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 21 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.

Two postdoc opportunities at Inria in Lyon, France

In the context of a FP7 KBBE European Project, BacHBerry (?BACterial
Hosts for production of Bioactive phenolics from bERRY fruits"), we are
seeking two postdoc candidates, each for one year, renewable for up
to two years.

The candidates will work in the BAMBOO team at the Inria-UCBL in
Lyon, France (http://team.inria.fr/bamboo/), in interaction with the
partners of BacHBerry, in particular the CSI team at the IDMEC-IST
in Lisbon, Portugal (http://www.idmec.ist.utl.pt/).

Both BAMBOO and CSI are methodological teams with an expertise
in computational and systems biology.

This project aims at tapping the potential of living organisms or systems
to develop or make natural chemical compounds that are believed to be
useful for medicine, agriculture, bioremediation, biodegradation, or etc.
Most often, the compound is already produced by the organism but in
small quantity, and one needs then to manipulate it in order for the
production to be increased. Other situations require transplanting part of
the chemical factory of an organism into another, in general a bacterium,
for better efficiency. In some cases, the transplant might better be split
among a community of different bacteria in interaction.

BacHBerry is more specifically interested in the generation of bacterial
platforms for sustainable bio-based production of phenolic compounds
found in berry fruits. Phenolics are recognised for their antioxydant
health-promoting and functional properties, and applied across
applications as diverse as aromas, colours, nutraceuticals, and medicines.

More specifically, we are looking for candidates with a PhD in one of
the following areas: computer science, mathematics, statistics, computational
biology, metabolic engineering, regulation, or related, with a strong taste
for inter-disciplinary research, and with very good interpersonal skills.

Ideally, the person will have a long experience with graph algorithms,
discrete combinatorics and/or optimisation techniques.

Unsual CVs are welcome. Knowledge of the portuguese language would
also be a plus :-)

Applications should include a motivation letter, a CV, and the address
of three references.

The applications should be sent to:
Marie-France Sagot, marie-france.sagot@inria.fr
putting also in copy the partner in Lisbon:
Susana Vinga, susanavinga@gmail.com
ideally before July 31, 2014.

========================================================================

Scope: Organizations are increasingly concerned about the privacy of
information that they manage (several people have filed lawsuits
against organizations violating the privacy of customer's data). Thus,
the management of privacy-sensitive information is very critical and
important for every organization. This poses several challenging
problems, such as how to translate the high-level business goals into
system-level privacy policies, administration of privacy-sensitive
data, privacy data integration and engineering, privacy access control
mechanisms, information-oriented security, and query execution on
privacy-sensitive data for partial answers.

Topics: The aim of this workshop is to discuss and exchange the ideas
related to privacy data management. We invite papers from researchers
and practitioners working in privacy, security, trustworthy data
systems and related areas to submit their original papers in this
workshop. The main topics, but not limited to, include:

* Privacy Information Management
* Privacy Policy-based Infrastructures and Architectures
* Privacy-oriented Access Control Languages and Models
* Privacy in Trust Management
* Privacy in Digital Currencies
* Privacy Data Integration
* Privacy Risk Assessment and Assurance
* Privacy Services
* Cryptography and Cryptanalysis
* Privacy Policy Analysis
* Query Execution over Privacy Sensitive Data
* Privacy Preserving Data Mining
* Hippocratic and Water-marking Databases
* Privacy for Integrity-based Computing
* Privacy Monitoring and Auditing
* Privacy in Social Networks
* Privacy in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) Applications
* Individual Privacy vs. Corporate/National Security
* Privacy in computer networks
* Privacy and RFIDs
* Privacy and Big Data
* Privacy in sensor networks

========================================================================

Submission guidelines: Papers should be at most 15 pages (using
11-point font), excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices.
Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the
paper should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be
written in English.

Authors must submit their papers by the deadline indicated below,
using the EasyChair web site (at easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dpm2014)
and following the requirements stated there.

The submitted paper (in PDF format) should follow the template
indicated by Springer (see http://springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
It must start with a title, a short abstract, names and affiliations
of the authors, and a list of keywords.

All papers will be refereed. Accepted papers should be presented at
the Workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must register
to the workshop, by the early date indicated by the organizers, and
