SCOPE AND TOPICS

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

ALGOSENSORS is an international symposium dedicated to the algorithmic
aspects of wireless networks. Originally focused on sensor networks, it
now covers algorithmic issues arising in wireless networks of all types
of computational entities, static or mobile, including sensor networks,
sensor-actuator networks, autonomous robots. The focus is on the design
and analysis of algorithms, models of computation, and experimental
analysis.

This year ALGOSENSORS has three tracks:
Distributed & Mobile
Experiments & Applications
Wireless & Geometry

Each paper must be submitted to a single track that fits the topic of
the paper best. While the tracks Distributed & Mobile and Wireless &
Geometry deal primarily with algorithmic and theoretical results, the
Experiments & Applications track covers papers where the evaluation is
of more practical nature (tests, simulations, experiments, position
papers).
Topics include, but are not limited to:
Approximation Algorithms
Communication Protocols
Complexity and Computability
Computational Models
Cryptography, Security and Trust
Cyber Physical Systems
Data Aggregation and Fusion
Deployment
Energy Management
Error Correcting Codes
Experimental Analysis
Fault Tolerance and Dependability
Game Theoretic Aspects
Infrastructure Discovery
Localization
Medium Access Control
Mobility & Dynamics
Obstacle Avoidance
Pattern Formation
Performance Evaluation
Power Saving Schemes
Randomized Algorithms
Resource Efficiency
RFID Algorithms
Routing and Data Propagation
Self-stabilization, Self-* Properties
Swarm Computing
Systems and Testbeds
Time Synchronization
Topology Control
Tracking
Virtual Infrastructures

Summary of the project

Electricity generation and consumption are always considered as a ''hot topic'' for governments, economists, ecologists, and scientists. Indeed, in spite of modern power generator technologies, the energy consumption increase defines new challenges for power producers and electricity providers. Because supply and demand for electricity must balance in real-time, rapid changes in demand create operational challenges for the electric system.

The aim of the project is to solve a joint pricing and design problem of energy services in a competitive environment for residential demand side management. More precisely, the objective is twofold : generate revenue for an energy provider and encourage the customers to individually and voluntarily reduce their consumption at peak periods. A bi-level approach is considered to take explicitly into account the strategic behavior of consumers into the optimization process.

EDF has to define new product offer to its industrial customers (tarifs jaunes et verts). In this framework the thesis will be a real challenge.





Thesis goals

The goals of the thesis are twofold. First the student will have to define appropriate models for the problem in a monopolistic and competitive environment. A close collaboration with practitioners (Direction Economie Prix et Tarif) will be required. Next the solution algorithms will have to be developed and tested.





Skills

Optimization Background, Coding in C++ or java,

Economical knowledge will be an add value.



Environment and Timing

The thesis will start october 2015 and will take place at INRIA Lille, EDF Lab at Saclay and PGMO lab at l?Ecole Polytechnique.



For any further information feel free to contact Luce Brotcorne or S?bastien Lepaul.

To apply for the project, please send a CV, a motivation letter and record to Luce.Brotcorne@inria.fr and sebastien.lepaul@edf.fr

International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking (ICDCN
2016)
Singapore, January 4-7, 2016.
http://www.icdcn.org/

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ICDCN is a premier international conference dedicated to addressing
advances in Distributed Computing and Communication Networks, which over
the years, has become a leading forum for disseminating the latest research
results in these fields. The 17th edition of this international conference
will be organized in Singapore, with joint participation from Singapore
Management University (SMU) and National University of Singapore (NUS).
Singapore is one of Asia's most vibrant cities with many activities all
year round, and is often called a garden city due to its beautiful city
landscape. Singapore boasts of several world-class universities and
research institutes, has an outstanding transportation and hospitality
infrastructure and is rated as one of the top-5 convention centers in the
world.

ICDCN 2016 will be organized in two tracks: Distributed Computing and
Networking, and will comprise a highly selective technical program
consisting of refereed concise papers, panel discussions as well as focused
workshops on emerging topics. Conference proceedings will be published in
the ACM Digital Library (pending final approval).

Papers describing original research work and practical
experiences/experimental results are solicited on topics that tentatively
include, but are not limited to:

I. Distributed Computing Track

- Distributed algorithms & concurrent data structures: design, analysis,
and complexity
- Distributed operating systems
- Distributed database systems
- Embedded distributed systems
- Experimental evaluation of distributed systems
- Fault-tolerance, reliability, and availability

Regular Papers should not exceed 10 pages double column including figures,
tables, and references in standard ACM format. Additional details may be
included in a clearly-marked appendix (containing all technical ideas and
proofs necessary for an expert to fully verify the claims of the paper)
that will be read at the discretion of the program committee. Papers must
be submitted electronically in printable PDF form via the EasyChair
submission management system. Some papers not accepted as regular papers
may be accepted as "concise papers" with 4 pages in the proceedings while
full papers will be allowed 10 pages.

Best Paper Award: The ICDCN TPC plans to award a Best Paper Award,
independently for each of the two tracks. This award will be based on the
paper's technical merit, the opinions of the reviewers AND the presentation
quality at the conference.

Special Issue: The authors of selected best papers in the Distributed
Computing track will be invited to submit an extended version of their
paper for publication in Theoretical Computer Science (TCS - A) journal,

The widespread adoption of digitization has opened the way to gathering large amounts of data that record detailed information for many systems of interest. Examples include telecommunication networks, online social-media platforms, and biological systems. Many of these systems are typically represented as networks, and graph-theoretic techniques are used to analyze the available data. Furthermore, as our data-gathering capacity has increased, it is now possible to collect data the record not only a static aggregate view of the underlying network, but a continuous stream of events that captures the full dynamic behavior of the network. Such events may take the form of structural changes, or they may encode different types of actions and interactions performed by the network entities. This view of time-evolving networks poses new challenges and opens new research directions. The objective is to develop the theoretical foundations and to design the algorithmic principles that !
will allow to efficiently manage and analyze such evolving networks. This special issue of Internet Mathematics invites original research papers on algorithmic and mathematical methods for modeling, processing, and analyzing evolving networks. The topics of interest include but are not limited to

Models and novel computational paradigms for evolving networks
Graph stream algorithms
Monitoring and mining evolving networks
Spectral analysis of evolving networks
Detecting events, trends, and change points
Inferring structure from network activity
Applications in social media, web graphs, citation networks, biological networks, and other domains

Papers that have previously appeared in peer-reviewed conferences may be submitted, provided that significant extensions and additional non-trivial contributions are presented. In the latter case, submissions should be accompanied by a cover letter summarizing the additional contributions with respect to the earlier conference version.

The papers should be prepared and submitted according to the general guidelines for authors of Internet Mathematics. Please indicate in your submission that the paper is submitted for the special issue.

Submission deadline: Oct 15, 2015

Submission at the website of Internet Mathematics: http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/uinm20/current

Guest editors

Aristides Gionis, Aalto University
Suresh Venkatasubramanian, University of Utah
