MATCH-UP 2015: the Third International Workshop on Matching Under Preferences

16-17 April 2015
University of Glasgow, UK
http://www.optimalmatching.com/MATCHUP2015

co-located with Meeting of COST Action IC1205 on Computational Social Choice
http://www.optimalmatching.com/COST2015


MATCH-UP 2015 is the third workshop in the series of interdisciplinary and
international workshops on matching under preferences. The first in the
series took place in Reykjavik in 2008, whilst the second took place in
Budapest in 2012.

Background
----------
Matching problems with preferences occur in widespread applications such
as the assignment of school-leavers to universities, junior doctors to
hospitals, students to campus housing, children to schools, kidney
transplant patients to donors and so on. The common thread is that
individuals have preference lists over the possible outcomes and the task
is to find a matching of the participants that is in some sense optimal
with respect to these preferences.

The remit of this workshop is to explore matching problems with
preferences from the perspective of algorithms and complexity, discrete
mathematics, combinatorial optimization, game theory, mechanism design
and economics, and thus a key objective is to bring together the research
communities of the related areas.

List of topics
--------------
The matching problems under consideration include, but are not limited to:

* two-sided matchings involving agents on both sides (e.g. college
admissions, resident allocation, job markets, school choice, etc.)
* two-sided matchings involving agents and items (e.g. house allocation,
course allocation, project allocation, assigning papers to reviewers,
school choice, etc.)
* one-sided matchings (roommates problem, kidney exchanges, etc.)
* matching with payments (assignment game, etc.)

Invited speakers
----------------
* Katarina Cechlarova, Pavol Jozef Safarik University in Kosice
* Christine Cheng, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
* Herve Moulin, University of Glasgow

Submissions
-----------
We call for two types of contributed papers.

Format A:
* original contribution
* at most 12 pages
* accepted papers will be published in proceedings (however, this should
not prevent the simultaneous or subsequent submission of contributed
papers to other workshops, conferences or journals)

Format B:
* not necessarily original work
* no page limit
* only the abstract will be published in proceedings

Important dates
---------------
* Deadline for submission of contributed papers: 1 December 2014
* Notification of acceptance: 16 January 2015
* Early registration deadline: 2 March 2015
* Workshop: 16-17 April 2015

Funding
-------
There are a limited number of assisted places, funded by SICSA (The Scottish
Informatics and Computer Science Alliance), that will be awarded to PhD
students at SICSA universities. These assisted places will cover the cost of
registration but will not cover travel or accommodation.

Committees
----------
Organising committee co-chairs:
David Manlove, University of Glasgow, UK
Baharak Rastegari, University of Glasgow, UK

Programme committee co-chairs:
Peter Biro, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary
David Manlove, University of Glasgow, UK

Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks (JSAN)

Special Issue "Underwater Sensor Networks"

http://www.mdpi.com/journal/jsan/special_issues/usn

Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 December 2014

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


=== SPECIAL ISSUE ===

New advances in information technologies, circuits, systems and communication protocols have made possible the deployment of underwater sensor networks. These issues have lead researchers to propose new underwater sensor nodes, sensor node placement, protocols for their communication, architectures, and study new ways to communicate with higher bandwidth at higher distances. Moreover, the range of underwater applications is growing fast because of the last research in oceanography, marine science and aquiculture, so there is a need of underwater sensor networks in order to support these disciplines.

This special Issue is tries to collect unpublished works on theory and practice on underwater sensor networks, with special interest on real implementations and deployments. We also seek new proposals on wireless communication technologies.


=== KEYWORDS ===

The Special Issue "Underwater Sensor Networks" topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

- Underwater sensor nodes
- Underwater sensor node placement
- Routing protocols for underwater sensor networks
- Underwater communications
- Underwater architectures
- Underwater wireless communications
- Underwater sensor network deployments


=== SUBMISSION ===

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form (http://www.mdpi.com/user/manuscripts/upload/?journal=jsan). Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks is an international peer-reviewed Open Access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/jsan/instructions) before submitting a manuscript. For the first couple of issues the Article Processing Charge (APC) will be waived for well-prepared manuscripts. English correction and/or formatting fees of 250 CHF (Swiss Francs) will be charged in certain cases for those articles accepted for publication that require extensive additional formatting and/or English corrections.

