CiE 2015: Evolving Computability - 2nd CfP - Bucharest, 29/6-3/7/2015
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd CALL FOR PAPERS:
COMPUTABILITY IN EUROPE 2015: Evolving Computability
Bucharest, Romania
June 29 - July 3
http://fmi.unibuc.ro/CiE2015/





IMPORTANT DATES:

Submission Deadline for LNCS: 11 January 2015
Notification of authors: 9 March 2015
Deadline for final revisions: 6 April 2015

This 2nd call for papers contains news on FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES, the list
of INVITED SPEAKERS and SPECIAL SESSIONS, as well as details on the
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE and the PROCEEDINGS.

CiE 2015 is the 11-th conference organized by CiE (Computability in
Europe), a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer
scientists, philosophers, physicists and others interested in new
developments in computability and their underlying significance for the
real world. Previous meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005), Swansea
(2006), Siena (2007), Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta Delgada
(2010), Sofia (2011), Cambridge (2012), Milan (2013) and Budapest (2014)

Evolution of the universe, and us within it, invite a parallel evolution in
understanding. The CiE agenda - fundamental and engaged - targets the
extracting and developing of computational models basic to current
challenges. From the origins of life, to the understanding of human
mentality, to the characterising of quantum randomness - computability
theoretic questions arise in many guises. The CiE community, this coming
year meeting for the first time in Bucharest, carries forward the search
for coherence, depth and new thinking across this rich and vital field of
research.

In all cases we are looking for fundamental and theoretical submissions. In
line with other conferences in this series, CiE 2015 has a broad scope and
provides a forum for the discussion of theoretical and practical issues in
Computability with an emphasis on new paradigms of computation and the
development of their mathematical theory.

We particularly invite papers that build bridges between different parts of
the research community.

For topics covered by the conference, please visit
http://fmi.unibuc.ro/CiE2015/topics.html

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES:

PhD Scholarship (APAI)
The University of Melbourne

Maximising value in underground mine planning.

Scholarship Description
An exciting opportunity is available to an enthusiastic, talented student to help improve the efficiency and value of Australian mines and reduce financial risk in a highly volatile minerals market. This research will contribute to the development of commercial software which will enhance the reputation of Australia's $2 billion mining products and services industry. The University of Melbourne is offering an APAI PhD scholarship to work on a recently commenced ARC Linkage Project (2014-2017) which will address some of the issues faced in underground mine planning. While integrated optimisation of design and production in open cut mining is well established, no equivalent capability is available for underground mines. This project will develop innovative techniques to optimise the design of the access network and the production scheduling in an underground mine in order to maximise value over the life of the operation. One of the possible areas of research is a generalisati!
on of the obstacle avoidance problem; designing minimum cost curvature and gradient constrained paths through a series of regions, where the cost of constructing and supporting a path varies from region to region. The practical outcome will be new strategic software tools for the sector, underpinning increased efficiency and sustainability of our mines as well as international competitiveness. In the long term, these tools will change the way underground mine planning is carried out, and the basis on which key design decisions are made.

The project is run by the University of Melbourne in collaboration with the Australian mining companies Rand Mining and Tribune Resources. The student will have an opportunity to work with the industry partners and will benefit from the advice of mining engineers in the field, as well as a site visit. Suitable applicants should have a strong background in applied mathematics, operations research, engineering or an equivalent field.
