FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

Fourteenth International Symposium on
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and MATHEMATICS
ISAIM 2016
http://isaim2016.cs.virginia.edu
January 4-6, 2016
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 25, 2015

The International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics (ISAIM) is a biennial meeting that fosters interactions between mathematics, theoretical computer science, and artificial intelligence. ISAIM 2016 is the fourteenth Symposium in the series, which is sponsored by the journal Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence and by Florida Atlantic University.

We seek submissions of recent results, with a particular emphasis on the foundations of AI and mathematical methods used in AI. Papers describing applications are also encouraged, but the focus should be on principled lessons learned from the development of the application. Traditionally, the Symposium attracts participants from a variety of disciplines, thereby providing a unique forum for scientific exchange. The three-day Symposium includes invited speakers, presentations of technical papers, and special topic sessions.

Work that has already been published as of the ISAIM submission deadline should not be submitted to ISAIM unless it introduces a significant addition to the previously published work. However, the ISAIM web site proceedings are not archival, so papers submitted to ISAIM can be under review at the time of submission and can be submitted elsewhere after ISAIM.

Authors of a selected set of papers from the Symposium will be invited to submit full versions of their papers for inclusion in a special volume of the Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, published by Springer. Those invited submissions will be subject to refereeing at the usual standards of the journal, and authors will receive more details with the acceptance notice. Papers must of course be new and unpublished to be considered for the special volume.


PAPER FORMATTING:

Papers should be submitted in PDF and formatted in AAAI format, removing the AAAI copyright note.

To remove the AAAI copyright note, put the line \nocopyright in your .tex file anywhere in the preamble after the line \usepackage{aaai}.

The AAAI LaTeX files aaai.sty and aaai.bst are available from the AAAI Author's Instructions page http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php

For other AAAI style files please refer to the sections on "Templates" and "LaTeX Macros and Instructions" of AAAI's Author's Instructions page (do not forget to change the copyright restriction to your own name).


AUTHORSHIP:

Authors should list their names on their papers: the review process is not double blind.


LENGTH:

Papers submitted to review must not exceed six (6) pages, not counting bibliography. Final versions of accepted papers must not exceed eight (8) pages, not counting the bibliography.


HOW TO SUBMIT A PAPER:

To submit a paper, please go to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=isaim2016

Any questions regarding paper submission should be sent to the program committee chairs (Francesca Rossi and Kristen Brent Venable) at the email address isaim2016@wave.tulane.edu


IMPORTANT DATES:

Paper submission: October 25, 2015
Notification: November 25, 2015
Final version due: December 14, 2015
Symposium dates: January 4-6, 2016

EURO Journal on Transportation and Logistics (EJTL)
Special issue: Data analytics in logistics and transportation
Guest editors: Y. Adulyasak, J.-Fr. Cordeau and A. Lodi

Deadline to submit manuscripts: October 15, 2015

Over the past two decades, the increase in the size and complexity of logistics and transportation networks has been accompanied by a similar growth in the amount of data available to decision makers. This growth is largely fueled by developments in information technologies, in particular the widespread use of sensors, tracking devices, and mobile communication equipment. The abundance of up-to-date information not only improves visibility and traceability but also creates opportunities for the development of decision-support tools to improve the design, planning and control of logistics and transportation activities. This special issue aims at reporting on new models, algorithms and case studies related to the use of data analytics in the field of logistics and transportation. We are particularly interested in methods combining ideas from statistics, econometrics, optimization and simulation. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

-- Descriptive analytics and knowledge discovery: methods and algorithms to analyze large-scale datasets with the objective of identifying relationships, interactions and dependencies between different components in a logistics or transportation system (e.g., analysis of throughput and shipment data to make slotting and space allocation decisions in a warehouse);
-- Predictive analytics: statistical and data mining techniques to model and predict demand, travel times, lead times, trends, risks and other factors necessary for the planning and operation of logistics and transportation networks, both for freight and passengers;
-- Data-driven decision algorithms: optimization algorithms that make use of information extracted from large-scale datasets, algorithms that make decisions under uncertainty, and machine-learning algorithms applied to problems arising in the areas of production planning, inventory control, warehousing, and distribution management;
-- Data-driven business models: new optimization models that are centered on a new understanding of applications in logistics and transportation due to the availability and analysis of collected data;
-- Industrial applications of data analytics: innovative and successful applications of data analytics techniques to practical problems in logistics and transportation.

aim of obtaining tight results that give an optimal understanding of
the complexity of a problem.

