==========================================================================

IEEE Communication Magazine Feature Topic – Network Slicing (CfP)
Network slicing has evolved from a simple network overlay concept to a fundamental feature of the emerging 5G systems enabling dynamic multi-service support, multi-tenancy and the integration means for vertical market players. Network slicing can drastically transform the networking perspective by abstracting, isolating and separating logical network behaviors from the underlying physical network resources. Network operators, can exploit network slicing for reducing capital and operations expenditures, allowing also programmability and innovation, necessary to enrich the offered services from simple communications services to a wider range of business services. The separation of different functions by abstractions (e.g. radio resources from packet processing) simplifies the integration challenges especially for applications supporting vertical industries beyond telecommunications.
Network slicing in 5G systems may be performed by abstracting different physical infrastructures into a logical network that contains shared resources, such as radio spectrum or dedicated core network equipment, and virtual network functions obtained by breaking down single physical equipment into multiple instances, which are isolated from each other. Virtualization of network functions allow to decouple network node functions from proprietary hardware appliances in order to create distinct building blocks that can be flexibly chained to create communication services.
The notion of resources in 5G network slicing includes network, compute and storage capacity resources; virtualized network functions; shared physical resources; and radio resources. Service designers can select the optimal control/user plane split, as well as compose and allocate virtualized network functions at particular locations inside the core or radio access network depending on the service requirements. The creation and management of network slicing is a challenging process that poses new problems in service instantiation and orchestration, resource allocation/sharing and assignment procedures as well as network virtualization technologies.
Existing open source, industry and standards developments have given shape to the initial perception of a 5G network slice, while further research activities aim to enhance such new evolving concept by exploring its full potential. The so-called 5G network slice fully supports a particular communication service exploiting the principles of software-defined networks and network function virtualization in order to fulfill the business and regulatory requirements. The achieved networking and service flexibility enables a radical change, beyond network sharing, enabling different mobile operators to offer tailored services and means for network programmability to OTT providers and or vertical market players.
Scope of Submissions
Original contributions are invited on the latest advancements on network slicing for 5G systems considering architecture, network management, orchestration and mechanisms that enable virtualization and multi-tenancy. The topics of interest within the scope of this issue include (but are not limited to) the following:

* Network Slicing architectures and deployment practices
* Network slicing and multi-tenancy support in service overlay networks
* Network function (de)composition and allocation considering "atomic" functions
* QoE support management mechanisms in network slices
* Multi-service and multi-connectivity network slicing
* Next generation of orchestration architectures combining SDN and NFV
* Network resource programmability and developments on the Northbound-APIs
* Mobile Edge Computing and service optimization
* Network slicing and backhaul /fronthaul mechanisms
* Network slicing for converged fixed-wireless 5G networks

Self-Organizing Systems available at UTC (Compiegne - France)
Message-ID:
<CAFzrH+AoKVDVp4RJR-qFJznObUE3k-UaQoHnFpEfYF-LoEYQeg@mail.gmail.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8


A fully-funded 1 year (renewable for at least another year, contingent
on performance) postdoc position in self-organizing systems is
available at the Laboratory of Excellence (LABEX) at the Université de
Technologie de Compiègne (UTC) in France (www.utc.fr/labexms2t).

The successful candidate will work with Dr. Eliseo Ferrante on
exciting topics at the interface between self-organized artificial
life, robotics systems and statistical physics. The Postdoc position
is expected to start in Fall 2016 or later (flexible) and is open
until filled.

Project description:

Our lab considers self-organizing systems from a unique
interdisciplinary point of view that combines artificial life,
engineering, statistical physics, and biology. We study how various
biological and technological components can collectively achieve
complex dynamics using only simple rules and no centralized control.
Examples include bird flocks, insect and robot swarms, and bacteria
colonies coordinating to achieve collective motion.

One of the fundamental challenges of self-organizing systems is the
integration of local and global dynamics. While individual components
are mainly linked to local sensing and actuation, coherent global
responses are required for the organism or group to perform and
survive collectively. In order to achieve this collective response,
those systems need to have correlations in at least some of their
individual state variables that scale up with the system's size.
Various processes may provide mechanisms for this coherent collective
response. For example, the addition of few long-range interactions is
enough to produce integrated dynamics in small-world networks.
Furthermore, in absence of long-range interactions, systems in a
critical state (between order and disorder) naturally display
long-range correlations that can achieve coherent system-level
dynamics. Finally, there could also be other types of interaction
modes responsible for reaching coherent collective response.

The project undertaken by the candidate will be focused on
understanding self-organizing system that must simultaneously manage
local and organism-level dynamics. The candidate will study systems in
which a collective response is generated at the collective scale, as a
function of stimuli that are exerted at the local scale. The candidate
will explore whether this property is already present in existing
self-organization mechanisms, and potentially develop novel models in
which collective response is generated by the interplay between three
different mechanisms: small-world topologies, criticality, and
self-organization. Potential applications include collective
exploration and surveillance with technological devices such as
drones, which will take advantage of this collective response in order
to have a fast reaction to a discovered resource.

