Stream "Scheduling in Healthcare" -- 28th European Conference on Operational Research (EURO XXVIII)
Abstracts: max. 1500 characters; submission deadline is March 1, 2016 -- Session code: d9880fd7


We would like to invite you to contribute to the stream "Scheduling in Healthcare" we are organizing
for the EURO 2016 conference that will be held in Poznan, Poland, (July 3-6, http://www.euro2016.poznan.pl/).

The stream aims at exploring state-of-the-art OR techniques and to provide an overview on new significant approaches
and methods in the large and complex field of scheduling health care activities, that is activity and people planning
and scheduling in Health Care, including, but not limited to:
- Operating room planning and scheduling
- Generic modelling of planning and scheduling problems for various types of examinations and treatment, for both in- and outpatients
- Integration of planning and scheduling (today, these are mostly kept separate due to complexity, at least for longer planning horizons)
- Planning and scheduling under uncertainty, with a focus on recourse actions involving rescheduling and maximizing plan stability and robustness
- Efficient re-scheduling, considering regular and non-regular objectives
- Nurse and doctor scheduling
- Workforce scheduling based on forecasted demand
- Home Health Care Scheduling
- Online and Flexible scheduling in health care

Your contribution could be an abstract for an oral presentation or a proposal for a session with a number of talks.
Either way, please get in touch by emailing us (see below) with your interest and, if relevant, the topic of the
proposed session. If you would like to submit your abstract directly, please use the following code: d9880fd7.

AAMAS 2016 DOCTORAL MENTORING PROGRAM
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The AAMAS 2016 doctoral mentoring program is intended for Ph.D. students in advanced stages of their research. This program will provide an opportunity for students to interact closely with established researchers in their fields, to receive feedback on their work and to get advice on managing their careers. Specifically, the goals of the program are:

1) To match each student with an established researcher in the community (who will act as a mentor). The mentor will interact closely with the student, provide feedback on research, and help the student form new contacts.
2) To allow students an opportunity to present their work to a friendly audience of other students as well as mentors.
3) To provide students with new contacts and professional networking opportunities.
The doctoral mentoring program will consist of opportunities for interactions between mentors and their mentees prior to the conference, as well as a one day doctoral symposium.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
We encourage submissions from Ph.D. students at advanced stages of their research within the Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems field. Based on the submissions, the organizing committee will select a group of students that will be invited to participate in the program. Participants will be expected to take active part in all doctoral mentoring program activities.

Each submission should include a set of documents from the student and a recommendation letter from the advisor.

The submission package consists of:

1) A two-page extended abstract of the student's thesis (in the AAMAS submission format)
2) A personal statement (one page) in any single column format that includes: country and institute of study, citizenship and gender, area of study (provide 1-3 keywords), whether you have participated in the AAMAS DMC before, one or two names of suggested mentors,
3) A short (2-page) resume (CV)
4) A recommendation letter from the advisor.
Student submissions should be done through EasyChair:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aamasdc2016

Advisor recommendation letters should be sent directly to aamasdmc16@gmail.com.

IMPORTANT DATES
Feb 9, 2016: Submission package due
Mar 1, 2016: Acceptance notification
Mar 13, 2016: Camera-ready deadline
May 9 or 10, 2016: Doctoral mentoring symposium

DIMACS Workshop on
Distance Geometry: Theory and Applications
26-29 July 2016 at DIMACS, Rutgers University, NJ, USA
http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/Distance/

Organization: DIMACS (Tami Carpenter, Rebecca Wright)

Distance Geometry (DG) is a field of geometry which focuses on
defining and working with geometrical objects using distances between
points rather than the points themselves. From classical results such
as Heron's theorem, Euler's conjecture on the rigidity of polyhedra,
Maxwell's forces diagrams, and the link to positive semidefinite
matrices, DG has seen a veritable "engineering renaissance" in the XX
century. DG is used in architecture (rigidity of structures), spatial
conformation of molecules from inter-atomic distances, localization of
mobile sensors in communication networks, control of unmanned
underwater vehicles, control of robotic arms, solution of problems in
spatial logic, and more. One of the foremost problems in DG is that of
completing a partially specified matrix so that it is a Euclidean
distance matrix, either in a given dimension, or in any (unspecified)
dimension. Schoenberg's link means that DG is tightly linked to
Semidefinite Programming (SDP), which is one of the most popular tools
to solve DG problems, especially in the field of sensor networks.
Because so many diverse application fields appeal to DG, its
development has been somewhat fragmented, with very similar concepts
being introduced within separate communities with different names. The
aims of this conference are: (i) to attempt to reconcile some of this
fragmentation by inviting researchers from many different disciplines
to take part; (ii) to facilitate communications of technical knowledge
between the different application field communities working on DG;
(iii) to provide incentives for unifying the field of DG.

The workshop will be based on a series of invited tutorials and
lectures. So far, the following people have accepted to speak. They
are listed in no particular order, and the list is subject to change.
Bon Connelly (Cornell), Bill Jackson (QM, Univ. London), Henry
Wolkowicz (Univ. Waterloo), Amit Singer (Princeton), Jon Lee (UMich),
Steven Gortler (Harvard), Therese Malliavin (Institut Pasteur, Paris),
Ileana Streinu (Smith College), Shin-Ichi Tanigawa (Kyoto Univ.), Abdo
Alfakih (UWindsor, Canada), Carlile Lavor (Univ. Campinas), Jayme
Swarczfiter (Univ. Fed. Rio de Janeiro), Amir Ali Ahmadi (Princeton),
Man-Cho So (Chinese Univ. Hong Kong), Marcia Fampa (Univ. Fed. Rio de
Janeiro), Tibor Jordan (Eotvos Lorand Univ.), Georgina Hall
(Princeton), Frank Parmenter (MIT), Hamza Fawzi (MIT), Pablo Parrilo
(MIT), Antonios Varvitsiotis (Nat. Univ. Singapore), Nathan Krislock
(Northern Illinois Univ.), Onur Ozyesil (Princeton), Simon Billinge
(Columbia), Douglas Goncalves (Univ. Fed. Santa Catalina, Brazil),
Martin Vetterli (EPFL).

We are organizing a poster session, for which we are calling for
posters. Please write to Leo Liberti <liberti@lix.polytechnique.fr> if
you're interested in presenting a poster.

A special issue of Discrete Applied Mathematics, dedicated to the
topic of this workshop, will be guest edited by the co-chairs.
