CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue of Discrete Optimization
on Combinatorial Optimization

We invite submissions of novel research articles for a forthcoming issue
of Discrete Optimization on Combinatorial Optimization.

This special issue is associated with the International Symposium on
Combinatorial Optimization (ISCO 2014) that was held in Lisbon, Portugal, March 5-7, 2014.
However it is also open to papers which have not been presented at the conference.

High quality research papers are solicited to address theoretical as
well as practical issues of Combinatorial Optimization.
Topics of interest include, but are notlimited to:

Approximation algorithms
Cutting-plane algorithms
Polyhedral combinatorics
Branch-and-cut-and-price algorithms
Graph and network algorithms
Linear and nonlinear (mixed-) integer programming
Computational complexity
Computational geometry
Randomized algorithms
Scheduling algorithms
Interior point methods

The deadline for submission of full papers is July 31, 2014.
We aim at completing a first review of all papers by January 31, 2015.

For their submissions, the authors can send their contributions to one of the Guest Editors.
Only electronic submissions in the form of pdf files will be accepted.
All submissions will be refereed according to the standad of the journal.
The special issue will be set up if there will be sufficiently high-quality submissions to it.

Information about Discrete Optimization including author instructions is available at
http:www.journals.elsevier.com/discrete-optimization/
Additional information about the special issue can be obtained from the
Guest Editors.

***********************************************
CWI, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Open PhD and postdoc positions

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

Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) has vacancies in the Network & Optimization research group for one
PhD student and one postdoc in the research project

"Approximation Algorithms, Quantum Information and Semidefinite Optimization?.

This research project aims to explore the limits of efficient computation within classical and quantum computing, using semidefinite optimization as a main unifying tool. The positions involve research into the mathematical and computer science aspects of approximation algorithms for discrete optimization, quantum entanglement in communication, and complexity of fundamental problems in classical and quantum computing.
The project will be carried out in collaboration between Monique Laurent from the CWI Networks & Optimization research group, Ronald de Wolf from the CWI Algorithms & Complexity research group, and Nikhil Bansal from the department of mathematics and computer science of the Technical University Eindhoven. The positions are funded through an NWO-TOP grant.
More information about the project can be found at the website:

http://projects.cwi.nl/quantumdsp/

The PhD student will start around September 2014. For details about the application procedure please visit the website:

The postdoc may start in the fall 2014. For details about the application procedure please visit the website:
