*** 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.

CALL FOR PAPERS
OR Spectrum
Special Issue on Rail Terminal Operations
Special Issue Editors: Nils Boysen, Dirk Briskorn, Sigrid Knust
Submission deadline: 31st July 2016 / Special Issue Completion: End of 2017
Strengthening the railway system is among the top priority issues of
many national authorities. Rail transportation relieves the often
overloaded road networks and is preferred on the basis of its reduced
environmental impact. An important driver to increase the attractiveness
of the railway system is to establish more efficient train handling
processes in existing railway terminals, e.g., by employing suitable
optimization approaches and decision support systems.
The special issue on "rail terminal operations" covers all kinds of
freight and passenger rail terminals, i.e., traditional shunting yards,
intermodal rail-road terminals, modern rail-rail transshipment yards,
rail terminals in seaports, depots for rolling stock, and (last but not
least) conventional railway stations for passenger trains. We invite
researchers and practitioners to contribute to this special issue by
submitting papers on the development and application of quantitative
approaches for planning the operations in rail terminals. While the main
focus is on operational scheduling problems, also papers on long-term
problems such as layout issues are welcome, if rigorously tackled with
quantitative approaches.
The topics of special interest include, but are not limited to the
following:
- train assembly in shunting yards
- load planning of freight trains
- gantry crane scheduling
- scheduling container delivery processes with trucks
- planning of intermediate container storage
- overnight storage of railcars in depots
- assignment of passenger trains to platforms
All papers submitted to this special issue should report original work
and will be peer reviewed according to the standard of OR Spectrum.
According to the politics of OR Spectrum, high quality OR papers are
wanted that are relevant to the scope of the journal, rigor in applying
state-of-the-art OR techniques, innovative, and promising to have an
impact on future work of the scientific OR community.

PRIVACY IN STATISTICAL DATABASES 2016 (PSD 2016)
================================================
** SUBMISSION DEADLINE MAY 1, 2016**
Dubrovnik, Croatia, Sep. 14-16, 2016
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2016
1. AIMS AND GOALS
-----------------
Privacy in statistical databases is about finding tradeoffs to
the tension between the increasing societal and economical demand
for accurate information and the legal and ethical obligation to
protect the privacy of individuals and enterprises which are the
respondents providing the statistical data. In the case of
statistical databases, the motivation for respondent privacy is
one of survival: statistical agencies or survey institutes cannot
expect to collect accurate information from individual or
corporate respondents unless these feel the privacy of their
responses is guaranteed.
Beyond respondent privacy, there are two additional privacy dimensions
to be considered: privacy for the data owners (organizations owning or
gathering the data, who would not like to share the data they have
collected at great expense) and privacy for the users (those who
submit queries to the database and would like their analyses to stay
private). Co-utility has shown to provide sustainable solutions to
user privacy.
"Privacy in Statistical Databases 2016" (PSD 2016) is a conference
sponsored and organized by the UNESCO Chair in Data Privacy
(http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat) with proceedings published by
Springer-Verlag in Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Generous support
by the Templeton World Charity Foundation is acknowledged. The purpose
of PSD 2016 is to attract world-wide, high-level research in
statistical database privacy.
PSD 2016 is a successor to PSD 2014 (Eivissa, Sep. 17-19, 2014,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2014/), PSD 2012 (Palermo, Sep.
26-28, 2012, http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2012), PSD 2010
(Corfu, Sep. 22-24, 2010, http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2010),
PSD 2008 (Istanbul, Sep. 24-26, 2008,
http://unescoprivacychair.urv.cat/psd2008), PSD 2006 (Rome, Dec.
13-15, 2006, http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2006) and PSD 2004
(Barcelona, June 9-11, 2004, http://crises-deim.urv.cat/psd2004), all
with proceedings published by Springer in LNCS 8744, LNCS 7556, LNCS
6344, LNCS 5262, LNCS 4302 and LNCS 3050, respectively. Those seven
PSD conferences follow a tradition of high-quality technical
conferences on SDC which started with "Statistical Data
Protection-SDP'98", held in Lisbon in 1998 and with proceedings
published by OPOCE, and continued with the AMRADS project SDC
Workshop, held in Luxemburg in 2001 and with proceedings published in
Springer LNCS 2316.
Like the aforementioned preceding conferences, PSD 2016 originates in
Europe, but wishes to stay a worldwide event in database privacy and
SDC. Thus, contributions and attendees from overseas are welcome.
