*Post-doc fellowship: Modeling the spread of infectious diseases through
transport networks and human mobility *at The University of New South
Wales *(posted
4/3/15).*
A one year post-doc fellowship starting in 2015, with a possibility of
extension is available for a suitably qualified candidate to work on the
topic of the spread of infectious diseases. The research will focus on the
development of optimization based network models for predicting outbreak
behaviour, and developing control measures. The researcher will be part of
a multidisciplinary research team which includes the School of Civil and
Environmental Engineering and the School of Public Health and Community
Medicine.
The role: this study is motivated by the need to track viruses through
space and time in order to understand outbreak behaviour of emerging
infectious diseases, and aid in the implementation of real-time containment
strategies. Most epidemiologic models are not able to reconstruct the
contagion process of an ongoing outbreak to reveal information about the
current state of the network. Thus, there exists a gap in the literature
which calls for scenario specific disease prediction models. Recent
advances in social and activity based travel modelling and real time case
reporting offer invaluable information which can be utilized during
outbreaks to track the infection process. As such, it is critical to
develop methods which can exploit this data in aiding the prevention and
mitigation of contagion episodes.
The person: we are seeking an applicant with a background in mathematics,
physics, complex systems, engineering or a related field with a
quantitative background in network modelling and optimization.
Contact: If you are interested in this position or would like additional
information, please contact Dr. Lauren Gardner on l.gardner@unsw.edu.au

Subject: [DMANET] EURANDOM workshop on "Scheduling under Uncertainty"
Message-ID:
<CACKn549C8uzTZvPfYDcPJ_VCOzGi09mt2fOWQa63vaXJwQhRSA@mail.gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
We're proud to announce the upcoming workshop on "Scheduling under
Uncertainty".
The workshop will feature an exciting program with several top
speakers and take place at EURANDOM, Eindhoven University of
Technology, June 1-5, followed back-to-back by the 12th Workshop on
Models and Algorithms for Planning and Scheduling Problems (MAPSP
2015), which will be held in La Roche-en-Ardenne during the week of
June 8-12.
Thematic scope:
The workshop's goal is to bring together and promote the dialogue and
collaboration between researchers in two different communities: the
stochastic scheduling and networking community, and the worst-case
approximation scheduling community. Both these communities consider
mathematical and algorithmic problems motivated by resource
allocation, scheduling shared resources and load balancing, routing
and speed scaling in large-scale systems. However, the specific
problems studied and the techniques used to address them are quite
different. The workshop will bring together experts in both these
areas, and especially researchers who span both these communities, and
foster links by exploring problem areas of mutual interest and
encouraging lively interaction and discussions.
In addition to the invited speakers, we also expect a broad attendance
of local Dutch researchers and students from Europe.
5-Minute presentations:
We plan to organize a special session with 5-minute presentations. If
you're interested to give such a 5-minute presentation, then please
send an email to Nikhil Bansal at n.bansal@tue.nl with a title and
brief abstract by April 15.
Organizers:
Nikhil Bansal (Eindhoven)
Sem Borst (Eindhoven)
Leen Stougie (VU & CWI Amsterdam)
Gerhard Woeginger (Eindhoven)
Program:
The workshop features keynotes/tutorials by four excellent speakers:
Prof. Kamesh Munagala (Duke)
Prof. Kirk Pruhs (U. Pittsburgh)
Prof. R. Srikant (UIUC)
Prof. Jean Walrand (Berkeley)
Additional confirmed invited speakers:
Dr. Matthew Andrews (Alcatel-Lucent)
Prof. Urtzi Ayesta (CNRS-LAAS)
Prof. Yossi Azar (Tel-Aviv)
Dr. Christoph Durr (LIP6, Paris)
Prof. Leah Epstein (Haifa)
Prof. Asaf Levin (Technion)
Prof. Nicole Megow (TU Berlin)
Prof. Rolf Moehring (TU Berlin)
