Workshop "Data Science meets Optimization"
RWTH Aachen, Germany, April 4-5, 2016
http://www.or.rwth-aachen.de/dataopt
With the recent abundant availability of data in many economic and
scientific contexts, there is a need for scientists who can "make
sense of data." Data science, broadly interpreted, touches on
statistics, machine learning, and knowledge discovery.
Optimization, on the other end, wants to "suggest best actions" based
on data. Tremendous progress has been made recently in fields like
integer programming. This workshop aims at bringing together
researchers from data science and optimization (or: predictive and
prescriptive analytics) to foster an exchange in both directions. We
would like to identify avenues on how to attack and contribute to
solving global challenges coming from sectors like energy, mobility,
scarce resources, ageing societies, and the like.
Keynote Speaker: Kristian Kersting, U Dortmund, "Democratization of
Optimization"
Please register by March 28, 2016.

Computability in Europe 2016: Pursuit of the Universal
Paris, France
June 27 - July 1st, 2016
http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/CIE2016/
CALL FOR INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS
* IMPORTANT
* Deadline for Informal Presentations: APRIL 23, 2016
* Deadline for ASL student travel grant: March 27, 2016
* For info on funding opportunities for students, see below
There is a remarkable difference in conference style between computer
science and mathematics conferences. Mathematics conferences allow for
informal presentations that are prepared very shortly before the
conference and inform the participants about current research and work in
progress. The format of computer science conferences with pre-conference
proceedings is not able to accommodate this form of scientific
communication.
Continuing the tradition of past CiE conferences, also this year's CiE
conference endeavours to get the best of both worlds. In addition to the
formal presentations based on our LNCS proceedings volume, we invite
researchers to present informal presentations. For this, please send us a
brief description of your talk (between one paragraph and two pages) by
the DEADLINE:
APRIL 23, 2016
Please submit your abstract electronically, via EasyChair, selecting the
category
"Informal Presentation".
You will be notified whether your talk has been accepted for informal
presentation usually within a week or two after your submission.
**************************************************************
FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES:
CiE 2016 has received funding from ASL (Association for Symbolic Logic)
and EATCS (European Association for Theoretical Computer Science) that
allows students who are members of ASL or EATCS and want to attend CiE
2016 to apply for travel funds or a reduction of the early registration
fee. See the conference website
(http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/CIE2016/grants.php) for details.

2nd Workshop on Algorithmic Game Theory at IJCAI
New York
July 11, 2016
http://www.gametheory.polimi.it/agtijcai.html
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Deadlines:
April 27, 2016 - Submission of contributions to workshops;
May 25, 2016 - Workshop paper acceptance notification;
May 30, 2015 - Deadline for final camera-ready copy to workshop organizers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope:
Over the past fifteen years, research in theoretical computer science,
artificial intelligence, and microeconomics has joined forces to
tackle problems involving incentives and computation. This research
field, commonly named Algorithmic Game Theory, is becoming
increasingly more relevant.
The main aim of this one-day long workshop is to bring together the
rich variety of scientists that IJCAI attracts in order to have a
multidisciplinary forum within which discuss and analyze current and
novel challenges that the research in Algorithmic Game Theory faces.
Submission:
All paper submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated on the basis
of the quality of their contribution, originality, soundness, and
significance. Industrial applications and position papers presenting
novel ideas, issues, challenges and directions are also welcome.
Submissions are invited in, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Algorithmic mechanism design
- Auction algorithms and analysis
- Behavioral Game Theory
- Bounded rationality
- Computational advertising
- Computational aspects of equilibria
- Computational social choice
- Convergence and learning in games
- Coalitions, coordination and collective action
- Economic aspects of security and privacy
- Economic aspects of distributed and network computing
- Information and attention economics
- Network games
- Price differentiation and price dynamics
- Social networks
Submission Guidelines:
Authors are invited to submit a paper of no more than 16 pages,
including references, in LNCS style. All submissions will be
electronic via the EasyChair page for the conference at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=agtijcai2016. Submissions must
adhere to the specified format and length. All the technical details
that are necessary for a proper scientific evaluation of a submission
must be included in a clearly-labelled appendix, to be consulted at
the discretion of program committee members. Please note that
reviewing will not be double-blinded.
Proceedings Publication:
To widen participation and encourage discussion, there will be no
formal publication of workshop proceedings. (We will, however, collate
the accepted papers to the benefit of the participants to the
workshop.) Therefore, submissions of preliminary work and papers to be
submitted or in preparation for submission to other major venues in
the field are encouraged.

Funded PhD Studentships, Department of Computer Science, Royal
Holloway, University of London, UK.
Applications are invited for funded PhD studentships in the Department
of Computer Science at Royal Holloway, starting on 19th of September
2016. We particularly welcome female applicants as they are
under-represented among our PhD student population.
Some of the studentships have an open topic as long as this is related
to the interests of one of the Department's research groups:
Algorithms and Applications, including complexity theory;
Bioinformatics; Computer Learning; Distributed and Global Computing,
including distributed algorithms; and Software Language Engineering.
These studentships are for three years and include a stipend of circa
£16,000 per year plus a Home/EU fee waiver. Applicants are expected to
have obtained a first-class degree in Computer Science or a cognate
discipline, and must obtain the support of a potential supervisor in
the Department prior to submitting an applications. Initial contact
with supervisors should be made at least two weeks prior to the
closing date for applications.
Closing date for open topic applications: 10th of April 2016.
To apply, please use our on-line system
https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/studyhere/researchdegrees/applying/home.aspx
to submit the following items:
(1) a research topic/area and the name of a potential supervisor;
(2) a covering letter describing your reasons for wishing to pursue a
PhD in the proposed area, incuding why you think that you are
qualified to do research in that area;
(3) a research proposal where you expand on your research topic: why
the topic is important, what is the state of the art in the area, and
what are the research contributions that you would like to make beyond
the state of the art -- this does not need to be too long but it
should contain enough information for us to make a judgement on the
viability of carrying out such a research project in the Department;
(4) a current CV;
(5) any documents proving your actual or expected degree
classifications, as well as results of any previous University
examinations;
(6) two academic references.
