Funding Call for

SHORT-TERM SCIENTIFIC MISSIONS

available from

COST Action TD1207:
Mathematical Optimization in the Decision Support Systems
for Efficient and Robust Energy Networks

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

As part of the EU COST Action TD1207, http://cost-td1207.zib.de/, we are
pleased to announce that funding for so-called short-term scientific
missions is available for academic researchers and industrial practitioners.

STSMs are exchange visits aimed at supporting individual mobility,
strengthening existing networks and fostering collaboration between
researchers. An STSM should specifically contribute to the scientific
objectives of the COST Action, i.e., optimization problems for energy
applications, whilst at the same time allowing those partaking in the
missions to learn new techniques, gain access to specific data,
instruments and / or methods not available in their own institutions /
organizations. Basically, any researcher and research institution in
any of the 27 participating countries and International Partner
Countries (see

http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/ict/TD1207?parties

) is eligible. Early Career Investigators (ECI) are particularly
encouraged to apply.

Standard STSMs last from 5 to 90 days and can be financed with up
to EUR 2500 in total, of which up to EUR 160 per day for accommodation
and meal expenses. ECIs can request longer STSM (91 to 180 days), which
can be financed with up to EUR 3500.

Applications for the call are continuously (and quickly) reviewed, on a
first come-first served basis. See

http://cost-td1207.zib.de/STSM

for further details.


Best regards,

====================================================================================
3rd EAI International Conference on Green Communications and Networking - GreeNets 2016
June 27-29, 2016
Valencia, Spain
http://greenets.org/2016/show/home
====================================================================================

CALL FOR PAPERS

[Scope]

Global warming and climate change have been a growing worldwide concern. Six sources, i.e., transportation, power, buildings, industry, agriculture and forestry, and land use, have been identified as major contributors to the rise of global carbon dioxide (CO2). The mobile industry is seen as a potential enabler to reduce greenhouse gases contributed by these six sources provided that appropriate measures are implemented. On the other hand, the mobile industry itself will also contribute to CO2 emission through network operations, mobile equipments, etc. To meet the requirement of low-carbon economy development, it is necessary to reduce the operation expenditure or energy consumption of mobile networks, while maintaining acceptable quality of service. This conference will explore and explain the scope and challenges of designing, building, and deploying GreeNets. In this regard, the conference aims to establish a forum to bring together research professionals from diverse f!
ields including green mobile networ
ks, system architectures, networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation transmission, system and application issues related to GreeNets.


[Topics]

The conference invites original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Communications and Networking:
Communication techniques and protocols for GreeNets
Energy-efficient transmission technologies based on the cooperation communication
Scalable and flexible energy efficiency mobile network architectures, deployments, and applications

- Energy-efficient network architecture & protocols:
Scalability and mobility issues in energy efficiency cross-layer design
MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for mobile networks

- Systems and Technology:
Transactions and workflows in green mobile networks
Adaptability and stability of green mobile networks
Mobile and multimedia supported green mobile networks
Experimental and test bed studies for energy efficiency mobile networks, simulation tools

- Energy-efficient management:
Energy-efficient traffic balance, cooperation and management
Distributed energy efficiency resource management techniques
Protocols for cooperative management and control

[Publications]

- All accepted papers will be submitted for publication in Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries.

- Proceedings are submitted for inclusion to the leading indexing services: DBLP, Google Scholar, Thomson Scientific ISI Proceedings, EI Elsevier Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus, as well as ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL).

- Selected papers will be invited to a Special Issue on Green Communications and Networking 2016 in: International Journal ACM/Springer Mobile Networks & Applications (MONET): http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036

- Selected papers will be invited to publish in the EAI Endorsed Transactions on Energy Web and in the special issue of EAI Transactions on Intelligent Communication Protocols and Algorithms (http://eai.eu/transaction/intelligent-communication-protocols-and-algorithms).


[Paper submission]

- Papers should be in English.

- Regular papers should be up to 8 pages in length.

- Previously published work may not be submitted, nor may the work be concurrently submitted to any other conference or journal. Such papers will be rejected without review.

- The paper submissions must follow the SPRINGER formatting guidelines: http://greenets.org/2016/show/authors-kit

- All the papers formatted according with the instructions have to be submitted through the conference online system at: http://greenets.org/2016/show/initial-submission

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

GreeNets 2016 also seeks proposals for posters and live demonstrations describing novel work on green mobile networks, system architectures, networking and communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation transmission, system and application issues related to GreeNets. Posters and demonstrations will be presented during a reception at the conference. The poster/demo session is meant to introduce new and ongoing work and provide opportunities for authors to interact directly with conference attendees. Posters sessions provide a forum for researchers to present their work in progress that can generate discussion or promising new ideas from experts. On the other hand, live demos session will offer a unique opportunity to showcase real prototypes, tools, and systems to the conference attendees.

The areas of interest for both poster and demo abstracts are the same as for full research papers.

