AIM:

BigDat 2015 is a research training event for graduates and postgraduates in
the first steps of their academic career. It aims at updating them about the
most recent developments in the fast developing area of big data, which
covers a large spectrum of current exciting research, development and
innovation with an extraordinary potential for a huge impact on scientific
discoveries, medicine, engineering, business models, and society itself.
Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views
with the audience.

All big data subareas will be displayed, namely: foundations,
infrastructure, management, search and mining, security and privacy, and
applications. Main challenges of analytics, management and storage of big
data will be identified through 5 keynote lectures and 23 six-hour courses,
which will tackle the most lively and promising topics. The organizers
believe outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated
students. Interaction will be a main component of the event.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduate and postgraduates from around the world. There are no formal
pre-requisites in terms of academic degrees. However, since there will be
differences in the course levels, specific knowledge background may be

SCOPE AND OVERVIEW
__________________

Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired,
but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively.
Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous
mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Traditional
examples of challenged networks include inter-planetary networks, sensor and
wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, rural and remote areas,
and military battlefields. Recently, challenged networking has also found
applications in everyday settings, for which they were not initially conceived,
such as opportunistic networking supporting data-centric communications,
traffic offloading from cellular networks, mobile cloud computing,
opportunistic and participatory sensing. Inter-disciplinary approaches to
challenged networking protocols are also successfully explored, exploiting,
for example, findings in the area of social networking.
The availability of enabling technologies in mobile devices, such as
WiFi direct in Android and D2D communication in latest LTE releases, will
further push towards practical developments of challenged networking solutions.

This workshop builds on the success of the eight previous CHANTS workshops,
and WDTN 2005, to stimulate research on the most novel and challenging topics
of challenged network research. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers
and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results, as research papers or demos,
in the following topics:

- Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs)
- Opportunistic communication and computing
- Architecture, design, and implementation of communication systems
for challenged networks
- Modeling, analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols
- Network Coding in Challenged Networks
- Information Centric and Content-centric Networking in Challenged Networks
- Security/Trust/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks
- Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages
of development or use
- Applications of challenged networks in disrupted scenarios
(e.g. disaster relief and emergency management) and in daily use
(e.g., vehicular networks, mobile social networking, censorship evasion, crowdsourcing,
sensor networks)
- Green and energy-efficient communication using challenged networks
- Real-world mobility trace collection, analysis, and modeling for challenged environments
- Network science methods for challenged networks
- Mobile data offloading via challenged networks
- Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems
- Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks
- Challenged networking techniques for mobile cloud
- Challenged networking techniques for participatory and opportunistic sensing

Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship
to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research.
We aim to have a highly interactive workshop, also including demos, which have been
an integral part of CHANTS. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work will be
encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical
to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable.

PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
________________________________________

Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being
currently under review by another conference or journal.
Submitted papers must be no more than 6 pages long, and should adhere to
the standard ACM conference proceedings format.
Demo proposals (to be published as part of the proceedings) must not be longer
than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements
(the 1-page setup description will not be published in the proceedings).
Papers will be reviewed single blind.
Please follow the submission link at: http://www.acm-chants.org

EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPS

Special Session on Optimization Methods in Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (OMBB)
2014 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence (IEEE SSCI 2014)
December 9-12, 2014, Orlando, Florida, USA
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucberal/SS-OMBB-IEEE_SSCI_2014.html

Submission deadline: 15 June 2014
Submission site: http://ieee-cis.org/conferences/ssci2014/upload.php

Aim and Scope

Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BB) are interdisciplinary scientific fields involving many branches of computer science, engineering, mathematics, and statistics. Bioinformatics is concerned with the development and application of computational methods for the modelling, retrieving and analysis of biological data, whilst Bioengineering is the application of engineering techniques to biology so as to create usable and economically viable products.

Bioinformatics and Bioengineering are relatively new fields in which challenges and issues can often be formulated as optimization problems subject to multiple conflicting objectives. Such multiobjective optimization problems span from traditional problems, such as the optimization of biochemical processes, protein structure alignment and prediction, to more modern problems, such as directed evolution, drug design, experimental design, and optimization of manufacturing processes, material and equipment.

The main aim of this special session, which is organized within the SSCI-MCDM'14 Symposium, is to bring together both experts and new-comers working on Optimization Methods in Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (OMBB) to discuss new and exciting issues in this area.

Topics of Interest

We encourage submission of papers describing new concepts, strategies and challenges in the area of Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BB). In addition, we are interested in application papers discussing the power and applicability of these novel methods to real-world problems in BB. You are invited to submit papers that are unpublished original work for this special session at SSCI-MCDM'14.

