About the Conference
Real-Time Computing covers a broad spectrum of the intensively
developing area of low-latency priority-driven system responsiveness
under certain time constrains to essential and decisive human-computer
interactions with constantly incoming data stream. Research on real-time
intelligent systems is of a multi-disciplinary nature, exploiting
concepts from the areas as diverse as signal processing technologies,
computational intelligence, location systems, data processing, digital
document processing and embedded system design. To accomplish its
real-time performance, systematic analysis is carried out when the
systems are working.
Therefore, over the last few years real-time intelligent computing has
radically transformed human life style. In the today's competitive and
highly dynamic environment, analyzing data in real time is a must to
understand in detail how the systems are processing the data and to

Release of KaHiP v1.00
------------------------------------
We are proud to announce the release of a major update of our graph
partitioning framework KaHiP (Karlsruhe High Quality Graph
Partitioning). KaHiP is a family of high quality graph partitioning
programs. It contains various graph partitioning algorithms that can be
configured to either achieve the best known partitions for many standard
benchmark instances or to be a good tradeoff between partition quality
and running time. Since our first major release we added:
- advanced multilevel node separator algorithms based on max-flow
min-cut computations
- better support for social networks and web graphs by using
clustering-based contractions
- size-constraint label propagation
- a java interface as well as some bug fixes
The software is released under the GPL 3.0 License.

Matheuristics 2016
---
Sixth International Workshop on Model-based Metaheuristics
EXTENDED DEADLINE: May 4, 2016
4-7 September, 2016. Brussels, Belgium
More details and up-to-date information at
iridia.ulb.ac.be/matheuristics2016
Scope of the Workshop
======================
The Matheuristics workshop series is proposed as a primary forum for
researchers working on exploiting mathematical programming techniques
in a (meta)heuristic framework, granting to mathematical programming
approaches the problem robustness and time effectiveness that
characterize heuristics, or exploiting the mathematical programming
model formulation in the customization of a heuristic for specific or
general problems.
Metaheuristics such as tabu search, simulated annealing, GRASP, VNS,
genetic algorithms and ant colonies, have been originally proposed and
developed when the available Mixed Integer Programming (MIP)
algorithms and software or Constraint Programming methods were not an
efficient or even feasible alternative for solving real-world problem
instances, or significant subproblems thereof.
However, research on mathematical programming, and in particular on
discrete optimization, has led to a state of the art where MIP solvers
or customized MIP codes can be effective even in a heuristic context,
both as primary solvers or as subprocedures.
Matheuristics 2016 aims at collecting contributions that define the
state of the art for the computational effectiveness and efficiency or
the theoretical properties of matheuristics, which are algorithms
and codes that integrate metaheuristics and MIP strategies and
software. The workshop will be entirely devoted to this subject of
research and its applications. The conference program will consist of
plenary presentations, enriched by a couple of keynote or tutorial
lectures. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Model-based metaheuristics,
- Hybridizing (meta)heuristics and exact methods,
- MIP techniques used for defining heuristic solvers (such as local branching and RINS),
- Problem relaxations to guide (heuristic) search,
- Information from exact algorithms to develop heuristics,
- Decompositions and lower/upper bounds in matheuristic codes,
- Stochastic programming and heuristic search,
- Metaheuristics for stochastic problems,
- Design and configuration of matheuristic algorithms,
- Experimental analysis and modeling of algorithms,
- Real world case histories of matheuristic applications, and
- Automatic configuration of matheuristics and algorithm selection among others.
Although we do not discard their importance, Matheuristics 2016 is not
interested in heuristics tailored to a specific problem that have no
element which can be generalized to other problems (no matter how
mathematically sophisticated they are) nor in metaheuristics variants
or implementations that are not justified by a mathematical model.

