Applications are invited for fully-funded Ph.D. positions in the Department of Computer Science at Boston University, within the Theoretical Computer Science group (TCS). The selected candidates will collaborate with Prof. Alina Ene and Prof. Lorenzo Orecchia on algorithms for large-scale convex and combinatorial optimization. Candidates who like algorithmic problem solving and have theoretical computer science/mathematical backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply. More information on TCS at BU can be found here:
http://www.bu.edu/cs/theory/

Boston is a great location for a Ph.D. in Theoretical Computer Science. Thanks to the presence of numerous universities (MIT, Harvard, Northeastern, BU, Tufts, UMass, BC, Brandeis) and research institutions (Microsoft New England, MERL, the medical schools), the city has a critical mass of researchers in TCS and related areas, with numerous possibilities for collaboration and learning. Boston is also a very intellectually stimulating, cosmopolitan, yet livable, compact city. Boston University is located in the heart of Boston, at walking distance from Harvard, MIT, Northeastern and Microsoft Research New England.

The Department of Computer Science prides itself on an open research environment that strongly encourages collaborations, both within BU and with other Boston-area institutions. The Department has a long tradition of producing high-quality research results and its PhD graduates have been successful in finding prestigious academic and industrial positions. To support our students, all accepted PhD students are guaranteed funding for 5 years, as long as they continue to satisfy academic requirements and maintain good academic standing.

We encourage all interested students to submit their application by Dec 15, 2016. Late applications will be considered on a rolling basis while spaces are available. Instructions on how to apply can be found here:
https://www.bu.edu/cs/graduate/admissions/

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Lorenzo Orecchia at orecchia@bu.edu<mailto:orecchia@bu.edu>.

-------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS (DEADLINE EXTENDED) -----------------
5th IEEE International Workshop on Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms (SCPA 2017)
May 21-25, 2017. Paris, France
In conjunction with IEEE ICC 2017
http://scpa.it.ubi.pt/2017/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selected papers will be invited to the Special Issue on Smart Protocols and Algorithms of the International Journal Network Protocols and Algorithms (ISSN: 1943-3581) or to the Special Issue on Recent Advances on Communications and Networking Technology Journal (ISSN: 2215-082X (Online); ISSN: 2215-0811 (Print)).


Communication protocols and algorithms are needed to communicate network devices and exchange data between them. The appearance of new technologies usually comes with a protocol procedure and communication rules that allows data communication while taking profit of this new technology. Recent advances in hardware and communication mediums allow proposing new rules, conventions and data structures which could be used by network devices to communicate across the network. Moreover, devices with higher processing capacity let us include more complex algorithms that can be used by the network device to enhance the communication procedure.
Smart communication protocols and algorithms make use of several methods and techniques (such as machine learning techniques, decision making techniques, knowledge representation, network management, network optimization, problem solution techniques, and so on), to communicate the network devices to transfer data between them. They can be used to perceive the network conditions, or the user behavior, in order to dynamically plan, adapt, decide, take the appropriate actions, and learn from the consequences of its actions. The algorithms can make use of the information gathered from the protocol in order to sense the environment, plan actions according to the input, take consciousness of what is happening in the environment, and take the appropriate decisions using a reasoning engine. Goals such as decide which scenario fits best its end-to-end purpose, or environment prediction, can be achieved with smart protocols and algorithms. Moreover, they could learn from the pas!
t and use this knowledge to improve
future decisions.
In this workshop, researchers are encouraged to submit papers focused on the design, development, analysis or optimization of smart communication protocols or algorithms at any communication layer. Algorithms and protocols based on artificial intelligence techniques for network management, network monitoring, quality of service enhancement, performance optimization and network secure are included in the workshop.
We welcome technical papers presenting analytical research, simulations, practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, and papers addressing the key problems and solutions. The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, deployments, implementations, running experiments and applications.

*** MIXED INTEGER PROGRAMMING WORKSHOP 2017: SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT ***


We are pleased to announce that the 2017 workshop in Mixed Integer
Programming (MIP 2017) will be held June 19–22 at HEC Montréal
(Quebec, Canada). The 2017 Mixed Integer Programming workshop will be
the fourteenth in a series of annual workshops held in North America
designed to bring the integer programming community together to
discuss very recent developments in the field. The workshop consists
of a single track of invited talks and features a poster session that
provides an additional opportunity to share and discuss recent
research in MIP.

All workshop participants are invited to submit a poster abstract
before March 1, 2017. There will be an award for the best poster
presented by a student. To submit an abstract, please email a two page
PDF containing a detailed abstract of the poster to:

mip2017poster@gmail.com

Space for posters is limited; and the submitted poster abstracts will be
used to select the accepted posters. Therefore, it is important that the
abstract provides a good description of the research to be presented. We
expect to send out acceptance notifications around March 15.
