Instructions for Submissions

Extended abstracts. Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract in
English (up to 6 pages), containing original research results. The authors
are fully responsible of convincing the referees of the correctness and
interest of their results using only those six pages. Authors can add an
optional appendix with proofs, sketches of proofs, or additional material.
If included, the appendix will be read at the discretion of the Scientific
Committee and it is expected that it will only be used to reach a decision
for very unusual cases. The appendix has no page limit, and since it will
not be published, it cannot be referenced in the extended abstract.
Submission of a paper implies that the work described has not been
previously published (except in the form of a short abstract or as part of
a lecture or academic thesis), that it is not simultaneously submitted
elsewhere, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the
same form. A special volume of Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics
(ENDM) will be dedicated to accepted extended abstracts. The extended
abstracts must comply with the ENDM LaTeX style and are limited to 6 pages,
including the front matter, text, and references. Instructions for
submission preparation may be obtained in the ENDM web page (
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/endm). Once prepared, the paper should be
submitted by means of the Easy Chair system (
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lagos2015).

Posters. Submissions of posters on all areas related to the symposium are
also solicited. Posters must also be submitted for review in the form of an
extended abstract formatted in the ENDM style (
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/endm), and must not exceed 2 pages in
length. Posters should also be submitted via the Easy Chair System (
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lagos2015). Accepted posters
will NOT appear in the ENDM special volume, but they will appear in the
symposium's booklet. Posters will be presented at the symposium in a
separate session.

Following the tradition of LAGOS, a special issue of Discrete Applied
Mathematics will be prepared after LAGOS'15. All authors of accepted papers
at the symposium are invited to contribute to this special volume. The
topics should relate to the central themes of the symposium, but are not
necessarily restricted to the presentations at LAGOS'15. All articles will
be refereed according to the standards of Discrete Applied Mathematics.

We invite submissions to FOGA 2015, the 2015 ACM/SIGEVO Foundations of Genetic Algorithms XIII,which will be held 17--20 January 2015 in Aberystwyth, Wales, UK. FOGA is the premier event on the theoretical foundations of evolutionary computation and all kinds of randomised search heuristics, including but not limited to evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimisation, artificial immune systems and particle swarm optimisation. Accepted papers will be published in post-conference proceedings by ACM Press.

Authors should submit their papers (15 page maximum) consistent with the
alternate ACM SIG style file by the submission deadline (for the class file and templates see http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates).
Submissions are made through EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=foga2015
Preliminary versions of the accepted papers will be distributed to participants at FOGA. Authors of papers presented at the FOGA workshop will be asked to contribute final versions of their papers as part of the post-conference proceedings published by ACM.

The goal of FOGA is to advance the theoretical understanding of evolutionary computation and all kinds of randomised search heuristics, promote theoretical work to the wider community and contribute to making randomised search heuristics more useful in practice. We particularly encourage submissions bridging theory and practice. In addition to strict mathematical investigations, experimental studies contributing towards the theoretical foundations of evolutionary computation methods are also welcome. Topics include but are not limited to runtime analysis; fitness landscapes and problem difficulty; single- and multi-objective optimisation problems; stochastic and dynamic environments; population
dynamics; statistical approaches; self-adaptation; black-box complexity; working principles of all kinds of randomised search heuristics.

FOGA 2015 is sponsored by ACM SIGEVO.

and the AIS SIG-eMedia
==============================================================================

NUMA 2014 - THE award for pervasive, ubiquitous, ambient technologies, media, services, user experience, concepts, and applications. We refurbished the competition for 2014 after having received over 220 competition entries over the past seven years. We want to integrate all the latest trends in the world of smart media, as we want to see incredible re-interpretations of the original notion of ubimedia, pervasive media, and ambient media. Any new fresh idea is welcome in this area! The vision of ubimedia today spreads in smart city concepts, smart cards, and smart phones - and starts to become mainstream - there are still many more exciting, seamless, and unobtrusive experiences that need to be discovered. We still seek for cutting edge tech innovations, and look for makers that single-handedly engineer fascinating new ubimedia services and devices on a shoestring budget. We welcome all ubimedia masterminds, pervasive computation enthusiasts, and ambient intelligent research!
ers to participate in writing the next chapter for the most innovative, inspiring, and sometimes slightly mad competition in ubimedia's history and seek projects, applications, services, technological solutions, concepts, or new media environment as competition entry. Note, there will be also a price sum giving to the very best three entries.

