-- SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS --

ETAPS conferences accept two types of contributions: research papers
and tool demonstration papers. Both types will appear in the
proceedings and have presentations during the conference.

ESOP and FoSSaCS accept only research papers.

A condition of submission is that, if the submission is accepted, one
of the authors attends the conference to give the presentation.

Submitted papers must be in English presenting original
research. They must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. In particular, simultaneous submission of the same
contribution to multiple ETAPS conferences is forbidden. The
proceedings will be published in the Advanced Research in Computing
and Software Science (ARCoSS) subline of Springer's Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series.

Papers must follow the formatting guidelines specified by Springer at
the URL

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

and be submitted electronically in pdf through the EasyChair author
interface of the respective conference.

Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be
rejected immediately.

FASE will try a light-weight double-blind review process (see
http://www.etaps.org/2016/fase).


- 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Additional material intended for the referees but not for publication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
main conferences.


-- HOST CITY --

Eindhoven is located in the province of North Brabant in the south of
the Netherlands. It is the fifth-largest city of the Netherlands. The
city is well known for modern art, design and technology. The main
airport of the Netherlands is the Amsterdam Airport, Schiphol. All
major airlines fly to Schiphol, and Schiphol has a direct and very
frequent train connection to Eindhoven. Eindhoven also has a small
international airport, Eindhoven Airport, with direct connections to
more than thirty destinations in Europe.


-- HOST INSTITUTION --

ETAPS 2016 is hosted by Faculteit Wiskunde en Informatica, Technische
Universiteit Eindhoven.


-- ORGANIZERS

* General chair: Jan Friso Groote
* Workshops chairs: Erik de Vink and Julien Schmaltz

Subject: [DMANET] Research engineer position (Paris, France)- A
multi-agent platform devoted to management and optimisation of energy
systems.
Message-ID:
<CA+5_oWS-3Eh0En6QZvCbtM4nFP8hwt870ge1tsUvimGhd_h2Qw@mail.gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

In the scope of the European Projects being developed at the CEA LIST
(*http://www.cea.fr/english_portal
<http://www.cea.fr/english_portal>*) data analysis and system Intelligence
lab (LADIS) in the Paris (France) area, a research engineer position is
available for developers who are interested in multi-agent solutions for an
efficient management of the smart grid.

The successful candidate will join a research and development team to
investigate and develop a multi-agent platform devoted to management and
optimization of energy systems.

*Qualifications:*

1. Research engineer with experience in R&D or PhD

2. Excellent proficiency in software, object-oriented (in particular
Java), agent architectures, programming languages and tools (in particular
JADE).

3. High motivation, self-learning and autonomy, teamwork skills

4. Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written English.

5. Background in multi-agent systems, artificial intelligence and
smart grid.

The successful applicant is expected to be able to successfully collaborate
with the project team and with researchers of the LADIS lab.

The position is open (start planned in January/February 2016). Review of
applications will begin as soon applications are received and continue
until the position is filled.


*Working context:* The CEA is the French Alternative Energies and Atomic
Energy Commission. Leader in research, development and innovation with its
16000 employees, CEA is active in four main areas: low-carbon energies,
defense and security, information technologies and health technologies. Key
figures include about 150 start-ups since 1984 in the innovative
technologies sector, a 4,3 billion euros yearly budget and more than 530 EU
projects obtained with CEA participation under the European FP7 since 2007.
Inside CEA, the CEA LIST institute (700 researchers, located in the
Paris-Saclay scientific cluster) focuses its research activities on
developing innovative technologies for smart and complex systems. Its R&D
programs focus on interactive systems (ambient intelligence), embedded
systems (architecture, software and systems engineering), sensors and
signal processing (industrial control systems, health, security and
metrology). The LADIS is a CEA LIST lab (60 researchers, post-doctoral &
PhD students) which activities aim at applying advanced artificial
intelligence, data/signal processing and software engineering approaches to
meet industrial needs, through its industrial partnerships and involvement
in collaborative research projects. Our activities essentially focus on
Health, Manufacturing and Energy domains, with the objective to deliver
industry-focused solutions and to be in line with the highest academic
excellence standards.


*Job description:* In the recent years, Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) have
emerged as one of the most promising technologies for the management of new
energy systems [1,2]. However, this interrelation between MAS and energy
systems still has many challenges.

This study will take place in the scope of a European collaborative
research project. The aim of this project is to design, develop, and
demonstrate a multi-agent holonic platform for distributed management,
control and optimization of energy systems (generation, storage and
distribution). This platform will rely on generic high-level software
components (mainly agents and behaviours to be able to represent
socio-economic and physical entities), generic interaction protocols and
the recursive and hierarchical structures that support a holonic
architecture. Multi-agent optimization protocols will be integrated in
order to allow agents to coordinate their different goals and
bi-directional communications will be secured. Goals will be based on
individual interests (e.g. balance for distribution operators; reduction of
generation price for producers; reduction of consumption and comfort
maximization for consumers, etc). Collective optimization protocols will
produce as output global agreed generation, distribution, storage and
consumption schedules.

The project includes prominent industrial organizations and research
institutes from the European energy, telecom and security fields.

The selected candidate will be part of a multi-agent systems team, which
includes two PhD students, two postdocs, two research engineers and one
software architect. The aim will be to participate in the development of
already existing multi-agent platform (developed in the institute). This
work will also rely on previous research results. The focus of this study
may be adapted depending on the candidate profile. However, excellent
skills in software development are a mandatory requirement.
