CALL FOR PAPERS

FEATURE TOPIC
on
Social and Mobile Solutions in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking

of
IEEE Communications Magazine

Series on Adhoc and Sensor Networks

The IEEE Communications Magazine announces for the 10th Anniversary of the Series on Adhoc and Sensor Networks, a Feature Topic on Social and Mobile Solutions in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking.

The Series on Adhoc and Sensor Networks of the IEEE Communications Magazine intends to provide the latest developments in this very rich and exciting domain. The Series explores in depth the concept of ad hoc and sensor networking, highlighting the recent research achievements in the field, and also providing insight into theoretical and practical issues related to the development of these networks from different perspectives. This series offers a relevant forum for both academic and industrial research, covering, at the same time, the theory, the practice and the state of the art of ad hoc and sensor networking.

The special focus of this FT aims to explore the ad hoc and sensor networks research and development related to social and mobile solutions: communications, applications, algorithms and systems as well as services and computing. Thus, we are interested in articles that involve people, networked sensors, mobile phones and/or sensing context, how they interact and how they perform.
Both original research and review papers are welcome. Possible topics of social and mobile solutions in ad hoc and sensor networking include but are not limited to:

- Architectures and design
- Social and Mobile Systems
- Communication issues
- Pervasive computing
- Human Mobility
- Analysis, simulation, and measurement
- Real Experiments Campaign
- Social and Mobile Applications
- Mobile Phone Sensing
- Social and economic aspects

This list is not exhaustive; submissions related to new and interesting ideas relating broadly to Social and Mobile Solutions in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking are encouraged.

IEEE Communications Magazine is read by tens of thousands of Communications Society members. The papers will also be available on the internet through Communications Magazine Interactive, the WWW edition of the magazine. Details about IEEE Communications Magazine can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/ci/.

*********************************************************************************************

The 16th European Conference on Evolutionary Computation in Combinatorial Optimisation is a multidisciplinary conference that brings together researchers working on metaheuristics for solving difficult combinatorial optimisation problems appearing in various industrial, economic, and scientific domains. Prominent examples of metaheuristics include: evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing, tabu search, scatter search and path relinking, memetic algorithms, ant colony and bee colony optimisation, particle swarm optimisation, variable neighbourhood search, iterated local search, greedy randomized adaptive search procedures, estimation of distribution algorithms, and hyperheuristics. Successfully solved problems include scheduling, timetabling, network design, transportation and distribution problems, vehicle routing, travelling salesman, graph problems, satisfiability, energy optimisation problems, packing problems, and planning problems.


The EvoCOP 2016 conference will be held in the city of Porto, Portugal. It will be held in conjunction with EuroGP (the 19th European Conference on Genetic Programming), EvoMUSART (5th European conference on evolutionary and biologically inspired music, sound, art and design) and EvoApplications (specialist events on a range of evolutionary computation topics and applications), in a joint event collectively known as Evo*.

Subject: [DMANET] Postdoc position on Theory of Evolutionary
Computation and Population Genetics
Message-ID: <55B75657.9060800@sheffield.ac.uk>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield is
offering a Postdoc position on Theory of Evolutionary Computation and
Population Genetics


A Research Assistant or Research Fellow position is available to work on
analysing the efficiency of evolutionary processes in evolutionary
algorithms and models of natural evolution. The position is part of SAGE
(Speed of Adaptation in Population Genetics and Evolutionary Algorithms,
http://www.project-sage.eu/), an interdisciplinary European project in
the Future and Emerging Technologies scheme. This is a fixed term post,
starting Sep 1st 2015 (negotiable) and ending on Dec 31st 2016. It is
based in the Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield,
and reports to Dr Dirk Sudholt.

SAGE is a joint effort between four European research
institutions--University of Nottingham, University of Sheffield, Hasso
Plattner Institute Potsdam, and IST Austria--to develop world-leading
research at the interface between Population Genetics and Computer
Science. Specifically, SAGE aims at bringing together these two research
fields to develop a unified quantitative theory that describes how
quickly populations adapt to evolve high-fitness individuals in both
natural and artificial evolution. Our goal is to reveal how this
efficiency is fundamentally determined by evolutionary and environmental
parameters, and how these parameters can be tuned to use evolution most
effectively in applications ranging from evolutionary algorithms to
experimental evolution and synthetic biology. The successful candidate
will join a growing team of young and ambitious researchers that has
already made excellent progress towards achieving these goals.

Applications are invited from highly skilled researchers in Computer
Science, Mathematics, Physics, Theoretical Biology or related areas (at
the interface between computer science and biology). A good
understanding of evolutionary computation and/or population genetics
will be an advantage. In addition, strong mathematical and analytical
skills are essential. The applicants must have (or be very close to
completing) a PhD in Computer Science, Biology, Mathematics, Physics or
related disciplines.

The post is available at Grade 7 (Research Associate, £29,552-£37,394
per annum) or Grade 8 (Research Fellow, £38,511-£40,847 per annum),
depending on experience.

Further details and an online application form are available from
https://t.co/1DL71Fo2Ia
Applicants need to apply through the above online system before August
26, 2015.

Please send informal enquiries to Dirk Sudholt, d.sudholt@sheffield.ac.uk.
