PHD STUDENTSHIPS IN MATHEMATICS & STATISTICS
AVAILABLE FROM 3 OCTOBER 2016

As part of the launch of our Graduate School, the Open University has
announced 30 PhD studentships for study commencing 3 October 2016.
Applications in Mathematics and Statistics are particularly
encouraged. Studentships cover full-time fees, include a stipend
(currently £14,296 per annum) plus £1000 annual travel allowance, and
are for three years.

Situated on the OU Campus in Milton Keynes, the Department of
Mathematics and Statistics provides a friendly and flexible working
environment for all of its staff and students, and holds a Bronze
Athena SWAN award. We particularly welcome applications from women:
the Department ensures that every female PhD student is allocated a
female member of staff as a point of contact, and organises networking
events for female academic staff and PhD students.

Several research projects are available, covering topics in pure
mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics, and include projects
related to discrete mathematics. Full details of projects are
available from:
http://www.mathematics.open.ac.uk/study/phd

Informal enquiries are welcome, and should be made to the Research
Director mct-maths-stats-res-dir@open.ac.uk in the first instance.

Completed application forms, together with a covering letter
indicating your suitability and reasons for applying, should be sent
to Science-PhD-Recruitment@open.ac.uk to arrive by 5pm on Friday, 29
July 2016. Application forms are available from:
http://www.openuniversity.co.uk/phd

This opportunity is available only to applicants from the UK, EU or
EEA who have been ordinarily resident in the UK, EU or EEA for the
last three years.

Special Issue in Journal of Heuristics
on Metaheuristics for Combinatorial Optimization
(extended deadline: July 31st, 2016)

http://www.franciscochicano.es/joh-metacop
===============================================================


** DESCRIPTION

Combinatorial Optimization Problems consist in finding an optimal
solution (according to some objective function) from a finite search
space. These problems arise in Industry and Academia and, unfortunately,
most of them cannot be solved efficiently, that is, they are NP-hard and
no polynomial time algorithm is known to solve them. For this reason, in
the last decades researches have investigated the use of approximated
algorithms to find near optimal solutions to these problems. In
particular, a great research effort has been devoted to the development
of metaheuristic algorithms to solve combinatorial optimization
problems, like Evolutionary Algorithms, Ant Colony Optimization,
Particle Swarm Optimization, Iterated Local Search, Variable
neighbourhood Search, Hybrid Metaheuristics, etc.

Successfully solved problems include scheduling, timetabling, network
design, transportation and distribution problems, vehicle routing,
traveling salesman, graph problems, satisfiability, energy optimization
problems, packing problems and planning problems.

Prominent examples of metaheuristics include evolutionary algorithms,
simulated annealing, tabu search, scatter search, memetic algorithms,
ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, variable
neighbourhood search, iterated local search, greedy randomized adaptive
search procedures, estimation of distribution algorithms,
hyperheuristics and hybrid algorithms.

We encourage authors to submit original high-quality research on the
application of metaheuristic algorithms to combinatorial optimization
problems.


** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All submissions have to be prepared according to the "instructions for
authors" as published in the journal website at
http://www.springer.com/mathematics/applications/journal/10732 . Authors
should submit their manuscripts to the Journal of Heuristics Editorial
Manager at https://www.editorialmanager.com/heur . When submitting a
paper, please select the special issue article type "S.I. :
Metaheuristics for Combinatorial Optimization".


** TENTATIVE SCHEDULE

31 July 2016 submission deadline (extended)
15 November 2016 authors notification
15 February 2017 authors' revisions
5 June 2017 final notification
12 June 2017 final manuscript

16th Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics

August 22-24, 2016. Aarhus, Denmark

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.

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.
