POSTDOC IN ONLINE ALGORITHMS

A CS postdoc position in online algorithms is available at the
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (IMADA),
University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark, supported by
the Villum Foundation grant "On-Line Algorithms and Advice".
It is a one year position with a starting date of September 1,
2015 (somewhat negotiable). The project is centered around
online algorithms with a special focus on the relatively new
framework of advice complexity. See the project home page
(www.imada.sdu.dk/~joan/villum/) for earlier activities and
publications in this project, as well as home pages for the
people involved. This is a research position, though there is
a possibility of minor teaching or advising responsibilities.

The candidate should have a PhD degree in Computer Science
before the starting date of the position. Research experience
at a postdoctoral level is an advantage. A successful
candidate should have an excellent research record in
algorithms. Experience in online algorithms or approximation
algorithms would be an advantage. Fluency in English is
required.

The base salary is DKK 31,951 per month (approx. 4300 Euro).
For non-residents of Denmark, the pension savings can be
converted to an additional salary increase of DKK 5350. With
higher than normal career seniority, both numbers increase.
Reasonable travel funding will be available.

The application deadline is Monday, February 16, 2015. For
information on how to apply, please see:
http://www.sdu.dk/en/servicenavigation/right/ledige_stillinger

Informal inquiries by email to Professor Kim S. Larsen
(kslarsen@imada.sdu.dk) are welcome.

fall into at least one of the following categories:



- Foundations and principles of distributed cloud computing



- Experience with and performance evaluation of existing deployments and
measurements (public, private, hybrid, federated environments)



- Optimization and algorithms



- Architectural models, prototype implementations and applications



- Virtualization technology and enablers (network virtualization,
software-defined networking)



- Service and resource specification, languages, and formal verification



- Economics and pricing



SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION



Submissions are single-blind and should not exceed 4 pages in length (in ACM
format: http://www.sigmetrics.org/sig-alternate-per.cls).



Accepted papers will appear in a Special Issue of the ACM Performance
Evaluation Review (PER). Authors of accepted papers grant ACM permission to
publish them in print and digital formats. There are no copyright issues
with PER, and thus authors retain the copyright of their work with complete
freedom to submit their work elsewhere.

===================================================

2nd summer school "Algorithmic and Enumerative Combinatorics" (AEC 2015)
RISC, J. Kepler University Linz, Austria, July 27-31, 2015

https://www.risc.jku.at/conferences/aec2015/

===================================================

Within the framework of the SFB "Algorithmic and Enumerative
Combinatorics", the summer school AEC 2015 will be held at the
Research Institute for Symbolic Computation (Johannes Kepler
University Linz) in Hagenberg. It is jointly organized with the
combinatorics groups at the University of Vienna and the Vienna
University of Technology.

The goal of this summer school is to put forward the interplay
between the fields of Enumerative Combinatorics, Analytic
Combinatorics, and Algorithmics. This is a very active research
area, which, aside from the three fields fueling each other
mutually, receives as well constant impetus from outside, by its
interaction with algebra, probability, statistical physics, and
computer science.

The summer school will feature three series of lectures, given by

? - Matthias Beck? (San Francisco State University, U.S.A.)
? - Igor Pak (University of California, Los Angeles, U.S.A.)
? - Mark van Hoeij (Florida State University, U.S.A.)

Each series of lectures will present a recent exciting trend in
these three research fields.

Aside from the three lecture series (5 hours each), there is time
for a limited number of contributed talks (20 minutes each).

There will be no conference fee. Lodging will be arranged at the
Hotel Sommerhaus Hagenberg (around 300 m distance from the venue
where the summer school wll be held). A single room costs 37 Euro
and a double room costs 67 Euro per day (breakfast and internet
connection are included).

There are limited funds available for participant support.

Important deadlines

???? Application for participant support: June 1, 2015
???? Submission of contributed talks: June 1, 2015
???? Acceptance of contributed talks: June 10, 2015
???? Registration: June 15, 2015

or application of distributed systems and networks, and, in particular,
of conceptually innovative results are solicited.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: algorithms for
distributed systems and their complexity, cluster, cloud, grid and
high-performance computing, communication networks (protocols,
architectures, services, applications), concurrent programming,
synchronization, shared and transactional memory, cryptographic
protocols and system security, distributed operating systems, databases

nanonetworks, biological distributed algorithms, quantum and optics
based distributed algorithms, self-stabilizing, self-organizing and
autonomic systems, sensor, mobile, ad-hoc, robot and peer-to-peer
networks.

Conference presentations will have two formats:

Regular presentations of 25 minutes accompanied by papers of up to
10 pages in the proceedings. This form is intended for contributions
reporting on original research, submitted exclusively to this
conference.

Brief announcements of 5 to 10 minutes accompanied by two page
abstracts in the proceedings. This format is a forum for brief
communications, which may be published in other conferences.

Submission:

Papers are to be submitted electronically, following the guidelines
available on the conference web page. Authors unable to submit
electronically should contact the program chair to receive
instructions.

Each submission must be in English, in PDF format, and begin with a
cover page including: (1) the title, (2) the names and affiliations of
all authors, (3) contact author's email, address and telephone number,
(4) a brief, one paragraph abstract of the paper, (5) indication
whether the paper is a regular submission, or a brief announcement
submission, (6) indication whether the submission is eligible to be
considered for the best student paper award.

A regular submission must not exceed 10 single-column pages (excluding
cover page and references). Additional necessary details may be
included in a clearly marked appendix that will be read at the
discretion of the program committee. A brief announcement submission
must not exceed 3 single-column pages. All submissions must use at
least 11-point font and have reasonable margins. Any submission
deviating from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration
of its merit.

It is recommended that a regular submission begin with a succinct
statement of the problem being addressed, a summary of the main results
or conclusions, a brief explanation of their significance, a brief
statement of the key ideas, and a comparison with related work, all
tailored to a non-specialist. Technical development of the work,
directed to the specialist, should follow. Papers outside of the
conference scope will be rejected without review.

If requested by the authors on the cover page, a regular submission
that is not selected for a regular presentation will also be considered
for the brief announcement format. This will not affect consideration
of the paper for a regular presentation.

Publication:

Regular papers and brief announcements will be included in the
conference proceedings. Extended and revised versions of selected
papers will be considered for a special issue of the Distributed
Computing journal. Two papers will be considered for publication in
JACM.

Paper awards:

Prizes will be given to the best paper and best student paper. A paper
is eligible for the best student paper if at least one of its authors
is a full-time student at submission time. This must be indicated in
the cover page. The PC may decline to confer awards or may split
awards.
