The Algorithms and Complexity Group of IDSIA, University of Lugano
(Switzerland), opens one Ph.D. position in the area of approximation
algorithms. The position is supported by the SNSF Grant "Approximation
Algorithms for Network Problems", that also supports another Ph.D.
student and one PostDoc.
The position is for 3 years, starting on 1st of November 2015, with
the possibility of an extension by 1 year (subject to approval by
SNSF). The gross salary is roughly 50.000 CHF per year (low taxes).
There is generous travel support. The ideal candidate should be bright
and creative, and hold (or be close to obtaining) a Master Degree in
Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or related areas. A solid
background in Algorithms, Computational Complexity, Discrete
Mathematics, Probability Theory, and/or Graph Theory is helpful. A
good knowledge of written and spoken English is also required (while
knowledge of Italian is not needed).
Team members will have the opportunity to cooperate with the
Algorithms and Complexity group at IDSIA, which currently includes 7
researchers. IDSIA offers an international working environment.
Lugano is a tidy and lively town, with a wonderful view on Ceresio
lake and mountains around. Ticino Canton offers many opportunities for
hiking, biking, skiing, etc. Restaurants serve very good (Italian
style!) food.

Subject: [DMANET] 20 fully funded PhD student positions in Helsinki
Message-ID: <55981AE0.5090002@aalto.fi>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; format=flowed
The Helsinki Doctoral Education Network in Information and
Communications Technology (HICT) is a joint initiative by Aalto
University and the University of Helsinki, the two leading universities
within this area in Finland. The network involves at present 60
professors and over 200 doctoral students, and the participating units
graduate altogether more than 40 new doctors each year.
The activities of HICT are structured along five research area specific
tracks:
- Algorithms and machine learning
- Life science informatics
- Networks, networked systems and services
- Software and service engineering and systems
- User centered and creative technologies
The quality of research and education in both HICT universities is
world-class, but the education is still practically free as there are no
tuition fees in the Finnish university system. Helsinki has been ranked
as the World's Most Livable City (Monocle, 2011), and is the capital
city of Finland, which is in the top 10 of the most highly educated
nations in the world (OECD, 2013), and has been selected as the world's
best country to live in (Newsweek, 2010).
The participating units of HICT have currently 20 fully funded positions
available for exceptional doctoral students. The call closes on August
6, 2015 at 12 noon EEST (UTC+3). For more information and application
instructions, see "http://www.hict.fi/admission".

WINE 2015: The 11th Conference on Web and Internet Economics
Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), Amsterdam, The Netherlands
December 9-12, 2015, with tutorial program on December 9, 2015
http://event.cwi.nl/wine2015 <http://event.cwi.nl/wine2015>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES
* Paper submission deadline: July 24, 2015, 11:59pm anywhere on Earth (UTC-12)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the past decade, research in theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, and microeconomics has joined forces to tackle problems involving incentives and computation. These problems are of particular importance in application areas like the Web and the Internet that involve large and diverse populations. The Conference on Web and Internet Economics (WINE) is an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas and results on incentives and computation arising from these various fields. WINE 2015 builds on the success of the Conference on Web and Internet Economics (named Workshop on Internet & Network Economics until 2013), which was held annually from 2005 to 2014.
WINE 2015 will take place at CWI in December 2015. The program will feature invited talks, tutorials, paper presentations, and a poster session. All paper submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated on the basis of the quality of their contribution, originality, soundness, and significance. Industrial applications and position papers presenting novel ideas, issues, challenges and directions are also welcome. Submissions are invited in, but not limited to, the following topics:
* Algorithmic game theory
* Algorithmic mechanism design
* Auction algorithms and analysis
* Computational advertising
* Computational aspects of equilibria
* Computational social choice
* Convergence and learning in games
* Coalitions, coordination and collective action
* Economic aspects of security and privacy
* Economic aspects of distributed computing
* Network games
* Price differentiation and price dynamics
* Social networks
SUBMISSION FORMAT
Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts presenting original research on any of the research fields related to WINE 2015.
An extended abstract submitted to WINE 2015 should start with the title of the paper, each author's name, affiliation and e-mail address, followed by a one-paragraph summary of the results to be presented. This should then be followed by a technical exposition of the main ideas and techniques used to achieve these results, including motivation and a clear comparison with related work.
The extended abstract should not exceed 14 single-spaced pages using reasonable margins and at least 11-point font (excluding references). If the authors believe that more details are essential to substantiate the claims of the paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix (with no space limit) that will be read at the discretion of the Program Committee. It is strongly recommended that submissions adhere to the specified format and length. Submissions that are clearly too long may be rejected immediately.
The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag in the ARCoSS/LNCS series, and will be available for distribution at the conference. Accepted papers will be allocated 14 pages total in the LNCS format in the proceedings. Submissions are encouraged, though not required, to follow the LNCS format. More information about the LNCS format can be found on the author instructions page of Springer-Verlag, see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 <http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0>.
In cooperation with the ACM Transactions on Economics and Computation (TEAC), WINE 2015 will invite selected authors to submit their extended papers to appear in a special section of a TEAC issue. These submissions will still go through the TEAC review process.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
To accommodate the publishing traditions of different fields, authors of accepted papers can ask that only a one-page abstract of the paper appear in the proceedings, along with a URL pointing to the full paper. Authors should guarantee the link to be reliable for at least two years. This option is available to accommodate subsequent publication in journals that would not consider results that have been published in preliminary form in a conference proceedings. Such papers must be submitted and formatted just like papers submitted for full-text publication.
Simultaneous submission of results to another conference with published proceedings is not allowed. Results previously published or presented at another archival conference prior to WINE 2015, or published (or accepted for publication) at a journal prior to the submission deadline of WINE 2015, will not be considered. Simultaneous submission of results to a journal is allowed only if the authors intend to publish the paper as a one-page abstract in WINE 2015. Papers that are accepted and appear as a one-page abstract can be subsequently submitted for publication in a journal but may not be submitted to any other conference that has a published proceedings.
TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
WINE 2015 is soliciting proposals for tutorials to be held on December 9, 2015. Tutorial proposals should be no more than 2 pages long and contain the title of the tutorial, a description of the topic matter, the names of the tutor(s), and dates/venues where earlier versions of the tutorial were given (if any). In addition, short biographies of the tutor(s) should be attached to the proposal. Informal suggestions of tutorial ideas can also be sent without a full proposal to the program chairs at any time. Tutorial proposals should be submitted by email to wine2015@cwi.nl <mailto:wine2015@cwi.nl>.