Getting the highest performances with the lowest costs while respecting
environmental constraints is one of the most important concerns of the
designers of production and assembly systems. In addition to that, numerous
sub-problems may be considered in the design procedure such as: buffers
sizing, equipment selection, line balancing, etc. The aim of this session
is to introduce heuristic and metaheuristic optimization methods developed
to get an efficient design of production systems. We will focus on studies
that propose approached optimization techniques to solve various design
problems. Regarding the optimization approaches, single criterion and multi
criteria optimization approaches could be presented.
The topics of this session, but are not limited to, are:
- Manufacturing systems design: buffers sizing, equipment selection,
line balancing, reliability, eco-design, etc

Dear colleagues:
Many of you will be saddened to hear that Horst Sachs has died. He passed away on 25 April 2016, having turned 89 only a few weeks before, on 27 March. - Sachs founded the graph theory school in Ilmenau, which served as an important link between east and west during the iron curtain time and afterwards. More than a hundred scientific papers, among them the seminal book on graph spectra (with Doob and Cvetkovic), established his excellent international reputation. After his retirement in 1992 until his last months he continued his research and showed up regularly at the institute.

The submission deadline of the 10th Multidisciplinary Workshop on
Advances in Preference Handling (M-PREF) at IJCAI 2016 has been
extended by one week. The new deadline is now *May 8th*.
M-PREF is a non-archival venue and there will be no published
proceedings. However, informal proceedings will be provided at the
workshop and the papers will be posted on the website. Therefore it
will be possible to submit to other conferences and journals both in
parallel and subsequent to M-PREF 2016.

CALL FOR PAPERS:
10th Multidisciplinary Workshop on
Advances in Preference Handling (M-PREF)
New York, USA, during July 9-11, 2016
in conjunction with IJCAI-16.
http://www.mpref-2016.preflib.org
======================================================================
Preference handling has become a flourishing topic. There are many
interesting results, good examples for cross-fertilization between
disciplines, and many new questions.
Preferences are a central concept of decision making. As preferences
are fundamental for the analysis of human choice behavior, they are
becoming of increasing importance for computational fields such as
artificial intelligence, databases, and human-computer interaction as
well as for their respective applications. Preference models are
needed in decision-support systems such as web-based recommender
systems, in automated problem solvers such as configurators, and in
autonomous systems such as Mars rovers. Nearly all areas of artificial
intelligence deal with choice situations and can thus benefit from
computational methods for handling preferences. Preference handling is
also important for machine learning as preferences may guide learning
behavior and be subject of dedicated learning methods. Moreover,
social choice methods are also of key importance in computational
domains such as multi-agent systems.
This broadened scope of preferences leads to new types of preference
models, new problems for applying preference structures, and new kinds
of benefits. Preferences are studied in many areas of artificial
intelligence such as knowledge representation & reasoning, multi-agent
systems, game theory, social choice, constraint satisfaction, decision
making, decision-theoretic planning, and beyond. Preferences are
inherently a multi-disciplinary topic, of interest to economists,
computer scientists, operations researchers, mathematicians and more.
This workshop promotes this broadened scope of preference handling and
continues a series of events on preference handling at AAAI-02,
Dagstuhl in 2004, IJCAI-05, ECAI-06, VLDB-07, AAAI-08, ADT-09,
ECAI-2010, ECAI-2012, IJCAI-13, AAAI-14, and IJCAI-15. At the
previous edition of ADT-15 and LPNMR-15, which were co-located, one of
the conclusions was that collaboration between the two areas can be
very fruitful and should be fostered.
The workshop will provide a forum for presenting advances in
preference handling and for exchanging experiences between researchers
facing similar questions, but coming from different fields. The
workshop builds on the large number of AI researchers working on
preference-related issues, but also seeks to attract researchers from
databases, multi-criteria decision making, economics, etc.
======================================================================
TOPICS OF INTEREST
======================================================================
The workshop on Advances in Preference Handling addresses all
computational aspects of preference handling. This includes methods
for the elicitation, learning, modeling, representation, aggregation,
and management of preferences and for reasoning about preferences. The
workshop studies the usage of preferences in computational tasks from
decision making, database querying, web search, personalized
human-computer interaction, personalized recommender systems,
e-commerce, multi-agent systems, game theory, social choice,
combinatorial optimization, planning and robotics, automated problem
solving, perception and natural language understanding and other
computational tasks involving choices. The workshop seeks to improve
the overall understanding of and best methodologies for preferences in
order to realize their benefits in the multiplicity of tasks for which
they are used. Another important goal is to provide
cross-fertilization between the numerous sub-fields that work with
preferences.
* Preference handling in artificial intelligence
* Preference handling in database systems
* Preference handling in multiagent systems
* Applications of preferences
* Preference elicitation
* Preference representation and modeling
* Properties and semantics of preferences
* Practical preferences
