===================================================================
Submission deadline: May 2, 2016

http://conferences.au.dk/algo16/wabi
===================================================================

Scope:

All research in algorithmic work in bioinformatics, computational biology and systems biology. The emphasis is mainly on discrete algorithms and machine-learning methods that address important problems in molecular biology, that are founded on sound models, that are computationally efficient, and that have been implemented and tested in simulations and on real datasets. The goal is to present recent research results, including significant work-in-progress, and to identify and explore directions of future research.

Topics:

Original research papers (including significant work-in-progress) or state-of-the-art surveys are solicited in all aspects of algorithms in bioinformatics, computational biology and systems biology - including, but not limited to:

* Exact and approximate algorithms for sequence analysis, gene and signal recognition, alignment and assembly, molecular evolution, structure determination or prediction, gene expression, molecular pathways and networks, proteomics, functional and comparative genomics, and drug design.

* Methods, software, and data repositories for development and testing of such algorithms and their underlying models, as well as high-performance computing approaches to hard learning and optimization problems.

* Novel approaches to analyzing and modeling next-generation sequence data, including sequence assembly, population genomics, metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and small RNA sequencing.

AGT@IJCAI 2016 Call for Papers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd Workshop on Algorithmic Game Theory at IJCAI
New York
July 11, 2016
http://www.gametheory.polimi.it/agtijcai.html

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Deadlines:

April 27, 2016 - Submission of contributions to workshops;
May 25, 2016 - Workshop paper acceptance notification;
May 30, 2015 - Deadline for final camera ready copy to workshop organizers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope:

Over the past fifteen years, research in theoretical computer science,
artificial intelligence, and microeconomics has joined forces to
tackle problems involving incentives and computation. This research
field, commonly named Algorithmic Game Theory, is becoming
increasingly more relevant.

The main aim of this one-day long workshop is to bring together the
rich variety of scientists that IJCAI attracts in order to have a
multidisciplinary forum within which discuss and analyze current and
novel challenges that the research in Algorithmic Game Theory faces.

Submission:

All paper submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated on the basis
of the quality of their contribution, originality, significance, and
the potential to generate fruitful discussions. Industrial
applications and position papers presenting novel ideas, issues,
challenges and directions are also welcome. Submissions are invited
in, but not limited to, the following topics:

- Algorithmic mechanism design
- Auction algorithms and analysis
- Behavioral Game Theory
- Bounded rationality
- Computational advertising
- Computational aspects of equilibria
- Computational social choice
- Convergence and learning in games
- Coalitions, coordination and collective action
- Economic aspects of security and privacy
- Economic aspects of distributed and network computing
- Information and attention economics
- Network games
- Price differentiation and price dynamics
- Social networks

Submission Guidelines:

Authors are invited to submit a paper of no more than 16 pages,
including references, in LNCS style. All submissions will be
electronic via the EasyChair page for the conference at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=agtijcai2016. Submissions must
adhere to the specified format and length. All the technical details
that are necessary for a proper scientific evaluation of a submission
must be included in a clearly-labelled appendix, to be consulted at
the discretion of program committee members. Please note that
reviewing will not be double-blinded.

Proceedings Publication:

To widen participation and encourage discussion, there will be no
formal publication of workshop proceedings. (We will, however, post
the accepted papers online to the benefit of the participants to the
workshop.) Therefore, submissions of preliminary work and papers to be
submitted or in preparation for submission to other major venues in
the field are encouraged.

Subject: [DMANET] 2nd CFC PACE 2016 - The 1st Parameterized Algorithms
and Computational Experiments Challenge
Message-ID: <5714D536.5040902@uni-jena.de>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed


Individuals and teams are invited to compete in the 1st Parameterized
Algorithms and Computational Experiments Challenge (PACE 2016) which is
respectfullydedicated to the memory of Professor David Johnson, a
Computer Science leader and visionary. Benchmark instances and
submission requirements are available at the challenge website
pacechallenge.wordpress.com <https://pacechallenge.wordpress.com>.

The challenge has two different tracks:

Track A "Tree Width": optimal solutions, heuristics, generating hard
instances, and collecting real-world instances.
Track B "Feedback Vertex Set": fixed-parameter algorithms.

IMPORTANT DATES:
----------------

- 1 March 2016: Call for contributions; benchmark instances available.
- 1 June 2016: Register participation (see pacechallenge.wordpress.com
<https://pacechallenge.wordpress.com> for details).
- 1 August 2016: DEADLINE to submit implementations.
- 22–26 August 2016: Results announced at the International Symposium
on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2016
<http://conferences.au.dk/algo16/ipec/>).

Participants of PACE are highly encouraged to submit manuscripts
describing their contributions to other publication venues such as IPEC
and arXiv.org. We also encourage the use of the provided benchmark
instances.

GOALS:
------

PACE investigates the applicability of algorithmic ideas studied and
developed in the subfields of multivariate, fine-grained, parameterized,
or fixed-parameter algorithms. It aims to:

- Bridge between algorithms design and analysis theory and algorithm
engineering practice.
- Inspire new theoretical developments.
- Produce universally accessible libraries of implementations and
repositories of benchmark instances.
- Encourage the dissemination of these findings in scientific papers.

TRACK A:
- Holger Dell, Saarland University and Simons Institute for the Theory
of Computing
- Thore Husfeldt, Lund University and IT University of Copenhagen

TRACK B:
- Falk Hüffner, TU Berlin
