interest of several research communities. The main aim of the workshop is
to bring together researchers in concurrency theory, formal methods, and
related fields that are interested to present recent results and to
discuss new ideas concerning such formalisms, their properties and
relationships. We welcome contributions that address both theoretical and
applied contributions related to the relevance and potential of formal
methods in biology. Topics of interest include (but not limited to):

- Biologically inspired models and calculi (rewrite systems, process
calculi, Petri nets, etc.);
- Theoretical links and comparison of different biological inspired formal
models;
- Qualitative biological modeling;
- Quantitative formal methods;
- Modelling, analysis and simulation tools for biologically inspired systems.

The workshop proceedings will be published in the Electronic Proceedings
in Theoretical Computer Science. After the event, papers presented at the
workshop will be invited to be furtherly extended and submitted to a
special issue of a visible journal (indexed by DBLP, SCOPUS, Web of
Science, etc)

================================================================
PAST EVENTS

The first edition of MeCBIC was held in Venice in 2006 (co-located with
ICALP 2006). The second MeCBIC was held in Iasi in 2008, the third one
took place in Bologna (as a satellite event of CONCUR 2009), the forth one
in Jena, the fifth in Paris and the sixth in Newcastle. The previous
proceedings of the MeCBIC workshops have been published as ENTCS volumes
171(2) and 227 (2006 and 2008), EPTCS volumes 11, 40 and 100 (2009, 2010
and 2012), in arXiv.org in 2011. A selection of revised papers from 2008,
2009 and 2009 appeared in Theoretical Computer Science volume 431 in 2012.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to: multivariate analysis
of reasoning problems, kernelization and preprocessing, fixed-parameter
tractability and hardness, backdoors and decompositions.

The workshop will feature invited and contributed talks with surveys and
new technical results, an open problem session, and a panel discussion on
future research directions. Apart from talks on parameterized complexity
we are also interested in presentations that highlight structural
parameters that have not been studied within the framework of
parameterized complexity so far.

*Invited speakers*

non-archival FLoC/VSL 2014 proceedings which will be distributed to all
FLoc/VSL 2014 participants on a USB drive. The abstract and talk can be
based on published and unpublished results, and we welcome overview and
survey talks, besides regular technical talks. Contributed talks are
expected to be around 30 minutes each.

See you at PCCR 2014,
Michael R. Fellows, Serge Gaspers, and Toby Walsh (organisers)

WORKSHOP ON LOGIC AND SEARCH - LaSh 2014
Representing and Solving Computational Search Problems

Final Call For Submissions

With Revised Submission Deadline (May 15), Final PC, Confirmed Speakers

Vienna, Austria, July 18, 2014
http://vsl2014.at/lash/

A FLoC 2014 Workshop, Associated with SAT and ICLP

OVERVIEW

The purpose of the LaSh workshops is to foster scientific exchange on
subjects related to languages for representing, and methods for solving,
computationally challenging search problems. The scope includes study of
relevant logics, algorithms, and logic-based systems, and also study of
other languages and systems from the viewpoint of logic, broadly construed.

Hard combinatorial search and optimization problems abound in science,
engineering, and other areas. Examples include planning, scheduling and
configuration problems. Several communities have developed general purpose
solving technologies for such problems, supported by declarative modelling
or specification languages. These include answer set programming (ASP)
from knowledge representation (KR), constraint solvers and modelling languages
from constraint programming (CP), and integer linear programming (ILP) solvers
and algebraic modelling languages from mathematical programming. Other
relevant areas include propositional satisfiability (SAT), satisfiability
modulo theories (SMT), and representation languages based on classical
logic and FO(ID).

