CALL FOR PAPERS

Learning and Intelligent OptimizatioN Conference
LION 9 , Lille, FRANCE, Jan. 12-16, 2015.
http://www.lifl.fr/LION9/

***EXTENDED DEADLINE: October 23th, 2014***

================================================
Learning and Intelligent OptimizatioN Conference LION 9


CALL FOR SESSIONS AND PAPERS

The large variety of heuristic algorithms for hard optimization problems
raises numerous interesting and challenging issues. Practitioners are
confronted with the burden of selecting the most appropriate method, in
many cases through an expensive algorithm configuration and parameter
tuning process, and subject to a steep learning curve. Scientists seek
theoretical insights and demand a sound experimental methodology for
evaluating algorithms and assessing strengths and weaknesses. A
necessary prerequisite for this effort is a clear separation between the
algorithm and the experimenter, who, in too many cases, is "in the loop"
as a crucial intelligent learning component. Both issues are related to
designing and engineering ways of "learning" about the performance of
different techniques, and ways of using past experience about the
algorithm behavior to improve performance in the future. Intelligent
learning schemes for mining the knowledge obtained from different runs
or during a single run can improve the algorithm development and design
process and simplify the applications of high-performance optimization
methods. Combinations of algorithms can further improve the robustness
and performance of the individual components provided that sufficient
knowledge of the relationship between problem instance characteristics
and algorithm performance is obtained.

This meeting, which continues the successful series of LION events (see
LION 5 in Rome, LION 6 in Paris, LION 7 in Catania, and LION 8 in
Gainesville), is exploring the intersections and uncharted territories
between machine learning, artificial intelligence, mathematical
programming and algorithms for hard optimization problems. The main
purpose of the event is to bring together experts from these areas to
discuss new ideas and methods, challenges and opportunities in various
application areas, general trends and specific developments.

Already confirmed invited speakers are: David Corne (Heriot-Watt
University, UK), Alex Freitas (University of Kent, UK), Daniel Le Berre
(Universit? de Lens, France) and R?mi Munos (INRIA, France). Tutorials
will be given by : Manuel L?pez-Ib??ez and Thomas St?tzle (Universit?
Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium) and S?bastien Verel (Universit? du Littoral
C?te d'Opale, France).

LION will continue to be one of the most respected conferences for
researchers working on Learning and Optimization by ensuring a strict
selection of paper with an average selection rate lower than 40%.

Following the tradition of LION, the proceedings will be published after
the conference in the Series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) by
Springer.

*Call for Papers*

Computer Communications Journal, Elsevier
(Current Impact Factor: 1.352)

Special Issue on:
Security and Privacy in Unified Communications: Challenges and Solutions

Direct Link:
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-communications/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-security-and-privacy-in-unified-communicati/

========================================================================

Unified Communications (UC) merge different communication
technologies, types of products, and services, from various
manufacturers, operators, and countries, following diverse policies
and standards. Specifically, in the context of UC, a range of
communication tools are integrated in a way that both corporations and
individuals are able to manage all their communications in one entity
instead of doing it disjointly. It is therefore said that UC bridges
the opening between the various computer related communication
technologies and Voice over IP (VoIP). However, this high level of
heterogeneity expands the risks related to security and privacy that
stakeholders should deal with. To eliminate or even prevent the
increasing threats to end-users and operators, it is important to
explore this growing and timely research topic.
This feature topic will benefit the research community towards
identifying challenges and disseminating the latest methodologies and
solutions to UC security and privacy issues. Its objective is to
publish high-quality articles presenting open issues, algorithms,
protocols, policies, frameworks, standards, and solutions for UC
related to security and privacy. Only technical papers describing
previously unpublished, original, state-of-the-art research, and not
currently under review by a conference or a journal will be
considered. Reviews and case studies which address state-of-art
research and state-of-practice industry experiences are also welcomed.
We solicit papers in a variety of topics related to unified
communications security and privacy, including, but not limited to:

- Authorization and access control for UC services
- Denial of service prevention schemes for UC
- Reliability and availability issues on UC
- Penetration testing, intrusion detection and prevention
- End-to-end security solutions
- Cryptographic protocols for UC
- Voice security
- Signaling security and privacy
- Multimedia application security and privacy analysis
- Multimedia communication platforms vulnerabilities and attacks
- Security and privacy in mobile communication services
- Smartphone multimedia apps security and privacy
- Social networking security and privacy
- Testbed and case studies for secure and private UC services
- Trust establishment in UC
- IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) security
- Privacy and identity management
- Privacy enhancing technologies for UC
- Privacy models for UC
- Security and privacy assessment for UC
- Security policies
- Auditing, verification, and validation of UC services
- Risk analysis and management
- Cyber-security issues affecting UC
- Protection of UC as a Critical Information Infrastructure
- VoIP peering security issues

All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by at least
two experts in the field and evaluated with respect to relevance to
the special issue, level of innovation, depth of contributions, and
quality of presentation. Guest editors will make an initial
determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions. Papers
that either lack originality, clarity in presentation or fall outside
the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review and the
authors will be promptly informed in such cases. Submitted papers must
not be under consideration by any other journal or publication.


Schedule

Manuscript submission deadline: October 31, 2014
Pre-notification (first round): January 30, 2015
Final-notification (second round): April 3, 2015
