The Algorithms and Complexity Group of IDSIA, University of Lugano
(Switzerland), opens one Ph.D. position in the area of approximation
algorithms. The position is supported by the SNSF Grant "Approximation
Algorithms for Network Problems", that already supports another Ph.D.
student and one PostDoc.
The position is for 3 years, with the possibility of an extension by 1
year (subject to approval by SNSF). The gross salary is roughly 50.000
CHF per year (low taxes). There is generous travel support.
The ideal candidate should be bright and creative, and hold (or be
close to obtaining) a Master Degree in Computer Science or related
areas. A solid background in Algorithms, Computational Complexity,
Discrete Mathematics, Probability Theory, and/or Graph Theory is
helpful. A good knowledge of written and spoken English is also
required (while knowledge of Italian is not needed).
Team members will have the opportunity to cooperate with the
Algorithms and Complexity group at IDSIA, which currently consists of
8 researchers. IDSIA offers an international working environment.
Lugano is a tidy and lively town, with a wonderful view on Ceresio
lake and mountains around. Ticino Canton offers many opportunities for
hiking, biking, skiing, etc. Restaurants serve very good (Italian
style!) food.
Further details about the project, the position, and how to apply can
be found at:
http://people.idsia.ch/~grandoni/SNF2015.html
The position will be filled as soon as a strong candidate will apply.
For any question, do not hesitate to contact:

Tenth International Conference on Swarm Intelligence
September 7-9, 2016. Brussels, Belgium
Call for papers prepared on October 5, 2015
More details and up-to-date information at
http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/ants2016
Scope of the Conference
=======================
Swarm intelligence is the discipline that deals with the study of
self-organizing processes both in nature and in artificial systems.
Researchers in ethology and animal behavior have proposed a number of
models to explain interesting aspects of social insect behavior such
as self-organization and shape-formation. Recently, algorithms and
methods inspired by these models have been proposed to solve difficult
problems in many domains.
An example of a particularly successful research direction in swarm
intelligence is ant colony optimization, the main focus of which is on
discrete optimization problems. Ant colony optimization has been
applied successfully to a large number of difficult discrete
optimization problems including the traveling salesman problem, the
quadratic assignment problem, scheduling, vehicle routing, etc., as
well as to routing in telecommunication networks. Another interesting
approach is that of particle swarm optimization, that mainly focuses
on continuous optimization problems. Here too, a number of successful
applications can be found in the recent literature. Swarm robotics is
another relevant field. Here, the focus is on applying swarm
intelligence techniques to the control of large groups of cooperating
autonomous robots.
ANTS 2016 will give researchers in swarm intelligence the opportunity
to meet, to present their latest research, and to discuss current
developments and applications.
The three-day conference will be held in Brussels, Belgium, on September
7-9, 2016.
Relevant Research Areas
=======================
ANTS 2016 solicits contributions dealing with any aspect of swarm
intelligence. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest are:
Behavioral models of social insects or other animal societies that
can stimulate new algorithmic approaches.
Empirical and theoretical research in swarm intelligence.
Application of swarm intelligence methods, such as ant colony
optimization or particle swarm optimization, to real-world problems.
Theoretical and experimental research in swarm robotics systems.
Publication Details
===================
Conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS.
series.
The journal Swarm Intelligence will publish a special issue dedicated
to ANTS 2016 that will contain extended versions of the best research
works presented at the conference. Further details will soon be
published on the web site.
Conference Location

Auditorium R42.4.502, Solvay Brussels School of Economics and
Management, Campus du Solbosch, Université Libre de Bruxelles,
Av. F.D. Roosevelt 42, 1050 Brussels, Belgium.
