2016-2017 IBM Herman Goldstine Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowship in
Mathematical Sciences

The Mathematical Sciences Department of the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research
Center invites applications for its 2016-2017 Herman Goldstine Memorial
Postdoctoral Fellowship for research in mathematical and computer
sciences. The fellowship provides scientists of outstanding ability an
opportunity to advance their scholarship as resident department members at
the Research Center. Areas of active research in the department include:
algorithms (approximation, randomized, and on-line); complex systems; data
mining (machine learning, pattern recognition, computational statistics);
dynamical systems; high-performance computing (scientific computing,
parallel computing, big-data); inverse problems; numerical analysis;
optimization (discrete, continuous, global and stochastic); operations
research; probability theory (stochastic models, risk management, queues &
queuing networks, simulation); and statistics (time-series, multivariate
analysis, spatiotemporal analysis, design of experiments & reliability).

Candidates must have received a Ph.D. after September 2011, or should
expect to receive one before the fellowship commences in the second half
of 2016 (usually in September). Up to two fellowships will be awarded
with a stipend between $105,000 and $130,000 (depending on experience).

Applications must be received between November 9, 2015 and January 12,
2016.

CALL FOR PAPERS
EvoMUSART 2016
http://www.evostar.org/2016/cfp_evomusart.php

5th International Conference on Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired
Music, Sound, Art and Design

30 March - 1 April 2016
Porto, Portugal
Part of evo* 2016
evo*: http://www.evostar.org

###### DEADLINE EXTENDED : 11 November, 2015 ######

NEW THIS YEAR :
*** PAGE LIMIT : 16 PAGES ***

Following the success of previous events and the importance of the
field of evolutionary and biologically inspired (artificial neural
network, swarm, alife) music, sound, art and design, evomusart has
become an evo* conference with independent proceedings since 2012.
Thus, evomusart 2016 is the fifth International Conference on
Evolutionary and Biologically Inspired Music, Sound, Art and Design.

The use of biologically inspired techniques for the development of
artistic systems is a recent, exciting and significant area of
research. There is a growing interest in the application of these
techniques in fields such as: visual art and music generation,
analysis, and interpretation; sound synthesis; architecture; video;
poetry; design; and other creative tasks.

The main goal of evomusart 2016 is to bring together researchers who
are using biologically inspired computer techniques for artistic
tasks, providing the opportunity to promote, present and discuss
ongoing work in the area.

The event will be held in April, 2016 in Porto, Portugal, as part of
the evo* event.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important Dates
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Submission: 11 November 2015*
Notification to authors: 04 January 2016
Camera-ready deadline: 18 January 2016
Evo*: 30 March - 1 April 2016

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Publication Details
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Submissions will be rigorously reviewed for scientific and artistic
merit. Accepted papers will be presented orally or as posters at the
event and included in the evomusart proceedings, published by Springer
Verlag in a dedicated volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) series. The papers which receive the best reviews will be
nominated for the Best Paper Award. The acceptance rate at EvoMUSART
2015 was 27.9% for papers accepted for oral presentation, and 25.6%
for poster presentation.

Submitters are strongly encouraged to provide in all papers a link for
download of media demonstrating their results, whether music, images,
video, or other media types. Links should be anonymised for
double-blind review, e.g. using a URL shortening service.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics of interest
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Submissions should concern the use of biologically inspired computer
techniques -- e.g. Evolutionary Computation, Artificial Life,
Artificial Neural Networks, Swarm Intelligence, other artificial
intelligence techniques -- in the generation, analysis and
interpretation of art, music, design, architecture and other artistic
fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

-- Generation
- Biologically Inspired Design and Art -- Systems that create
drawings, images, animations, sculptures, poetry, text, designs,
webpages, buildings, etc.;
- Biologically Inspired Sound and Music -- Systems that create
musical pieces, sounds, instruments, voices, sound effects, sound
analysis, etc.;
- Robotic-Based Evolutionary Art and Music;
- Other related artificial intelligence or generative techniques in
the fields of Computer Music, Computer Art, etc.;

-- Theory
- Computational Aesthetics, Experimental Aesthetics; Emotional
Response, Surprise, Novelty;
- Representation techniques;
- Surveys of the current state-of-the-art in the area; identification
of weaknesses and strengths; comparative analysis and classification;
- Validation methodologies;
- Studies on the applicability of these techniques to related areas;
- New models designed to promote the creative potential of
biologically inspired computation;

-- Computer Aided Creativity and computational creativity
- Systems in which biologically inspired computation is used to
promote the creativity of a human user;
- New ways of integrating the user in the evolutionary cycle;
- Analysis and evaluation of: the artistic potential of biologically
inspired art and music; the artistic processes inherent to these
approaches; the resulting artefacts;
- Collaborative distributed artificial art environments;

-- Automation
- Techniques for automatic fitness assignment;
- Systems in which an analysis or interpretation of the artworks is
used in conjunction with biologically inspired techniques to produce
novel objects;
- Systems that resort to biologically inspired computation to perform
the analysis of image, music, sound, sculpture, or some other types of
artistic object.

1st CALL FOR PAPERS:

COMPUTABILITY IN EUROPE 2016: Pursuit of the Universal
Paris, France
June 27 - July 1st, 2016
http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/CIE2016/

IMPORTANT DATES:

Submission deadline for contributed papers: December 15, 2015
Notification of authors: March 3, 2016
Deadline for final revisions: March 31, 2016


CiE 2016 is the twelfth conference organized by CiE (Computability in
Europe), a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer
scientists, philosophers, physicists and others interested in new
developments in computability and their underlying significance for the
real world. Previous meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005),
Swansea (2006), Siena (2007), Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponte
Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011), Cambridge (2012), Milan (2013), Budapest (2014)
and Bucharest (2015).

CiE 2016's Motto is: "Pursuit of the Universal". The year 2016 brings
the eightieth anniversary of the publication of Alan Turing's seminal paper
featuring the Universal Turing Machine. Just as the semantics of the machine
gave rise to Incomputability, and pointed to future directions in proof theory,
AI, generalised computability, the underlying role of typed information and
natural language, and the computability and definability underpinning
bioinformatics: so our conference subtitle honours Turing's role in anticipating
the quest for universal computational frameworks across a wide spectrum of
scientific and humanist disciplines.
