CiE 2016: Pursuit of the Universal
Paris, France
June 27 - July 1st, 2016
http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/CIE2016/
IMPORTANT DATES:
EXTENDED Submission deadline for LNCS: January 10, 2016
Notification of authors: March 20, 2016

CiE 2016's Motto is: "Pursuit of the Universal". This year's conference
will open with a special tribute session that CiE society is dedicating to
the former CiE president, Barry Cooper who unexpectedly passed away on
October 26th 2015. Barry was originally scheduled as a plenary speaker at
this year's conference.
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, generalized computability, the
underlying role of typed information and natural language, and the
computability and definability underpinning bioinformatics: so our
conference subtitle honors Turing's role in anticipating the quest for
universal computational frameworks across a wide spectrum of scientific
and humanist disciplines.
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).

PhD Scholarship in Mathematical Phylogenetics
Background. Inferring the evolutionary history of all life on Earth has long been a fascinating problem in biology. Traditionally, evolutionary (phylogenetic) trees are used to represent ancestral relationships between organisms. However, recent investigations into horizontal gene transfer and hybridization, which are processes that result in mosaic patterns of relationships, challenge the model of a phylogenetic tree. Indeed, it is now widely acknowledged that graphs with cycles, called phylogenetic networks, are better suited to represent evolutionary histories. Phylogenetic networks pose many interesting mathematical challenges and have become a vivid area of research since the beginning of the 21st century.
Project. This PhD project is an exciting opportunity to develop combinatorial and algorithmic approaches to analyze and reconstruct phylogenetic networks. For example, a better understanding of the mathematics that underlies the space of all phylogenetic networks is fundamental to the reconstruction of phylogenetic networks from biological data. In short, the PhD project aims at the development of new mathematical tools and algorithms to analyze and search spaces of phylogenetic networks.
Requirements. The successful applicant has a Masters or Honours degree in mathematics or computer science and, preferably, a strong background in graph theory and/or theoretical computer science. An interest in biological questions is desirable, but not a requirement. Candidates must also be eligible for admission to the PhD program at the University of Auckland. For more information on postgraduate studies at the University of Auckland, see the following link: https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/for/future-postgraduates.html.
Scholarship. The PhD scholarship is funded by the New Zealand Marsden Fund and available from March 2016. A later starting date is negotiable. The scholarship is for three years. It covers tuition fees and provides an annual tax free allowance of NZ$27,500. The successful candidate will be based within the Department of Computer Science at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, and supervised by Dr Simone Linz.
Application. To apply, please email your CV and academic transcript, a short statement of research interests, and names and contact details of two referees to Simone Linz (s.linz@auckland.ac.nz). Informal inquiries can be directed to the same address. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

Subject: [DMANET] CG Week Multimedia Exposition - Call for Submissions
Message-ID: <op.x9uf1tr093bh5r@beta001>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; format=flowed; delsp=yes
COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY MULTIMEDIA EXPOSITION
Multimedia presentations are sought for the 25th International
Computational Geometry Multimedia Exposition, which will take place in
June as part of Computational Geometry Week 2016 [socg2016.cs.tufts.edu].
Computational Geometry Week also encompasses the 32nd International
Symposium on Computational Geometry. The Multimedia Exposition showcases
the use of visualisation in computational geometry for exposition and
education, for visual exploration of geometry in research, and as an
interface and a debugging tool in software development.
CONTENT AND FORM
The content of multimedia presentations should be related to computational
geometry or neighbouring areas, but is otherwise unrestricted. We
encourage submissions that support papers submitted to the Symposium on
Computational Geometry, but this is not required. In particular, results
being presented are not required to be new. We explicitly encourage
submissions that take new views on classic results from computational
geometry, which may help to make such results more widely accessible.
The form of multimedia presentations can be anything other than the
traditional paper or slide show. Algorithm animations, visual explanations
of structural theorems, descriptions of applications of computational
geometry, demonstrations of software systems, and games that illustrate
concepts from computational geometry are all appropriate. There are no
limitations on creativity, anything that leverages the possibilities of
multimedia to enlighten and entertain the viewer while learning about
computational geometry or neighbouring areas will do. This includes
rendered animation, films with narrators and/or actors, and interactive
stories, as well as interactive demos.
QUALITY ISSUES
The "format" as well as the creative content of Multimedia submissions
influences their acceptance. For videos, a length of three to five minutes
is usually ideal; ten minutes is the upper limit. For the final version,
we require video in 720P or better, using H.264. The embedded audio stream
should be AAC of at least 128kBit/s. Telephone-sounding audio (limited
frequency range, noise) or live rooms, as often recorded with cheap
headsets, must be avoided, as well as speakers with too heavy accent.
Interactive applications (e.g., HTML5, Flash, AIR, Java, etc.) should
provide a "demo" mode where they run by themselves. They should be
submitted as a distributable package.
To conserve resources, multimedia submissions are limited to 100Mb.
Authors are free to post higher quality versions on their own web sites,
and we will include links in the electronic proceedings to their version,
in addition to the official (<100MB) version archived on
[computational-geometry.org].
It is strongly encouraged to contact the CG:MM PC well in advance to 1)
discuss the quality of a video submission (based on sample files) or 2) to
present your non-video idea and how it could be reviewed, presented, and
distributed.
SUBMISSION
Submissions should be deposited online where they are accessible through
the web or via FTP. A video submission should play trouble-free on
programs like VLC Media Player. For ease of sharing and viewing, we
encourage (but do not require) that each video submission be uploaded to
YouTube, and that the corresponding URL be included with the submission.
Each submission should include a description of at most four pages of the
material shown in the presentation, and where applicable, the techniques
used in the implementation. This four-page description must be formatted
according to the guidelines for the conference proceedings, using the
LIPIcs format. LIPIcs typesetting instructions can be found at
[http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics] and the lipics.cls LaTeX
style file at [http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/lipics/lipics-authors.tgz].
Send a mail to the CG:MM chair, Maarten Löffler [m.loffler@uu.nl] by
February 24, 2016, with the following information:
- the names and institutions of the authors
- the email address of the corresponding author
- instructions for downloading the submission
- if available: the link to the YouTube video
- and the PDF abstract.
We explicitly encourage multimedia submissions that support papers
submitted to the Symposium. However, submitted papers and associated
multimedia submissions will be treated entirely separately by the
respective committees: acceptance or rejection of one will not influence
acceptance or rejection of the other.
Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection, and given reviewers'
comments, by March 16, 2016. For each accepted submission, the final
version of the 4-page textual description will be due by March 23, 2016
for inclusion in the proceedings. Final versions of accepted multimedia
presentations will be due April 27, 2016.
IMPORTANT DATES
February 24, 2016: Multimedia submissions due
March 16, 2016: Notification of acceptance/rejection
March 23, 2016: Camera-ready versions due for abstracts
April 27, 2016: Final versions due for multimedia
June 14-18, 2016: CGWeek 2016
All deadlines are 23:59 anywhere on earth.
