============================================================
IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Inter-Dependent Networks (WIDN)

SCOPE AND TOPICS OF INTEREST
---------------------------------------------------

Modern networked systems, in particular, networked physical
infrastructures, are inter-dependent in such a way that changing in one
network may have a profound impact on other systems. One notable example of
such interdependent networked system is the smart-grid, of which the power
stations depend on communication networks for control and management and
vice versa, the communication networks depend on the power systems for
their electricity supports. Furthermore, the rapid adoption and
pervasiveness of computing, and emergence of smart cyber-physical systems
and Internet of Things (IoT) have created new capabilities for autonomy,
interoperability, interaction and cooperation between many critical
computing, communication and control networks (?cyber systems?) and
physical infrastructures and ?smart? environments (?physical systems?).
Unfortunately, the connections with cyberspace also open to new surfaces of
vulnerabilities and new threat vectors. The challenge is to understand the
interdependencies of these systems and how the dynamics are cascaded
between them so as to design and develop ?smarter? and more resilient
inter-dependent networked (cyber-physical) systems.

The objective of this workshop is to advance and promote theoretical
foundations for understanding the behaviors of and inter-dependencies in
modern networked systems -- especially, in critical (networked) physical
infrastructure systems -- and emerging cyber-physical systems. It also
seeks to explore new system architectures and innovative mechanisms for the
design and development of robust and resilient interdependent networked
systems. This workshop will foster an interdisciplinary research community
that discovers new knowledge for the design and operation of national
critical networked infrastructures as processes and services.

WIDN 2015 is inherently interdisciplinary, as it attempts to integrate
across the cyber-physical, engineering and social, behavioral and economic
(SBE) sciences in pursuit of an understanding of the interdependent
critical infrastructure systems (ICIs). The workshop in order to
accommodate the distinct traditions of its many disciplines, provides three
different submission formats.

- Full papers (6 pages)
- Position papers (6 pages)
- Extended Abstracts (upto 2 pages, for non-computer science disciplines)

LIST OF TOPICS

The Workshop on Inter-Dependent Networks (WIDN) welcomes contributions that
are mainly involved, but not limited to the following (non-exhaustive) list
of topics, relevant to its broader scope:

- Understand and design of interdependent critical infrastructures
- Vulnerability and resilience of interdependent networks
- Cascading failures in interdependent networks
- Multiplex and multi-layered networks
- Network representations
- Complexity and approximation of interdependent networks optimization
and control techniques
- Theoretical frameworks and multidisciplinary computational models of
interdependent networks
- Analytical prediction of complex behaviors
- Cyber-physical systems

IMPORTANT DATES

supply chain management, production planning, scheduling, project
management, transportation and traffic management, energy management, DEA
and performance management, financial modelling, ...;
applications in industry, in the energy sector, in life sciences and in
bioinformatics, in public services, in engineering, in sports, in health
care institutions, in banking, in telecommunications, ...;

*** Update: Plenary speakers ***

Marc Sevaux (Univ. Bretagne Sud, F) will give a talk on the use of OR
techniques to manage wireless sensor networks.

Nick Street (Univ. Iowa, US) will discuss the use of OR in Big Data.

To present your work at ORBEL29, we invite you to submit a two-page
abstract through the conference website (www.orbel29.be).

Important dates:

Abstract submission: Friday, January 2, 2015.
Abstract acceptance: Friday, January 9, 2015.

Dear Colleagues,

The Optima Network Science <http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/OptimaNetSci/>
group at University of Florida has two openings for Postdoc in the areas of
networks science, social networks, wireless systems, and cyber-security and
expected to be filled as soon as possible.

The work is strongly interdisciplinary in nature, requiring a strong
background in math, especially graph theory, optimization, and
approximation algorithms, with a deep understanding of engineering aspects
of the related networking systems.

Interested candidates can send the applications to mythai@cise.ufl.edu,
with a subject Postdoc, including: 1) CV, 2) Brief Research Statement, and
3) Two of your best papers.
