ADDICTION
International School on
ADdressing DIfficult problems in a Computationally Tractable fashION

with a special interest in
computational biology

Lisbon (Portugal), 16-21 November 2014

http://team.inria.fr/bamboo/en/events/school-addiction/

********************************************************************************
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
********************************************************************************

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ADDICTION
*******************************************************

ADDICTION is the second international event organised by the Inria
AMICI International Partnership (http://team.inria.fr/bamboo/amici/).

Its focus is on:
- smart data structures;
- algorithm engineering and experimental algorithms;
- probabilistic algorithms;
- (M)ILP approaches simple and enumerative.
On the application side there will be a special interest in computational
biology. The School is addressed to young researchers at the PhD
student or postdoc level, but may, depending on space, greet other
interested participants. The scope of ADDICTION is international.

COURSES AND LECTURERS
***********************************

The school features the following four lecturers:

* Friedrich Eisenbrandt (EPFL, Switzerland)

* Giuseppe Italiano (University of Rome "Tor Vergata", Italy)

* Kurt Melhorn (Max-Planck-Institute f?r Informatik at
Saarbr?cken, Germany)

* Eli Upfal (Brown University, USA)

LOCATION
*************

ADDICTION will be held at the Olissippo Marqu?s de S? hotel,
in Lisbon, Portugal. The hotel is a 2-minutes walk away from the
Calouste Gulbenkian Museum and its beautiful park. It is located
just between two of the main Metro lines of Lisbon.

Situated on the west coast of the country, where the Tagus river
meets the Atlantic Ocean, Lisbon is the western-most capital in
mainland Europe. It is known as the white city, thanks to its unique
luminosity. The light, the atmosphere and the climate offer
marvelous walks all over the city. Lisbon is extremely lively,
with a wealth of cultural events happening every day, and a vibrant
nightlife. A huge selection of restaurants is available, featuring
Portuguese and international cuisine.

Lisbon can be easily reached by daily direct flights from major
international cities.

ORGANISATION
********************

Scientific directors:
* Pierluigi Crescenzi (University of Florence, Italy)
* Alberto Marchetti-Spaccamela (University of Rome I, Italy)
* Marie-France Sagot (Inria and University of Lyon 1, France)
* Leen Stougie (Free University Amsterdam and CWI, Netherlands)

Organisation:
* Florence Bouheddi and Marie-France Sagot (Inria), with the
help of Susana Vinga (IDMEC-IST, Lisbon)


REGISTER EARLY TO SAVE!
***********************************

Prospective participants should register by September 20, 2014.
The form is available on the school web site:
http://team.inria.fr/bamboo/en/events/school-addiction/.

The early registration fee is 250 euros for PhD students and 300
euros for postdocs or other researchers. These fees cover access
to the school, mid-day meals, coffee breaks and gala dinner.

Accommodation can be provided by the hotel at a preferential rate
until a date that will be indicated on the school website.

After September 20, 2014, depending on space, registration will
remain possible but the fees will be at the higher rate of 300 euros
for PhD students and 350 euros for postdocs or other researchers.

************
3rd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF NATURAL COMPUTING

TPNC 2014

Granada, Spain

December 9-11, 2014

Organized by:

Soft Computing and Intelligent Information Systems (SCI2S)
University of Granada

Research Group on Mathematical Linguistics (GRLMC)
Rovira i Virgili University

http://grammars.grlmc.com/tpnc2014/
****************************************************************************

AIMS:

TPNC is a conference series intending to cover the wide spectrum of
computational principles, models and techniques inspired by information
processing in nature. TPNC 2014 will reserve significant room for young
scholars at the beginning of their career. It aims at attracting
contributions to nature-inspired models of computation, synthesizing nature
by means of computation, nature-inspired materials, and information
processing in nature.

VENUE:

TPNC 2014 will take place in Granada, in the region of Andaluc?a, to the
south of Spain. The city is the seat of a rich Islamic historical legacy,
including the Moorish citadel and palace called Alhambra.

SCOPE:

Topics of either theoretical, experimental, or applied interest include, but
are not limited to:

* Nature-inspired models of computation:

- amorphous computing
- cellular automata
- chaos and dynamical systems based computing
- evolutionary computing
- membrane computing
- neural computing
- optical computing
- swarm intelligence

* Synthesizing nature by means of computation:

- artificial chemistry
- artificial immune systems
- artificial life

* Nature-inspired materials:

- computing with DNA
- nanocomputing
- physarum computing
- quantum computing and quantum information
- reaction-diffusion computing

* Information processing in nature:

- developmental systems
- fractal geometry
- gene assembly in unicellular organisms
- rough/fuzzy computing in nature
- synthetic biology
- systems biology

* Applications of natural computing to: algorithms, bioinformatics, control,
cryptography, design, economics, graphics, hardware, learning, logistics,
optimization, pattern recognition, programming, robotics, telecommunications
etc.

A flexible "theory to/from practice" approach would be the perfect focus for
the expected contributions.

TPNC 2014 will consist of:

- invited talks
- peer-reviewed contributions
