Announcement of the ESA Test-of-Time Award 2015

European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA)
http://esa-symposium.org/
___________________________________________________________________________________

The ESA Test-of-Time Award (ESA ToTA) recognizes outstanding papers in
algorithms research that were published in the ESA proceedings 19-21
years ago and which are still influential and stimulating for the field
today.

The award committee selected the following two papers for the ESA ToTA 2015.
The papers stand out for their impact and wide use in the algorithms field, and for their excellent citation records up to the present day.

>From ESA 03-95:

Mechthild Stoer, Frank Wagner:
A Simple Min Cut Algorithm
Proceedings ESA'94, also in: JACM 44:4 (1997) 585-591

Laudatio
The minimum cut problem in graphs is a basic problem in network analysis
and is needed, for example, as the separation routine in branch-and-cut
algorithms for the Traveling Salesman problem. Stoer and Wagner gave an
elegant and efficient algorithm for the problem that avoids the computation
of maximum flows, building upon previous work by Nagamochi and Ibaraki. The
same algorithm was independently found by Frank. The algorithm continues to
be taught because of its elegance and used because of its efficiency and ease
of implementation.

>From ESA 94-96:

Sudipto Guha, Samir Khuller:
Approximation Algorithms for Connected Dominating Sets
Proceedings ESA'96, also in: Algorithmica 20:4 (1998) 374-387

Laudatio
It is natural to require connectedness as an additional constraint for a
dominating set, for example, in ad hoc wireless networks. Domination
guarantees coverage and connectedness guarantees communication between
the selected nodes. Guha and Khuller gave polynomial algorithms for a
logarithmic-factor approximation to its solution. Under the usual
assumptions, this is the best possible. Their much-cited work has
stimulated similar research for connected variants of many other graph
problems.

Exceptionally, in this first year in which award is given, the
ESA ToTA 2015 committee was asked to consider all qualifying papers from
ESA 93-95 and ESA 94-96, respectively.

Award Committee: Jan van Leeuwen, Kurt Mehlhorn and Mike Paterson

June 20-24 2016

http://www.debs2016.org
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------

OBJECTIVES:

Over the past decade, the ACM International Conference on Distributed
and Event- based Systems (DEBS) has become the premier venue for
contributions in the fields of distributed and event-based systems.
The objectives of the ACM International Conference on Distributed and
Event-Based Systems (DEBS) are to provide a forum dedicated to the
dissemination of original research, the discussion of practical
insights, and the reporting of experiences relevant to distributed
systems and event-based computing. The conference aims at providing a
forum for academia and industry to exchange ideas through industry
papers and demo papers.


SCOPE:

Starting this year DEBS is extending its scope to embrace a broader
set of topics related to distributed systems and event-based
computing. Topics of particular interest may include (but are not
limited to) models, architectures and paradigms of distributed and
event-based systems, middleware systems and frameworks, and
applications, experiences and requirements. The scope of the DEBS
conference covers all topics relevant to distributed and event-based
computing ranging from those discussed in related disciplines (e.g.,
software systems, distributed systems, distributed data processing,
data management, dependability, knowledge management, networking,
programming languages, security and software engineering), to domain-
specific topics of event-based computing (e.g., real-time analytics,
mobile computing, social networking, pervasive, green computing and
ubiquitous computing, sensors networks, user interfaces, big data
processing, spatio-temporal processing, cloud computing, the Internet
of things, peer-to-peer computing, embedded systems and stream
processing), to enterprise-related topics (e.g., complex event
detection, enterprise application integration, real-time enterprises
and web services).

In addition to these traditional topics, the scope of DEBS 2016 will
include the increasingly important area of Internet of Things. New
advances in distributed and event-based systems pose a great potential
for a major contribution in this area. For further information, please

PROCEEDINGS:

Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, which will
be published in the ACM Digital Library. The authors of accepted
papers will be given a choice between different copyright agreements,
in accordance with the recent changes in the ACM policy. The options
will include new opportunities for open access as well as the
traditional ACM copyright agreement.

AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: A new policy by ACM will allow DEBS 2016 to make
the proceedings available ahead of the conference via the ACM Digital
Library. Thus, the official publication date is the date the

CALL FOR PAPERS

www.siam.org/meetings/ns16/
==========================================================


SCOPE
=====

Network science has a rich history, tracing its roots back
through sociology, chemistry, biology, electrical engineering,
computer science, and topology all the way to Euler and the
Königsberg bridges nearly 300 years ago. Network science
studies the mathematical structure of the graphs that arise in
these diverse fields, and the design, analysis, and applications
of algorithms that compute with and on them. The goal of the
SIAM Network Science workshop is to promote cross-fertilization
among the communities that study and apply networks and graphs,
both inside and outside SIAM.

NS'16 will be co-located in Boston with the 2016 SIAM Annual
Meeting (July 11-15) and the SIAM Conference on Life Sciences
(July 11-14).
