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.
VENUE:
SSTiC 2014 will take place in Tarragona, located 90 kms. to the south of
Barcelona. The venue will be:

August 11- 14, 2014, Aarhus University, Denmark
madalgo.au.dk/learningatscale2014
OVERVIEW AND GOAL
The MADALGO Summer School 2014 will introduce attendees to the latest
developments in learning at scale. The topics will include high
dimensional inference, algorithmic perspectives on learning and
optimization, and challenges in learning with huge data.
LECTURES
The school will be taught by experts in learning:
* Amr Ahmed (Google)
* Mikhail Belkin (Ohio State)
* Stefanie Jegelka (Berkeley)
* Ankur Moitra (MIT)
PARTICIPATION
The summer school will take place on August 11-14, 2014 at Center for
Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO) at the Department of Computer
Science, Aarhus University, Denmark. The school is targeted at graduate
students, as well as researchers interested in an in-depth introduction
to Learning.
The capacity of the Summer School is limited. Prospective participants
should register as soon as possible. Registering graduate students must
also have their supervisor send a letter confirming their graduate
students status directly to tjh@cs.au.dk; the subject of the e-mail
should be 'student_/SS_2014/confirming'. Registration is on a
first-come-first-serve basis and will close on Friday July 4, 2014.
Registration is free; handouts, coffee breaks, lunches and a dinner will

ABOUT MADALGO
Center for Massive Data Algorithmics is a major basic research center
funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The center is located
at the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University, Denmark, but
also includes researchers at CSAIL, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in the US, and at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics
and at Frankfurt University in Germany. 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), but with a main focus on I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious and
data stream algorithms.

IPDPS travels to India in 2015. Voted best convention venue in India
multiple times, the Hyderabad International Convention Centre will
host an event that offers the full IPDPS program of workshops,
contributed papers, and keynote speakers, as well as a very special
opportunity for attendees and their families to visit Hyderabad and
explore other parts of India. The top rated Rajiv Gandhi International
Airport (RGIA) has direct flights from all international hubs and
direct flights to all major cities in India. Hyderabad is a city that
offers a variety of tourist attractions ranging from heritage
monuments, lakes and parks, and gardens and museums to a richly mixed
cultural and historical tradition spanning 2000 years. Modern
development has made it the center of new technologies; it is
sometimes called Genome Valley and Cyberabad to reflect the
biotechnology and information technology investments and industrial
parks. Visit this Website regularly for updates on travel tips and
other information for attendees to help plan your trip to IPDPS 2015.
