Paper Submission
Authors are invited to submit papers electronically. Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not exceed 10 letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and references using the following templates (latex, pdf, doc). Authors should submit the manuscript in PDF format and make sure that the file will print on a printer that uses letter size (8.5 x 11) paper. The official language of the meeting is English. All manuscripts will be reviewed and will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to the conference attendees. Papers conforming to the above guidelines can be submitted through the BDCAT 2016 paper submission system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bdsea2016).

Submitted papers must represent original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered. Authors may contact the conference PC Chair for more information.

Selected papers from BDCAT 2016 will be invited to extend and submit to the Special Issue on Big Data Computing in the IEEE Transaction on Cloud Computing, IEEE Transaction on Big Data and other leading journals.

Subject: [DMANET] Open 3-year PhD position at Univ. Nice in
cooperation with WEVER
Message-ID:
<CAHxk-__pcNnU=UOhK=yn68G9YTn6+G8DYNKRyEtikcxewYmz3A@mail.gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

A fully funded 3-year PhD position at Univ. Nice in cooperation with the
start-up company WEVER is to be filled as soon as possible. Desired
starting date: as soon as possible (preferably October 2016; there is some
flexibility with the starting date though). Fixed 3-year-contract, net
salary minimum 1500 Euro/month.

Topic:
The start-up company WEVER offers small-distance rideshare services, taking
place either regularly or occasionally together with special events, for
users registered in their system. The idea is to offer incentives for users
willing to accept a detour to accept other users as passengers, in the form
of vouchers or discounts for certain events. These vouchers or discounts
are offered by companies that in turn pay a fixed amount to WEVER for
every rideshare that indeed takes place and that is sponsored by their
vouchers.
The goals of this thesis are twofold: on the one hand, a sound mathematical
model describing the interactions between users and companies, and on the
other hand also an implementation of the model. More details on the subject
can be found at
http://math.unice.fr/~dmitsche/thesisproposal.pdf

Desired background:
probability theory, analysis of algorithms, programming skills. Knowledge
of French is not required. The candidate will spend half of the time at
Univ. Nice in the probability theory group, half of the time at WEVER.

Deadline for applications:
Sept 5, 2016. Send a CV, a short motivation letter and 2 names that can be
contacted for reference letters to Dieter Mitsche, dmitsche@unice.fr.
Informal inquiries welcome.

Hello,

The University of Nottingham Ningbo has PhD scholarships for suitable candidates who are interested in Datamining, Optimisation, Artificial Intelligence and related subjects such as:


* Data mining/machine learning challenges: large data sets, mixture of data types (including images), data quality and security issues.

* Optimisation challenges: dealing with uncertainty, dynamic problems, large scale optimization problem, new optimization and data mining combinations such as simulation and machine learning.

* Social challenges - users need to understand and trust the solution methods or they will not use them optimally. What technical implications does this have in application areas such as medical data, logistic problems and other areas of the digital economy.

The research projects are multidisciplinary in nature and will involve solving business problems related to designing, planning, controlling and improving of operations and management processes. The scholarships will be attractive to researchers from a range of industrial, engineering, computer science or management backgrounds.

PhD Scholarship package:
The scholarships are based at The University of Nottingham's campus in Ningbo, China. They are available from September 2016 for a period of three years, with a stipend of up RMB 3,000 per month and an accommodation allowance of RMB 4,800 per year for local students and RMB 12,000 per year for international students. Tuition fees are fully funded and medical insurance is provided. Teaching assistantships with extra payment may be available for talented PhD students.

How to Apply:
The application deadline is 15 August 2016. To apply please send an email with the subject IAMET scholarships and the following attachments to PHDAdmissions@nottingham.edu.cn<mailto:PHDAdmissions@nottingham.edu.cn> :

The goal is to present recent research results, including significant work-in-progress, and to identify and explore directions of future research.

Poster Submission:

We invite researchers to submit their latest results that fall into the general area of algorithms in bioinformatics in the form of a poster. Therefore they are requested to submit an abstract that will be included in the conference package handed out at the workshop. A poster abstract must be in plain text and no longer than 500 words, not including bibliographic references. The submission form can be found via:

http://conferences.au.dk/algo16/wabi/call-for-posters/

Poster submission deadline: Monday, August 1, 2016.
Notification of poster acceptance: Monday, August 8, 2016.
Workshop: August 22-24, 2016

The poster session will be in the afternoon of Tuesday, August 23. The format will be A0 vertical (84cm=33.1" wide, 118cm=46.8" high). At least one author of each accepted poster is required to register for and attend the workshop.
