Call for Workshop Proposals for CP-AI-OR 2015 - One-page Proposals Due Friday, January 16, 2015.
The Twelfth International Conference on Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Operations Research (OR) techniques in Constraint Programming (CPAIOR 2015)
http://cpaior2015.uconn.edu/
May 18 - May 22, 2015
Barcelona, Spain
The CP-AI-OR 2015 Program Chair invites proposals for workshops which will take place on May 18, 2015.
The aim of the conference is to bring together interested researchers from Constraint Programming (CP), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Operations Research (OR) to present new techniques or applications in combinatorial optimization and to provide an opportunity for researchers in one area to learn about techniques in the others. A main objective of this conference series is also to give these researchers the opportunity to show how the integration of techniques from different fields can lead to interesting results on large and complex problems. Workshops on topics dedicated to combining and integrating approaches from more than one of the areas are especially solicited.
All workshops will take place on May 18, 2015 at the site of the main conference. Workshops can follow a half-day or a full-day format. The details of the organization of each workshop are left to its organizers.
Workshop proposals are due Friday, January 16, 2015 and should be submitted via email to cpaior2015@gmail.com.
****************************************
Proposals Details
Each workshop proposal should be one-page in length and include the following information:
- Title and abstract giving the goals and scope of the workshop
- Description of the target audience
- List of tentative speakers and / or attendees (if available)
- History of the workshop if this is not the first instance
- Relevant experience of the organizing committee
- Tentative organizing committee members (at least 2 to 3 members)
- Contact information for the organizer.
****************************************
Responsibilities of the workshop organizers
The workshop organizers are responsible for:
- Creating and distributing a call-for-participation and any other relevant advertising. The calls should make it clear that participants will have to present the topics and must attend the Workshop. The call should clearly describe the review and selection process. Finally, the calls must be framed to encourage as broad a participation as possible.
- Creating and publishing (in a timely manner) a website with all the relevant information pertaining to the workshop which will be linked to from the main conference website.
- Providing an extended abstract for the conference program.
- Reviewing and selecting presentation submissions.
- Scheduling the presentations within the workshop
It should be noted that the conference organization does not budget for free registration, accommodation or travel expenses for the workshop organizers or their invited speakers. The workshop organizers should therefore secure any source of funding / sponsorship deemed necessary for their invited speakers.
****************************************
Responsibilities of the CP-AI-OR 2015 Organizing Committee
The conference organization is responsible for:
- Providing publicity for the workshop program as a whole
- Providing logistics at the conference venue (meeting room, coffee breaks, etc.)
- Coordinating the allocation of time blocks for each workshop
- Coordinating the distribution of the workshop proceedings (i.e., online via links from the main conference website).
- Collect the workshop dues covering the costs of space, breaks and distributed documents.
- The CP-AI-OR 2015 Publicity Chair will take care of CFP distributions and publicity of the conference.
****************************************
Workshop Attendance Cost
The cost of attending the workshops will be included in the cost of the conference. A separate (lower) cost will be charged should an individual choose to attend only the workshop and the masters class which is associated with the conference.
****************************************
Submission process
All proposals should be sent electronically to the Program Chair (Laurent D. Michel).

Dear colleagues,
The OR Society of Hungary is pleased to announce a EURO Summer Institute
(ESI) on Online Optimization. The ESI will take place at University of
Szeged, from 15th to 27th June in 2015, the homepage of
the event can be found at http://www.eswi.u-szeged.hu
EURO Summer and Winter Institutes (ESWI) provide an excellent forum for
PhD students and early career researchers to discuss their research at
length with experts in the field, as well as forming links with other
early stage researchers. For further details, see
http://www.euro-online.org/web/pages/458/summerwinter-institutes.
Around twenty early stage researchers from the EURO member societies will
be invited to participate at the ESWI. They must be very early career
academics (PhD students and/or those who have less than two years
research experience post PhD). They have to present the material of an
unpublished piece of work, discussing it with others and with the invited
senior experts in the field. The ESI will also present a series of
lectures
by the invited senior experts. After the ESI, the papers can be submitted
to a special issue of an OR publication (TBA).
Apart from the senior experts, no one can participate in an ESWI more than
once in their lifetime. EURO provides a substantial contribution towards
all the ESWI expenses ?on location? (room and board, social programs,
etc.) and sponsorship is being sought to meet the remaining part of these
expenses. The travel costs, however, must be borne by the participants
themselves, eventually with the support of their national OR societies.
Applicants have to submit an unpublished paper (or a 3-5 pages long report
on ongoing research work) to the Scientific Committee, along with a
curriculum vitae. The Committee will select and rank the candidates on the
basis of submitted papers, and afterwards channel this information to the
national OR societies for funding decisions.
Candidates who fulfill the eligibility rules but exceed the quota of 20
participants or coming from non EURO member society might be accepted, in
a limited number. These candidates should cover their own expenses. Fees
will be also required, but their amount will be specified later.
Interested candidates are asked to notify us in advance in order to help
us assess the likely number of participants. Please send an email to
esi15@inf.u-szeged.hu if you are planning to submit a paper.
Important dates:
31st January 2015 deadline for submission of applications
15th March 2015 selection of Candidates by the Scientific Committee and
communication to the National OR Societies
15th June- 27th June 2015 ESWI at the University of Szeged
30th September 2015 submission of final versions of papers for publication
in the special issue

The Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) metaheuristic is based on
systematic changes in the neighborhood structure within a search, and has
been successfully applied for solving various combinatorial, global
optimization problems, and related tasks. This Call for Papers addresses
the recently growing interest of the research community working on the VNS
methodology.
The aim of this special issue of the International Transactions in
Operational Research (ITOR) is to gather not only recent algorithmic,
theoretical, and methodological developments in the field of Variable
Neighborhood Search, but also to publish surveys and recent applications
in this area. This special issue is also linked to the 3rd International
Conference dedicated to Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS?14), which was
held in Djerba, Tunisia, October 8-11, 2014.
The deadline for submission is February 28, 2015. Although we strongly
encourage authors who attended VNS?14 conference to submit their
manuscripts, this Call for Papers is also open to the entire community of
academics and practitioners. Contributions solicited cover a variety of
topics, including but not limited to:
- Supply chain optimization;
- Job shop scheduling problems;
- Multiobjective VNS;
- VNS hybrids; and
- Real world problems and innovative applications of VNS.
Each paper 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 in the journal 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. Other inquiries should
be sent directly to any of the Guest Editors in charge of this issue:
Angelo Sifaleras (sifalera@uom.gr), Abraham Duarte
(abraham.duarte@urjc.es), Nenad Mladenovic
(nenad.mladenovic@univ-valenciennes.fr), and Kenneth Sorensen

The Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) metaheuristic is based on
systematic changes in the neighborhood structure within a search, and has
been successfully applied for solving various combinatorial, global
optimization problems, and related tasks. This Call for Papers addresses
the recently growing interest of the research community working on the VNS
methodology.
The aim of this special issue of the International Transactions in
Operational Research (ITOR) is to gather not only recent algorithmic,
theoretical, and methodological developments in the field of Variable
Neighborhood Search, but also to publish surveys and recent applications
in this area. This special issue is also linked to the 3rd International
Conference dedicated to Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS?14), which was
held in Djerba, Tunisia, October 8-11, 2014.
The deadline for submission is February 28, 2015. Although we strongly
encourage authors who attended VNS?14 conference to submit their
manuscripts, this Call for Papers is also open to the entire community of
academics and practitioners. Contributions solicited cover a variety of
topics, including but not limited to:
- Supply chain optimization;
- Job shop scheduling problems;
- Multiobjective VNS;
- VNS hybrids; and
- Real world problems and innovative applications of VNS.
Each paper 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 in the journal 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. Other inquiries should
be sent directly to any of the Guest Editors in charge of this issue:
Angelo Sifaleras (sifalera@uom.gr), Abraham Duarte
(abraham.duarte@urjc.es), Nenad Mladenovic
(nenad.mladenovic@univ-valenciennes.fr), and Kenneth Sorensen