Differences in emphasis notwithstanding, these share the same purpose.
Indeed, there are many similarities in solving technologies, and increasing
exchange between the areas both in solving and representational issues.
>From a logical point of view, whether a given language or system is
described in logical terms or not, we have languages which define some
class of structures, and systems whose purpose is to compute structures
in the class. Logic may be seen as an explicit basis for building systems,
as an analytic tool, or as a formal approach to viewing the diversity of
systems more uniformly.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Logics relevant to the study of search and optimization problems
- Languages for specifying or modelling search or optimization problems
- Reasoning about or with specifications of search problems
- Grounding and related language transformation methods
- Expressiveness and complexity of logics and languages
- Ground Solvers and their languages: SAT, ASP, SMT, FlatZinc, etc.
- New or extended ground solver languages: SAT+Cardinality, SAT+TC, etc.
- Design of systems, solvers, and related tools
- Approximation, tractable problem classes, etc.
- Proof systems and inference methods underlying solvers.
- Comparisons of different languages or methods
- Interesting applications, either as case studies or challenges
- Benchmark problems and instance collections

* Acceptance Notification: July 11, 2014
* Camera Ready Version: August 14, 2014

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

Scope: Organizations are increasingly concerned about the privacy of
information that they manage (several people have filed lawsuits
against organizations violating the privacy of customer's data). Thus,
the management of privacy-sensitive information is very critical and
important for every organization. This poses several challenging
problems, such as how to translate the high-level business goals into
system-level privacy policies, administration of privacy-sensitive
data, privacy data integration and engineering, privacy access control
mechanisms, information-oriented security, and query execution on
privacy-sensitive data for partial answers.

Topics: The aim of this workshop is to discuss and exchange the ideas
related to privacy data management. We invite papers from researchers
and practitioners working in privacy, security, trustworthy data
systems and related areas to submit their original papers in this
workshop. The main topics, but not limited to, include:

* Privacy Information Management
* Privacy Policy-based Infrastructures and Architectures
* Privacy-oriented Access Control Languages and Models
* Privacy in Trust Management
* Privacy in Digital Currencies
* Privacy Data Integration
* Privacy Risk Assessment and Assurance
* Privacy Services
* Cryptography and Cryptanalysis
* Privacy Policy Analysis
* Query Execution over Privacy Sensitive Data
* Privacy Preserving Data Mining
* Hippocratic and Water-marking Databases
* Privacy for Integrity-based Computing
* Privacy Monitoring and Auditing
* Privacy in Social Networks
* Privacy in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) Applications
* Individual Privacy vs. Corporate/National Security
* Privacy in computer networks
* Privacy and RFIDs
* Privacy and Big Data
* Privacy in sensor networks

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

Submission guidelines: Papers should be at most 15 pages (using
11-point font), excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices.
Committee members are not required to read the appendices, so the
paper should be intelligible without them. All submissions must be
written in English.

Authors must submit their papers by the deadline indicated below,
using the EasyChair web site (at easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dpm2014)
and following the requirements stated there.

The submitted paper (in PDF format) should follow the template
indicated by Springer (see http://springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
It must start with a title, a short abstract, names and affiliations
of the authors, and a list of keywords.

All papers will be refereed. Accepted papers should be presented at
the Workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must register
to the workshop, by the early date indicated by the organizers, and
present the paper.

The proceedings will be published in a volume of Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (Springer-Verlag).

Submissions by PhD students as well as controversial ideas are
encouraged. Case studies (successful or not) are also encouraged.

It is expected that extended and revised version of the best papers
from the workshop will be considered for international journal special

2nd Call for papers
16th International Symposium on
Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming
PPDP 2014

Canterbury, Kent, September 8-10, 2014
(co-located with LOPSTR 2014)

http://users-cs.au.dk/danvy/ppdp14/

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

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 15 MAY, 2014

PPDP 2014 is a forum that brings together researchers from the
declaratrive programming communities, including those working in the
logic, constraint and functional programming paradigms, but also
embracing languages, database languages, and knowledge representation
languages. The goal is to stimulate research in the use of logical
formalisms and methods for specifying, performing, and analyzing
computations, including mechanisms for mobility, modularity,
concurrency, object-orientation, security, verification and static
analysis. Papers related to the use of declarative paradigms and tools
in industry and education are especially solicited. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to

* Functional programming
* Logic programming
* Answer-set programming
* Functional-logic programming
* Declarative visual languages
* Constraint Handling Rules
* Parallel implementation and concurrency
* Monads, type classes and dependent type systems
* Declarative domain-specific languages
* Termination, resource analysis and the verification of declarative
programs
* Transformation and partial evaluation of declarative languages
* Language extensions for security and tabulation
* Probabilistic modeling in a declarative language and modeling reactivity
* Memory management and the implementation of declarative systems
* Practical experiences and industrial application

This year the conference will be co-located with the 24th
International Symposium on Logic-Based Program Synthesis and
Transformation (LOPSTR 2014).

