Center for Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO), is a basic research
center funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The center is
located in the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University,
Denmark, but also includes researchers at CSAIL, Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and at
Frankfurt University. The center covers all areas of the design,
analysis and implementation of algorithms and data structures for
processing massive data (interpreted broadly to cover computations where
data is large compared to the computational resources), with focus on
I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious and streaming algorithms. See
www.madalgo.au.dk for more information.
Starting August 1, 2014 or later, several positions are available at
MADALGO under the supervision of Professor Lars Arge
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~large), Associate Professor Gerth S. Brodal
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~gerth) and Assistant Professor Peyman Afshani
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~peyman):
Several PhD student positions are available. The positions are
administered through Graduate School of Science and Technology at Aarhus
University (talent.au.dk/phd/scienceandtechnology) and include full
tuition waiver and a very competitive scholarship. Applications are
welcomed from students with at least three years of full-time study by
August 2014. Students with a strong background in the design and
analysis of algorithms will be preferred.
One or more MADALGO postdoc positions at the level of Research Assistant
Professor of Computer Science are also available. Postdoc positions are
initially for one year, but can be extended with an additional year by
mutual consent. MADALGO welcomes postdoctoral researchers with clearly
demonstrated experience and skills in the design and analysis of
algorithms and data structures. Researchers with experience with
I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious or streaming algorithms, as well as with
implementation of such algorithms (algorithm engineering experience) are
preferred. The responsibilities of MADALGO postdocs include work on
algorithms for massive dataset problems in collaboration with center
researchers, along with modest teaching responsibilities.
The application deadline for both PhD student and postdoc positions is
May 1, 2014. Applicants for PhD student positions should apply using the
Aarhus Graduate School of Science and Technology application system also
accessible from www.madalgo.au.dk. Applicants for postdoc positions
should apply by uploading a letter of interest and a CV, as well as
indicate at least two names of references for recommendations, using the
application form available at www.madalgo.au.dk.
For further information, contact Center Director, Professor Lars Arge at
large@madalgo.au.dk.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Learning and Intelligent OptimizatioN Conference
LION9 , Lille, FRANCE, Jan. 12-16, 2015.
http://www.lifl.fr/LION9/
================================================
Learning and Intelligent OptimizatioN Conference LION9
CALL FOR SESSIONS AND PAPERS
The large variety of heuristic algorithms for hard optimization problems
raises numerous interesting and challenging issues. Practitioners are
confronted with the burden of selecting the most appropriate method, in
many cases through an expensive algorithm configuration and parameter
tuning process, and subject to a steep learning curve. Scientists seek
theoretical insights and demand a sound experimental methodology for
evaluating algorithms and assessing strengths and weaknesses. A
necessary prerequisite for this effort is a clear separation between the
algorithm and the experimenter, who, in too many cases, is "in the loop"
as a crucial intelligent learning component. Both issues are related to
designing and engineering ways of "learning" about the performance of
different techniques, and ways of using past experience about the
algorithm behavior to improve performance in the future. Intelligent
learning schemes for mining the knowledge obtained from different runs
or during a single run can improve the algorithm development and design
process and simplify the applications of high-performance optimization
methods. Combinations of algorithms can further improve the robustness
and performance of the individual components provided that sufficient
knowledge of the relationship between problem instance characteristics
and algorithm performance is obtained.
This meeting, which continues the successful series of LION events (see
LION 5 in Rome, LION 6 in Paris, LION 7 in Catania, and LION 8 in
Gainesville), is exploring the intersections and uncharted territories
between machine learning, artificial intelligence, mathematical
programming and algorithms for hard optimization problems. The main
purpose of the event is to bring together experts from these areas to
discuss new ideas and methods, challenges and opportunities in various
application areas, general trends and specific developments.
Already confirmed invited speakers are: David Corne (Heriot-Watt
University, UK), Alex Freitas (University of Kent, UK), Daniel Le Berre
(University of Lens, France).
LION will continue to be one of the most respected conferences for
researchers working on Learning and Optimization by ensuring a strict
selection of paper with an average selection rate lower than 40%.
Following the tradition of LION, the proceedings will be published after
the conference in the Series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by
Springer.

SSS is an international forum for researchers and practitioners in the
design and development of distributed systems with self-* properties such
as:
self- stabilizing, self-configuring, self-organizing, self-managing,
self-repairing, self-healing, self-optimizing, self-adaptive, and
self-protecting.
Research in distributed systems is now at a crucial point in its evolution,
marked by the importance of dynamic systems such as peer-to-peer networks,
large-scale wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, robotic
networks, opportunistic networks etc. Moreover, new applications such as
grid and web services, banking and e-commerce, e-health and robotics,
aerospace and avionics, automotive, industrial process control, etc. have
joined the traditional applications of distributed systems. We particularly
encourage the submissions spanning these areas of applications.
?
The conference provides a wide spectrum of topics, covered in the following
tracks:
* Self-stabilization
* Fault-tolerant and Dependable Systems
* Formal Methods, Safety, and Security
* Ad-hoc, Sensor and Mobile Networks, Cyberphysical Systems
* Cloud Computing, P2P, Self-organizing and Autonomous Systems
?
