IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline: February 8, 2017
Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2017
Final versions: March 22, 2017
Submission deadline for exploratory papers: May 3, 2017
Notification of acceptance for exploratory papers: May 10, 2017
AUTOMATA 2017: June 7-9, 2017


PAPER CATEGORIES

There are two categories of submission - full papers and exploratory
papers. Full papers are meant to report more complete and denser research,
while the later submission deadline for exploratory papers allows quick
reporting of recent discoveries, work-in-progress and/or partial
results. Submissions in the full paper category are refereed and
selected by the program committee. Papers in the exploratory category
go through a less rigorous evaluation process. All accepted papers must
be presented at the conference.

Call for Abstracts

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

Submission of Abstracts: ***OPEN***

Abstracts for contributed talks should be prepared using the LaTeX template
found on: http://www.um.edu.mt/events/2mcgtc2017/contributedTalks.html. Both
the TEX and the PDF files should be submitted by e-mail on
2mcgtc2017@um.edu.mt. The closing date for the submission of abstracts is 28
February 2017. Acceptance depends on the reviewers' feedback and will be
communicated to the author within a month from the submission date.

Early-Bird Package: ***Registrations are open!***

A limited number of Early-Bird Packages is available on a first-come
first-served basis. The registration form can be found on:
http://www.um.edu.mt/events/2mcgtc2017/registration.html

This package includes the accommodation on bed-and-breakfast at the
Conference venue, the 4-star db San Antonio Hotel+Spa, at a very
advantageous price. The organisers encourage the participants to reserve
their Early-Bird Package as early as possible. This offer will be available
until all such Packages on offer last or until 15 February 2017, whichever
is the earliest. After this, participants would need to make their own
accommodation arrangements.

Student support:

A limited number of students will be supported and can apply for the Special
Students Rate as part of the Early-Bird Registration. To qualify for the
special Student Rate, you need to provide official evidence of your
studentship from your institution on a stamped letterhead.

Postdoc in Container Terminal Optimization
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Department of Management Engineering invites applications for a position as Postdoc in Operations Research with a focus on Container Terminal Optimizaiton.

The Department is looking for a flexible and enthusiastic candidate, who is willing to be a part of a pilot research project on how operation research techniques can be used to boost collaboration between container carriers and container terminals. We are interested in optimizing the ship handling operations by exploiting synergies between the container vessel stowage plan and the scheduling of the cranes in a container terminal. The project is to be run in collaboration with APM Terminals in Aarhus, which will be providing data and details about the current planning practices.

The postdoc appointment is of the total of 1 year from the starting date. Being a pilot project, the candidate will also have the possibility of participating on the writing of the next funding application, and eventually on the execution of the defined project.

Responsibilities and tasks
-------------------------------------
The applicant will be responsible of the development of optimisation models and/or algorithms for the ship loading problem. An integrated container to transport vehicle assignment and scheduling problem.

There will be possibilities to contribute with lectures to the teaching within the area.

Qualifications
-------------------------------------
Candidates should have a PhD degree or equivalent. A good knowledge of operations research techniques including: mathematical modelling, heuristics, metaheuristics and matheuristics. The applicant should also be able to program in an efficient programming language such as Java or C++.

This is a preannouncement that the Theoretical Computer Science Group
at KTH Royal Institute of Technology will again arrange the Swedish
Summer School in Computer Science (S3CS) during the latter half of
July next year.

The 4th edition of S3CS will focus on circuit complexity --- one of
the truly classic areas in theoretical computer science, which has
seen an exciting revival in the last few years. We are very happy to
announce that our speakers are two of the key players behind this
revival, namely Benjamin Rossman (http://www.math.toronto.edu/rossman/)
and Ryan Williams (http://web.stanford.edu/~rrwill/).

S3CS 2017 will again be held at the beautiful venue Djurönäset in the
Stockholm archipelago. A formal call for participation with more
detailed information will follow in early 2017, but for now you can
make note of the following timeline:
- Mid-March: Application deadline
- Mid-April: Notification
- Sun July 16: Arrival
- Mon July 17 -- Fri July 21: Lectures
- Sat July 22: Departure

With best regards,
Jakob Nordstrom