Visa Europe and UCL are offering a PhD in Search Based Optimisation of Software Testing
University College London is offering a fully funded student bursary in Search Based Optimisation of Software Testing to start as soon as possible. The student will undertake a UCL PhD, the focus of which will be having a direct impact on improving Visa software systems. It will be a chance for the student to work collaboratively in both academic and industrial sites, developing innovative techniques and evaluating them on real-world systems at Visa.
This impact studentship will recruit a talented and dedicated PhD student to work closely with Visa (at their Paddington site) under the supervision of Mark Harman and Earl Barr (at UCL), on the development and evaluation of advanced test optimisation techniques. Dr. Federica Sarro will also join the supervisor team, providing expertise on full prediction and predictive modelling. You will also have an industrial supervisor, Paul Baker, of Visa Europe.
The primary research question is:
?how can we best develop optimisation processes and techniques to develop effective and efficient testing of web-based systems??
The studentship is funded 50% by UCL and 50% by Visa, demonstrating the commitment of each partner to this project. The student will also be part of the large program grant dynamic adaptive automated software engineering (DAASE), A significant investment by the engineering and physical sciences research Council of the United Kingdom in the area of search based software engineering. More details on the project are available at http://daase.cs.ucl.ac.uk/. The student to whom this studentship bursary is awarded will be situated in the CREST centre, which is part of the Software Systems, Engineering group (SSE) within the Department of Computer Science at UCL. http://crest.cs.ucl.ac.uk/about/
Applications close 5th January 2015
Interviews will take place in the week of the 2nd ? 5th of February 2015

PhD Studentships - Theoretical Analysis of Evolutionary Processes
Applications are invited for PhD studentships funded by the School of Computer Science, University of Nottingham. Studentships are available from October 2015 for a period of three years and include a stipend of ?13,863 per year and tuition fees, and are available to students of any nationality. Applicants are expected to have a first-class Masters or Bachelors degree in Computer Science or related discipline, and must obtain support from a potential supervisor. I am happy support strong applicants interested in the following topic.
Evolutionary algorithms and other randomised search heuristics have been successfully applied to various industrial optimisation domains. However, the theoretical understanding of these methods has been limited. Recently, there has been significant progress in analysing the runtime (also called optimisation time) of randomised search heuristics using rigorous techniques from probability theory, randomised algorithms, and computational complexity. Results about the runtime give insights into how the behaviour of a randomised search heuristic depends on its parameter-settings and on the characteristics of the underlying optimisation problem.
The successful candidate(s) will contribute to this exciting research area, which lies at the interface between probability theory and theoretical computer science. The aim is to develop theory that aids in predicting and controlling the behaviour of evolutionary processes, both natural processes as well as in evolutionary algorithms.
The topic is mathematically challenging and requires an excellent degree in mathematics or computer science. In particular, the candidate should have a strong background in probability theory, discrete mathematics, and/or theoretical computer science.
The research will be carried out in the context of the EU-funded project Speed of Adaptation in Population Genetics and Evolutionary Computation (SAGE) which brings together researchers from population genetics and evolutionary computation. The studentship is locally associated with the Automated Scheduling, OptimisAtion and Planning (ASAP) research group, one of the five main Research Groups within the School of Computer Science at Nottingham.

Visa Europe and UCL are offering a PhD in Search Based Optimisation of Software Testing
University College London is offering a fully funded student bursary in Search Based Optimisation of Software Testing to start as soon as possible. The student will undertake a UCL PhD, the focus of which will be having a direct impact on improving Visa software systems. It will be a chance for the student to work collaboratively in both academic and industrial sites, developing innovative techniques and evaluating them on real-world systems at Visa.
This impact studentship will recruit a talented and dedicated PhD student to work closely with Visa (at their Paddington site) under the supervision of Mark Harman and Earl Barr (at UCL), on the development and evaluation of advanced test optimisation techniques. Dr. Federica Sarro will also join the supervisor team, providing expertise on full prediction and predictive modelling. You will also have an industrial supervisor, Paul Baker, of Visa Europe.
The primary research question is:
?how can we best develop optimisation processes and techniques to develop effective and efficient testing of web-based systems??
The studentship is funded 50% by UCL and 50% by Visa, demonstrating the commitment of each partner to this project. The student will also be part of the large program grant dynamic adaptive automated software engineering (DAASE), A significant investment by the engineering and physical sciences research Council of the United Kingdom in the area of search based software engineering. More details on the project are available at http://daase.cs.ucl.ac.uk/. The student to whom this studentship bursary is awarded will be situated in the CREST centre, which is part of the Software Systems, Engineering group (SSE) within the Department of Computer Science at UCL. http://crest.cs.ucl.ac.uk/about/
Applications close 5th January 2015
Interviews will take place in the week of the 2nd ? 5th of February 2015

