CALL FOR PAPERS
5th Student Conference on Operational Research
SCOR 2016
April 8-10 2016, University of Nottingham, UK
www.scor16.com
**************************************************

We are pleased to announce the official launch of the PhD Student
Conference on Operational Research (SCOR 2016), now back for its
fifth instalment. We invite you to join us once again, at the
beautiful University of Nottingham campus the 8-10 April 2016.

The conference takes place just after the NATCOR course, which will
also be held in Nottingham.

PhD students from all European Universities studying Operational
Research, Management Science or a related field are kindly invited to
submit an abstract for presentation at the conference. As some
presenters may still be on an early stage of in their careers, the
work presented does not need to be fully developed or thoroughly
explored as of yet. The purpose of SCOR 2016 is to provide a friendly
environment for the next generation of Operational Researchers to
receive constructive feedback on their work and to meet people with
similar interests.

The scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to:

Big Data and Analytics * Data Envelopment Analysis * Decision Making
under Risk and Uncertainty * Defence and Security * Disaster Management
* Energy and Climate Change * Forecasting * Healthcare * Mathematical
Programming * Metaheuristics * Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis *
Operations Management * Optimisation * Revenue Management * Safety and
Reliability Analysis * Simulation * Stochastic Modelling * Supply Chain
Management * System Dynamics * Transportation and Logistics * Vehicle
Routing.

**** Deadline for abstracts (250 words) submission: ****
**** Friday 19th February 2016 ****

A notification of acceptance will be sent shortly after this
deadline. In order to encourage a wide range of students to attend, an
affordable conference fee will cover accommodation, a full social
program and full catering provided.

Presenters are also invited to submit a paper (no more than 10 pages) on
their work to be published electronically as part of the SCOR 2016
proceedings. This will be available in the Dagstuhl OpenAccess Series in
Informatics (OASIcs). Paper submissions will undergo a selection
process based on refereeing by the Committee. This gives doctoral
candidates a chance to experience the peer-review process and to enhance
their technical writing skills. Although it is not mandatory, it is
again, highly recommended. To get an idea on the paper standards please
visit the SCOR2014 proceedings at
http://drops.dagstuhl.de/opus/portals/oasics/index.php?semnr=14008 .

**** Deadline for papers (max 10 pages) submission: ****
**** Friday 25th March 2016 ****

See you in Nottingham!!!

Title: 2016 Joint Workshop on Cyber-Physical Security and Resilience in
Smart Grids
Date: 12th April 2016, Vienna, Austria
Workshop Chairs: Anna Magdalena Kosek (DTU, Denmark), Paul Smith (AIT,
Austria), Reinder Wolthuis (TNO, The Netherlands)
Supporting Projects: SPARKS, SEGRID, SALVAGE

This workshop is part of the CPS week 2016, 11th - 14th April 2016,
Vienna, Austria

Workshop Scope
Future power systems and smart grids will include a greater Information
and Communication Technology (ICT) component,
in order to support future energy services. Whilst this prospect has
many benefits, it also makes power systems and
smart grids more vulnerable to cyber-attacks and introduces increasingly
critical dependencies between the cyber
and physical domain of power systems. The purpose of this workshop is to
be a forum for discussion on the key
challenges in ensuring the security and resilience of cyber-physical
smart grids. This multi-disciplinary
workshop is being co-organized by three major European-funded research
projects in the smart grid area,
namely the SALVAGE, SEGRID and SPARKS projects. The workshop will run
for a full day and include a keynote
speech plus regular paper presentations.

Paper Submissions
Submitted papers should not exceed six pages, the workshop language is
English. The submitted papers are required
to comply with the IEEE conference format guidelines
(http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html).

Please submit your original work via EasyChair submission system
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cpsrsg2016).
Accepted and presented papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore
(http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/), subject to final approval
by the conference committee.
Important Dates
Full paper submission deadline: 1st February 2016
Notification deadline: 1st March 2016

The design of future energy systems which can cope with fluctuating supply and flexible demand is an important concern of our society. As a PhD student in computer science, economics or law, would you like the opportunity to not only have results that advance the state-of-the-art in your field and have good publications at selective venues, but also seriously engage in interactions with other disciplines, to ensure that your results really give way to better energy systems? As a PhD student in engineering, would you like to not only work on the design of energy systems that are efficient, flexible, resilient and user-friendly, but also do so together with individuals from the above disciplines, using highly innovative methods?

If so, please read on: The German National Research Foundation (DFG) has recently approved the funding of a graduate school 'Energy Status Data -- Informatics Methods for its Collection, Analysis, and Exploitation' at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). We now seek to fill several vacancies for PhD students starting in or around May 2016. Important prerequisites are interest in scientific work and a Diploma or Master degree in one of the above disciplines or in a related one, e.g., mathematics, physics, business informatics, industrial engineering and management. Successful candidates should demonstrate academic excellence and rigor as well as curiosity. See http://energystatusdata.kit.edu for more information on the research envisioned, the program and the application procedure. Please apply until January 3rd 2016.

We offer:
- a lot of free space for scientific development,
- excellent personal guidance and support,
- fascinating research topics with a lot of societal relevance,
- an open-minded and highly collaborative research environment
- an international, interdisciplinary research surrounding with numerous occasions for cooperation,
- opportunities for personal growth and further training leveraging the rich infrastructure at KIT, an institution that is both a university and a large-scale research facility,
- an excellent living environment in an attractive, vibrant city in one of the most beautiful regions in Germany,
- a salary that covers the living expenses in Germany well, together with free university registration.

Both DFG and KIT are interested in increasing the share of women working in sciences and looks forward to applications from women in particular. Severely disabled applicants will be given preference in case of equal qualification.
