THEME

SIROCCO is devoted to the study of the interplay between communication
and knowledge in multi-processor systems from both the qualitative and
quantitative viewpoints. Special emphasis is given to innovative
approaches and fundamental understanding, in addition to efforts to
optimize current designs.

SIROCCO has a tradition of interesting and productive scientific
meetings in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, attracting leading
researchers in a variety of fields in which communication and knowledge
play a significant role.


SCOPE

Original papers are solicited from all areas of study of local
structural knowledge and global communication and computational
complexities. Among the typical areas are distributed computing,
communication networks, game theory, parallel computing, social
networks, mobile computing (including autonomous robots), peer to peer
systems, and communication complexity. Keeping with the tradition of
SIROCCO, new areas are always welcome.


PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers are to be submitted electronically through EasyChair at

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sirocco2016

Authors are invited to submit their work in one of the three acceptable
formats: novel research contributions, position papers, and surveys.
Original research papers must contain results that have not previously
appeared and have not been concurrently submitted to a journal or
conference with published proceedings. In all cases, any partial overlap
with any published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly
indicated.

All submissions must be in English, in PDF format. You can use either of
the following layouts for your submissions:

- Cover page + 10 pages + references, letter or A4 paper, single column,
at least 11-point font, at least 1-inch margins, reasonable line spacing.

- 12 pages + references, LIPIcs or LNCS style.

Additional details may be included in an appendix, to be read at the
programme committee's discretion.


PROCEEDINGS

The post-proceedings of SIROCCO 2016 will be published by Springer in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS) after the conference.

We will also prepare an informal pre-proceedings volume with
author-prepared versions of the papers. The pre-proceedings will be
freely available online on the conference web page before the conference.


SPECIAL ISSUE

Selected papers from SIROCCO 2016 will be invited to a special issue of
the Theoretical Computer Science journal.


BEST PAPER AWARD

The authors of the best paper will be awarded a prize of 1000 EUR (in

The 14th International Conference on Parallel Problem Solving from Nature (PPSN 2016) will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, 17-21 September 2016. This biennial meeting brings together researchers and practitioners in the field of Natural Computing: the study of computational systems inspired by nature, including biological, ecological, physical, chemical, and social systems. This is a fast-growing interdisciplinary field, featuring a range of techniques and methods for dealing with large, complex, and dynamic problems with various sources of potential uncertainties.

PPSN 2016 will showcase a wide range of topics in Natural Computing including, but not restricted to: Evolutionary Computation, Artificial Neural Networks, Artificial Life, Swarm Intelligence, Artificial Immune Systems, Self-Organising Systems, Emergent Behaviours, Molecular Computing, Evolutionary Robotics, Evolvable Hardware and Applications to Real-World Problems. PPSN 2016 will also feature workshops and tutorials covering advanced and fundamental topics in the field of Natural Computing.

Paper Presentation

Following the well-established PPSN tradition, all accepted papers will be presented during poster sessions of about 16 papers. Each session will contain papers from a variety of topics, and will begin with a brief plenary overview by a distinguished researcher in the field. All accepted papers will be published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series by Springer.

Final Extended Paper Submission Deadline 18th April 2016

Researchers are invited to submit their original work in the field of Natural Computing. The page limit is 10 pages, and papers must be submitted in Springer LNCS style through the conference web page at http://www.ppsn2016.org/conference/paper-submission.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Second Call for Ph.D. students and Post Docs

Fine-grained complexity of algorithm and data structures is a new area with flourishing activity. Analogous to NP-completeness, fine-grained complexity relies on a few carefully chosen conjectures to prove conditional lower bounds for fundamental algorithmic and data structural problems. Some of the most important results in the area include quadratic lower bounds for classic problems such as edit distance, longest common subsequence and various polynomial lower bounds for dynamic data structures and the like. Of course, the long term goal is to replace these conditional lower bounds with unconditional ones, but this is far out of reach with current techniques.

Starting August 1, 2016 or later, a Ph.D. student and a Post Doc position is available under the supervision of Assistant Professor Kasper Green Larsen (www.cs.au.dk/~larsen).

The positions are within (but not limited to) the area of computational complexity of algorithms and data structures. The selected candidates will work mainly on fine-grained complexity in the form of proving conditional lower bounds and understanding the connections between different hardness conjectures. Secondly, the chosen candidates will also work on improving the current techniques for proving unconditional lower bounds - in particular for data structures, which is an area where we can in fact prove interesting and non-trivial unconditional lower bounds. The candidates are also free to pursue other interesting research questions in related areas.

The research will be carried out at the Department of Computer Science at Aarhus University, Denmark under the supervision of Assistant Professor Kasper Green Larsen. The positions will also be associated with the
Center for Massive Data Algorithmics (MADALGO). MADALGO is a basic research
center funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The center is
located in the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University,
Denmark, but also includes researchers at CSAIL, Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and at
Frankfurt University. The center covers all areas of the design,
analysis and implementation of algorithms and data structures for
processing massive data (interpreted broadly to cover computations where
data is large compared to the computational resources), with focus on
I/O-efficient, cache-oblivious and streaming algorithms.
See www.madalgo.au.dk for more information.

The Ph.D. positions are
administered through Graduate School of Science and Technology at Aarhus
University (talent.au.dk/phd/scienceandtechnology) and include full
tuition waiver and a very competitive scholarship. Applications are
welcomed from students with at least three years of full-time study by
August 2016. Students with a strong background in complexity theory and/or algorithms will be preferred.

One Post Doc position at the level of Research Assistant
Professor of Computer Science is also available. Postdoc positions are
initially for one year, but can be extended with an additional year by
mutual consent. We welcome postdoctoral researchers with clearly
demonstrated experience and skills in the areas of computational complexity, algorithms and/or data structures. The responsibilities of Post Docs may include modest teaching responsibilities.

The application deadline for both Ph.D. student and Post Doc positions is May
1, 2016. Applicants for Ph.D. student positions should apply using the
Aarhus Graduate School of Science and Technology application system also
accessible from www.madalgo.au.dk. Applicants for Post Doc positions
should apply by sending an email to Kasper Green Larsen at larsen@cs.au.dk. The email should include a letter of interest and a CV, as well as
indicate at least two names of references for recommendations.

For further information, contact Assistant Professor Kasper Green Larsen
at larsen@cs.au.dk.

Best regards/Mvh
