Matheuristics 2016
---
Sixth International Workshop on Model-based Metaheuristics
EXTENDED DEADLINE: May 4, 2016
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.

Call for Prize Nominations:
Prize for Innovation in Distributed Computing 2017
------------------------------------------------------
Awarded by the Colloquium on Structural Information and Communication
Complexity (SIROCCO).
Deadline for nominations: April 30, 2016.
Nominations are requested for the Prize for Innovation In Distributed
Computing. This prize was established to recognize individuals whose
research contributions expanded the collective investigative horizon in
SIROCCO's area of interest. That is, they formulated new problems, or
identified new research areas, that were at the time of their
introduction, unorthodox and outside the mainstream, but later attracted
the interest of the SIROCCO community.
This community is interested in the relationships between information
and efficiency in decentralized computing. The prize recognizes
originality, innovation, and creativity -- the qualities that reflect
the spirit of the SIROCCO conference.
The winner of the Prize for Innovation in Distributed Computing 2017 is
expected to give an invited talk at SIROCCO 2017. The winner of the 2016
edition of the prize (Masafumi Yamashita) will give a talk at SIROCCO
2016 which is going to be held on July 19-21, Helsinki, Finland.
Past prize winners are Nicola Santoro, Jean-Claude Bermond, David Peleg,
Roger Wattenhofer, Andrzej Pelc, Pierre Fraigniaud, Michel Raynal, and
Masafumi Yamashita.
The prize may not necessarily be awarded every year.
Eligibility
------------------------------------------------------
The following conditions must be met by the nominees to be eligible for
the prize. It is requested that a nomination letter explains and
demonstrates how the nominee matches these conditions.
(1) The original innovative contribution was introduced by the
nominee(s) for the first time in a publication at least five years
before the nomination deadline, and the publication must have appeared
in a conference proceedings or a scientific journal.
(2) At least one paper (co)authored by the nominee(s), either the
original paper, or a paper closely related to the innovative
contribution, must have appeared in a SIROCCO proceedings.
A nomination letter should identify the paper(s) that make(s) the
nominee eligible according to conditions (1) and (2) above, as well as
explain the contribution, its originality, and its significance.
Past SIROCCO papers and authors can be found at indexing sites, e.g.
Google Scholar or
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/sirocco/index.html.

=======================================================
The 4th Workshop on Biological Distributed Algorithms (BDA 2016)
Co-located with PODC 2016. July 25, 2016 in Chicago, IL USA
http://www.snl.salk.edu/~navlakha/BDA2016/
=======================================================
We are excited to announce the 4th workshop on Biological Distributed
Algorithms (BDA). The aim of the workshop is to foster collaborative research
between biologists and distributed computing theory researchers, with the hope
of producing better understanding of the behavior of distributed biological
systems, as well as new ideas for design of algorithms for engineered or
computational networks.
BDA 2016 will include presentations on distributed algorithms related to a
variety of biological systems, with special attention to communication and
coordination in insect colonies (e.g. foraging, navigation, task allocation,
construction) and networks in the brain (e.g. learning, decision-making,
attention).
This is a one-day workshop.
===========
SUBMISSIONS
===========
We solicit submissions of extended abstracts describing recent results
relevant to biological distributed computing. We especially welcome extended
abstracts describing new insights and / or case studies regarding the
relationship between distributed computing and biological systems even if
these are not fully formed. Since a major goal of the workshop is to explore
new directions and approaches, we especially encourage the submission of
ongoing work. Selected contributors would be asked to present, discuss and
defend their work at the workshop. By default, the submissions will be
evaluated for either oral or poster presentation, though authors may indicate
in their submission if it should be only considered for one of the
presentation types. Submissions should be in PDF and include title, author
information, and a 4-page extended abstract. Shorter submissions are also
welcome, particularly for poster presentation.
Please use the following EasyChair submission link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bda20160
Note: The workshop will not include published proceedings. In particular, we
welcome submissions of extended abstracts describing work that has appeared or
is expected to appear in other venues.
=================================
Support for students and postdocs
=================================
To encourage the participation of researchers at the early stages of their
career, the NSF has generously granted us with the means to provide financial
support for student and postdoc participants. Specifically, for each accepted
(oral or poster) presentation, we will reimburse the registration fee and
at least $350 of additional travel expanses (the exact amount will be
determined later
on but it is expected to be higher) of one student/postdoc author.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND PROCEEDINGS
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract or full paper of at
most 12 pages and an optional appendix.
For the first time the ESA 2016 proceedings will be published in the
Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series,
based at Schloss Dagstuhl.
Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX, using the LIPIcs style file
(https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/lipics/instructions-for-authors/).
The maximum length of the paper (excluding references and the optional
appendix) is 12 pages. Do not change the margin size or the font, do
not make a separate title page, etc.: use the LIPIcs style file as
given. Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be placed in an
appendix to be read by the program committee members at their
discretion.
These guidelines are strict: papers failing to adhere to the
guidelines (by not providing the omitted proofs in an appendix, being
more than 12 pages, or not being in LIPIcs format) will be rejected
without consideration of their merits.
Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission
system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esa16).
Results previously published in another conference proceedings or
journal (or scheduled for publication prior to ESA) will not be
accepted at ESA. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with
published proceedings, or to both tracks of ESA 2016, is not
permitted.
There will be a Best Student Paper Award as well as a Best Paper
Award, both sponsored by EATCS. In order for a paper to be considered
for the Best Student Paper Award, all of its authors are required to
be students.
By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of
acceptance at least one of the authors must register at ALGO 2016 or
