Two PhD studentshsips in optimization are available at the Dept. of Management Science, University of Strathclyde Business School, Glasgow, UK. Funding is available to cover 3 years of tuition fees plus a tax free stipend (currently higher than £14,000 per year). Both studentships are open to candidates from any nationality (UK/EU/international), and the project topics are:
1) Data Mining in Social Networks
2) Node Deletion and Edge Deletion Problems in Networks
More details about the projects, funding, expected skills and how to apply are provided below. Also check the following link for further details (as well as other PhD studentships in the department):
ABOUT THE PROJECTS
1) Data Mining in Social Networks: Social data from networks such as Twitter and Facebook can be represented as networks. Similarly, various data about city living obtained through City Observatory housed in the Technology & Innovation Centre (TIC) Future Cities theme can be represented in a similar structure, using individuals as nodes of such a network and their connections as edges of the network. The proposed project will design efficient algorithms to mine opinions and sentiments in such networks, in particular in real-time and when big data is present. The problem of sentiment and opinion analysis involves studying the negative and positive expressions opined in social media on a specific subject matter. We will work on such algorithms that volume and velocity of data accumulated in the context of social media is the most crucial design factor. This will also exploit some of the theoretical insights gained in an ongoing cross-faculty PhD project with Department of Mathematics & Statistics. The project aims to establish both theoretical and computational analysis, using various tools and techniques such as network optimization, design of algorithms and integer programming. As part of the computational work, we plan to use ARCHIE-WeSt, the high performance computing centre housed at University of Strathclyde.
2) Node Deletion and Edge Deletion Problems in Networks: In this project, we plan to develop efficient algorithms to study the node and edge deletion problems on networks. These problems stem from various important applications in energy networks (e.g., how to build a network that can survive failures on particular power lines), epidemic containment (e.g., how to ensure disconnectivity between various populations) and defense operations (e.g., where to focus attacks on enemy to ensure faster victory). The problem involves in effectively identifying a subset of nodes or edges of a network, which on deletion results in a subgraph with desirable properties. Some of the properties of interest include the connectivity in the graph, a restrictive size of the largest component, and denseness of the components formed. As part of the research, we plan to establish theoretical and empirical analysis for two specific network types. The theoretical work might include methods such as complexity analysis, analysis of the hardness of approximation and developing approximation algorithms and polyhedral analysis for the problems. The experimental work might involve designing and implementing exact computational integer programs and efficient heuristics that would be built upon the theoretical foundation.
FUNDING AND ELIGIBILITY
Funding is available to cover 3 years of tuition fees for a UK/EU/international student, plus a tax free stipend higher than £14,000 per year. The student will be given opportunities to attend a conference and/or specialized training every year.
These PhD projects require a highly numerate graduate with skills and interests in computational science. Candidates should have at least a strong Honours degree or equivalent (a strong 2:1 Honours degree, or a B.Sc. degree with 3.3 GPA in a 4.0 system), or preferably a Master's degree in a quantitative discipline such as industrial engineering, operations research, mathematics or computer science (amongst others). Experience in programming and fundamental knowledge in optimization (in particular integer programming) are not essential but highly desirable. Candidates who are not native English speakers will be required to provide evidence for their English skills (such as by IELTS or similar tests that are approved by UKVI, or a degree completed in an English speaking country)
Applications are admitted until 31st May, or until a suitable candidate is found thereafter.
HOW TO APPLY
All PhD applications are to be made online at http://pgr.strath.ac.uk/. All documents (including scans of original documents) can be uploaded during the online application process. Candidates are expected to submit a cover letter, a research proposal detailing their 3-year plan, CV, any university degree certificates and transcripts, English test results (if applicable), two recommendation letters (or contact details of two referees, if letters are not available to them), and any other supporting documents. In order to be considered for this studentship, candidates should specifically note the title of this project in their online application when prompted about funding and their source of finance, and they should notify Ms Alison Kerr for their intent for studentship application.
More information about the department can be found here: http://www.strath.ac.uk/business/managementscience/

*****************************************************************
GraMSec'16
The Third International Workshop on Graphical Models for Security
Co-located with CSF 2016
Lisbon, Portugal - June 27, 2016
http://gramsec.uni.lu/
*****************************************************************
Graphical security models provide an intuitive but systematic approach to
analyze security weaknesses of systems and to evaluate potential protection
measures. Formal methods and cyber security researchers, as well as
security
professionals from industry and government, have proposed various graphical
security modeling schemes. Such models are used to capture different
security
facets (digital, physical, and social) and address a range of challenges
including vulnerability assessment, risk analysis, defense analysis,
automated defensing, secure services composition, policy validation and
verification. The objective of the GraMSec workshop is to contribute to the
development of well-founded graphical security models, efficient algorithms
for their analysis, as well as methodologies for their practical usage.
The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government
presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of
graphical models for security. The topics of the workshop include, but are
not limited to:
- Graphical models for threat modeling and analysis
- Graphical models for risk analysis and management
- Graphical models for requirements analysis and management
- Textual and graphical representation for system, organizational, and
business security
- Visual security modeling and analysis of socio-technical and
cyber-physical systems
- Graphical security modeling for cyber situational awareness
- Graphical models supporting the security by design paradigm
- Methods for quantitative and qualitative analysis of graphical
security models
- Formal semantics and verification of graphical security models
- Methods for (semi-)automatic generation of graphical security models
- Enhancement and/or optimization of existing graphical security models
- Scalable evaluation of graphical security models
- Evaluation algorithms for graphical security models
- Dynamic update of graphical security models
- Game theoretical approaches to graphical security modeling
- Attack trees, attack graphs and their variants
- Stochastic Petri nets, Markov chains, and Bayesian networks for security
- UML-based models and other graphical modeling approaches for security
- Software tools for graphical security modeling and analysis
- Case studies and experience reports on the use of graphical security
modeling paradigm.
