The International Transactions in Operational Research (ITOR) journal
(Wiley) will publish a special issue dedicated to the "Many Faces of
Distances" workshop, organized at IMECC, University of Campinas, in
October 2014.

The aim of this issue is to bring together contributions in
multidisciplinary fields, considering mathematical and computational
problems related to the concept of distance arising from different
areas of knowledge and applications. The topics of interest are
theory, algorithms, and applications of the concept of distance
related, but not limited, to the following areas:
- Astronomy;
- Big data;
- Coding theory;
- Computer networks;
- Data visualization;
- Geometric structures;
- Graph theory;
- Molecular structure;
- Nanostructures;
- Pattern recognition;
- Psychology;
- Robotics;
- Statistics;
- Theory of Distance Geometry.

Although we strongly encourage the submission of papers presented at
the workshop on "Many Faces of Distances", this Call for Papers is
also open to the entire community of academics and practitioners in
Operations Research and in the the above areas.

All papers will be peer-reviewed according to the editorial policy of
ITOR (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118505725/home),
published by the International Federation of Operational Research
Societies (IFORS). Papers should be original, unpublished, and not
currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. They should
be prepared according to the instructions to authors that can be found
on the journal's homepage. Authors should upload their contributions
using the submission site http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/itor,
indicating in their cover letter that the paper is intended for this
special issue. The deadline for submissions is February 28,
2015. Other inquiries should be sent directly to any of the Guest

Editors in charge of this issue: Carlile Lavor
(clavor@ime.unicamp.br), Marcelo Firer (mfirer@ime.unicamp.br), Jose
Mario Martinez (martinez@ime.unicamp.br), or Leo Liberti

VIII ALIO/EURO Workshop on Applied Combinatorial Optimization
Montevideo, Uruguay, December 8-10, 2014
http://www.fing.edu.uy/en/alio-euro-2014

The ALIO/EURO Workshop on Applied Combinatorial Optimization series is a
triennial event jointly promoted by the Association of
Latin-Iberoamerican Operational Research Societies (ALIO) and the
Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO), both
within the International Federation of Operational Research Societies
(IFORS). The main purpose of the event is to bring together Latin
American and European researchers and to stimulate activities and
discussions about methods and applications in the field of combinatorial
optimization. Researchers from other regions worldwide are also welcome.
The 2014 edition of the workshop is organized by the Operations Research
Department of the Computer Science Institute, Faculty of Engineering,
Universidad de la Rep?blica, Uruguay. The event will be held at Edificio
Polifuncional Jos? Luis Massera, next to the Faculty of Engineering.
This is a central location with full access to services such as
transportation, lodging and restaurants. The surroundings of the
conference venue offer a pleasant environment, including Parque Rod? and
the riverside of R?o de la Plata.

The academic program comprises more than 70 contributions organized in
two parallel tracks, including the following topics: Metaheuristics,
Polyhedral Combinatorics, Hybrid Heuristics, Branch and Cut and Price,
Graphs and Theoretical Aspects, Transportation and Logistics, Vehicle
Routing, Scheduling, Network Flows and Packing, Natural Resource
Management, Energy Sector and Other Applications. Moreover, the workshop
includes plenary talks by the following keynote speakers:

- Michel Gendreau, CIRRELT and D?partement de math?matiques et de g?nie
industriel, ?cole Polytechnique de Montr?al, Canada
- Thomas St?tzle, IRIDIA, Universit? Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium
- Andres Weintraub, Departamento de Ingenier?a Industrial, Universidad
de Chile, Chile

Registration is open through the form available at the workshop website.

Hope to see you in Montevideo !

Subject: [DMANET] PhD scholarships at Monash University
(combinatorics, random graphs)
Message-ID: <546C29D1.4030604@monash.edu>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Outstanding candidates are sought for PhD scholarships in combinatorics,
in particular random graph theory, random networks and probabilistic
combinatorics. The scholarships are associated with the Australian
Laureate Fellowship held by Nick Wormald, at Monash University in
Melbourne, Australia.

This area of pure mathematics uses graph theory, probability theory and
some analytic methods. It is of fundamental interest in understanding
the nature of random structures such as models of the world wide web or
other large networks and are also interrelated to asymptotic enumeration
of structures such as graphs. There are growing numbers of applications
in algorithmic Computer Science, and results in the area can lead to
novel algorithms for practical problems, or to new understanding of the
inherent difficulties of the computational solutions of problems. See
http://users.monash.edu.au/~nwormald/ for more information on recent
research.

Successful applicants will join in the activities of the School of
Mathematical Sciences, Monash University, and interact with the
University's very active Discrete Mathematics group
(http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~gfarr/research/res-gp-mtgs.html).

Candidates should have an honours degree or equivalent in pure
mathematics or a closely associated discipline. Experience with graphs,
discrete probability and/or complex analysis and measure theory are
highly advantageous.

The scholarships cover living allowance, as well as being able to cover
tuition fees in the case of International students.

Application method: by 15 December 2014, send an email to Nick Wormald
<nicholas.wormald@monash.edu> including:

* your academic transcript (of all subjects studied and marks obtained),
* a brief CV, including publications if any, and
* a list with full contact details of at least two (preferably three)
referees, mentioning their relationship to you.

For further enquiries, email Nick Wormald <nicholas.wormald@monash.edu>.
