AGT@IJCAI 2015 Preliminary Call for Papers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1st Workshop on Algorithmic Game Theory at IJCAI
Buenos Aires, Argentina
July 24-31, 2015
http://www.intelligence.tuc.gr/agt2015

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Deadlines:

April 27, 2015 - Submission of contributions to workshops;
May 20, 2015 - Workshop paper acceptance notification;
May 30, 2015 - Deadline for final camera ready copy to workshop organizers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope:

Over the past fifteen years, research in theoretical computer science,
artificial intelligence, and microeconomics has joined forces to
tackle problems involving incentives and computation. This research
field, commonly named Algorithmic Game Theory, is becoming
increasingly more relevant

The main aim of this one-day long workshop is to bring together the
rich variety of scientists that IJCAI attracts in order to have a
multidisciplinary forum within which discuss and analyze current and
novel challenges that the research in Algorithmic Game Theory faces.

Submission:

All paper submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated on the basis
of the quality of their contribution, originality, soundness, and
significance. Industrial applications and position papers presenting
novel ideas, issues, challenges and directions are also welcome.
Submissions are invited in, but not limited to, the following topics:

- Algorithmic mechanism design
- Auction algorithms and analysis
- Behavioral Game Theory
- Bounded rationality
- Computational advertising
- Computational aspects of equilibria
- Computational social choice
- Convergence and learning in games
- Coalitions, coordination and collective action
- Economic aspects of security and privacy
- Economic aspects of distributed and network computing
- Information and attention economics
- Network games
- Price differentiation and price dynamics
- Social networks

Papers are to be submitted electronically on easychair. Submission
link and submission format will be available on the workshop website
in due course.

Publication:

To widen participation and encourage discussion, there will be no
formal publication of workshop proceedings. Therefore, submissions of
preliminary work and papers to be submitted or in preparation for
submission to other major venues in the field are encouraged.

Subject: [DMANET] House of Graphs: a database of interesting graphs --
an update
Message-ID: <54E34623.6080801@ugent.be>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

Already in 2012 we announced the website "House of Graphs" --
http://hog.grinvin.org/ -- through this mailing list. In the meantime
several new lists of graphs, "interesting graphs", and invariants have
been added to the website.

"House of Graphs" hosts lists of graphs (like Snarks, Fullerenes, etc.)
and links to other pages with lists of combinatorial structures (like
vertex transitive graphs, Ramsey graphs, etc.). But its main feature is
a searchable database of graphs that already occurred as counterexamples
to conjectures, as extremal graphs or in other contexts. In short we
call this the database of "interesting graphs".

The key idea is that although already for small vertex numbers extremely
many graphs exist, there are some that serve again and again as
counterexamples and that a database of these graphs should be
established. In this database one can e.g. search for graphs with
certain invariant values, graphs with a certain name (e.g. Petersen,
Heawood, Balaban, etc.) or graphs that are marked as being interesting
for a certain invariant (e.g. marked as being interesting for the
girth). These searches can of course also be combined and the results
downloaded so that one gets good candidates for testing new conjectures
one is working on.

Users can also add graphs to the database. If the graphs are not yet in
the database, the system computes invariant values for the graphs. So
the database can also be used as a repository. If you discover new
interesting graphs, you can make them available to other users by
submitting them to the database together with a text identifier (e.g.
counterexample_this_conjecture). Then other scientists can find and
download the graph from "House of Graphs".

More information on "House of Graphs" and its functionalities is given in:

55th Meeting of the EURO Working Group "Commodities and Financial Modelling"

METU, Ankara, Turkey, May 14-16, 2015

First Call For Papers

http://ewgcfm2015.iam.metu.edu.tr/


55th Meeting of the EWGCFM (EWGCFM 2015) is organized by Institute of
Applied Mathematics (IAM; http://iam.metu.edu.tr/) of Middle East Technical
University (METU), EURO Working Group ?Commodities and Financial Modelling?
(EWGCFM; http://www.ewgfm.eu/) and The Association of European Operational
Research Societies (EURO; http://www.euro-online.org/). This conference will
take place at the campus of METU (http://www.metu.edu.tr/) in Ankara,
Turkey, on May 14-16, 2015.

EWGCFM 2015 is an element of the conference series, whose 54th meeting is
going to take place in Milano, Italy, in December 2014. The EURO Working
Group EWGCFM was founded in September 1986 in Lisbon. The primary field of
interest for the working group can be described as "financial models that
help to solve problems faced by financial managers in the firm". EWGCFM 2015
will contribute to this purpose in modelling and problem solving through
advances in theory, methods and practice, by applications of mathematics and
statistics, economics and management sciences, engineering and environmental
sciences, supported by modern Operational Research.

We are pleased to announce the following Invited Speakers of the conference:

Vedat Akgiray (Bogazici University, Turkey), Constantinos Kardaras (London
School of Economics, UK), R?diger Kiesel (University of Duisburg-Essen,
Germany), Stan Uryasev (University of Florida, USA).

Abstract Submission:

We invite all researchers, academicians, practitioners, as well as students
interested in commodities and financial modelling to participate at the
conference and to present their research. Abstract submission and
registration are both online, via the conference web page
(http://ewgcfm2015.iam.metu.edu.tr/). Abstracts with max. 3000 characters
should be submitted online latest by February 28, 2015 (extended deadline).

The Conference also offers its registered participants submit their full
manuscript to the "Special Issue of Annals of Operations Research Advances
of OR in Commodities and Financial Modelling". Authors should select the
category "Special Issue: Advances of OR in Commodities and Financial
Modelling" when looking for the (right) special issue in the submission
system.


Institute of Applied Mathematics (IAM), established in the year 2002, is a
Graduate School and interdisciplinary centre with four programs:
Financial Mathematics, Actuarial Sciences, Scientific Computing and
Cryptography; it fosters various research and teaching activities in
mathematical sciences. IAM supports and coordinates mathematics-based
interdisciplinary education and research at METU, and it initiates and
undertakes collaborative research with different industries and scientific
organizations in Turkey, Europe and all over the world. IAM is pleased to
welcome colleagues and friends from Europe and all over the world to celebrate
an unforgettable premium conference at the beautiful campus of METU in Ankara,
capital of hospitable Turkey!