Scaling up machine-learning (ML), data mining (DM) and reasoning
algorithms from Artificial Intelligence (AI) for massive datasets is a
major technical challenge in the times of "Big Data". The past ten
years has seen the rise of multi-core and GPU based computing. In
distributed computing, several frameworks such as Mahout, GraphLab and
Spark continue to appear to facilitate scaling up ML/DM/AI algorithms
using higher levels of abstraction. We invite novel works that advance
the trio-fields of ML/DM/AI through development of scalable algorithms
or computing frameworks. Ideal submissions would be characterized as
scaling up X on Y, where potential choices for X and Y are provided
below.
Scaling up
recommender systems
gradient descent algorithms
deep learning
sampling/sketching techniques
clustering (agglomerative techniques, graph clustering, clustering
heterogeneous data)
classification (SVM and other classifiers)
SVD
probabilistic inference (bayesian networks)
logical reasoning
graph algorithms and graph mining
On

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

CALL FOR PAPERS

================================================================
AAAI-15 Workshop on Planning, Search, and Optimization: PlanSOpt

Austin, Texas, 25-26 January 2015

http://org.nicta.com.au/plansopt-15

Submission deadline: October 14, 2014

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

Mainstream AI planning and heuristic search have traditionally been
concerned with finding paths through a state transition system. The
objective is typically to find either a feasible solution or an
optimal solution to a fairly restricted objective function (e.g.,
minimize plan length or the sum of the costs of actions in a plan).

While there have been pioneering efforts at using optimization for
planning (notably in compilation approaches to mixed integer
programming and constraint programming), there has been significant
renewed interest in a number of areas, including:

- formulating heuristic generation and selection as an optimization
problem

- linear programming as a basis for search heuristics in classical
planning

- hybridization of optimization approaches (e.g,. linear, mixed
integer linear, constraint, and non-linear programming) and
planning to solve more expressive problems involving time,
resources, and complex systems (e.g., the electricity grid)

- adaptation of optimization methods to design planning and search
algorithms that continually improve plan quality as time permits

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers in AI
planning, search, and optimization to investigate both problems and
solution approaches. We encourage applications of optimization
technology to planning/search problems, applications of traditional
planning/search technology (e.g., variations of A* search) to
optimization problems, and hybrid approaches that combine planning and
optimization.

SUGGESTED TOPICS

- Planning with time and/or resources
- Planning over complex systems
- Optimization over complex systems
- Optimization-based search heuristics
- Optimization techniques for planning and search (e.g. local search)
- Decomposition approaches for planning and search (e.g. column
generation, Benders Decomposition/Planning Modulo Theory)
- Anytime plan quality optimization
- AI-style search for optimization problems and solvers
- Reasoning about complex objective functions (e.g. requiring
multi-objective, bi-level, robust, or adversarial optimization or
search)
- Understanding, comparing, and combining the modelling approaches
from AI and optimization
- Hybrid and cross-over applications
- Comparing planning/search and optimization approaches on problems to
which both are applicable
- Search algorithms for graphical models, in particular weighted
counting and constraint satisfaction queries
- Exploitation of symmetries in search, in particular comparison of
such approaches in CP, MIP, and counting queries

WORKSHOP FORMAT

The workshop will include invited talks, presentations of accepted
contributions, and discussion. It will also feature tutorials about
planning and search for optimization researchers and about optimization
for planning and search researchers. It is expected that attendees
will have open minds and will engage in discussions in the spirit of
developing a mutual understanding of both problems and solution
approaches of interest to all backgrounds.

SUBMISSIONS

Papers should be accessible to researchers from AI planning, search,
and optimization. Work that only focuses on AI planning or search
without an aspect of optimization are not suitable. Conversely,
however, as our goal is to attract researchers from optimization, work
that is focused on optimization but that introduces problems or uses
techniques that the authors believe are of interest to the AI planning
and search communities are expressly encouraged.

Two paper formats are solicited:
- full-length papers (up to 8 pages in AAAI format)
- challenge or position papers (2 pages in AAAI format).

We welcome papers submitted to the main AAAI conference and papers
reporting research already published provided they align squarely with
the workshop topic.