The conference will be held in Canterbury, UK. Previous symposia were
held at Madrid (Spain), Leuven (Belgium), Odense (Denmark), Hagenberg
(Austria), Coimbra (Portugal), Valencia (Spain), Wroclaw (Poland),
Venice (Italy), Lisboa (Portugal), Verona (Italy), Uppsala (Sweden),
Pittsburgh (USA), Florence (Italy), Montreal (Canada), and Paris
(France). You might have a look at the contents of past PPDP symposia.

Papers must describe original work, be written and presented in
English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal,
conference, or workshop with refereed proceedings. Work that already
appeared in unpublished or informally published workshop proceedings
may be submitted (please contact the PC chair in case of
questions). The proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital
Library.

After the symposium, a selection of the best papers will be invited to
extend their submissions in the light of the feedback solicited at the
symposium. The papers are expected to include at least 30% extra
material over and above the PPDP version. Then, after another round of
reviewing, these revised papers will be published in a journal.

Important Dates

Abstract Submission: 12 May, 2014
Paper submission: 15 May, 2014

Authors should submit an electronic copy of the full paper in
PDF. Papers should be submitted to the submission website for PPDP
2014. Each submission must include on its first page the paper title;
authors and their affiliations; abstract; and three to four
keywords. The keywords will be used to assist the program committee in
selecting appropriate reviewers for the paper. Papers should consist
of the equivalent of 12 pages under the ACM formatting
guidelines. These guidelines are available online, along with
formatting templates or style files. Submitted papers will be judged
on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and
clarity. They should include a clear identification of what has been
accomplished and why it is significant. Authors who wish to provide
additional material to the reviewers beyond the 12-page limit can do
so in clearly marked appendices: reviewers are not required to read
such appendices.

Topic:
Interdependent Networks: Structure, Dynamics and Evolution
Not only are our interactions limited and thus best described not by
well-mixed models but rather by models entailing networks, it is also a fact
that these networks are often interconnected and indeed very much
interdependent. From the World economy to Google Circles, it is clear that
processes taking place in one network might affect what is happening in many
other networks. Within an interdependent system, each type of interaction
has certain relevance or meaning, so that treating all the links identically
inevitably leads to information loss. Interdependent or multiplex networks
are therefore a much better description of such systems, and this Special
Issue is devoted to their structure, dynamics and evolution, as well as to
the study of emergent properties in multi-layered systems in general. Topics
of interest include but are not limited to the spread of epidemics and
information, synchronization, diffusion, random walks, collective behavior
and evolutionary games on interdependent networks.

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS:

PODC Workshop on Distributed Software-Defined Networks (DSDN)

http://www.podc.org/podc2014/dsdn14/

July 15, 2014
Paris, France

NEWS

-????????? Confirmed Invited Speakers: Nate Foster (Cornell University,
USA), Marco Canini (UC Louvain, Belgium), Yehuda Afek (TAU, Israel)


OVERVIEW

The Workshop on Distributed Software-Defined Networks (DSDN) is a forum to
discuss new algorithmic and distributed computing challenges offered by the
emerging field of
Software Defined Networking (SDN). SDN abstracts the cumbersome task of
computer network management to a distinct control plane with a standard
programming interface.
Distributed implementations of the control plane give rise to new and
interesting concurrency scenarios to be addressed by the distributed
computing community.

DETAILS

The workshop is going to take place on 15 July in Paris, France, co-located
with PODC 2014.

The program will combine peer-reviewed presentations (around 30min) with
invited talks (between 30 and 60 min), both from researchers in the field of
distributed
computing as well as from researchers in the field of networking. As such,
the goal of the DSDN workshop is to provide a forum where the distributed
computing and
networking communities can meet and learn from their respective fields.

