Call for Papers
Special issue of the International Transactions in Operational Research on
"New trends in Variable Neighborhood Search".
The Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) metaheuristic is based on
systematic changes in the neighborhood structure within a search, and has
been succesfully applied for solving various discrete, global optimization
problems, and related tasks. This Call for Papers addresses the recently
growing interest of the research community working on the VNS methodology.
Our call of this special issue of the International Transactions in
Operational Research (ITOR) invites submissions on theoretical,
methodological or applied aspects of the VNS metaheuristic method. The
objective of this special issue is to present recent advances in the VNS
methodology and novel applications in industrial optimization problems,
informatics, engineering, etc. This special issue is also linked to the
4th International Conference on Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS'16),
which was held in Malaga, Spain, October 3-5, 2016.
The deadline for submission is January 15, 2017. Although we strongly
encourage authors who attended VNS'16 conference to submit their
manuscripts, this Call for Papers is also open to the entire community of
academics and practitioners.
Each paper will be peer-reviewed according to the editorial policy of ITOR
(http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118505725/home), published by
the International Federation of Operational Research Societies –
IFORS. Papers should be original, unpublished, and not currently under
consideration for publication elsewhere. They should be prepared according
to the instructions to authors that can be found in the journal homepage.
Authors should upload their contributions using the submission site
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/itor, indicating in their cover letter
that the paper is intended for this special issue. Other inquiries should
be sent directly to any of the Guest Editors in charge of this issue:
Nenad Mladenovic (nenad@mi.sanu.ac.rs), Angelo Sifaleras
(sifalera@uom.gr), and Kenneth Sorensen (kenneth.sorensen@uantwerpen.be).
Guest Editors:
Nenad Mladenovic, Mathematical Institute, Serbia
Angelo Sifaleras, University of Macedonia, Greece
Kenneth Sorensen, University of Antwerp, Belgium

Call for Submissions: ACM SIGAI Student Essay Contest on the Responsible
Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technologies!
Do you have an opinion on the responsible use of AI technologies?
Do you want to win one of several $500 cash prizes?
Do you want to talk one-on-one (via skype) to one of the following AI
researchers:
* Murray Campbell (Senior Manager, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center)
* Eric Horvitz (Managing Director, Microsoft Research)
* Peter Norvig (Director of Research, Google)
* Stuart Russell (Professor, University of California at Berkeley) or
* Michael Wooldridge (Head of the CS Department, University of Oxford)?
Read on!
We are happy to announce the ACM SIGAI Student Essay Contest on the
Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technologies.
An increasing number of AI technologies now affect our lives (or soon
will), from intelligent assistants to self-driving cars. As a result, AI
technologies are often in the news and a number of organizations (including
the U.S. government) are trying to ensure that AI technologies are being
used for the maximum benefit of society. As with all potentially
transformative technologies (such as the automobile and the transistor),
there is some uncertainty about exactly how the future will look like and
how it should best be shaped to harness the power of AI technologies while
avoiding any drawbacks or misuses. ACM SIGAI is in a unique position to
shape the conversation around these issues.
ACM SIGAI is interested in obtaining input from students worldwide to help
shape this debate. We therefore invite all student members to enter an
essay in the ACM SIGAI Student Essay Contest, to be published in the ACM
SIGAI newsletter "AI Matters," answering the following questions while
providing supporting evidence:
What do you see as the 1-2 most pressing ethical, social or regulatory
issues with respect to AI technologies? What position or steps can
governments, industries or organizations (including ACM SIGAI) take to
address these issues or shape the discussions on them?
The ACM SIGAI Student Essay Contest is open to all ACM SIGAI student
members at the time of submission. (If you are a student but not an ACM
SIGAI member, you can join ACM SIGAI before submission for just USD 11,
even if you are not an ACM member.) The deadline for submissions is March
1, 2017.
Please find all details in the ACM SIGAI AI Matters blog
<https://sigai.acm.org/aimatters/blog/2016/12/04/essaycontest/> (
https://sigai.acm.org/aimatters/blog/2016/12/04/essaycontest/).
Please also help us out by distributing this email to students who might be
interested in participating.
Thanks

INTRODUCTION
=============
The biennial International Conference on Cybernetics (CYBCONF) provides a premier international forum for researchers and practitioners to report the latest innovations, summarize the state-of-the-art, and exchange ideas and advances in all aspects of Cybernetics. Apart of the main track it includes special sessions and plenary talks by invited eminent speakers.
CYBCONF-2017 is organized by University of Exeter, sponsored by IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMC), and supported by IEEE SMC Technical Committees on Cybermatics for Cyber-enabled Worlds, Awareness Computing, Intelligent Industrial Systems; and Distributed Intelligent Systems.
