Center for Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO), is a basic research
center funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The center is
located in the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University,
Denmark, but also includes researchers at CSAIL, Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and at
Frankfurt University. 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), with focus on
I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious and streaming algorithms. See
www.madalgo.au.dk for more information.

Starting February 1, 2015 or later, several positions are available at
MADALGO under the supervision of Professor Lars Arge
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~large), Associate Professor Gerth S. Brodal
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~gerth), Assistant Professor Peyman Afshani
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~peyman), and Assistant Professor Kasper Green Larsen
(www.madalgo.au.dk/~larsen).

Several PhD student positions may be available. The positions are
administered through Graduate School of Science and Technology at Aarhus
University (talent.au.dk/phd/scienceandtechnology) and include full
tuition waiver and a very competitive scholarship. Applications are
welcomed from students with at least three years of full-time study by
February 2015. Students with a strong background in the design and
analysis of algorithms will be preferred.

One or more MADALGO postdoc positions at the level of Research Assistant
Professor of Computer Science are also available. Postdoc positions are
initially for one year, but can be extended with an additional year by
mutual consent. MADALGO welcomes postdoctoral researchers with clearly
demonstrated experience and skills in the design and analysis of
algorithms and data structures. Researchers with experience with
I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious or streaming algorithms, as well as with
implementation of such algorithms (algorithm engineering experience) are
preferred. The responsibilities of MADALGO postdocs include work on
algorithms for massive dataset problems in collaboration with center
researchers, along with modest teaching responsibilities.

The application deadlines for PhD student and postdoc positions are
November 1 and November 15, 2014, respectively. Applicants for PhD
student positions should apply using the Aarhus Graduate School of
Science and Technology application system also accessible from
www.madalgo.au.dk. Applicants for postdoc positions should apply by
uploading a letter of interest and a CV, as well as indicate at least
two names of references for recommendations, using the application form
available at www.madalgo.au.dk.

For further information, contact Center Director, Professor Lars Arge at
large@madalgo.au.dk.

Call for Papers
31st International Symposium on
Computational Geometry
Eindhoven, June 22-25, 2015

www.win.tue.nl/SoCG2015/

The 31st International Symposium on Computational Geometry will be held
in Eindhoven,
the Netherlands, as part of Computational Geometry Week. We invite
submissions of
high-quality papers that describe original research on computational
problems in a
geometric setting, in particular their algorithmic solutions,
implementation issues,
applications, and mathematical foundations. The program committee
intends to interpret
the scope of the conference broadly, and will seriously consider all
papers that are
of signicant interest to the computational geometry research community.
Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:

* design, analysis, and implementation of geometric algorithms and data
structures;
lower bounds on the computational complexity of geometric problems;

* mathematical, numerical, and algebraic issues arising in the
formulation, analysis,
implementation, and experimental evaluation of geometric algorithms and
heuristics;
discrete and combinatorial geometry; computational topology;

* novel algorithmic applications of geometry in computer graphics,
geometric modeling,
computer-aided design and manufacturing, scientic computing, geographic
information
systems, database systems, robotics, computational biology, machine
learning,
sensor networks, medical imaging, combinatorial optimization,
statistical analysis,
discrete dierential geometry, theoretical computer science, graph drawing,
pure mathematics, and other fields.

Important Dates
* November 21, 2014: Paper abstracts (at most 300 words) due (23:59, UTC-12)
* December 1, 2014: Paper submissions due (23:59, UTC-12)
* February 11, 2015: Notication of acceptance/rejection of papers
* March 23, 2015: Final versions of accepted papers due
* June 22-25, 2015: Symposium in Eindhoven

There will be no extension of abstract and paper submission deadlines;
late submissions will not be considered.

Program committee
* Lars Arge (co-chair, MADALGO, Aarhus U.)
* Boris Aronov (NYU Poly)

* John Hershberger (Mentor Graphics)
* Akitoshi Kawamura (U. Tokyo)
* Stefan Langerman (U. Libre de Bruxelles)

* Haitao Wang (Utah State U.)

Publication and Awards
Final versions of accepted papers will be published by LIPIcs (Leibniz
International
Proceedings in Informatics) in the symposium proceedings. An author of
each accepted
paper will be expected to attend the Symposium and give a presentation
(approximately
20 minutes) of the paper. Authors of a selection of papers from the
conference will
be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to special issues
of one or
two journals, and awards will be given to the best paper and the best
student paper.
A best student presentation award will also be given based on the
quality of the
presentation of a paper by a student during the conference.

Paper Submission Guidelines
Submissions must be formatted in accordance with the LIPIcs proceedings
guidelines
and not exceed 15 pages including title-page and references, but
excluding a clearly
marked appendix (further described below). LIPIcs typesetting
instructions can be
found at http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics and the
lipics.cls LaTeX style 
at http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/lipics/lipics-authors.tgz. Final
proceedings
versions of accepted papers must be formatted using the same rules but
without the
appendix.

Papers should be submitted in the form of an extended abstract, which
begins with the
title of the paper, each author's name and aliation, as well as a short
abstract.
This should be followed by the main body of the paper that begins with a
precise
statement of the problem considered, a succinct summary of the results
obtained
(emphasizing the signicance, novelty, and potential impact of the
research), and a
clear comparison with related work. The remainder of the extended
abstract should
provide sucient detail to allow the program committee to evaluate the
validity,
quality, and relevance of the contribution. Clarity of presentation is
very important;
the whole extended abstract should be written carefully, taking into
consideration
that it will be read and evaluated by both experts and non-experts,
often under tight
time constraints. All details needed to verify the results must be
provided, and
supporting materials, including proofs of theoretical claims and
experimental details,
that do not fit in the 15-page limit should be given in an appendix.
The appendix will
be read by the program committee members at their discretion and will not be
published as part of the proceedings. Thus the paper without the
appendix should be
able to stand on its own, but contain all material with the appendix.
Submissions
deviating from the above guidelines will be rejected without
consideration of
their merits.

Results previously published in another conference proceedings cannot be
submitted.
Simultaneous submissions of the results to another conference with
published proceedings
are not allowed. Exempted are workshop or conference handouts containing
short abstracts.
Results that have already been accepted (with or without revision) for
publication by a
journal, at the time of their submission to the conference, will not be
allowed. A paper
submitted to a journal but not yet accepted to a journal can be
submitted to the
conference. In such cases, the authors must mention this in the
submission appendix and
clearly identify the status of the journal submission on November 21, 2014.

Paper Submission
All submissions must be made electronically; see the EasyChair SoCG2015
web page
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socg2015 for detailed
submission instructions.
