Dear Colleagues,

We cordially invite applications for the 2016 G-RIPS program, jointly
organized by Zuse Institut Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin, Institute
for Pure and Applied Mathematics (LA, USA), and the Research Campus
MODAL Berlin.

Deadline for application is 15 April 2016.

We would be grateful if you could forward this email and/or display our
poster ([1]) at a prominent location to attract the attention of
interested Master and Ph.D. students.

For more information and application, please see below ([2]) and visit
the project website:
http://www.forschungscampus-modal.de/grips

Students with a background in combinatorial optimization, linear and
integer programming may be particularly interested in the RailLab
project with the project partner Deutsche Bahn [3].

Organizers:

* Prof. Dr. Christof Schütte (ZIB, FU Berlin)
* Prof. Dr. Thorsten Koch (ZIB, TU Berlin)
* Prof. Dr. Ralf Borndörfer (ZIB, FU Berlin)
* Dr. Stefan Zachow (ZIB)
* Prof. Dr. Tim Conrad (ZIB, FU Berlin)
* Prof. Dr. Christian Ratsch (IPAM, UCLA)

Thank you for your support and kind regards,
Stanley Schade (on behalf of the organizing team)

[2]: The Graduate-Level Research in Industrial Projects (G-RIPS) Program
provides an opportunity for high-achieving graduate-level students to
work in teams on a real-world research project proposed by a sponsor
from industry or the public sector. Each G-RIPS team is comprised of
four international students (two from the US and two from European
universities), an academic mentor, and an industrial sponsor. The
research problem is always a real problem of serious interest to the
sponsor and that offers a stimulating challenge to students.

Most of these projects involve both analytic and computational work. The
students, with direction from their academic mentor and industrial
sponsor, will learn about the problem, master the latest analytical and
computational approaches and techniques to solve it. At the end of the
program, the teams will present the results of their work and prepare a
final report. English is the only language required for participation.

> Scope
> The increasing availability of smart objects will radically change our cities. It is in fact a common opinion that, in the near future, our cities will be populated by a potentially higher number of devices that actively participate to the execution of pervasive and advanced services. Being massively distributed into the environment, such devices may generate, collect, exchange and process big data, provide distributed services, offer computational resources, and cooperate to perform some tasks locally, as well as to delegate the their execution to more powerful nodes in the infrastructure or at the network edge.
>
> At the same time, end-user mobile devices are becoming more and more pervasive. In many countries, the number of mobile cellular subscriptions greatly overcomes the current population (even more than +150%). Furthermore today's smartphones/devices are provided with increasing sensing/communication/computation capabilities and they are capable to produce fine-grained context-information by properly analysing/mining the data produced by embedded sensors, such as accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, etc.
>
> In this futuristic scenario the citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable devices, will assume the very special role of information prosumers (PROducers and conSUMERS). In fact, they will be constantly connected with whatever surroundings them and they will be formidable information consumers. At the same time, citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes that, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by smartphones, will analyze the situation and will produce reports to the community. Furthermore the citizen's smartphones will actively contribute in creating the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from surrounding devices thus partially relieving the communication infrastructure from the heavy burden of the huge amount of data produced in the envisioned scenario.
>
> All in all, cities are going to become a new complex ecosystem which has the potentiality to offer many amazing features and support innovative application. Unfortunately, fully exploiting, managing and accessing that ecosystem are still far to be fully viable and their fulfillment surely poses a formidable challenge.
>
> The CoWPER workshop aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms, methodological studies and experimentations on how to enable the formerly described ecosystem. Specifically, on how devise a city-wide networking infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust, ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments.
>
> In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following:
> • Models of network components' interactions on a smart-city
> • Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access;
> • Distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities;
> • Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches for smart cities
> • Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City environments;
> • Smartphone and mobile systems and applications;
> • Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones;
> • Crowd sourcing in smart cities;
> • IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities;
> • Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications;
> • Device-2-Device Communications (D2D);
> • Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and applications;
> • Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and applications;
> • Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems;
> • Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing in smart cities ecosystems;
> • Testbed demonstrating the feasibility of Smartphone based networks and interaction with Cyber physical Systems;
> • Applications, Business, Standards, and Social Issue;
> • Cooperative Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks Interoperability and Management
>
> All accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

> Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical paper by the deadline of 27th March 2016. Submissions will be accepted through EDAS (https://edas.info/N22207 <https://edas.info/N22207>).
