PHD STUDENTS

for the Algorithms and Complexity Department

directed by Kurt Mehlhorn.

We are looking for applicants from all areas of algorithmics, including
related areas like computer algebra, complexity theory, and discrete
mathematics. We are also explicitly looking for people interested in
computational geometry and topology, algorithm engineering and the design
and implementation of algorithm libraries.

The Max-Planck-Institute for Computer Science is located on the campus of
Saarland University in Saarbruecken, Germany. Currently, around 40
researchers from several nationalities work in the Algorithms and
Complexity Department. Our working language is English. The group
collaborates with several of the major research institutions in Europe and
the U.S. and has high international visibility. There is generous travel
support available for all group members.

Applications from disabled applicants are appreciated. Our institute
supports the principle of equal opportunity for men and women, and is
therefore interested in applications from women.

Applications must be sent by email in a single PDF file to d1-office <at>
mpi-inf.mpg.de by July 1, 2014. Applications must include a curriculum
vitae, list of grades and the names of two references with their e-mail
addresses.

MeCBIC 2014
7th Workshop on Membrane Computing
and Biologically Inspired Process Calculi
16th September 2014, Bucharest, Romania

http://profs.info.uaic.ro/~mecbic/mecbic2014/
Registration fee: to be announced; possibly around 70 euro
================================================================
IMPORTANT DATES:

*** Abstract Submission: 22 June, 2014
*** Paper Submission: 29 June, 2014
*** Notification: 9 August, 2014
*** Meeting: 16 September, 2014

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

The 7th Workshop on Membrane Computing and Biologically Inspired Process
Calculi (MeCBIC 2014) will take place in Bucharest on 16th September 2014
as a related event of ICTAC 2014, the 11th International Colloquium on
Theoretical Aspects of Computing.

If your work is related to MeCBIC topics, it is now a good opportunity to
submit a paper (of about 16 pages), using the web page
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mecbic2014.

================================================================
AIMS AND SCOPE

The modeling and the analysis of biological systems has attracted the
interest of several research communities. The main aim of the workshop is
to bring together researchers in concurrency theory, formal methods, and
related fields that are interested to present recent results and to
discuss new ideas concerning such formalisms, their properties and
relationships. We welcome contributions that address both theoretical and
applied contributions related to the relevance and potential of formal
methods in biology. Topics of interest include (but not limited to):

- Biologically inspired models and calculi (rewrite systems, process
calculi, Petri nets, etc.);
- Theoretical links and comparison of different biological inspired formal
models;
- Qualitative biological modeling;
- Quantitative formal methods;
- Modelling, analysis and simulation tools for biologically inspired systems.

The workshop proceedings will be published in the Electronic Proceedings
in Theoretical Computer Science. After the event, papers presented at the
workshop will be invited to be furtherly extended and submitted to a
special issue of a visible journal (indexed by DBLP, SCOPUS, Web of
Science, etc)

================================================================
PAST EVENTS

The first edition of MeCBIC was held in Venice in 2006 (co-located with
ICALP 2006). The second MeCBIC was held in Iasi in 2008, the third one
took place in Bologna (as a satellite event of CONCUR 2009), the forth one
in Jena, the fifth in Paris and the sixth in Newcastle. The previous
proceedings of the MeCBIC workshops have been published as ENTCS volumes
171(2) and 227 (2006 and 2008), EPTCS volumes 11, 40 and 100 (2009, 2010
and 2012), in arXiv.org in 2011. A selection of revised papers from 2008,
2009 and 2009 appeared in Theoretical Computer Science volume 431 in 2012.

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

========================================================================
Important Dates

* Paper Submission Deadline (Hard): June 23, 2014
* Acceptance Notification: July 18, 2014
* Camera Ready Version: August 14, 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
present the paper.

The proceedings will be published in a volume of Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (Springer-Verlag).

Submissions by PhD students as well as controversial ideas are
encouraged. Case studies (successful or not) are also encouraged.

It is expected that extended and revised version of the best papers
from the workshop will be considered for international journal special
