The XIX ELAVIO will take place in Quito, Ecuador, FROM FEBRUARY 23th TO 27th, 2015.
The ELAVIOs are schools supported by ALIO (the Latin-Iberoamerican Association
of Operations Research) and mainly addressed to young researchers and postgraduate students (both at the PhD and master level) from Latin-Iberoamerican countries. However, advanced undergraduate students from all over the world with excellent skills and special interest in the areas of Operations Research, Informatics, and Applied Mathematics are also welcome to apply.
The ELAVIO 2015 will be hosted at the Escuela Polit?cnica Nacional (EPN) in Quito, the capital city of Ecuador, from February 23th to 27th, 2015. The two million inhabitants city has a rich cultural and touristic offer that will significantly enhance the ELAVIO 2015 experience for all participants.
Besides of one of the largest colonial old towns in Latin-America, there are various museums to visit, and a cable car which can bring tourists above the 4,000 meters barrier. Additionally, several touristic destinations in the Ecuadorian Andes can be reached within one-day trips.
ELAVIO 2015 will include mini-courses, invited talks, as well as discussion panels where participants can share their research advances, open problems, and related issues. Selected contributed papers from participants will be presented in special tracks.
Research topics of the school include, but are not limited to:
1. Combinatorial optimization and polyhedral theory.
2. Nonlinear optimization.
3. Modeling with linear and nonlinear integer programs.
4. Applications to problem solving in the areas of sustainability, environmental care, logistics, fishery, agricultures, engineering and production, among others.
The official languages of the school are: English, Spanish, and Portuguese. *Talks and lectures will be either in english or in spanish* (in the latter case with english slides). More details on this regard are published on the website.

Final call and *extended deadline* for papers/extended abstracts
****************************************************************
The deadline for submissions of papers/extended abstracts for MEGA 2015
has been extended to
12 December 2014
Effective Methods in Algebraic Geometry
University of Trento, Department of Mathematics,
Povo (Trento) Italy
June 15-19, 2015
This is the 25th anniversary of MEGA. During the conference we will
celebrate this anniversary with a special afternoon programme at a small
lake surrounded by the hills near Trento.
Further information: http://mega2015.science.unitn.it/
Submission page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mega2015
****************************************************************
MEGA is the acronym for Effective Methods in Algebraic Geometry (and
its equivalent in many other languages). This series of biennial
international conferences, with a tradition dating back to 1990, is
devoted to computational and application aspects of Algebraic Geometry
and related topics.
The conference will comprise invited talks, regular contributed talks,
presentations of computations, and a poster session; the latter three
are subject to a competitive submission process.
Invited speakers:
Alessandra Bernardi (University of Turin, Italy)
Petter Br?nd?n (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden)
Elisa Gorla (University of Neuch?tel, Switzerland)
Hans-Christian Graf von Bothmer (University G?ttingen, Germany)
Anders Jensen (Aarhus University, Denmark)
Michael Joswig (Technical University of Berlin, Germany)
Frank Sottile (Texas A&M University, USA)
Caroline Uhler (Institute of Science and Technology, Austria)
(Carlos Beltran has had to cancel).
Special invited talk during the special afternoon:
Daniel Lazard (Paris 6) on the history of MEGA and related groups
Important dates:
Deadline for submissions of papers/extended abstracts:
12 December 2014
Notification of acceptance of papers/extended abstracts:
15 February 2015
Deadline for submission of posters/computation presentatations:
15 March 2015
Notification of acceptence of posters/computation presentations:
15 April 2015
Deadline for registration and fee payment: TBD
Submissions: Submissions should contain recent original research
relevant to effective methods in algebraic geometry (in a broad sense),
including their foundations, analysis, complexity, computational
aspects, practical issues and applications. On this occasion we
especially encourage submissions related to finite fields, cryptography
and coding theory, as we would like to have a session specifically
devoted to these topics.
There are three types of submissions, distributed over the two deadlines
above:
- Regular papers: for these, authors can choose to submit
either an extended abstract of at least four pages (not counting
bibliography) that should contain full results, an outline of the proofs
and all of the main ideas; or else a full paper with complete proofs.
- Computation presentations: these can concern new software packages,
but also experiments with (combinations) existing software that have
led to new computational approaches to mathematical proofs/applications
relevant to MEGA. Submission should be in the form of a short paper
describing the software or computations.
- Posters: to be printed on A1, the posters will be exhibited
during most of the conference, and during a poster session the authors
will have the opportunity to discuss their work with the conference
participants.
All submissions should clearly state the contributions and achievements,
with sufficient detail to understand their significance.
Submissions may contain material already submitted elsewhere, but this
fact has to be stated explicitly in the abstract. Acceptance of such
submissions depends on their special significance for the community.
Papers are to be submitted online through the Easy Chair interface,
available at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mega2015
Acceptance of a submitted contribution means acceptance for oral or
poster presentation only. A special issue of a journal is planned to
which authors of accepted original papers will be invited to submit the
full version after the conference. Only original research contributions
will be considered for publication in the journal special issue.

CWI, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Open PhD and postdoc positions
***********************************************
Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) has vacancies in the Network & Optimization research group for a
PhD student and postdoc in the research project
"Approximation Algorithms, Quantum Information and Semidefinite Optimization?.
This research project aims to explore the limits of efficient computation within classical and quantum computing, using semidefinite optimization as a main unifying tool. The positions involve research into the mathematical and computer science aspects of approximation algorithms for discrete optimization, quantum entanglement in communication, and complexity of fundamental problems in classical and quantum computing.
The project will be carried out in collaboration between Monique Laurent from the CWI Networks & Optimization research group, Ronald de Wolf from the CWI Algorithms & Complexity research group, and Nikhil Bansal from the department of mathematics and computer science of the Technical University Eindhoven. The positions are funded through an NWO-TOP grant.
More information about the project can be found at the website:
