CALL FOR PAPERS
Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE) Track @ Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) 2017
http://gecco-2017.sigevo.org

Dear Colleague,

We invite you to contribute high quality papers to the Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE) track of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2017). After a few years as part of a combined track, SBSE is once again the subject of its own dedicated track at GECCO and thus we welcome your support for the track in this new form. Note also this year GECCO invites shorter "poster-only" papers in addition to full-length technical papers; see: http://gecco-2017.sigevo.org/index.html/Papers for details.

KEY INFORMATION

Paper Submission: 6 February 2017 (non-extensible; abstracts by 30 January)

Conference: 15-19 July 2017, Berlin, Germany

Track Details: http://gecco-2017.sigevo.org/index.html/Program+Tracks#id_SBSE%20-%20Search-Based%20Software%20Engineering

Paper Submission Details: http://gecco-2017.sigevo.org/index.html/Papers

SBSE TRACK DESCRIPTION
Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE) is the application of search algorithms to the solution of software engineering tasks. Evolutionary computation is a foundation of SBSE, and since 2002 the SBSE track at GECCO has provided an opportunity to present SBSE research to the evolutionary computation community, and for SBSE to be informed by advances in evolutionary computation.
We invite papers that address problems in the software engineering domain through the use of heuristic search techniques. We particularly encourage papers demonstrating novel search strategies or the application of SBSE techniques to new problems in software engineering. Papers may also address the use of methods and techniques for improving the applicability and efficacy of search-based techniques when applied to software engineering problems. While empirical results are important, papers that do not contain results - but instead present new approaches, concepts, or theory - are also very welcome.

SCOPE
As an indication of the wide scope of the field, search techniques include, but are not limited to:
Ant Colony Optimization, Automatic Algorithm configuration and Parameter Tuning, Estimation of Distribution Algorithms,
Evolutionary Computation, Hybrid and Memetic Algorithms, Hyper-heuristics, Iterated Local Search,
Particle Swarm Optimization, Simulated Annealing, Tabu Search, Variable Neighbourhood Search.

The software engineering tasks to which they are applied are drawn from throughout the engineering lifecycle and include, but are not limited to:
Automated Software Design and Hyper-Heuristics
Automatic Algorithm Selection and Configuration
Configuring Cloud-Based Architectures
Creating Recommendation Systems to Support Software Development
Developing Dynamic Service-Oriented Systems
Enabling Self-Configuring/Self-Healing/Self-Optimizing Systems
Network Design and Monitoring
Optimizing Functional and Non-Functional Software Properties (Genetic Improvement)
Predictive Modelling for Software Engineering Tasks
Project Management and Organization
Regression Test Optimization
Requirements Engineering
Software Maintenance, Program Repair, Refactoring and Transformation
Software Security
System and Software Integration
Test Data Generation

REVIEW PROCESS
Each paper submitted to the track will be rigorously evaluated in a double-blind review process. Paper evaluation at GECCO occurs 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, if applicable. All accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

Yours,
Federica Sarro (f.sarro@ucl.ac.uk<mailto:f.sarro@ucl.ac.uk>), Senior Research Associate, CREST, University College London, United Kingdom
and
Simon Poulding (simon.poulding@bth.se<mailto:simon.poulding@bth.se>), Assistant Professor, SERL, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden

GECCO is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation (ACM SIGEVO).

2 PhD/Postdoc positions
University of Bremen, Germany

Two Phd and/or Postdoc positions in combinatorial optimization are
available in the group of Prof. Nicole Megow at the University of Bremen
in the department of mathematics and computer science. The group's
research focus is on combinatorial optimization, efficient algorithms,
approximation algorithms, scheduling, network design and algorithms,
optimization under uncertainty such as online, stochastic, and robust
optimization, and their application in practice.

Candidates should have an excellent academic degree in mathematics,
theoretical computer science or a related area, and must have good
knowledge in combinatorial optimization and algorithm theory. A
background in some of the other above-mentioned topics is desirable.
Good communication skills and solid English writing skills are
necessary. In addition, the successful candidate will be highly
self-motivated, passionate about his/her work, and have good ability to
work both independently as well as in a team.

Both positions are full-time positions, involve teaching, and they are
paid according to the Federal German Payment scale TV-L 13.

Applications will be reviewed starting from January 15, 2017, until the
position is filled. The envisioned starting date is as soon as possible
but may be negotiable.

Please send your application (including cover/motivation letter,
curriculum vitae, list of publications, and the names and contact
information of at least two references) to the address below. Electronic
submissions are highly encouraged (please attach relevant documents as
*a single pdf*).

Call for Papers

16th International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2017)

June 21-23, 2017, London, United Kingdom

http://www.dcs.kcl.ac.uk/events/SEA2017/

*******************************************************************************

SEA (Symposium on Experimental Algorithms), previously known as WEA
(Workshop on Experimental Algorithms), is an international forum for
researchers in the area of design, analysis, and experimental evaluation
and engineering of algorithms, as well as in various aspects of
computational optimization and its applications. The preceding symposia
were held in Riga, Monte Verità, Rio de Janeiro, Santorini, Menorca Island,
Rome, Cape Cod, Dortmund, Ischia Island, Crete, Bordeaux, Rome, Copenhagen,
Paris, and St. Petersburg.

SEA aims to attract papers from both the CS and the OR/Mathematical
Programming communities.

The main theme of the symposium is the role of experimentation and
of algorithm engineering techniques in the design and evaluation of
algorithms and data structures. Submissions should present significant
contributions supported by experimental evaluation, methodological
issues in the design and interpretation of experiments, the use of
(meta-) heuristics, or application-driven case studies that deepen
the understanding of the complexity of a problem.

In 2017 the proceedings of SEA will be published for the first time
in the Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs)
open-access series.

ICFCA 2017

14th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis

June 12—16, 2017, Rennes, France

Web: <http://icfca2017.irisa.fr/>
Mail: icfca2017@inria.fr

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

* Overview

Formal Concept Analysis emerged in the 1980's from attempts to restructure
lattice theory in order to promote better communication between lattice
theorists and potential users of lattice theory. Since its early years, Formal
Concept Analysis has developed into a research field in its own right with a
thriving theoretical community and a rapidly expanding range of applications in
information and knowledge processing including visualization, data analysis
(mining) and knowledge management and discovery.

The ICFCA conference series aims at bringing together researchers and
practitioners working on theoretical or applied aspects of Formal Concept
Analysis within major related areas such as Mathematics and Computer and
Information Sciences and their diverse applications to fields like Software
Engineering, Linguistics, Life and Social Sciences, etc.

All accepted submissions will be refereed, and the conference proceedings will
be published by Springer in the LNCS/LNAI series.

* Topics

Main topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

** Fundamental aspects of FCA

- FCA theory
- Lattice theory
- Lattice drawing
- Philosophical foundations
- Algorithms and complexity theory

** Bridging FCA to information sciences and artificial intelligence
