workflows which include many different
processes or operations. Constructing such complex systems or
workflows requires extensive expertise, and could be greatly
facilitated by leveraging planning, meta-learning and intelligent
system design. This task is inherently interdisciplinary, as it builds
on expertise in various areas of AI.

The workshop will include invited talks, presentations of
peer-reviewed papers and panels. The invited talks will be by Lars
Kotthoff and Frank Hutter (to be confirmed).

The target audience of this workshop includes researchers (Ph.D.'s)
and research students interested to exchange their knowledge about:
- problems and solutions of algorithm selection and algorithm configuration
- how to use software and platforms to select algorithms in practice
- how to provide advice to end users about which algorithms to
select in diverse domains, including optimization, SAT etc. and
incorporate this knowledge in new platforms.

We specifically aim to attract researchers in diverse areas that have
encountered the problem of algorithm selection and thus promote
exchange of ideas and possible collaborations.

Topics
Algorithm Selection & Configuration
Planning to learn and construct workflows
Applications of workflow planning
Meta-learning and exploitation of meta-knowledge
Exploitation of ontologies of tasks and methods
Exploitation of benchmarks and experimentation
Representation of learning goals and states in learning
Control and coordination of learning processes
Meta-reasoning
Experimentation and evaluation of learning processes
Layered learning
Multi-task and transfer learning
Learning to learn
Intelligent design
Performance modeling
Process mining

Submissions and Review Process
Important dates:
Submission deadline: 25 May 2014
Notification: 23 June 2014

Full papers can consist of a maximum of 8 pages, extended abstracts up
to 2 pages, in the ECAI format. Each submission must be submitted
online via the Easychair submission interface.

Submissions can be updated at will before the submission deadline.
Electronic versions of accepted submissions will also be made publicly
available on the conference web site. The only accepted format for
submitted papers is PDF.

Submissions are possible either as a full paper or as an extended
abstract. Full papers should present more advanced work, covering
research or a case application. Extended abstracts may present
current, recently published or future research, and can cover a wider
scope. For instance, they may be position statements, offer a specific
scientific or business problem to be solved by machine learning (ML) /
data mining (DM) or describe ML / DM demo or
installation.

Each paper submission will be evaluated on the basis of relevance,
significance of contribution, technical quality, scholarship, and
quality of presentation, by at least two members of the program
committee. All accepted submissions will be included in the conference
proceedings. At least one author of each accepted full paper or
extended abstract is required to attend the workshop to present the
contribution.

A selection will be made of the best paper and runner ups, and these
will be presented in the plenary session. The remainder of accepted
submissions will be presented in the form of short talks and a poster
session. All accepted papers, including those presented as a poster,
will be published in the workshop proceedings (possibly as CEUR
Workshop Proceedings). The papers selected for plenary presentation
will be identified in the proceedings.

Tutorial on Metalearning and Algorithm Selection at ECAI-2014
*************************************************************
18 August 2014
http://metasel.inescporto.pt/

Algorithm Selection and configuration are increasingly relevant today.
Researchers and practitioners from all branches of science and
technology face a large choice of parameterized algorithms, with
little

guidance as to which techniques to use. Moreover, data mining
challenges frequently remind us that algorithm selection and
configuration are crucial in order to achieve the best performance and
drive industrial applications.

Meta-learning leverages knowledge of past algorithm applications to
select the best techniques for future applications, and offers
effective techniques that are superior to humans both in terms of the
end result and especially in a limited time.
In this tutorial, we elucidate the nature of algorithm selection and
how it arises in many diverse domains, such as machine learning, data
mining, optimization and SAT solving. We show that it is possible to
use meta-learning techniques to identify the potentially best
algorithm(s) for a new task, based on meta-level information and prior
experiments. We also discuss the prerequisites for effective
meta-learning systems, and how recent infrastructures, such as
OpenML.org, allow us to build systems that effectively advice users on
which algorithms to apply.

The intended audience includes researchers (Ph.D.'s), research
students and practitioners interested to learn about, or consolidate
their knowledge about the state-of-the-art in algorithm selection and
algorithm configuration, how to use Data Mining software and platforms
to select algorithms in practice, how to provide advice to end users
about which algorithms to select in diverse domains, including
optimization, SAT etc. and incorporate this knowledge in new
platforms. The participants should bring their own laptops

REACHABILITY PROBLEMS 2014
-------------------------------------------------
The 8th International Workshop on Reachability Problems (RP2014)
(22 - 24 September 2013, University of Oxford, United Kingdom)
http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/RP2014/

The Department of Computer Science will organize the 8th International Workshop
on Reachability Problems (RP'2014). This event will take place at the
Department in the centre of Oxford, 22 - 24 September 2014.

Papers presenting original contributions related to reachability problems in
different computational models and systems are being sought. This will also be
the occasion to review recent breakthroughs by renown invited experts and
survey emerging trends and emphasize on key open challenges. Participants are
kindly encouraged to discuss on core scientific issues that need to be further
tackled.

The Reachability Workshop is specifically aimed at gathering together
scholars from diverse disciplines and backgrounds interested in
reachability problems that appear in
- Algebraic structures
- Computational models
- Hybrid systems
- Logic and Verification

Invited Speakers:

- Byron Cook, UCL and Microsoft Research, UK.
- Kousha Etessami, University of Edinburgh, UK.
- Anca Muscholl, LaBRI Bordeaux, France.
- Sylvain Schmitz, LSV and ENS-Cachan, France.

Submissions:

Papers presenting original contributions related to reachability problems in
different computational models and systems are being sought.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Reachability for infinite
state systems, rewriting systems; Reachability analysis in counter/ timed/
cellular/ communicating automata; Petri-Nets; computational aspects of
semigroups, groups and rings; Reachability in dynamical and hybrid systems;
frontiers between decidable and undecidable reachability problems; complexity
and decidability aspects; predictability in iterative maps and new
computational paradigms

Authors are invited to submit a draft of a full paper with at most 12 pages (in
LaTeX, formatted according to LNCS guidelines) via the conference web page.
Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into an appendix to be read
by the program committee members at their discretion. Submissions deviating
from these guidelines risk rejection. Electronic submissions should be
formatted in pdf. Simultaneous submission to other conferences or workshops
with published proceedings is not allowed.

Important Dates

- Submission deadline: 4 June 2014
- Notification to authors: 4 July 2014
- Final version: 14 July 2014
- Workshop: 22 - 24 September 2014

Presentation-Only Track

In addition to regular papers that will appear in our LNCS proceedings, we
invite researchers to apply to give a presentation at RP 2014 without an
accompanying paper. Such presentations can be based on work that has appeared
(or which is going to appear) in the proceedings of another conference, or
which has not yet been submitted. These contributions will be judged solely on
the basis of their attractiveness to the workshop.

To apply to give such a presentation please submit a PDF file containing a
short abstract (up to two pages) by e-mail [ rp2014@easychair.org ] by August
4th 2014, with subject "RP2014 Presentation-Only Track". This abstract will
not be published in the conference proceedings.
Notification for the presentation-only track will be August 11th 2014.

Proceedings

The Conference Proceedings will be published as the volume of the Springer
Verlag LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) series and distributed at the
Conference. We plan also to publish selected papers in a special issue of a
high quality journal following the regular referee procedure.
