*About Bernard Chazelle*

Bernard Chazelle was born in 1955 in Paris, France. He received his PhD
under the supervision of David P. Dobkin from Yale university in 1980.
He wrote the second PhD thesis on computational geometry and taught the
first class on it. Bernard Chazelle has been a fixture of the field
since the very beginning, and some of the most well-known algorithms
and techniques used by the community are associated with him. He has
also worked on sublinear algorithms and more generally with techniques
for dealing with large data. More recently, he is working on natural
algorithms, bringing insights from theoretical computer science into
the study of natural phenomena. Over the years, he has published more
than 130 journal papers and been a mentor to more than 10 PhD students.


*Registration*

There is no official registration and no registration fee. The event is

*Abstracts*

David Dobkin
Bernard's research in the 70's

As Bernard's thesis advisor, I introduced him to the field of
computational geometry when he was a first year graduate students. In
this talk, I survey the situation at that time, his early results and
further research they have inspired.

Ken Clarkson
The Thrill Goes On: Bernard Yesterday and Today

From the excruciatingly difficult to the achingly elegant, Bernard
Chazelle's work on algorithms, especially geometric or natural ones,
has been profoundly influential. I'll sketch a few examples that have
been inspiring to me, including 1-dimensional range queries,
low-stabbing spanning trees, high-order Voronoi diagram construction,
deterministic constructions, and the s-energy of a system.

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/
*****************************************************************

***** New submission deadline: April 24 (23:59 CET) *****

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.

Subject: [DMANET] MINO Mathematical Challenge Announcement

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

The Marie Curie Initial Training Network on Mixed Integer Nonlinear Optimization (MINO, http://www.mino-itn.unibo.it) is a prestigious program funded by the European Commission. It addresses challenging research topics in the field of Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Optimization, with a primary mission of training the next generation of highly qualified researchers and managers in the field of Optimization in general, and in Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Optimization in particular.

As part of this training program and outreach activity, MINO is organizing an industrial challenge to bring together practitioners and researchers from different fields who are interested in finding better solutions to complex real-world problems. The objective of the challenge is to compare different modeling and search approaches for a specific real-world problem, it being the total waste water network design and operation optimization. All information about the challenge are at http://www.mino-itn.unibo.it/challenge-2016.

The competitors are free to model the problem in any way they please, and design a search algorithm suitable for their models, such that they obtain high quality solutions while satisfying the problem's constraints, and within the allowed time limit. The combination of a model and an algorithm will be referred to as a "Solver".

As a reference, a mathematical model of the problem is made available to the competitors to help them better understand the problem's characteristics, constraints, and objective. The mathematical model can be used, or modified, in any way, yet the participants are encouraged to build their own models, not necessarily a mathematical one, and design algorithms accordingly.

The top three competitors will be invited (with expenses covered) to present their work at the MINO project's final meeting taking place at the University of Bologna around mid-October 2016. More details will follow on the exact date and venue of the meeting. The current prize fund is 2500 Euros, that is to be split between the first (1300), second (800) and third (300) place competitors. Finally, a special issue of an international journal will be edited to publish the best contributions to the competition.

The competition is organized together with ORTEC and Royal Dutch Shell.
