1st International Workshop on Bi-level Programming (IWOBIP'16)
http://bi-level.fcfm.uanl.mx
The IWOBIP'16 will be held in Nuevo Leon, Mexico; from March 7th to 11th, 2016.
Extended deadline for registration: December, 17th.
The main motivation for hosting the IWOBIP'16 is to bring together a
group of academicians, practitioners and students working on this
topic. Also, to attract young researchers and graduated students
(master and PhD students) who are specializing in Bi-level
Programming.
The workshop will take place at the main campus of the Universidad
Autonoma de Nuevo Leon (UANL) located in the city of San Nicolas de
los Garza in the state of Nuevo León, México from Monday 7th to
Friday 11th, March 2016. The city of San Nicolas de los Garza is in
the metropolitan area of Monterrey (state's capital), making it easy
and accessible for commuting within the area. The metropolitan area
hosts more than four million people and offers a wide variety of
tourist, recreational and cultural sites, which undoubtedly will make
the stay more attractive during the workshop.
IWOBIP'16 will consist of plenary lectures and mini-courses, both
given by world-renowned researchers. Furthermore, research lectures
presented by attendees of the event will be offered. There will also
be a tour organized by the local committee for the integration and
interaction of the participants to the event. It is important to
mention that there will not be parallel sessions; only one daily main
session will be scheduled because of the degree of specialization of
the workshop. Among the topics of interest of the IWOBIP'16 are:
theory, exact methods, heuristic algorithms and interesting
applications modeled as bi-level programming problems.
The Confirmed Plenary Speakers
- Martine Labbé (Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium)
Stackelberg games and bilevel bilinear optimization problem
- Boris Mordukhovich (Wayne State University, USA)
Bilevel programming via generalized convexity and variational analysis
- Vyacheslav Kalashnikov (Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico)
A Heuristic Algorithm to Solve Bilevel Toll Optimization Problems
- Leo Liberti (École Polytechnique, France)
Measuring Smart Grids: Optimal Placement of Sensors in Power Grids
Confirmed Mini-courses
- Stephan Dempe (TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany)
Solution approaches for optimistic bilevel optimization problems
- Ankur Sinha (Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, India)
Evolutionary Bilevel Optimization: Applications and Methodologies
- Jakub Mareček (IBM Research, Ireland)
Probabilistic analyses in bi-level optimisation under uncertainty
- Carmen Galé (Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain)
Theoretical and algorithmic approaches to Bilevel programming
The workshop official languages are English and Spanish. The plenary
lectures and the mini-courses will be in English or Spanish. In the
case they are in Spanish, the slides will be in English.
REGISTRATION AND SCHOLARSHIPS:
There are three types of registration: full scholarship, regular
scholarship and regular application. Registers must select one of the
three categories just mentioned.
- We will have around 35 full scholarships for the workshop
participants (only students), the scholarship includes 6 nights in
shared room during the event, meals during the day in the event and
the registration fee. Transportation to the event is paid by the
applicant.
- The regular scholarship only covers the registration fee. It is
basically for local students or foreign students who do not achieve
the full scholarship.
- For the regular application, the submission will only consist on the
abstract of the presentation (without recommendation letter and
curriculum vitae). The applicant must cover his/her registration fee
in the indicated dates to be included in the event.

words) with three keywords in the appropriate format (available on the
event's webpage).
- A recommendation letter (preferably from your advisor –in case of students-).
- Short curriculum vitae.
The results of the Scientific Committee will be decisive and will be
posted on the workshop's webpage. Those who will participate in the

CALL FOR PAPERS
Elsevier - Pervasive and Mobile Computing
Special Issue on
Pervasive Social Computing
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/pervasive-and-mobile-computing/call-for-papers/
NEW Submission Deadline: 31 December 2015
Pervasive Social Computing represents a new paradigm resulting from
the convergence of Pervasive Mobile Computing with Social Networking;
it aims to take advantage of human social relationships to enable the
attainment of users' tasks in different domains. On the one hand, the
impressive diffusion of Online Social Networking platforms is making
OSNs a pervasive tool for maintaining social relationships between
people. On the other hand, the diffusion of mobile personal devices
with rich networking and computing capabilities is fostering novel
patterns of users interactions through social networks, also depending
on the dynamic context and locations of the users. Last but not least,
pervasive mobile technologies enable completely novel types of social
networking applications and services, such as Mobile Social Networks.
The enormous potential of Pervasive Social Computing is leading
scientific communities in different disciplines, from computer science
to social science, communication science and economy, to analyze,
study and provide new theories, models, methods, technological
solutions and case studies. Interestingly, more and more Pervasive
Mobile Computing technologies are designed using inter-disciplinary
approaches, that exploit models of the users personal and social
behavior to design algorithms, protocols, services and applications.
The special issue aims to encourage the multidisciplinary discussion
involving academics, researchers and professionals on theories,
approaches, analysis, design and evaluation of services and networking
solutions for Pervasive Social Computing. Researchers are increasingly
interested in addressing a wide range of Pervasive Social Computing
challenges residing in Social networks and Social Computing systems
including: their architecture, algorithms and protocols for social
networking services, the creation of new analysis models, the
monitoring of emerging trends, studies on trust, privacy and security
issues and their potential applications.
The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:
- Security, privacy and trust in Pervasive Social Computing systems
- Innovative Pervasive Social Computing services and applications
- Architectures, algorithms and protocols for Pervasive Social
Computing systems
- Mobile networking solutions for Pervasive Social Computing
- Context modeling, reasoning and context awareness in Pervasive
Social Computing
- Pervasive sensing technologies applied to Pervasive Social Computing
- Opportunistic networking for Pervasive Social Computing
- Innovative Mobile Social Networking technologies and services
- Inter-disciplinary approaches to the design of Pervasive Social
Computing systems
- Analysis of users social interactions in mobile and pervasive social
networks
- Novel Online Social Networking services and users' behaviors enabled
by pervasive mobile networks
- Real experiences and experiments with Pervasive Social Computing
systems and applications
- Opportunistic and transient social interactions in Pervasive Social
Computing systems
- Social and economic models for Pervasive Social Computing systems
- Pervasive and social collaboration tools
- Impacts of Pervasive Social Computing on users' behaviour in
different domains (e.g. e-business, e-market, e-learning, e-health)

Authors should select "SI: PSC", from the "Choose Article Type"
pull-down menu during the submission process. All contributions must
not have been previously published or be under consideration for
publication elsewhere. A submission based on one or more papers that
appeared elsewhere has to comprise major value-added extensions over
what appeared previously (at least 30% new and significant material).
Authors are requested to attach to the submitted paper their relevant,
previously published articles and a summary document explaining the
enhancements made in the journal version. In addition, such papers
must be referenced, and the difference clearly explained, in the
submitted paper.
