ABOUT ADFOCS
---------------------
ADFOCS is an international summer school held annually at the Max Planck
Institute for Informatics (MPII). It is organized as part of the activities
of the MPII, in particular the International Max-Planck Research School
(IMPRS), MPII's graduate program. The purpose of this summer school is to
introduce young researchers to topics which are the focus of current
research in theoretical computer science. We bring together three leading
researchers in the field and international participants at the graduate
level and above. This year's focus is on "Foundations of Distributed
Computing."

PROGRAM
--------------
Our invited speakers give five 105-minute lectures/exercises, allowing for
discussions. The lecturers are (in alphabetical order):
* Maurice Herlihy, Brown University, USA
* Rotem Oshman, Tel-Aviv University, Israel
* Roger Wattenhofer, ETH Zurich, Switzerland

LOCATION & TRAVEL INFORMATION
------------------------------------------------
ADFOCS will be held at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in
Saarbrücken, Germany. Saarbrücken is easily reachable from Frankfurt,
Stuttgart, Paris, or Luxembourg. Technically, Saarbrücken also has its own
international airport.

REGISTRATION
--------------------
The registration fee is EUR 130 for *early registration until July 15* and
EUR 180 after that date. The fee covers lunches and social events. It does
not include accommodation, but we can help you with your reservations.
Per-night prices, including taxes and breakfast, typically range from about
EUR 20 (youth hostel, double room) to about EUR 70 (hotel, single room). A
limited number of grants for graduate students or young researchers are
available. For application please send your CV until *June 1*. Further,
please have your supervisor at your institute send an email with a brief
letter of recommendation, certifying in particular your relation with the
topics in ADFOCS, before the *deadline*.

The Canzar lab at the Gene Center of the University of Munich (LMU) is
recruiting graduate students in algorithmic bioinformatics, to start
in fall 2016.

The successful applicant will develop and engineer efficient
algorithms for analyzing biological high-throughput sequencing data.
Supporting the lab's agenda, the successful candidate will employ
tools and techniques from combinatorial optimization and machine
learning to leverage large numbers of publicly available data sets.
Translated into scalable and usable software, they will facilitate the
systematic exploration of important biological or biomedical
questions, such as the functional impact of alternative splicing.

The Canzar lab is embedded in the stimulating, interdisciplinary
environment of the Graduate School for Quantitative Biosciences Munich
(QBM), which integrates approaches ranging from bioinformatics and
theoretical biophysics to biochemistry, molecular systems biology, and
synthetic biology. The lab is housed in the new Research Center for
Molecular Biosystems (BioSysM) at the life sciences campus
Grosshadern/ Martinsried.

We are seeking motivated candidates with a degree in computer science,
(applied) mathematics, or bioinformatics to join our lab.

To apply, send your application materials, including a motivation
letter, your CV, and names of two referees in a single pdf file before
31 August 2016 to Stefan Canzar (canzar@ttic.edu), who can also supply
further information about this position. The Canzar lab moves to LMU
in September, our website is still at TTI Chicago:

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
====================

The 19th International Symposium on Research in Attacks, Intrusions
and Defenses (RAID 2016), previously known as Recent Advances in
Intrusion Detection, aims at bringing together leading researchers and
practitioners from academia, government, and industry to discuss novel
research contributions related to computer and information security.

Attendees typically include:

- Researchers working in the field of computer and information security
- Academics studying the field of cyber security
- Incident response and security teams with responsibility for
coordinating computer security
- Technical staff who determine security product needs and implement
solutions
- Anyone wanting to learn more about computer security in general

RAID 2016 is an excellent opportunity to discuss cutting-edge research
in intrusion detection and defenses, malware, application security,
anomaly detection, special environments and sandboxing, web security
and social networks, and network security, among other topics.