The candidates should have (or expect to have shortly) a PhD degree in
Computer Science or related area; research experience at postdoctoral
level is of advantage. A successful candidate should have excellent
knowledge of algorithms and/or complexity, preferably in the setting
of parameterized complexity and fixed-parameter tractability. Strong
background in graph theory, combinatorics, constraint satisfaction,
approximation, or kernelization is of advantage.

The review of applicants will begin immediately and continue until the
positions are filled. The ideal starting date is January 1,
2016. Applications received by September 15, 2015 will receive full
consideration. To apply, send a CV and a research statement by email
to Dániel Marx ( dmarx@cs.bme.hu ) and arrange two letters of
recommendation to be send to this address. Questions and informal
inquiries are welcome.

===============================================================
Special Issue in Evolutionary Computation Journal, MIT Press
on Combinatorial Optimization Problems

http://ecj.fhv.at
===============================================================

** DESCRIPTION

Combinatorial Optimization Problems consist in finding an optimal solution (according to some objective function) from a finite search space. These problems arise in Industry and Academia and, unfortunately, most of them cannot be solved efficiently, that is, they are NP-hard and no polynomial time algorithm is known to solve them. For this reason, in the last decades researches have investigated the use of stochastic search algorithms to find near optimal solutions to these problems. In particular, a great research effort has been devoted to the development of metaheuristic algorithms to solve combinatorial optimization problems.

Successfully solved problems include scheduling, timetabling, network design, transportation and distribution problems, vehicle routing, travelling salesman, graph problems, satisfiability, energy optimization problems, packing problems and planning problems.

Prominent examples of metaheuristics include evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing, tabu search, scatter search, memetic algorithms, ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, variable neighbourhood search, iterated local search, greedy randomized adaptive search procedures, estimation of distribution algorithms, hyperheuristics and hybrid algorithms.

We encourage authors to submit original high-quality research on the application of metaheuristic algorithms to combinatorial optimization problems or theoretical aspects of this application.


** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All submissions have to be prepared according to the "guidelines for authors" as published in the journal website at http://ecj.fhv.at . Authors should submit their manuscripts to the Evolutionary Computation Editorial Manager at http://ecj.fhv.at . When submitting a paper, please send at the same time an email to Francisco Chicano (chicano@lcc.uma.es) and a copy to ecj@fhv.at mentioning the special issue, the paper title, and author list to inform about the submission.

- Research papers

FASE, FOSSACS and TACAS have a page limit of 15 pp (excluding
bibliography of max 2 pp) for research papers, whereas POST allows at
most 20 pp (excluding bibliography of max 2 pp) and ESOP 25 pp
(excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).

Additional material intended for the referees but not for publication
in the final version - for example, details of proofs - may be placed
in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page
limit. ETAPS referees are at liberty to ignore appendices and papers
must be understandable without them.

In addition to regular research papers, TACAS solicits also case study
papers (at most 15 pp, excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).

Both TACAS and FASE solicit also regular tool papers (at most 15 pp,
excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).


- Tool demonstration papers

Submissions should consist of two parts:

* The first part, at most 4 pages, should describe the tool
presented. Please include the URL of the tool (if available) and
provide information that illustrates the maturity and robustness of
the tool. (This part will be included in the proceedings.)

* The second part, at most 6 pages, should explain how the
demonstration will be carried out and what it will show, including
screen dumps and examples. (This part will be not be included in the
proceedings, but will be evaluated.

ESOP and FOSSACS do not accept tool demonstration papers.

TACAS has a page limit of 6 pages for tool demonstrations.


-- SATELLITE EVENTS (2-3 April, 8 April) --

Around 20 satellite workshops will take place before and after the
