The 26th Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG 2014)
will be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on August 11-13, 2014.
SCOPE
CCCG focuses on the design of efficient algorithms, the development of
software, and the study of the mathematical foundations of
computational problems whose formulations involve geometric
constraints. The field of computational geometry is motivated by
problems from a broad range of application areas, as diverse as
computer graphics and animation, computer vision, computer-aided
design and manufacturing, geographic information systems, pattern
recognition, wireless communications, robotics, protein folding, urban
planning, graph drawing, or statistical analysis, to name just a few.
Authors are invited to submit papers describing original research of
theoretical or practical significance in computational, combinatorial
and discrete geometry, as well as related areas.
AUDIENCE
CCCG is an international forum, accessible to a broad community of
researchers, to disseminate and discuss new theoretical and applied
results in discrete and computational geometry. The intended audience
for this conference includes graduate and undergraduate students,
researchers in the area, and members of industry whose work involves
geometric computation.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
Submissions should not exceed six pages, must be submitted
electronically, and must be prepared using LaTeX. Authors who feel
that additional details are necessary should include a clearly marked
appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the Program
Committee. Submission details, including the appropriate LaTeX
template, are available on the conference website. Simultaneous
submission to another conference or journal is not allowed. Authors of
accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the
conference. Failure to do so will result in removal of the paper from
the proceedings.
Submission is now open at EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cccg2014
PROCEEDINGS
Proceedings will be published online on the conference website. There
is no page limit for papers published in the proceedings.
SPECIAL ISSUE
Selected papers from the conference will be invited for submission to
a special issue of the journal Computational Geometry: Theory and
Applications.
STUDENT SUPPORT
CCCG has a tradition of being welcoming to students. It is expected
that there will be partial travel support for students and postdocs.

Subject: [DMANET] Two funded PhD studentships in operations research
at Inria Bordeaux, France
Message-ID: <5346B77B.5040409@math.u-bordeaux1.fr>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Dear colleagues.
The mathematical programming team of Inria Bordeaux invites applications
for two funded PhD studentships.
The first PhD studentship is funded by Universit? de Bordeaux. It is an
academical subject inspired from a real-life problem. The objective is
to propose integer programming methods for solving very large scale
clustering problems. The methods will be adapted for the robust case in
a second step.
http://www.math.u-bordeaux1.fr/~fclautia/docs/PhD_Clustering.pdf
The second PhD studentship is funded by Saint Gobain S.A., a French
multinational corporation. The objective of the thesis is to propose new
mathematical programming based methods for solving hard cutting problems.
http://www.math.u-bordeaux1.fr/~fclautia/docs/PhD_cutting.pdf
Both PhD students will be located at Inria Bordeaux. Speaking French is
absolutely not mandatory. English is the working language in the team.
Both PhD thesis will lie in the scientific scope of the RealOpt project,
led by Fran?ois Vanderbeck. The aim of Inria RealOpt team is to develop
tight formulations for combinatorial problems by combining the latest
reformulation techniques, such as Lagrangian and polyhedral approaches,
and graph theoretics tools. Through industrial partnerships, the team
targets large scale problems.

The positions are within the focus areas of the center which are computational complexity theory, cryptography, quantum informatics, and algorithmic game theory. See also http://ctic.au.dk/.
The successful candidates will obtain their degrees from Aarhus University and are expected to do most of their studies there, but also do stays at IIIS.
To be admitted as a PhD student at Aarhus University Graduate School of Science and Technology PhD program requires between 3 and 5 years of study, depending on the background of the candidate. The minimum requirement for applying is a Bachelor's degree. Applications should be entered at the Aarhus
Graduate School of Science and Technology (GSST) web interface, where PhD applicants will also find detailed and relevant information about the application process, deadlines, financing etc.: http://talent.au.dk/phd/scienceandtechnology/.
To obtain further information before applying, please email ctic@cs.au.dk. The next application deadline is May 1st, 2014.