Possible themes, topics, and areas where your application could contribute to:
- smart environments (smart cars, smart houses, smart devices, smart cities)
- cyber, social, and physical computing
- human computer interaction in the era of ubiquitous computation
- smart robots, interaction with robots, and robotic applications
- new interaction devices (Google glasses, Pebble, ?)
- big data concepts for pervasive computation
- the ?quantified? self and the digital human
- sensor data, context awareness, and intelligence
- mobile phone applications, NFC technologies, and embedded systems (e.g. Arduino)
- wearable technologies, smart watches, smart glasses, and smart gadgets
- cyber physical systems (CPS)
- urban informatics and smart transportation
- security and safety of environments
- smart saving of energy, and sustainable environments
- production and industrial applications that are smart
- information systems and management in smart environments
- entertainment applications (e.g. pervasive games, ambient television, ...)
- artisic works, apps, and creative designs
- ergonomics, human-computer interaction designs, and consumer experience
- software, hardware, and middleware frameworks

NUMA is looking for your bold, irritating and mind-opening ideas, no matter if you are a student, seasoned researcher, entrepreneur or artist. Whether thesis, project or product - our only condition is: you must be able to demo it, otherwise you are out! You will have to prove your idea with a working prototype, and if you are nominated you will need to demonstrate your work during MindTrek. As we are a cross-disciplinary competition, we created the following categories, to cope with all the latest trends:

- ?NUMA-TEC? - You have been pushing the boundaries of sensors and ubiquitous computing or invented some incredible new pervasive hardware? This award focuses on advances in ?Technology?.

- ?NUMA-KERS? - You have mastered the odds of physical computing and rapid prototyping and want to expose your devices beyond the maker community? This award focuses on the community of ?Makers?.

- ?NUMA-UX? - You are an interaction, experience designer, or artist and have gone where no content has been seen before? This award focuses on the ?Experience?.

- ?NUMA-CONTENT? - You are a content creator, application developer, designer, artist, game designer, or new media developer? This award focuses on new ambient, ubiquitous, and pervasive content.

NUMA 2014 gives all of you the chance to show your work to an interdisciplinary international jury and win a the award! Winners will also be invited to become part of the great MindTrek 2014 event and community with travel costs covered.

1 Motivation and Objectives of the Workshop
==============================================================================

Ambient (aka pervasive, ubiquitous) media environments offer a plethora of context data as
well as opportunities for context-related content production and consumption. They are the
perfect environments for providing users with highly contextualized data-driven services
and data-driven visual and additive content.

To build such ambient media environments, semantics play an essential role to deal with a
seamless integration of the urban context as well as the digital services to be provided.
The application areas range from smart cars, urban informatics, smart homes, ambient
assisted living, smart media environments, and new interaction devices.
We aim to bring together communities involved in different semantic applications needed
for the creation of ambient media environments, like: digital services, media
interoperability, open data, user interfaces, human-computer interaction, user-centred
and interaction design, user experience, business modelling, knowledge management, etc.

This will allow identifying common themes between the participant's current work and
research agenda, and, eventually, leading to the discovery of new insights and opportunities.
The primary research goal is to assess new trends for applying semantics in digital
services for urban contexts and the disciplines involved in the creation of these services.
The workshop organizers have extensive experiences in organizing high level workshops
through the non-profit International Ambient Media Association (AMEA) they founded.
The organizers have also established an own free open access series and journal within
the association, attracted large audiences, and disseminated the results through
high level journal special issues as e.g. Springer-Verlag?s Multimedia Tools &
Applications.

2 Topics of the Workshop
==============================================================================

In line with the above, contributions to the workshop should propose applications of
applications and services in the domain of ubiquitous media centering on usability,
interaction, and intelligent interaction focused on, but not limited to ubiquitous/ambient usability:
- Ambient Intelligent Semantics & Technologies
o Vocabularies, ontologies & linked data for urban environments
o Context-data aggregation and context awareness
o Semantics of usage contexts and sensor data
o Context adaptive services
o Service interoperability
o Implementation and evaluation of urban services
o Ambient and ubiquitous devices
- Ambient Intelligent Presentation and Interaction
o Service interoperability
o Usage of ambient media for increasing application usability
o Methods and best practices for urban service design
o Usability in ubiquitous smart systems
o Ubiquitous human-computer interaction
o User experience, needs and user studies
o New smart media based user interfaces
- Emerging Ambient Services & Applications
o Smart cars, smart cities, smart urban environments
o Big data, opened data, and linked data applications
o New smart media based interfaces
o User-driven content and semantic data generation
o Smart media environments
o Unobtrusive mobile applications
o Non-screen based user interfaces
o Trust and security

3 Target Audience
==============================================================================
The target audiences to be addressed by this workshop are communities involved
in the creation of ambient intelligence systems for urban environments,
digital services, media interoperability, open data, user interaction design,
business modelling, knowledge management, etc.