PhD Studentships - Theoretical Analysis of Evolutionary Processes
Applications are invited for PhD studentships funded by the School of Computer Science, University of Nottingham. Studentships are available from October 2015 for a period of three years and include a stipend of ?13,863 per year and tuition fees, and are available to students of any nationality. Applicants are expected to have a first-class Masters or Bachelors degree in Computer Science or related discipline, and must obtain support from a potential supervisor. I am happy support strong applicants interested in the following topic.
Evolutionary algorithms and other randomised search heuristics have been successfully applied to various industrial optimisation domains. However, the theoretical understanding of these methods has been limited. Recently, there has been significant progress in analysing the runtime (also called optimisation time) of randomised search heuristics using rigorous techniques from probability theory, randomised algorithms, and computational complexity. Results about the runtime give insights into how the behaviour of a randomised search heuristic depends on its parameter-settings and on the characteristics of the underlying optimisation problem.
The successful candidate(s) will contribute to this exciting research area, which lies at the interface between probability theory and theoretical computer science. The aim is to develop theory that aids in predicting and controlling the behaviour of evolutionary processes, both natural processes as well as in evolutionary algorithms.
The topic is mathematically challenging and requires an excellent degree in mathematics or computer science. In particular, the candidate should have a strong background in probability theory, discrete mathematics, and/or theoretical computer science.
The research will be carried out in the context of the EU-funded project Speed of Adaptation in Population Genetics and Evolutionary Computation (SAGE) which brings together researchers from population genetics and evolutionary computation. The studentship is locally associated with the Automated Scheduling, OptimisAtion and Planning (ASAP) research group, one of the five main Research Groups within the School of Computer Science at Nottingham.

-----------------------------------------
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
-----------------------------------------
Plenty of hard problems in a wide range of application areas,
including engineering design, telecommunications, logistics, etc. have
been modelled and tackled successfully with metaheuristics
(evolutionary algorithms, scatter or swarm search, simulated
annealing, Tabu search, etc.).
Nowadays, optimization problems become increasingly large and complex,
forcing the use of parallel computing for their efficient and
effective resolution. On the other hand, parallel computing has
recently undergone a significant evolution in terms of performance and
energy consumption with the emergence of multi-core and many-core
computing technologies (GPU, MIC, etc.). Indeed, accelerators and
coprocessors have powered many parallel and/or distributed
environements including high-performance workstations, hybrid clusters
among them the top ranked Top500 and Green500 ones, and computational
grids and clouds.
The design and implementation of parallel metaheuristics for the above
environments raise several issues related in the same time to the
characteristics of these hardware execution machines and those of the
parallel models of metaheuristics. This workshop seeks to provide an
opportunity for the researchers to present their original
contributions on the joint use of advanced (discrete or continuous,
single or multi-objective, static or dynamic, deterministic or
stochastic, hybrid) optimization methods and distributed and/or
parallel multi/many-core computing, and any related issues.
-----------------------------------------
TOPICS INCLUDE (BUT NOT LIMITED TO):
-----------------------------------------
Parallel models (island, master-worker, multi-start, etc.) for
metaheuristics revisited for multi-core and/or many-core (MMC)
environments.
Parallel mechanisms for hybridization of metaheuristics on MMC environments.
Implementation of parallel metaheuristics on MMC workstations, MMC
clusters, MMC grids/clouds, etc.
Software frameworks for the design and implementation of parallel
and/or distributed MMC metaheuristics.
Computational/theoretical studies reporting results on solving
challenging problems using MMC computing.
Performance metrics for MMC parallel and/or distributed metaheuristics.
Energy-aware optimization for/with MMC parallel and/or distributed
metaheuristics.

Subject: [DMANET] PhD position in QBF solving at Vienna University of
Technology, Austria
Message-ID: <36B6DBC8-20E5-4EF0-A947-043238BBAF45@szeider.net>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
There is an opening for a funded PhD position in Quantified Boolean Formula (QBF) solving at the Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria.
The PhD student will join Stefan Szeider's research group to develop and implement new methods for leveraging variable independence in QBF solvers, as part of a new research project funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). Applicants are expected to have solid programming skills and a strong interest in theory. A background in QBF or SAT solving is of advantage.
The position is for a duration of three years (the expected duration for completing the PhD). The successful applicant is expected to start in 2015. The salary is according to standard FWF contracts for PhD candidates (approx. EUR 27,500 gross, p.a.), which allows for a convenient living in Vienna close to the city center.
The application should include the candidate's CV, an abstract of their diploma/masters thesis, a short motivation letter, and two letters of recommendation (all five items in a single pdf file). The application should also mention possible starting dates and should be sent to qbf@kr.tuwien.ac.at by February 15, 2015.