The candidate will be using tools such as multi-agent simulations and
mathematical models to study collective systems with different types
of interaction patterns. She or he will focus on scenarios where
global and local dynamics needs to be integrated in a group of agents,
in order to achieve specific collective goals involving collective
response, such as: mapping an unknown environment, achieving
collective response to the discovery of a feature in the environment,
performing dynamic agent re-allocation in the environment, etc … In
order to do so, the candidate will focus on analyzing the interplay
between the different mechanisms able to achieve collective response,
in order to find which configuration is best for each scenario.

Candidate's profile:

The candidate must have earned a Doctorate degree in computer science,
statistical physics, complex systems, or relevant disciplines, and
must be self-motivated and able to work autonomously.

The candidate is expected to be proficient in programming languages
such as Python, Java, C++ and to have solid knowledge of scientific
software packages such as Matlab, R, Mathematica. The candidates must
have experience with large-scale multi-agent simulations, and
familiarity with mathematical modeling of collective systems using
several techniques (ODEs, mean field approximations, chemical reaction
networks, Fokker-Planck equations, Langevin equations, etc …) will
definitely be a plus.

Candidates with an interdisciplinary background that are interested in
questions at the interface between science and engineering will be
highly preferred.

Fluent English (written and spoken) is required, and only applications
in English will be accepted. Above all, the applicants must be
motivated, autonomous, and able to learn quickly and work effectively
on challenging research problems.

Documents required to apply:

To apply, you can send the following documents to Eliseo.Ferrante@hds.utc.fr:

- Curriculum vitae
- At least two references and/or recommendation letters
- A statement of research experience and interests
- Publication record stating impact factor (if present) and number of citations

Message-ID: <7cd1fd3d-e308-52d1-8c3a-c7bb39fb7b18@b-tu.de>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

We are looking for a strong, motivated PhD candidate with a background
in mathematics and/or computer science for a PhD scholarships in the
field of optimization of local production chains.

*Background*

In October 2016 the Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU)
Cottbus-Senftenberg will launch the new thematic cluster "Local
Production by Smart Value Chains" as part of the BTU Graduate Research
School (GRS). Successful applicants are expected to begin their
research in October 2016 with a scholarship for 36 months. Cottbus is a
city offering various benefits such as inexpensive housing and cost of
living as well as close vicinity to Berlin, Dresden and the recreation
and lake district area "Spreewald". The basic scholarship is 1400
Euros per month. The GRS will also offer additional support for
doctoral students with children. Scholarship holders will have access
to additional funding of the GRS for their doctoral research
(e.g. mobility grants etc.).

*The Project*

The GRS Cluster "Local Production by Smart Value Chains" is funded by
the BTU and involves the Helmholtz Zentrum Geesthacht. Within this
project cluster five scholars work together on current topics in the
field of production and materials engineering, one of them with
special focus on mathematical questions. From a technological point
of view, the cluster focuses on combining classic production processes
of mass production with locally acting manufacturing processes. This
combination opens the possibility for individualizing components and
for localizing production near the end customers, but also for
repairing and maintaining components with minimal cost.

The mathematical research of the cluster aims at the design of
algorithms for the distribution of production steps among the existing
local production facilities. To produce a particular product,
numerous combinations of different individual steps of manufacturing
with many different tools are possible. The task here is the
algorithmic planning of this process design. Based on the properties
of the product and the characteristics of the tools, appropriate
models and algorithms should be designed which are capable of finding
feasible production chains and that are optimized with respect to
processing time, usage of materials, and production costs. In
particular productivity should be increased by utilizing the provided
machinery by parallel production in different process chains.


*Requirements*

You have obtained a university degree (Master's or equivalent) in
mathematics, techno-mathematics or computer science (with strong
background in mathematics or operations research) with very good
success. You have strong basic knowledge in the mathematical work
areas mentioned above and strive to further develop your expertise
towards a PhD degree. You are communicative and a team player. You are
fluent in English, both written and spoken, and preferably have at
least basic knowledge of the German language.


Working language: German or English


Required documents:
− CV
− Certificates and transcripts
− Letter of motivation

http://www.etaps.org/2017/fase).


- Research papers

FASE, FoSSaCS and TACAS have a page limit of 15 pp (excluding
bibliography of max 2 pp) for research papers, whereas POST allows at
most 20 pp (excluding bibliography of max 2 pp) and ESOP 25 pp
(excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).

Additional material intended for the referees but not for publication
in the final version - for example, details of proofs - may be placed
in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page
limit. ETAPS referees are at liberty to ignore appendices and papers
must be understandable without them.

In addition to regular research papers, TACAS solicits also case study
papers (at most 15 pp, excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).

Both TACAS and FASE solicit also regular tool papers (at most 15 pp,
excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).

The rationale of a separate page limit for the bibliography is to
remove the possibility to win space for the body of a
paper by cutting the bibliography, a practise that has a negative
effect on our competitiveness as a community.


- Tool demonstration papers

Submissions should consist of two parts:

* The first part, at most 4 pages, should describe the tool
presented. Please include the URL of the tool (if available) and
provide information that illustrates the maturity and robustness of
the tool. (This part will be included in the proceedings.)

* The second part, at most 6 pages, should explain how the
demonstration will be carried out and what it will show, including
screen dumps and examples. (This part will be not be included in the
proceedings, but will be evaluated.

ESOP and FoSSaCS do not accept tool demonstration papers.

TACAS has a page limit of 6 pages for tool demonstrations.


-- SATELLITE EVENTS (22-23 April, 29 April) --
