women: the Department ensures that every female PhD student is
allocated a female member of staff as a point of contact, and
organises networking events for female academic staff and PhD
students.
Several research projects are available, including topics in Algebraic
Graph Theory and Enumerative Combinatorics. Full details of projects

Applications are invited for two research positions at the School of
Computer Science (SCS), Reykjavik University, funded by a grant from
the Icelandic Research Fund, under the direction of Prof. Magnus M.
Halldorsson. The positions can be either at any level: Ph.D. student,
post-doctoral, or at faculty level.
The application deadline is March 15, 2015.
The foci of the research group can be divided into three interrelated
areas: algorithms for wireless networks; distributed graph algorithms;
and approximation algorithms on graphs and networks.
Applicants should have a strong research profile (or potential) and a
solid background in the analysis of algorithms. A general
understanding of networking and/or distributed computing is expected.
Self-motivation, open mind and team spirit are all helpful
ingredients.

Conference "Random walks on graphs and potential theory", University of
Warwick, 18-22 May 2015.
Random walks on graphs are studied in many contexts, including analysis,
computer science, group theory, and of course probability and graph
theory. This meeting will gather experts from all these fields, in order
to emphasise the breadth of the topic and facilitate interactions.

The Scottish Combinatorics Meeting 2015 will take place at the University
of Glasgow on Wednesday 29th and Thursday 30th April 2015. Everyone with
an interest in combinatorics and its applications is warmly invited to
attend this meeting, the first in what we hope will become a regular series
of events.
Attendance at the meeting is free, but for catering purposes participants
are asked to register (by emailing kitty.meeks@glasgow.ac.uk) by 31st
March. The exact schedule is still to be confirmed, but talks will not
start before 11am and will finish by 5pm, hopefully allowing many
participants to attend as a day trip.
The invited speakers are:
Peter Cameron (St Andrew's)
Mary Cryan (Edinburgh)
Keith Edwards (Dundee)
Sergey Kitaev (Strathclyde)
Mark Jerrum (QMUL)
David Manlove (Glasgow)
Alex Scott (Oxford)
Andrew Treglown (Birmingham)
There will also be an opportunity for research students to give short (15
minute) presentations on their work, and limited funds are available to
assist with the travel expenses of students presenting their work. Please
contact Kitty Meeks for more information.
More information about the event is available at:
http://www.maths.gla.ac.uk/~kmeeks/scm/
This event is supported by the Glasgow Mathematical Journal Trust, the
British Combinatorial Committee and the Scottish Informatics and Computer
Science Alliance.

date may not be reviewed.
Submissions will be refereed on the basis of technical quality, novelty,
significance, and clarity. Each submission will be thoroughly reviewed by
at least two program committee members.
For questions about the submission process, contact the workshop co-chairs.
Reviewing process
-----------------
Papers will be reviewed by at least 2 program committee members. Criteria
for selection of papers will include: technical quality, novelty,
significance, and clarity.
Publication
-----------
Pre-proceedings containing all accepted papers are provided electronically
on a USB stick as a part of the AAMAS workshop registration package. Best
papers from OptMAS 2008 and OptMAS 2009 were selected for publication in
the special issue on Optimisation in Multi-Agent System of the Journal of
Autonomous and Multiagent Systems. Best papers from OptMAS 2011 and 2012
were invited to submit to a special issue on Optimisation in Multi-Agent
System of the Computer Journal. We plan to continue this initiative for the
current and next editions.
