CPAIOR 2017, Call for Papers
Padova, June 5-8 2017
http://cpaior2017.dei.unipd.it/
=============================================
General Information
-------------------
The Fourteenth International Conference on Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research Techniques in Constraint Programming will be held in Padova, Italy, June 5 - 8, 2017, with a Master Class on "Computation Techniques for Combinatorial Optimization" on June 5, and the Main Conference on June 6 - 8, 2017.
The aim of the conference is to bring together interested researchers from Constraint Programming (CP), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Operations Research (OR) to present new techniques or applications in combinatorial optimization and to provide an opportunity for researchers in one area to learn about techniques in the others.
A main objective of this conference series is also to give these researchers the opportunity to show how the integration of techniques from different fields can lead to interesting results on large and complex problems.
Therefore papers that actively combine, integrate, or contrast approaches from more than one of the areas are especially solicited. High quality papers from a single area are also welcome, provided that they are of interest to other communities involved. Application papers showcasing CP/AI/OR techniques on novel and challenging applications or experience reports on such applications are strongly encouraged.
The program committee invites submissions that include but are not limited to the following topics:
* Inference and relaxation methods: constraint propagation, cutting planes, global constraints, graph algorithms, dynamic programming, Lagrangian and convex relaxations, heuristic functions based on relaxations.
* Search methods: branch and bound, intelligent backtracking, incomplete search, randomized search, portfolios, column generation, Benders decomposition or any other decomposition methods, local search and metaheuristics
* Integration of machine learning and optimization: learning-based search and heuristics, use of predictive models in optimization, constraint acquisition, optimization for training machine learning models
* Integration methods: solver communication, model transformations and solver selection, parallel and distributed resolution techniques, models, and solvers.
* Modeling methods: comparison of models, symmetry breaking, uncertainty, dominance relationships.
* Innovative Applications of CP/AI/OR techniques.
* Implementation of CP/AI/OR techniques and optimization systems.
More information is available on the conference web site: http://cpaior2017.dei.unipd.it/

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
Applications are invited for a postdoc position in algorithms within the
groups
headed by Anupam Gupta at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Kirk Pruhs
at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt). An ideal applicant would have
some background
in approximation algorithms, online algorithms, and/or algorithms for
resource
management. The postdoc would conduct research in these areas, with a
particular
emphasis on applications involving resource management in new
information technologies,
in close collaboration with professors Gupta and Pruhs, and students in
their groups.
The postdoc would have an appointment and a desk/office within both the
Computer
Science departments at CMU and Pitt. The postdoc would split his/her
time between
these two offices. The CMU and Pitt campuses abut, and it is about a 10
minute
walk between the computer science departmental buildings.
The duration of the position is between 10 to 12 months. The earliest
possible start date is
January 2017, and the latest possible start date is the start of the
2017 - 2018 academic year.
The salary will be $3956.33 per month. The position is not renewable.
Pittsburgh has won many awards as the most livable city in the USA
(see http://www.visitpittsburgh.com/media/press-kit/pittsburgh-rankings/)
and last year Zagats' ranked Pittsburgh as the top food city in the USA
(https://www.zagat.com/b/the-top-17-food-cities-of-2015#17)
Pittsburgh combines the advantages of a big city with a relatively low
cost of living
(see
http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/city_result.jsp?country=United+States&city=Pittsburgh%2C+PA)
The universities are near the center of the city, and are (by US
standards) well connected to the rest
of the city by mass transit.
Questions and/or application materials should be emailed to
Anupam Gupta at <anupamg@cs.cmu.edu> and Kirk Pruhs at <kirk@cs.pitt.edu>
with a subject heading of "Postdoc Application".
The application material should include
(1) a short cover letter describing the applicant's interest in the
position,
(2) a CV that includes a list of publications,
(3) a short research summary, and
(4) the names and contact information of at least three references.
We will start evaluating applications some time soon after October 1,
and will continue accepting applications until the position is filled.

SCOPE AND TOPICS
The goal of the International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE) is to integrate theory and practice in the field of performance engineering by providing a forum for sharing ideas and experiences between industry and academia. Nowadays, complex systems of all types, like Web-based systems, data centers and cloud infrastructures, social networks, peer-to-peer, mobile and wireless systems, cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, real-time and embedded systems, have increasingly distributed and dynamic system architectures that provide high flexibility, however, also increase the complexity of managing end-to-end application performance.
ICPE brings together researchers and industry practitioners to share and present their experiences, discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research on performance engineering of software and systems, including performance measurement, modeling, benchmark design, and run-time performance management. The focus is both on classical metrics such as response time, throughput, resource utilization, and (energy) efficiency, as well as on the relationship of such metrics to other system properties including but not limited to scalability, elasticity, availability, reliability, and security.
This year's main theme is cost-effective performance engineering, where cost has a wide interpretation including measures such as effort and energy in addition to traditional performance measures.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Performance modeling of software

being considered in another forum. A variety of contribution styles for
papers are solicited including: basic and applied research papers for
novel scientific insights, industrial and experience papers reporting on
applying performance engineering or benchmarks in practice, and
work-in-progress/vision papers for ongoing but yet interesting work.
Different acceptance criteria apply based on the expected content of the
individual contribution types.
Authors will be requested to self-classify their papers according to
topic and contribution style when submitting their papers.
Submissions to all tracks need to be uploaded to ICPE's submission system
and conform to the ACM submission format. For detailed submission
instructions, please visit: https://icpe2017.spec.org/submissions.html.
At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register at
the full rate, attend the conference and present the paper. Presented
papers will be published in the ICPE 2017 conference proceedings that
will be published by ACM and included in the ACM Digital Library. After
the conference, there will be a call for a special issue of a journal.
AUTHORS TAKE NOTE: The official publication date is the date the proceedings
are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks
prior to the first day of your conference. The official publication date affects
the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.
(For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital
Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the
first day of the conference.)
