=============================================================================
The 2nd Workshop on Biological Distributed Algorithms (BDA 2014)
October 11-12, 2014, Austin, Texas USA - in conjunction with DISC 2014
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~saketn/BDA2014/
=============================================================================

We are excited to announce the second workshop on Biological
Distributed Algorithms (BDA). BDA is focused on the relationships
between distributed computing and distributed biological systems and
in particular, on analysis and case studies that combine the two. Such
research can lead to better understanding of the behavior of the
biological systems while at the same time developing novel
computational algorithms that can be used to solve basic distributed
computing problems.

The first BDA workshop, BDA 2013, was collocated with DISC 2013 (the
27th International Symposium on Distributed Computing) in Jerusalem.
BDA 2014 will be collocated with DISC 2014 in Austin, Texas. It will
take place just before DISC, on Saturday and Sunday, October 11-12,
2014.

Like BDA 2013, BDA 2014 will include talks on distributed algorithms
related to a variety of biological systems. However, this time we will
devote special attention to communication and coordination in insect
colonies (e.g. foraging, navigation, task allocation, construction)
and networks in the brain (e.g. learning, decision-making, attention).

===========
SUBMISSIONS
===========
We solicit submissions of extended abstracts describing recent results
relevant to biological distributed computing. We especially welcome
extended abstracts describing new insights and / or case studies
regarding the relationship between distributed computing and
biological systems even if these are not fully formed. Since a major
goal of the workshop is to explore new directions and approaches, we
especially encourage the submission of ongoing work. Selected
contributors would be asked to present, discuss and defend their work
at the workshop. By default, the submissions will be evaluated for
either oral or poster presentation, though authors may indicate in
their submission if it should be only considered for one of the
presentation types. Submissions should be in PDF and include title,
author information, and a 4-page extended abstract. Shorter
submissions are also welcome, particularly for poster presentation.

Please use the following EasyChair submission link:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bda2014

Note: The workshop will not include published proceedings. In
particular, we welcome submissions of extended abstracts describing
work that has appeared or is expected to appear in other venues.

==================================================
Financial support for student/postdoc participants
==================================================
We will cover the registration fee and up to $500 of travel costs for
selected participants at the student/postdoc level. Please refer to
the workshop's website for further details.

Subject: [DMANET] NetOPt2015: 4th Winter School on Network
Optimization (1st announcement)
Message-ID: <36e1cf6a06fb46448e8a9fd35abab005@FC-MBX2.fc.ul.pt>

The 4th edition of the Winter School on Network Optimization will take place at the Hotel Sana, Estoril, from the 12th to the 16th of January 2015. Its main objective is to provide an opportunity for PhD students to get together and attend high level courses in the field of Network Optimization. Non-PhD students are welcome to attend the school, but the number of participants is limited and priority will be given to PhD students. In this edition of the school, the lecturers and subjects to be addressed are:

Bernard Gendron (Univ. Montr?al): Decomposition methods for network design
Adam Ouorou (Orange Labs): Robust optimization in telecommunications
Gerhard Reinelt (Univ. Heidelberg): Ordering problems
Giovanni Rinaldi (IASI): Maximum weight cuts in graphs and extensions
Daniele Vigo (Univ. Bologna): Solution approaches for vehicle routing problems

Since the first edition in 2009, the school has been part of the activities of the CIO (Centro de Investiga??o Operacional) University of Lisbon as well as of the ENOG (European Network Optimization Group). The event is also endorsed by the EURO (the Association of European Societies) and APDIO (the Portuguese OR society).
Candidates are invited to submit their CVs to NetOpt2015@fc.ul.pt before 30th October 2014.
After a short period of evaluation, the participants will be notified and be invited to register.
More information is available at http:NetOpt2015.fc.ul.pt.