[Demo/Poster submission]

- Demo and poster abstracts must not exceed 3 pages. Titles should start with "Poster: ..." or "Demo: ..." depending on the case. The page limits include figures, tables, and references. Submissions may not be anonymous.

- Please use the main GreeNets conference paper style (http://greenets.org/2016/show/authors-kit) and submission guidelines.

- Poster and demo abstracts will be reviewed by at least three members of the poster/demo committee to ensure quality and matching to the goals of the poster/demo session as well as to the conference�s topics. Accepted poster and demo abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings.


Demo and poster proposals should include the following:

- The purpose and goals of the work.

- Any background and motivation needed to understand the work.

- Any critical hypotheses and assumptions that underlie the work.

- A clear summary of the contribution and/or results, in sufficient detail for a (re)viewer to understand the work and its relevance. If the work is at an initial stage, it is especially important to state clearly the anticipated contributions and any early results towards them.

- The relationship to other related efforts, where appropriate. Authors of accepted posters may be asked to point out relationships to work represented by other accepted posters.

- Where to find additional information (a web site where viewers can go to find additional information about the work how to contact the authors, including email addresses citations for any papers, books, or other materials that provide additional information)

If selected, authors shall prepare a final, camera ready version of the extended abstract, taking into account all feedback from reviewers, and formatted according to the GreeNets conference.


[Presentation at the conference]

In addition to space given to every accepted abstract during the poster/demo session, one author of the abstract will be given a slot in a further "10-minute madness" session within the main program. In this session, authors will have the opportunity to describe their work to the entire conference audience with a single slide and a 10-minute speech.

Optimisation
Message-ID: <56E175B8.6010803@nottingham.ac.uk>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

Dear Colleagues,

You are invited to two events on "Data Science for Optimisation"

- Stream at EURO 2016 (July 3-6, 2016 in Poznan, Poland)
http://www.euro2016.poznan.pl/abstract-submission/
session code: a7cf2cd3
Deadline: March 15

- Workshop in Leuven, Belgium. April 13-15
http://set.kuleuven.be/codes/dfofoundationalmeeting
Deadline: March 25

There are many real-world tasks that require using some optimisation
technique; ranging from scheduling, timetabling, vehicle routing, to the
optimisation problems that occur within machine learning, statistics, or
data science in general. A recurrent challenge is that optimisation
algorithms are themselves difficult and time-consuming to design,
implement, configure, and deploy. A wide range of existing methods
attempt to remedy this, e.g. by using statistical and machine learning
techniques so that optimiser itself can learn to adapt and so optimise
better. Many of these can be described as using data science methods to
improve optimisation methods. For example, in operational research (OR)
and artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning techniques are used
to configure, tune and select different optimisation algorithms.
However, although there there are many approaches in this direction, the
common interests can be obscured by a wide variety of different names
and terminologies, due to their origins in different research
communities.

We are motivated by the view that increased interaction between 'data
science' and 'optimisation' is potentially of great benefit to both. In
particular, applying data science techniques to improve optimisation
algorithms also has potential benefits to data science itself. The
optimisation algorithms are themselves a rich source of data and the
ability to test new ideas for prediction, and the control of the
decisions that optimisation algorithms make during their execution. The
control system of the optimisation algorithm may well use a combination
of agents, evolutionary search methods (genetic algorithms and genetic
programming) and data science techniques. Besides classic OR areas such
as scheduling, timetabling, and routing, the target optimisation
algorithms may also be ones used in data science. That is, data science
techniques, working along with OR optimisation techniques, have the
potential to improve the optimisation techniques used in data science
itself as well as in more traditional optimisation areas.

We hence invite participation to help promote interaction such methods
within OR, but also enhance interaction with other related disciplines
developing data science, such as AI, evolutionary computing, and control
theory.

Stream at EURO 2016 (July 3-6, 2016 in Poznan, Poland)
------------------------------------------------------

Deadline: March 15, 2016

In the European Conference in OR "EURO 2016"
http://www.euro2016.poznan.pl/
we are running a stream "Data Science in Optimisation".

You are invited to submit a brief abstract (maximum 1500 characters;
about 1-2 paragraphs), and if accepted then to give an associated
presentation. Note that the process is very lightweight as it does not
require a full paper or even extended abstract. Hence although the
deadline of March 15 is rather close there is still ample time to
submit.

Please use the following web page for submissions:
http://www.euro2016.poznan.pl/abstract-submission/
using invitation/session code a7cf2cd3

Workshop in Leuven, Belgium. April 13-15
----------------------------------------

We are also organising a meeting on ""Data Science for Optimisation"
in Leuven (just outside Brussels) with the intent of setting
up a EURO Working Group

http://set.kuleuven.be/codes/dfofoundationalmeeting

The motivation is to contribute to increasing the interaction and
exchange of techniques between data scientists and those developing
practical optimisation algorithms. Please consider attending, and we are
also seeking presentations from anyone that is working in optimisation
and or data science and would like to (informally) present relevant
work. Please register, before March 25, and/or feel free to contact us
for further details or to send us an abstract for a contributed talk.