SUBMISSIONS

Submissions (in PDF) are done by email to
petr.kuznetsov@telecom-paristech.fr and stefan.schmid@tu-berlin.de, and
should briefly (in 1-2 pages)? describe the content of
the presentation. The abstracts will appear on the DSDN website, but will
not be included in the PODC proceedings.

The presentations can report on and summarize previous work, present early
new results or put forward new and outrageous ideas.

SCHEDULE

? Submission deadline: May 30, 2014

Attention! Only few slots still available! Due to various requests, even though the deadline for registration and abstract submission has already passed, we will fill additional slots on a first-come, first-serve basis. So if you are interested to attend our meeting or if you know someone who might be, please spread the word!!!


I herewith want to announce the 1st Greifswald Phylogenetics Meeting,
which will be held in Greifswald (north eastern Germany) from the 14th
till the 16th of July 2014.

Registration is now open and the deadline (both for registration as well as for abstract submission) has been postponed due to various requests. There are still a few free slots, so please register asap!

Our conference poster can be found here: http://stubber.math-inf.uni-greifswald.de/~spillner/gpm-2014/poster-gpm-2014.pdf Feel free to print it and forward it to anybody who might be interested! For more details, please visit the conference website:
http://stubber.math-inf.uni-greifswald.de/~spillner/gpm-2014/gpm-2014.html


This meeting will have a particular focus on mathematical (e.g. graph
theoretical, combinatorial, probabilistic and algebraic) aspects of
evolutionary tree or network reconstruction, but it will also bring
together scientists from different disciplines in order to provide the
opportunity of close collaboration.

Scope:

Phylogenetics is an interdisciplinary research area that aims at
reconstructing the evolutionary history of biological systems such
as, for example, collections of species, populations or groups of
bio-molecules. To achieve this, biologists work closely together with
mathematicians and computer scientists. The conference will provide
researchers from all three involved disciplines an opportunity to present
their recent work and exchange ideas.

Location: Greifswald is a beautiful little town located directly at
the Baltic Sea in close proximity to the famous islands R?gen and
Usedom. Greifswald university was founded in 1496 and has therefore a
long tradition and history. Being a former Hanse town, Greifswald is
famous for its historic market square, its cathedral and the museum
harbor. Other famous towns like Stralsund with the Oceaneum or the
world cultural heritage city of Wismar are nearby, as well as the
city of Rostock with its newly established Darwineum. The region is a
holiday region but not too crowded by tourists. In July the weather is
most likely to be great and we hope that if you can come to our meeting,
you will find the time to stay longer and enjoy this unique area. There
is a direct and regular train connection to and from Berlin, and the
nearest international airports are Hamburg and Berlin.

Please note that the meeting starts early on the 14th with one of our
highlight talks and ends in the evening of the 16th with another highlight
talk - so if possible, please plan your stay from the 13th till the 17th
of July.

The registration fee is 150 Euros (100 Euros for students).

Organizers: Mareike Fischer, Andreas Spillner, Martin Haase

Invited speakers: Olaf Bininda-Emonds, Mike Steel, Vince Moulton, Allen Rodrigo

Camera-ready for pre-proceedings: August 10, 2014

Symposium: September 11-12, 2014


PROCEEDINGS:
Accepted papers will be published in full text in hardcopy
post-proceedings, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series
of Springer Verlag.


TCS JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE: As in previous years, selected high-quality
papers will be considered for publication in a Special Issue of the
Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) Journal.


HOW TO SUBMIT: Full papers are to be submitted electronically using the
EasyChair server.
Original research papers must contain results that have not previously
appeared and have not been concurrently submitted to a journal or
conference with published proceedings. Each paper should select a track
to submit to. Since there can be a lot of overlap of the three tracks,
the selection of a track is a suggestion and all papers will be handled
by the single PC to ensure that each paper is handled by PC members of
the expertise area. Authors need to ensure that for each accepted paper
at least one author will register and attend the symposium. Submissions
are limited to twelve (12) single-column pages on letter/A4-size paper
(using at least 11 point font, 1 inch margins, standard line spacing,
preferably formatted in the LNCS style). This includes figures, but
excludes references and an optional appendix (to be read at the program
committee's discretion).
