Subject: [DMANET] CG Week Multimedia Exposition - Final Call for
Submissions
Message-ID: <54D902CE.6040003@cs.princeton.edu>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed
The deadline is this Friday!
----------------------------
Video and multimedia contributions are sought for the 24th Multimedia
Exposition in Computational Geometry, a part of CG Week 2015. This
event showcases the use of visualization in computational geometry
for exposition and education, for visual exploration of geometry in
research, and as an interface and a debugging tool in software
development. Algorithm animations, visual explanations of structural
theorems, descriptions of applications of computational geometry,
demonstrations of software systems, and games that illustrate
concepts from computational geometry are all appropriate. There are
no limitations on creativity, anything that leverages the
possibilities of multimedia to enlighten and entertain the viewer
while learning about computational geometry will do. This includes
rendered animation, films with narrators and/or actors, and
interactive stories.
We seek submissions of high quality, judged by how well they exploit
the creative possibilities of their respective formats. That is, a
screencast of static slides with some voice-over will hardly do.
QUALITY ISSUES
For videos, a length of three to five minutes is usually ideal; ten
minutes is the upper limit. For the final version, we require video
in 720P or better, using H.264. The embedded audio stream should be
AAC of at least 128kBit/s. Telephone-sounding audio (limited
frequency range, noise) or live rooms, as often recorded with cheap
headsets, must be avoided, as well as speakers with too heavy accent.
There are no general guidelines for other content. Interactive
applications (e.g., HTML5, Flash, AIR, Java, etc.) should have a
"demo" mode where the algorithm runs on its own. They should be
submitted as a distributable package.
To conserve resources, please try to keep your submission at a
reasonable size. The program committee may recode the submission at a
lower quality to reduce the space requirements. Authors are free to
post higher quality versions on their own web sites, and we will
include links in the electronic proceedings to their version, in
addition to the official version archived on
www.computational-geometry.org
It is strongly encouraged to contact the PC well in advance
to 1) discuss the quality of a video submission (based on sample
files) or 2) to present your non-video idea and how it could be
reviewed, presented, and distributed.
SUBMISSION
Submissions should be deposited online where they are accessible
through the web or via FTP. A video submission should play
trouble-free on programs like VLC Media Player. For ease of sharing
and viewing, we encourage (but do not require) that each video
submission be uploaded to YouTube (not necessarly publicly visible),
and that the corresponding URL be included with the submission.
Each submission should include a three-page description of the
material shown in the presentation, and where applicable, the
techniques used in the implementation. This three-page description
must be formatted according to the guidelines for the conference
proceedings, using the LIPIcs format. LIPIcs typesetting instructions
can be found at http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics and
the lipics.cls LaTeX style file at
http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/lipics/lipics-authors.tgz.
Send a mail to the committee chair, Wolfgang Mulzer
(mulzer@inf.fu-berlin.de) by February 13, 2015, 23:59 (UTC-12), with
the following information:
- the names and institutions of the authors
- the email address of the corresponding author
- instructions for downloading the submission
- if available: the link to the YouTube video
- and the PDF abstract.
We explicitly encourage video/multimedia submissions that support
papers submitted to the Symposium on Computational Geometry.
However, submitted papers and associated video/multimedia
submissions will be treated entirely separately by the respective
committees: acceptance or rejection of one will not influence
acceptance or rejection of the other. Authors will be notified of
acceptance or rejection, and given reviewers' comments, by March 09,
2015. For each accepted submission, the final version of the 3-page
textual description will be due by March 23, 2015 for inclusion in
the proceedings. Final versions of accepted video/multimedia
presentations will be due April 30, 2015.
IMPORTANT DATES
February 13, 2015: Video and multimedia submissions due
March 9, 2015: Notification of acceptance/rejection of
videos/multimedia

*************************************************************************************
Submission Deadline: Feb 28, 2015
Selected best papers of McM'2015 will be considered for publication in
a special issue
of the Wiley's journal of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and
Experience (CC-PE).
-----------------------------------------
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,
abu 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 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.

PhDs in Logic VII
May 14-16th, 2015
VIENNA, AUSTRIA
http://phdsinlogic.logic-cs.at
The submission deadline is extended to February 19, 2015.
FINAL CALL FOR ABSTRACTS AND PARTICIPATION
PhDs in Logic is an annual graduate conference in logic. Each year we
invite four established researchers in various branches of logic to do a
tutorial on their work in two 45-minute sessions. We also give PhD
students the opportunity to do a twenty-minute presentation on (a) their
own work or (b) an overview of some topic in their field.
The conference includes the following tutorial speakers.
Thomas Eiter (Vienna University of Technology)
Michael Moortgat (Universiteit Utrecht)
Revantha Ramanayake (Vienna University of Technology)
Torsten Schaub (University Potsdam)
PhD students in logic with a background in philosophy, computer science,
mathematics or linguistics are the intended audience for these
tutorials. They are also the type of students we have in mind for our
thirty-minute student sessions. Students interested in doing a talk
should send a 500-1000 word blinded abstract to
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pil2015 by February 19th, 2015.
The selection of the talks will follow a double-blind review process.
Please make sure that your name and affiliation are not included in the
abstract.
We welcome students to participate in PhDs in Logic VII regardless of
whether they want to do a presentation. We also invite master students
in logic, first year postdocs, and logicians from disciplines other than
philosophy, computer science, mathematics and linguistics to apply.
Students interested in participating without giving a talk should
contact us at phdsinlogic@gmail.com.
