OPODIS 2014 Call for Participation
18th Int. Conf. on the Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS)
16-19 December 2014
Cortina, Italy

####################################################

*** NOTE: Reduced early registration fees have been extended through November 22nd! ***

You are kindly invited to participate in the 18th International Conference on the Principles of Distributed Systems (OPODIS).OPODIS is an open forum for the exchange of state-of-the-art knowledge on distributed computing and distributed computer systems. All aspects of distributed systems are within the scope of OPODIS, including theory, specification, design, performance, and system building. OPODIS is traditionally strong in the theoretical aspects of distributed systems; furthermore, OPODIS is expanding its coverage to include the overlap between theoretical solutions and practical implementations, as well as experimentation and quantitative assessments.

The conference will take place in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy's premier mountain resort, is exclusively positioned in the breathtaking UNESCO World Natural Heritage Dolomites, one of the most beautiful and unique alpine regions in the world. A Best of the Alps resort and a symbol of style, fashion and the Italian way of life, Cortina is the perfect destination for those who seek a truly special experience where natural beauty, culture, tradition, art, food and wine fuse together in pure joie de vivre. The spectacular scenery and full range of alpine sports and outdoor activities offered by this bustling mountain town, host to world-cups and international championships, attract nature lovers and sports enthusiasts during all seasons. OPODIS will be hosted at the Splendid Hotel Venezia located in the very hearth of Cortina.

*** Invitation 106th European Study Group Mathematics with Industry
2015, Utrecht ***

Dates/location: January 26-30, 2015, Utrecht University, The Netherlands

Since 1968, the Study Group Mathematics with Industry has brought together
mathematicians and companies. Following the original Oxford model,
about 60 mathematicians, ranging from PhD students to full professors,
spend a week working on one of six real life problems, presented to them
on Monday morning. During four busy days these problems are discussed,
dissected, modeled, analyzed, and computed, and results are presented
on Friday.

This year's problems are posed by
- Philips: patient adaptive compressed sensing
- SKF: statistical modelling of mechanical bearing life testing
- KNMI: synchronizing numerical models of the atmosphere to improve
weather and climate models
- 3 more problems TBA

You are welcome to participate. See our website for the problems
and more information, and also for registration:
http://www.projects.science.uu.nl/swi2015

Participation is free of charge. We can cover hotel costs for a
limited number of participants

Sincerely,
The organizing committee of SWI 2015,
Rob Bisseling, Martin Bootsma, Jason Frank, Ross Kang, Tobias M?ller
(chair), Sanjay Ramawadh, Alessandro Sbrizzi, Christian Spitoni, Paul
Zegeling