The topics are, but not limited to, the following

* Optimization methods for BB problems
* Novel optimization problems in BB
* Emerging non-standard problem challenges in BB problems (e.g. missing objective values, resourcing issues, dynamic changes, many objectives, large-scale, mixed-typed variables, etc.)
* Closed-loop optimization in BB
* Interactive multiobjective optimization in BB
* Predictive fitness landscape design for BB problems
* Integrating user preferences into multiobjective optimization of BB problems
* Handling practicalities in BB problems, such as uncertainty, noise, constraints, fixed budget of evaluations, high computational costs, etc.
* Robustness in the optimization of BB problems
* Visualization techniques for complex BB problems
* Adaptation, learning, and anticipation in BB problems

Submission Instructions

We welcome original contributions describing ongoing projects or completed work.

Social Media
?Get social!? Social media and Web 2.0 technologies are applied in ever diverse practices both
in private and public communities. Totally new business models are emerging, traditional
communication and expression modalities are challenged, and new practices are constructed
in the collaborative, interactive media space.

Ambient/Ubiquitous Media & Open Source
?The medium is the message!? ? This conference track focuses on the definition of ambient
and ubiquitous media with a cross-disciplinary viewpoint: ambient media between technology,
art, and content. The focus of this track is on applications, location based services,
ubiquitous computation, augmented reality, theory, art-works, mixed reality concepts, the
Web 3.0, and user experiences that make ubiquitous and ambient media tick. Open source - The
last decade has seen a significant increase in open source initiatives such as open source
software, open standards, open content, open media, or even open source hardware. On the one
hand, the open movement has created new kinds of opportunities such as new business models
and development approaches. On the other hand, it has introduced new kinds of technical
and non-technical challenges.

Media Business, Media Production and Media Management
Media business and media management face the challenges of the emergence of new forms of
digital media and focuses on leadership practices, business models and value chains. It
discusses competition, patterns of media usage, advertising models, and how traditional
media can cope with the challenges coming from digital media focusing on media business
and media management issues.

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
The wide field of HCI is to discuss issues around human computer interaction modalities,
consumer experience, design of computer systems, human aspects, universal media access,
ergonomics, communication, novel interaction modalities, privacy, trusted systems, interaction
theories, and sociological and psychological factors. This theme of devotes to several of
these aspects, and is targeted to the scientific community dealing with several applied and
theoretical aspects of HCI and user experience.

Digital Games
The culture and business of digital games is becoming increasingly varied. The current trends
range from novel interface innovations and digital distribution channels to social game
dynamics and player-generated content. The games track is open for theoretical works,
empirical case studies and constructive projects.

ICT & E-Government
In recent years, ICT has played a pivotal role in the development of digital economy.
This technology facilitates the rapid accumulation and dissemination of information, group
interaction, communication, and collaboration. ICT has become one of the core elements of
managerial reform around the world. Since the launch of web 2.0 and emergence of ICT
infrastructure, processes and policies many governments and public officials use new
online tools to communicate among themselves, and with organizations and citizens.

Information Systems & Management in Creativity Industry
The media and entertainment industry is the third largest industry segment for investments
in information systems. This particular industry segment is faced with tremendous challenges
in terms of organizational, transformational, leadership, customer behaviour, and technological
changes. One particular challenge is the transformation of the analogue media world into its
digital counterpart. As of today, the successive research of business information management
and systems focusing on media and entertainment industries is rather fragmented and stretches
over a wide area of research islands such as social media, eCommerce, or eBusiness. To face
this challenge, this theme focuses on information management and systems for media and
entertainment industries and highlighting their particular needs in production, distribution,
and consumption in the larger context of media and entertainment industries.

Hybrid Media
Already today, the wall between physical and digital is starting to be less noticeable. For
example, digital devices are now combined with traditionally non digital things, some examples
being paper, cardboard and clothing. Application-toy hybrids are also common, such as digital
games which utilize physical toys in some form. The hybrid media track is for publications
where traditional media meets new media and where physical meets digital.

Demonstrations
The aim is to gather demonstrations from researchers and professionals from the communities
related to the topics of MindTrek. The objective for the demonstrations is to provide a forum
for exchanging experiences, practical projects, or media demonstrators. The target audience
includes members of the academic community, industry, or laboratories who can demonstrate the
results of their research projects with a practical implementation.

Special academic sessions (e.g. tutorials, demonstrations, workshops, and multidisciplinary
sessions) will be held parallel to the MindTrek business conference. Academic speakers and
authors are warmly welcome to register for the business conference tracks as part of the
academic conference with our special registration rate. The Academic MindTrek registration
includes full service such as coffees, lunches, and social gatherings.
