Several PhD positions are available in the Combinatorial Optimization and Graph Algorithms Group at TU Berlin (www.coga.tu-berlin.de) supported by the Einstein Foundation Berlin. The main focus of the group are algorithmic problems in the broad area of discrete optimization, in particular network optimization, flows, scheduling, approximation algorithms, linear and integer programming etc. We maintain contacts with numerous internationally leading scientists and research institutions all over the world.

We are seeking for candidates with an excellent academic degree (master degree or comparable) in mathematics, computer science, or a closely related area, preferably with very good knowledge in algorithmic discrete mathematics and/or algorithm theory. Special knowledge of discrete optimization and related subjects as well as experience with teaching (e.g., as a student assistant) are desirable. Successful candidates are expected to contribute to third-party funded research projects and do research in the broad area of discrete optimization. Some of the positions come with a teaching duty where the task is to assist in teaching computer mathematics to first-year bachelor students and various courses in the area of algorithmic discrete mathematics to more advanced students.

Besides its many cultural attractions, Berlin offers a strong scientific landscape including three major universities, the international graduate program BERLIN MATHEMATICAL SCHOOL (www.math-berlin.de), promoted by the German Excellence Initiative, the research center MATHEON (www.matheon.de), and the Einstein Center for Mathematics (www.ecmath.de); these offer opportunities for joint research and support for PhD students and postdocs (e.g., meetings, lecture series, summer schools etc.).

Interested candidates should send an email with *a single pdf* file containing:
- short motivation letter
- curriculum vitae
- copies of diplomas
- names and contact details of one or two referees (including thesis advisor)

8th Workshop on the
Theory of Transactional Memory (WTTM)

July 25, 2016
Chicago, Illinois,USA

co-located with the
ACM Symposium on Principles of
Distributed Computing (PODC) 2016


======================================================


The 8th Workshop on the Theory of Transactional Memory (WTTM) is a forum to foster exchanges, discussions, and disseminations among researchers on theoretical challenges and recent achievements in the context of concurrent computing, with an emphasis on transactional memory.

Transactional Memory (TM) aims at making parallel programming more programmer friendly by providing an alternative synchronization mechanism to traditional lock-based concurrency. TM research has led to hardware TM implementations on both commodity and high performance computing microprocessors, as well as to TM integration in mainstream programming languages (e.g., C, C++) and leading open source compilers (e.g., GCC).

From a theoretical perspective, the TM abstraction raises several challenges in the way we view synchronization as well as in the way we implement it. A major goal of the workshop is to explore new directions and approaches for reasoning about Transactional Memory.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Models and semantics for concurrent computing
* Safety and liveness properties
* Tradeoffs in TM and concurrent computing
* TM algorithms and architectures
* Impossibility results and lower bounds
* TM performance and parallelism
* Speculation-friendly and transaction-friendly data structures and their algorithms
* Formal methods, semantics and verification of TM and concurrent systems
* TM for cluster, cloud, grid and high-performance computing
* Concurrent computing, synchronization, and shared memory
* Concurrent data structures and their algorithms
* Multiprocessor and multi-core architectures and algorithms
