We have just posted an advert for a postdoc position in "Network
Optimization
and Energy Applications"
(https://jobszp1.lanl.gov:443/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=IRC_VIS_VAC_DISPLAY&OAMC=R&p_svid=53566&p_spid=2434275&p_lang_code=US).

We seek someone with a background in OR/network optimization, that can
code, could develop a heuristic or other efficient solutions for network
problems, and has a background or interest in energy application such as
CO2
capture and storage (CCS). The chosen candidate would be involved in
several
exciting projects including applications in both in the United States
and China.
Los Alamos National laboratory (LANL) is a great place to work, the
salary is
competitive, and New Mexico is a special place to live.

Special Track Game AI at IEA/AIE 2017, June 27-30, 2017 Arras (near
Paris, France)


Context

Among numerous possibles applications of Artificial Intelligence, games
are convenient and efficient testbeds to develop innovating techniques
and methods. By games, we mean every game playable through a computer:
video games, board games, serious games, etc.

Behind the fun side, games propose a simplified environment regarding to
the real world, while remaining rich enough to also propose
scientifically pertinent problems: understanding of a dynamic
environment, knowledge extraction, decision-making upon incomplete
information, planning, cooperation, learning or mimicking credible
behaviors, optimization, path-finding, etc.

Many of these problems are common to others research fields such as
robotics, but games offer a greater flexibility: thanks to their
dematerialized nature, these environments are inexpensive,
transportable, need no physical maintenance and propose a highly
controllable time flow (accelerated, paused, etc).


Scope

Topics of interest for this special track on Game AI include, but are
not limited to:

* Planning;
* Decision-making in a dynamic and/or incomplete information environment;
* Data-mining;
* CSP/SAT, combinatorial optimization;
* Cooperative or competitive multi-agent systems;
* Game rules and/or behaviors learning;
* Spacial and temporal reasoning;
* Credible behaviors (emotion, personality), player immersion;
* Storytelling generation;
* User experience;
* Path-finding;
* Game play programming;
* Engine programming;
* Serious games/applications, Game with A Purpose (GWAP).

present the latest high-quality results in genetic and evolutionary
computation. Topics include: genetic algorithms, genetic programming,
evolution strategies, evolutionary programming, memetic algorithms,
hyper heuristics, real-world applications, evolutionary machine
learning, evolvable hardware, artificial life, adaptive behavior, ant
colony optimization, swarm intelligence, biological applications,
evolutionary robotics, coevolution, artificial immune systems, and more.

The GECCO 2017 Program Committee invites the submission of technical

that the submission system will be online from November, 14 on the
official site.

Each paper submitted to GECCO will be rigorously evaluated in a
double-blind review process. The evaluation is on a per-track basis,
ensuring high interest and expertise of the reviewers. Review criteria
include significance of the work, technical soundness, novelty, clarity,
writing quality, and sufficiency of information to permit replication,

interest to the GECCO community.

By submitting a paper, the author(s) agree that, if their paper is
accepted, they will:

- Submit a final, revised, camera-ready version to the publisher on or
before the camera ready deadline
- Register at least one author to attend the conference on or before
the advance registration deadline
- Attend the conference (at least one author)
- Present the accepted paper at the conference
