Applications are now invited for 15 PhD positions (?Early Stage Researchers?) to be funded by the Marie-Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network ?MICROWINE-Microbial Metagenomics and the Modern Wine Industry?, a multidisciplinary study on Viticulture and Wine Microbiology within the Horizon2020 programme of the European Union. Each PhD position is fully funded for 3 years. The positions are based at 13 institutions, in 8 countries, and cover a wide range of disciplines including microbial metagenomics, wine genetics, bioinformatics, geology, chemistry and mathematical modeling. ESR?s must commence no later than 1st September 2015. For full details on the network, sub-projects, host institutions, eligibility requirements, and how to apply please go to the project website at http://www.microwine.eu/recruitment.

Among the 15 PhD positions, one is based at the Inria in Rh?ne-Alpes, more precisely in the Inria team ERABLE located in Lyon, France (http://team.inria.fr/erable/). The specific topic may be found here:http://www.microwine.eu/projects/esr15. The preferred profile is for a computer scientist or computational biologist with a solid background in algorithm design and graph theory, and a strong interest for modelling problems in biology, and more generally for systems biology. Specific questions about the team may be sent to Marie-France Sagot at: marie-france.sagot@inria.fr, but general questions about the MicroWine project must be sent to Lea Ellegaard-Jensen at: inquireries@microwine.eu. Applications for this position are made exclusively through the site: http://www.microwine.eu/recruitment.

Please note that applications are welcomed from any qualified applicants, regardless of gender, ethnicity or country of origin, but will only be considered if eligibility requirements are met and the application guidelines are strictly adhered to. For further information please contact the project administrator, Lea Ellegaard-Jensen at:inquireries@microwine.eu.

13th Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms
(WAOA 2015)=20
algo2015.upatras.gr/waoa <http://algo2015.upatras.gr/waoa>

First Call for papers


Deadline: June 19th, 2015


Scope

Algorithms have become a fundamental tool in several fields outside of =
Computer Science, and in several applications algorithms have to cope =
with computationally hard problems and problems in which the input is =
gradually disclosed over time. The workshop focuses on the design and =
analysis of approximation and online algorithms. WAOA 2015 will be part =
of ALGO 2015, which also hosts ESA, ALGOCLOUD, ALGOSENSORS, ATMOS, IPEC, =
and MASSIVE. ALGO 2015 will take place 14-18 September 2015 in Patras, =
Greece.


Topics

Papers are solicited in all research areas related to approximation and =
online algorithms, including, but not limited to:

algorithmic game theory
algorithmic trading
coloring and partitioning
competitive analysis
computational advertising
computational finance
cuts and connectivity
geometric problems
graph algorithms
inapproximability results
mechanism design
natural algorithms
network design
packing and covering
paradigms for the design and analysis of approximation and online =
algorithms
parameterized complexity
real-world applications
scheduling problems


Publication

Proceedings will be published after the workshop takes place in the =
Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Instructions for =
authors can be found at Springer web site.


Submission guidelines

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at =
most 12 pages in Springer's LNCS style (please add page numbers) =
describing original unpublished research. Simultaneous submission to =
other conferences with published proceedings is not permitted. The title =
page of the submission should include the authors' full names, =
addresses, e-mail addresses, and an abstract summarizing the results in =
roughly 100-200 words; the remainder of the submission should contain a =
description of the main results and an explanation of their importance. =
The submission must include a full proof of the results, part of which =
can be placed in the appendix, whose length is not constrained. Papers =
should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system.

The WAOA proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer =
Science series by Springer-Verlag. Each accepted paper will be allotted =
12 pages in the proceedings.


Important Dates

Submissions: June 19th, 2015
Notifications: July 24th, 2015
Workshop: September 17-18th, 2015
Camera Ready: October 16th, 2015

Subject: [DMANET] ITOR: Special Issue on "Applied combinatorial
optimization"
Message-ID: <5507206D.30506@fing.edu.uy>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed


CALL FOR PAPERS

International Transactions in Operational Research
Special issue on "Applied combinatorial optimization"

Guest Editors:
- H?ctor Cancela, Universidad de la Rep?blica, Uruguay
- Simone Martins, Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil
- Antonio Mauttone, Universidad de la Rep?blica, Uruguay
- Mar?a E. Urquhart, Universidad de la Rep?blica, Uruguay

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
(urquhart@fing.edu.uy).
