Dear all,

A 3-year PhD position in Operations Research is vacant at DTU Management Engineering. The PhD project is financed by the Danish Council for Strategic Research and by DTU and will be carried out in collaboration with our industrial collaborator Maersk Line.

Responsibilities and tasks?
The PhD project is part of a larger project concerning container liner networks. Container ships usually sail on fixed routes following a fixed schedule, quite similar to how public busses operate. The choice of routes and schedules can have a large impact on the profitability of the container line business and therefore we are interested in applying operations research techniques to optimize the network. A single route may sometimes be operated by several companies in collaboration using vessel sharing agreements. This put further constraints on the network design since it may be complicated to change the routes that are agreed upon by several companies.

The aim of the PhD project is to develop methods for constructing container liner networks and improving existing networks. It is desirable for the method to take vessel sharing agreements into account. When changing an existing network it is desirable to make gentle changes such that the disruption caused by the network re-design will be small. The PhD project will be carried out under the supervision of Professors Stefan R?pke and David Pisinger.

The applicant is also expected to contribute to teaching at the department and must take courses equivalent to 30 ECTS points during the studies.

Qualifications?
The applicant should have a strong background in Operations Research or related subjects. This background must be documented by courses, MSc / BSc theses and/or publications. Good English skills and programming experience is expected.

Further information and application process
Please see?http://www.man.dtu.dk/english/About-the-Department/Vacant-positions?for further information and for applying for the position. For questions, please contact?Professor Stefan R?pke,?ropke@dtu.dk?or Professor David Pisinger,?dapi@dtu.dk.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed

===============================
MASSIVE 2014 Call for Papers
===============================

Sixth Workshop on Massive Data Algorithmics (MASSIVE 2014) will take
place on September 11, 2014 in Wroc?aw, Poland as part of ALGO 2014
immediately following the European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA).

http://madalgo.au.dk/events/massive-2014/

The workshop has no formal proceedings, so work presented at the
workshop can also be (or have been) presented at other conferences.

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

Important Dates:

Submission deadlines:
- Paper submission: July 14, 2014 11:59pm HAST
- Author Notification: July 28, 2014
- Camera-ready version: August 11, 2014

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

Aim and scope:

Tremendous advances in our ability to acquire, store and process data,
as well as the pervasive use of computers in general, have resulted in a
spectacular increase in the amount of data being collected. This
availability of high-quality data has led to major advances in both
science and industry. In general, society is becoming increasingly data
driven, and this trend is likely to continue in the coming years.

The increasing number of applications processing massive data means that
in general focus on algorithm efficiency is increasing. However, the
large size of the data, and/or the small size of many modern computing
devices, also means that issues such as memory hierarchy architecture
often play a crucial role in algorithm efficiency. Thus the availability
of massive data also means many new challenges for algorithm designers.

The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers from both
academia and industry interested in algorithms for massive dataset
problems. The scope of the workshop includes both fundamental
algorithmic problems involving massive data, as well as algorithms for
more specialized problems in, e.g., graphics, databases, statistics and
bioinformatics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- I/O-efficient algorithms
- Cache-oblivious algorithms
- Memory hierarchy efficient algorithms
- Streaming algorithms
- Sublinear algorithms
- Parallel and distributed algorithms for massive data problems
- Engineering massive data algorithms

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

Paper submission:

We invite submissions of extended abstracts of original research. The
submission should begin with the title of the paper, each author's name,
affiliation, and e-mail address, followed by a succinct statement of the
problems considered, the main results, an explanation of their
significance, and a comparison to past research, all of which should be
easily understood by non-specialists. More technical developments follow
as appropriate. Use 11-point or larger font in single column format,
with one-inch or wider margins all around. You may include a clearly
marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the committee.
The submission, excluding title page, bibliography and appendix, must
not exceed 10 pages (authors should feel free to send submissions that
are significantly shorter than 10 pages).

Extended abstract should be submitted through the EasyChair website by
July 14th. Authors will be notified about acceptance by July 28th. There
will be no formal proceedings, so work presented at the workshop can
also be (or have been) presented at other conferences. An informal
collection of the extended abstracts will be provided to the workshop
participants. An author of each accepted abstract is expected to give a
presentation of the abstract at the workshop.

conference website.

We remark that XVI ECG will have neither formally reviewed proceedings
nor printed
abstracts. The abstracts, without ISBN, will be made available on the
conference
website (appendices excluded), and must be regarded as a collection of
preprints
rather than a formally reviewed selection of papers.

Papers that have just been submitted to journals or to formally reviewed
conferences
are eligible for being presented at XVI ECG, assuming that it is allowed
by those
venues and they have not appeared by the time of the conference.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the
conference.
Failure to do so will result in removal of the contribution everywhere
in the website.

Preliminary Call for Papers

ACM e-Energy 2015

Bangalore, India

June 2015 (Exact date TBC)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As countries round the world rally to reduce their carbon emissions in
the face of rising energy costs, there is a growing need to research
computing and communication technologies that will support smarter and
more sustainable energy solutions (e.g., Smart Grid). Such
technologies, measure, monitor and control energy systems (e.g.,
micro-grids and electric vehicles); inform and shape human demand; aid
in the prediction, deployment, storage and control of energy
resources; and determine how utilities, generators, regulators,
and consumers measure, analyze, and collectively control system
elements. In turn, the exponential growth in the deployment of
communication and computing technologies has made them large-scale
energy consumers. Therefore, new architectures, technologies and
systems are being developed and deployed to make computing and
networked system more energy efficient.

The Sixth International Conference on Future Energy Systems (ACM
e-Energy), to be held in Bangalore, India in June 2015, aims to be the
premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of
computing and communication for smart energy systems (including the
smart grid), and in energy-efficient computing and communication
systems. By bringing together researchers from a range of disciplines
in a high-quality single-track conference with significant
opportunities for individual and small-group interaction, it will
serve as a major forum for presentations and discussions that will
shape the future of this area.

We solicit high-quality papers in the areas of computing and
communication for the Smart Grid and energy-efficient computing and
communications. We welcome submissions describing theoretical
advances as well as system design, implementation and
experimentation. ACM e-Energy is committed to a fair, timely, and
thorough review process providing authors of submitted papers with
sound and detailed feedback.

Topics covered:

---------------

. Advances in monitoring and control of smart homes and buildings

. Sensing, monitoring, control, and management of energy systems

. Energy-efficient computing and communication, including energy-
efficient data centers

. The impact of storage integration on the smart grid

. Electric Vehicle monitoring and control

. Distribution and transmission network control techniques

. Microgrid and distributed generation management and control

. Modeling, control, and architectures for renewable energy generation resources

. Novel technologies to enhance reliability and robustness of energy systems

. HCI for energy monitoring, management, and awareness

. User studies and behavioral change enabled by computing and
communication technologies

. Data analytics for the smart grid and energy-efficient systems

Submissions:

------------

Two type of contributions are solicited:

. Full papers, up to 12 pages in ACM double-column format, should
present original theoretical and/or experimental research in any of
the areas listed above that has not been previously published,
accepted for publication, or is not currently under review by
another conference or journal.
