===================================================

3rd summer school "Algorithmic and Enumerative Combinatorics"
(AEC 2016)
RISC, J. Kepler University Linz, Austria, August 1-5, 2016

https://www.risc.jku.at/conferences/aec2016/

===================================================

Within the framework of the SFB "Algorithmic and Enumerative
Combinatorics", the summer school AEC 2016 will be held at the
Research Institute for Symbolic Computation (Johannes Kepler
University Linz) in Hagenberg. It is jointly organized with the
combinatorics groups at the University of Vienna and the Vienna
University of Technology.

The goal of this summer school is to put forward the interplay
between the fields of Enumerative Combinatorics, Analytic
Combinatorics, and Algorithmics. This is a very active research
area, which, aside from the three fields fueling each other
mutually, receives as well constant impetus from outside, by its
interaction with algebra, probability, statistical physics, and
computer science.

The summer school will feature three series of lectures, given by

- Alin Bostan (INRIA Saclay, France)
- Dan Romik (University of California at Davis, U.S.A.)
- Jeffrey Shallit (University of Waterloo, Canada)

Each series of lectures will present a recent exciting trend in
these three research fields.

Aside from the three lecture series (5 hours each), there is time
for a limited number of contributed talks (20 minutes each).

There will be no conference fee. Lodging will be arranged at the
Hotel Sommerhaus Hagenberg (around 300 m distance from the venue
where the summer school wll be held). A single room costs 37 Euro
and a double room costs 67 Euro per day (breakfast and internet
connection are included).

There are limited funds available for participant support.

Important deadlines

Application for participant support: June 1, 2016
Submission of contributed talks: June 1, 2016
Acceptance of contributed talks: June 10, 2016
Registration: June 15, 2016

Highlights of Algorithms - HALG 2016
June 6-8, 2016, Paris, France
http://highlightsofalgorithms.org/

Nominations deadline: January 3, 2016
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The Highlights of Algorithms conference is designed to be a forum for
presenting the highlights of recent developments in algorithms and for
discussing potential further advances in this area. The conference will
provide a broad picture of the latest research in algorithms through a
series of survey and invited talks, as well as possibility for all
researchers and students to present their recent results through a
series of short talks and poster presentations. Attending the Highlights
of Algorithms conference will also be an opportunity for networking and
meeting leading researchers in algorithms.

-------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

The conference seeks nominations for invited talks that will highlight
recent and interesting algorithmic results.
To nominate please email the proposition of the speaker, topic/title of
the talk, as well as a short support note to the following address:
halg2016.nominations@gmail.com.
All nominations will be carefully reviewed by the program committee to
select speakers that will be invited to the conference.
Please, keep in mind that the conference does not provide financial
support for the speakers.

ABOUT PARSOCIAL
Computational methods to represent, model and analyze problems using social
information have come a long way in the last decade. Computational methods,
such as social network analysis, have provided exciting insights into how
social information can be utilized to better understand social processes,
and model the evolution of social systems over time. We have also seen a
rapid proliferation of sensor technologies, such as smartphones and medical
sensors, for collecting a wide variety of social data, much of it in real
time. Meanwhile, the emergence of parallel architectures, in the form of
multi-core/many-core processors, and distributed platforms, such as
MapReduce, have provided new approaches for large-scale modeling and
simulation, and new tools for analysis. These two trends have dramatically
broadened the scope of computational social systems research, and are
enabling researchers to tackle new challenges. These challenges include
modeling of real world scenarios with dynamic and real-time data, and
formulating rigorous computational frameworks to embed social and
behavioral theories. The 1st IEEE Workshop on Parallel and Distributed
Processing for Computational Social Systems (ParSocial) provides a platform
to bring together interdisciplinary researchers from areas, such as
computer science, social sciences, applied mathematics and computer
engineering, to showcase innovative research in computational social
systems that leverage the emerging trends in parallel and distributed
processing, computational modeling, and high performance computing.

The papers selected for ParSocial will be published in the workshop
proceedings. Proceedings of the workshops are distributed at the conference
and are submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library after
the conference. There are also plans to invite selected papers for
publication in a special issue of a journal.
