You are cordially invited to participate in the upcoming workshop in Mixed
Integer Programming (MIP 2015). The registration page
<https://www.regonline.com/register/checkin.aspx?EventId=1665507&MethodId=0&EventSessionId=&startnewreg=1>
is now open. This year?s workshop will have a registration fee of $150
($50 per students).

The 2015 Mixed Integer Programming workshop will be the twelfth in a series
of annual workshops held in North America designed to bring the integer
programming community together to discuss very recent developments in the
field. The workshop series consists of a single track of invited talks and
a poster session.

The poster session will be held the first evening of the workshop (June 1,
Monday). All workshop participants are invited to submit a poster
abstract. *There will
be an award for the best poster presented by a student or postdoctoral
researcher. *The poster can be about partial or complete results in a topic
related to mixed-integer programming (linear or nonlinear). To submit an
abstract, please email a two page PDF containing a detailed abstract of the
poster to:

*mip2015@chicagobooth.edu <mip2015@chicagobooth.edu>*

by March 15, 2015. Space for posters may be limited, and the abstract will
be used to decide which posters are accepted, so it is important that the
abstract provide a good description of the research to be presented. We
expect to send out notifications by around April 1, 2015.

Travel support is available for students and postdocs who present posters
at the workshop. Students and postdocs who wish to apply for travel support
must submit a poster abstract by the March 15 deadline, and indicate they

Message-ID: <54D1D8E7.5010403@irisa.fr>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

CALL FOR PAPERS

GraMSec 2015
The Second International Workshop on Graphical Models for Security
July 13, 2015, Verona, Italy
http://gramsec.uni.lu/
Co-located with CSF 2015
=================================

Graphical security models provide an intuitive but systematic
methodology to analyze security weaknesses of systems and to evaluate
potential protection measures. Formal methods and computer security
researchers, as well as security professionals from industry and
government, have proposed various graphical security modeling schemes.
Such models are used to capture different security facets (digital,
physical, and social) and address a range of challenges including
security assessment, risk analysis, automated defensing, secure
services composition, policy validation and verification. The
objective of GraMSec is to contribute to the development of
well-founded graphical security models, efficient algorithms for their
analysis, as well as methodologies for their practical usage.

The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government
presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of
graphical models for security. The topics of the workshop include, but
are not limited to:
- Attack trees, attack graphs, and their variants
- Petri nets, Markov chains, and Bayesian networks for security
- UML-based models and other graphical modeling approaches for security
- Enhancement and/or optimization of existing graphical security models
- Methods for (semi-)automatic generation of graphical security models
- Scalability of graphical security models
- Software tools for graphical security modeling and analysis
- Risk assessment and risk management using graphical security models
- Methods for quantitative analysis of graphical security models
- Formal semantics of graphical security models
- Formal verification of graphical security models
- Game theoretical approaches to graphical security models
- Visualization of system security
- Visual security modeling and analysis of socio-technical and
cyber-physical systems
- Graphical models for system, organizational, and business security
- Graphical security models for emerging paradigms (e.g., Cloud
computing, IoT, Software Defined Networks, Big Data)
- Case studies and experience reports on the use of graphical security
models

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
We solicit two types of submissions:
- Regular papers (up to 15 pages) describing original and unpublished
work within the scope of the workshop.
- Tool papers (up to 5 pages) describing software supporting graphical
security modeling, analysis, and evaluation. Tool papers will be
presented during a special tool session.

All submissions must be prepared using the LNCS style.

Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. All accepted
(regular and tool) papers will be included in the final proceedings,
which we plan to publish as a Springer LNCS volume (pending
confirmation). Submissions should be made using the GraMSec'15
EasyChair web site.

Scope
The main goals of a smart-city are to improve sustainability and
livability, to ease city government and organization, and to increase
services to the citizens. The primary role of ICT in enabling this
vision is to keep the decision makers, the stake holders and the citizen
constantly updated with fresh information collected around the city.