As the workshop organizers are from different institutions and research perspectives,
and from academic and from industry, a high number of attendees is expected.
We expect approx. 15-25 attendees to allow a reasonable number of
working groups (see Section 4 ?Workshop Format?).

4 Workshop Format and Activities
==============================================================================

The workshop is part of a larger set of initiatives and is supported and incorporated with:
* iAMEA ? International Association of Ambient Media Ry (www.ambientmediaassociation.org)
* the Association of Information Systems (AIS) Special Interest Group (SIG) SIG-eMedia
(aisnet.org/group/SIG-eMedia)
* iAMEA established an open access journal and series (indexed in Scopus, and within the
Finnish publication ranking system)
o International Journal on Information Systems and Management in Creative eMedia
o International Series on Information Systems and Management in Creative eMedia

The workshop will be a full-day workshop grouped into several sessions. We allow the
submission of papers up to 10 pages which will be peer-reviewed by members of the
program committee.

After the workshop, it is planned that the results of the group work are consolidated in a
journal paper to be published in the special issue of the Springer journal on
?Multimedia Tools and Applications?. Also the authors of the best accepted papers of
SAME workshop will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to the
special issue. Respective arrangements with Springer are on the way for the
proposed workshop.

5 Submission Guidlines
==============================================================================

Please follow the submission guidlines for NordiCHI papers on: http://nordichi2014.org/submissions/papers/.
Workshop papers can be 5-10 pages long, however, they need to fulfill the submission guidelines of NordiCHI.

Following the success of previous events and the importance of the field of
evolutionary and biologically inspired (artificial neural network, swarm,
alife) music, sound, art and design, evomusart has become an evo* conference
with independent proceedings since 2012. Thus, evomusart 2015 is the
fourth International Conference on Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired
Music, Sound, Art and Design.

The use of biologically inspired techniques for the development of artistic
systems is a recent, exciting and significant area of research. There is a
growing interest in the application of these techniques in fields such
as: visual art and music generation, analysis, and interpretation; sound
synthesis; architecture; video; poetry; design; and other creative tasks.

The main goal of evomusart 2015 is to bring together researchers who are
using biologically inspired computer techniques for artistic tasks, providing
the opportunity to promote, present and discuss ongoing work in the area.

The event will be held in April, 2015 in Copenhagen, Denmark,
as part of the Evo* event.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

We are happy to announce that the next workshop within the EU COST-Action TD1207 on "Mathematical Optimization in the Decision Support Systems for Efficient and Robust Energy Networks (ICT)" (http://cost-td1207.zib.de/)

will be on

Mathematical Models and Methods for Energy Optimization (CWM^3EO)

at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (1111 Budapest, M?egyetem rakpart 3.) on September 25-26, 2014.

The emphasis of this COST-Action is to advance the visibility and general awareness of the strong research contributions of mathematical optimization in the field of energy production and distribution. The main aim is to enhance collaborations between experts of different branches of mathematical optimization and experts of energy systems. One of the planned tools for furthering this interaction is a Wiki for collecting and organizing the huge amount of work already done in the field. It will serve as entry point and guidance to this field for practitioners and scientists in general.


The workshop will feature plenary talks by prominent researchers in mathematical methods and their applications to energy optimization:

- Jordi Castro (Uni. Politecnica de Catalunya)
- Sandrine Charousset (EDF R&R)
- Claudia D'Ambrosio (Ecole Polytechnique)
- Laureano Escudero (Uni. Rey Juan Carlos)
- Utz-Uwe Haus (ETH Zurich)
- Carla Henriques (Uni. Coimbra)
- Martin Mevissen (IBM Research)
- Lars Schewe (Uni. Erlangen)

Contributed talks are welcome on all relevant modeling/methodological aspects of potential interest within the broader scope of energy optimization. Perspective contributions should be submitted until August 30 under the form of a short
abstract of at most one page. Authors will be notified about acceptance before
September 7.

It would be particularly appreciated if the contributing authors were available (directly, or through some collaborator) to helping in raising the Wiki to the quality standards we all wish for by fleshing out the parts of the Wiki corresponding to the argument they presented (possibly after having contributed in reshaping its general structure if such a need arises).

Participation to the worskhop (either presenting a talk or not) is free, but registration is required for logistic reasons. Further information on the workshop can be found at

http://www.math.bme.hu/CostWG2014/

We very much hope to welcome you in Budapest in September!

Yours Sincerely,

Antonio Frangioni, Boglarka G.-T?th, and Christoph Helmberg
