CALL FOR PAPERS

The Ninth IEEE International Workshop on
Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications
(AOC 2015)

http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2015

sponsored by
IEEE Computer Society,
EU FP7 MOTO Project

June 14-17 2015, Boston, MA, USA



The diffusion of lightweight, powerful portable devices, also enriched with a
variety of sensing capabilities, is enabling new ways for users' communication,
and laying the foundation for realizing the ubiquitous networking idea. Acting
either as the main communication mode or as complement to existing mobile
network infrastructures, opportunistic networking can leverage the mobility of
end users and enhance their communication capabilities. The opportunistic
exploitation of extemporary contacts among the users of the network paves the
way to a number of applications but also poses new and challenging problems to
the networking research community. The AOC 2015 workshop aims at serving as a
meeting point for people working in the area and a forum for exchanging ideas,
discussing solutions, and sharing experiences among researchers, professionals,
and application developers, both from industry and academia. As with the
previous eight editions of the AOC workshop series, the scope of this year's
workshop will remain on general issues related to opportunistic networking and
computing. Yet, AOC 2015 will have a primary interest in new directions of
opportunistic communications, such as mobile social networking, autonomous
solutions for smart cities, big data for autonomic and opportunistic systems
service composition techniques, scenarios of co-existence with infrastructure
networks, and insights to their operation coming from other disciplines such as
game theory and cognitive psychology. The workshop will solicit original papers
addressing theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic
communications but also papers describing prototype implementations and
deployments.


Topics of interest for AOC 2015 include, but are not limited to:

- Techniques for data dissemination and replication
- Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms
- Autonomous and self-adaptive systems for smart cities
- Autonomous solutions for IoT and cyber-physical systems
- Big data for autonomic and opportunistic systems
- Mobile social networking algorithms and applications
- Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile wireless
networks
- Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces
- Service composition in autonomic and opportunistic networks
- Cognition-driven information processing and decision making
- Performance modelling, scaling laws, and fundamental limits for autonomic and
opportunistic communications
- Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks
- Game-theoretic insights to the operation of autonomic and opportunistic
networks
- Trust, security, and reputation
- Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and prototypes, measurement
data from real experiments
- Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications
- Autonomic and opportunistic solutions for mobile cloud applications
- Applications and middleware support
- Routing, transport, and reliability issues

The International Transactions in Operational Research (ITOR) will
publish a special issue dedicated to "Applied combinatorial optimization".

Many decision problems that arise in the real world can be modeled and
solved as combinatorial optimization problems. This is an active
research area, where new formulations, algorithms, practical
applications, and theoretical results are often proposed and published.
Current challenges in the field involve modeling of hard problems,
development of exact methods, design and experimental evaluation of
approximate and hybrid methods, among others.

Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics, including but not
limited to:
- Applications of combinatorial optimization,
- Approximation algorithms,
- Bio-informatics,
- Branch-and-cut-and-price algorithms,
- Computational complexity,
- Energy planning,
- Graph theory,
- Heuristics and metaheuristics,
- Hybrid methods,
- Integer programming,
- Natural resource management,
- Network design and analysis,
- Production planning,
- Telecommunications, and
- Transportation and logistics.

Although we strongly encourage the submission of papers presented at the
VIII ALIO/EURO Workshop on Applied Combinatorial Optimization that took
place in Montevideo, Uruguay, from December 8 to 10, 2014, this Call for
Papers is also open to the entire community of academics and practitioners.

All papers will be peer-reviewed according to the editorial policy of
ITOR (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118505725/home),
published by the International Federation of Operational Research
Societies (IFORS). Papers should be original, unpublished, and not
currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. They should be
prepared according to the instructions to authors that can be found in
the journal homepage. Authors should upload their contributions using
the submission site http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/itor, indicating in
their cover letter that the paper is intended for this special issue.

The deadline for submissions is April 30, 2015. Other inquiries should
be sent directly to any of the Guest Editors in charge of this issue:
H?ctor Cancela (cancela@fing.edu.uy), Simone Martins (simone@ic.uff.
br), Antonio Mauttone (mauttone@fing.edu.uy), and Mar?a E. Urquhart

Ph.D. students with background in
- graph algorithms,
- discrete mathematics, or
- linear solvers
are encouraged to apply for the 2015 Co-Design Summer School.

The Los Alamos IS&T Co-Design Summer School was created to train future scientists to work on the kinds of interdisciplinary teams that are demand?ed by today?s challenges. Launched in 2011, the summer school recruits top candidates in a range of fields spanning domain science, applied mathematics, computational and computer science, and computer architecture. Participants work together to solve a focused problem that is designed to build the skills needed to tackle the grand challenges of the future. Foremost among these skills is the ability to work across disciplines with other team members, while employing their own unique expertise. This is the heart of co-design. Students will receive a fellowship to cover relocation and living expenses.

For the 2015 Summer school, one task of interest is to develop and apply graph partitioning methods for speeding up computations by increasing the amount of available parallelism and reducing the amount of communication of high performance simulations codes. Selected candidates will closely collaborate with members of a multi-year project on quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) simulations including other Ph.D. students, postdocs, and scientists in areas such as material science, quantum chemistry, applied mathematics, and computer science.

Applicants for the summer school must

- be enrolled in a PhD program at an accredited university in a relevant field of study, and

- be available to live and work in Los Alamos, New Mexico for 10 weeks, sometime from mid-May through early September of 2015 (exact dates TBD).



To apply for the school, please send a current CV to apply-2015-codesign@lanl.gov<mailto:apply-2015-codesign@lanl.gov> with cc to djidjev@lanl.gov<mailto:djidjev@lanl.gov>.