To accomplish this task, next generation cities, will be populated with
billion of heterogeneous devices ranging from tiny communicating objects
(e.g., actuators, sensors, tags) able to interact with the surrounding
environment and remote systems, to high-end nodes (e.g., data centers,
workstations) capable of complex operations and to process an huge
amount of information. In this futuristic scenario a very special role
is played by citizens with their smartphones, tablets and portable
devices. They are constantly connected with whatever surroundings them
and they are formidable information consumers. At the same time,
citizens roaming around the city may be considered as mobile probes
which, by making uses of cyber and physical data accessible by
smartphones, can analyze the situation and produce reports to the
community. Furthermore smartphones can actively contributing in creating
the communication infrastructure by forwarding data coming from
surrounding devices.

All in all, cities are going to become a new complex ecosystem which has
the potentiality to offer many amazing features and support innovative
application. Unfortunately, fully exploiting, managing and accessing
that ecosystem are still far to be fully viable and their fulfillment
surely poses a formidable challenge.

The SWANSITY workshop aims to solicit contributions on novel algorithms,
methodological studies and experimentations on how to enable the
formerly described ecosystem. Specifically, on how devise a city-wide
networking infrastructure capable to efficiently guarantee communication
in the new envisaged ecosystem, to manage the complexity of
heterogeneous devices and access technologies, and to guarantee robust,
ubiquitous, and secure connectivity over the urban environments.
In line with such objectives, original contributions are solicited in
topics of interest including, but not limited to, the following:

- Models of network components? interactions on a smart-city
- Enabling wireless and mobile technologies for smart cities
- Novel communication protocols for M2M Communications;
- Device-2-Device Communications (D2D);
- IoT architectures and middleware for smart cities;
- Self-organizing wireless networks for pervasive urban access;
- Network virtualization for heterogeneous wireless networks;
- Distributed Sensing and Control in Smart Cities;
- Mobile-aware cloud computing models, infrastructures, and approaches

- Smartphone-based sensing systems, tools, applications in Smart City
environments;
- Smartphone and mobile systems and applications;
- Cyber-physical interactions with smartphones;
- Crowd sourcing in smart cities;
- Dynamic trust management models for Smartphone based networks and
applications;
- Cooperation incentive models for Smartphone based networks and
applications;
- Reliability, Security, Privacy and Trust in smart cities ecosystems;
- Business model to promote users collaboration and resources sharing in
smart cities ecosystems;
- Testbed demonstrating the feasibility of Smartphone based networks and
interaction with Cyber physical Systems;
- Applications, Business, Standards, and Social Issue;
- Security models to promote Smartphone collaboration and resources sharing
- Cooperative Smart Objects supporting Wireless Networks
Interoperability and Management

Scope:

Pushing computation, control and storage into the "cloud" has been a key
trend in networking in the past decade. Over-dependence on the cloud,
however, indicates that availability and fault tolerance issues in the
cloud would directly impact millions of end-users. Indeed, the cloud is
now "descending" to the network edge and often diffused among the client
devices in both mobile and wireline networks. The cloud is becoming the
"fog."
Empowered by the latest chips, radios, and sensors, each client device
today is powerful in computation, in storage, in sensing and in
communication. Yet client devices are still limited in battery power,
global view of the network, and mobility support. Most interestingly,
the collection of many clients in a crowd presents a highly distributed,
under-organized, and possibly dense network. Further, wireless networks
is increasingly used locally, e.g. intra-building, intra-vehicle, and
personal body-area networks; and data generated locally is increasingly
consumed locally.
Fog Network presents an architecture that uses one or a collaborative
multitude of end-user clients or near-user edge devices to carry out
storage, communication, computation, and control in a network.
It is an architecture that will support the Internet of Things,
heterogeneous 5G mobile services, and home and personal area networks.
Fog Networking leverages past experience in sensor networks, P2P and
MANET research, and incorporates the latest advances in devices, network
systems, and data science to reshape the "balance of power" in the
ecosystem of computing and networking.
As the first high-quality IEEE workshop in the emergent area of Fog
Networking, this workshop's scope includes:
- Edge data analytics and stream mining
- Edge resource pooling
- Edge caching and distributed data center
- Client-side measurement and crowd-sensing
- Client-side control and configuration
- Security and privacy in Fog
- Fog applications in IoT
- Fog applications in 5G
- Fog applications in home and personal area networking

IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Big Data forGreen Communications and Computing. With the rapid growth of data in thepast few years, information and communication technologies have madesignificant impacts on global environments on both positive and negativeaspects. International efforts have started to advance green energyinitiatives to create sustainable energy systems to support economic andsocietal development. Generation of huge amounts of data, called Big Data,across different sectors such as banking, healthcare, retail and education,among others, is creating the need for an efficient tool to manage thisdata. Conventional database management tools do not have the capability tomanage surging volumes of unstructured data. For example, more than 80% ofdata is unstructured in the form of videos, tweets, GPS coordinates andemails, which means that decisions need to be made at high velocity. Datais expected to exponentially grow through data collected!
via pervasivesensors and/or the Internet. It also leads to new emerging challenges thathave the potential to create more accurate solutions for science andtechnologies. We believe that big data has a significant impact on greencommunications and computing, which aims to provide energy-sustainable,resource-saving, and environment-friendlysolutions. But how can one leverage the use of Big Data technology in orderto become really green? For this Special Section in IEEE Access, we inviteacademic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technicalchallenges and recent results on new concepts and technologies to achievegreen communications and computing, as well as new ideas in big data forgreen communications and computing applications and services. Thecontributions may present novel concepts, ideas, models, methodologies,system design, and experiments for providing objective comparisons betweenpotential ideas and solutions. Topics of interest include, but are notlimit!
ed to: Big Data for green network modeling, green networking andprotocols, green communication management, green network architecturedesign, green data center networking and computing, green network security,privacy, and trust, and green network fault tolerance.

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

SIROCCO is devoted to the study of communication and knowledge in
multi-processor systems from both the qualitative and quantitative viewpoints.
Special emphasis is given to innovative approaches and fundamental
understanding, in addition to efforts to optimize current designs. SIROCCO has
a tradition of interesting and productive scientific meetings in a relaxed and
pleasant atmosphere, attracting leading researchers in a variety of fields in
which communication and knowledge play a significant role. This year, SIROCCO
is held in Montserrat, a beautiful location not far from Barcelona, Spain.

SCOPE: Original papers are solicited from all areas of study of local
structural knowledge and global communication and computational complexities.
Among the typical areas are distributed computing, communication networks,
game theory, parallel computing, social networks, mobile computing (including
autonomous robots), peer to peer systems, communication complexity, fault
tolerant graph theories, and randomized/probabilistic issues in networks.
Keeping up with the tradition of SIROCCO, new areas are always welcome. In
fact, this time we will have a special track on bio-inspired systems.

BEST STUDENT PAPER: A Best Student Paper Award will be awarded to a paper
coauthored by one or more full-time students at the time of submission. The
program committee may decline to make this awards or split it.

SUBMISSION: Papers are to be submitted electronically (through EasyChair).
Submission instructions and guidelines are available at the conference web
page. Authors are invited to submit their work in one of the three acceptable
formats: novel research contributions, position papers, and surveys. 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. In all cases, any partial overlap with any published or
concurrently submitted paper must be clearly indicated. Papers must be
prepared using the LNCS style and be electronically submitted in PDF format
using EasyChair. The main part of a submission should not exceed 15 pages
(including the title, authors, abstract, figures, and references). Any
additional information may be supplied in a clearly marked appendix.

PUBLICATION: As in previous years, the proceedings of SIROCCO 2015 are planned
to be published by Springer Verlag as a volume of the LNCS series. Selected
