Celebrating 20 Years of the Lambert W function

25-28 July 2016
Western University
(University of Western Ontario)
London, Ontario, Canada

Web site:
www.apmaths.uwo.ca/~djeffrey/LambertW/LambertW.html<http://www.apmaths.uwo.ca/~djeffrey/LambertW/LambertW.html>

In 1996, the first comprehensive survey of the Lambert W function was published. To celebrate 20 years since that publication, Western University will host a workshop on the Lambert W function and on related special and elementary functions. Talks on applications, including physics, biology, sociology and computational science are welcome. Mathematical applications to areas such as number theory, combinatorics, delay-differential equations and so on are also welcome. Generalizations and other nonlinear eigenvalue functions and matrix functions are especially welcome. Graduate students are particularly encouraged to contribute and attend.

For further details, please see the web site, or write to djeffrey@uwo.ca<mailto:djeffrey@uwo.ca>

CFP: The 1st International Workshop for IOT Systems Provisioning & Management in Cloud Computing (ISyCC'2016)

To be held in conjunction with the 14th IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Compupting (ICSOC'2016), on October 10 2016, Banff, Alberta, Canada.

Scope:
------
IoT systems are becoming increasingly complex. More intelligent and heterogeneous IoT devices are introduced on the market.
Moreover, the integration of Cloud computing together with IoT systems is leaving space for the support of more sophisticated
applications and services.

To build efficient and reliable IoT systems in Cloud environments, significant challenges remain to be addressed. For instance,
how to enable the collection, management and sharing of massive amounts of data among devices and/or prospective software
in the Cloud? How to design appropriate mechanisms and/or algorithms to manage the Cloud resources? How to ensure reliable
integration and interaction between these resources and prospective third-part services?

ISyCC Workshop will be a forum for academics, industrial researchers, developers, and practitioners to discuss challenges and
advances of IoT systems in Cloud environments.

Special Issue on Parallel Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems
(http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/parallel_algorithms)

Scope

Combinatorial optimization problems model most of the application scenarios
frequently arising in practice. Unfortunately, optimal solutions to these
problems are hard to obtain, with most of them having high computational
complexity. Even in the case of problems admitting polynomial time
solutions, e.g., the classical shortest path problem, the relevant
applications should now work on very large input instances or should cope
with a large number of concurrent users. Thus, faster solution methods are
clearly needed for achieving real time responses for problems previously
considered as easy ones. The same also holds for most heuristic methods or
approximation algorithms that have been proposed for obtaining approximate
solutions for hard optimization problems in acceptable execution times. For
large-scale problems, these techniques are inadequate, and much faster
algorithmic techniques are needed again.

Due to the aforementioned limitations, parallelism has been considered a
means of deriving faster algorithmic solutions. Parallel computation is
virtually ubiquitous nowadays and can be found in all modern computing
platforms. Although the concept of parallel execution is simple, its
application on combinatorial optimization problems is not straightforward,
due to the inherently irregular control flow that the algorithms for this
kind of problem commonly have. In this Special Issue, we solicit
contributions that will propose new methodologies for solving problems in
combinatorial optimization using parallel computation, either in
shared-memory systems (e.g., multi-core/many-core processors, GPUs, etc.) or
in distributed-memory systems (e.g., clusters, cloud architectures, etc.).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Parallel exact algorithms: e.g., divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming,
etc.

- Parallel approximation algorithms- Parallel fixed parameter algorithms

- Parallel heuristics/metaheuristics for combinatorial optimization
problems: e.g., local search, simulated annealing, evolutionary computation,
swarm intelligence computation, etc.

- Parallel techniques in integer linear programming: e.g., parallelization
of branch-and-bound, column generation, and cutting plane methods or their
combinations (i.e., branch-and-cut or branch-and-price).

- Parallel algorithms for multi-objective optimization problems.

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.
We look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh for PPSN 2016