Papers should be submitted in PDF to EasyChair. All papers will be peer
reviewed.

The recent advances in wireless sensing technology have led to the emergence of a wide
range of applications in different domains such as medical, sports, consumer electronics,
social networking, and enterprise usage. E-health is recognized as the most important and
promising among these applications for its potential for health monitoring of chronic
illnesses, lifesaving in emergency situations, and its ability to provide round the clock
healthcare to rural and disadvantaged areas. Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are the
key enabler of remote and in-hospital health monitoring and are expected to revolutionize
the health and real-time body monitoring industry.

WBAN technology has quickly attracted a lot of attention from researchers, practitioners
and clinicians as well as mobile health related data managers. The main objective of WBAN
is to provide cost-effective, flexible, and secure use of biotelemetry information and
communication technologies to support both medical and non-medical applications. This
technology enables ambient assisted living by providing more freedom to the elderly,
disabled, and chronic illness sufferers. Moreover, it can be rapidly deployed in emergency
and disaster situations facilitating faster and more accurate remote diagnosis of victims.
WBAN technology unleashes the possibilities and potentials for personalized medicine which
promises to revolutionize healthcare that will have a significant societal and economic
impact and improve the citizens? quality of life, particularly in future smart cities.
However, WBAN applications present several challenges for the research community including:
passive non-intrusive and power utilization design issues, security and reliability with
regards to the integrity of the acquired biotelemetry data and the real-time transmission of
the monitored data using QoS aware techniques. Moreover, new emerging applications, which
consider critical flows, are gaining more and more popularity in various activity domains.

This workshop seeks to bring together leading academic and industrial researchers,
practitioners, and clinicians to identify and discuss the major technical challenges
and recent results related to WBANs based medical and non-medical applications.
All are welcome to present and share their latest research findings, ideas, simulation
tools and prototype test-beds at the 2015 RA-WERHA workshop.

Important Dates:
- Conference Track Submission Deadline: November 21, 2014
- Workshop Track Submission Deadline: December 5, 2014
- Notification of Decision: January 30, 2015
- Conference: May 2-5, 2015





Two Tracks: Conference and Workshop:
As the goal of ICITS is to bring together researchers on all aspects of information-theoretic security,
it consists of two tracks with different types of contributed presentations:

- Conference Track (with proceedings): Submissions to this track must be original papers that have not
previously appeared in published form. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and will
appear in the conference proceedings, which will be published by Springer in the LNCS series.

- Workshop Track (no proceedings): To encourage presentation of work from a variety of fields (especially
those where conference publication is unusual or makes journal publication difficult), the committee also
solicits "workshop track" papers. Accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference but will not
appear in the proceedings. Submissions to this track that have previously appeared (or are currently
submitted elsewhere) are acceptable, as long as they first appeared after January 1, 2014. Papers that
describe work in progress are also welcome. We note that the same standards of quality will apply to
conference and workshop papers.





Instruction for Authors:
- Conference Track: Submissions must not substantially duplicate work published elsewhere or submitted in
parallel to a journal or any other conference/workshop that has proceedings. The submission must be
anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, or obvious references. The length of the submission must be
at most 12 pages excluding bibliography and appendices. The text must be in a single column format, use at
least 11- point fonts, and have reasonable margins. The submission should begin with a title and a short
abstract. The introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a
non-specialist reader. Committee members are not required to read appendices; the paper should be
intelligible without them. Submissions should preferably be in PDF format. Instructions on how to submit
will be provided on the web site.

- Workshop Track: Authors may submit a paper published elsewhere or an original manuscript. As with the
conference track, submissions should begin with a title and short abstract followed by an introduction that
summarizes the contributions at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. Information about
previous publication, if any, should be indicated on the first page of the submission. Beyond these
guidelines no specific format is required. In particular, (a) papers previously published elsewhere may be
submitted in their published form provided bibliographic information is clearly indicated; (b) short
summaries of works available in other venues or online (on the arXiv or IACR eprint) are acceptable;
(c) original submissions may be left anonymous at the discretion of the authors. (Previously published
submissions cannot be anonymous.)


There is no restriction on program committee member submissions to either track, though PC-authored papers
will be held to a higher standard.
