The deadline is approaching!
The Combinatorics and Optimization group at the Institute of
Mathematics and Statistics of the University of S?o Paulo invites
applications for a postdoc fellowship in the context of the project
"Optimization Methods for Extremal Geometry", which is a part of
FAPESP project 13/03447-6 "Combinatorial structures, optimization, and
algorithms in theoretical Computer Science".
While the main direction of the project lies in applications of
optimization techniques, namely combinatorial optimization methods and
semidefinite programming, to geometrical problems (like the sphere
packing problem, or the kissing number problem), previous experience
in these areas is not required. We will be looking instead at the
depth of the applicant's research and his/her proficiency in applying
optimization methods and in areas such as harmonic analysis,
functional analysis, discrete geometry, and combinatorics. Familiarity
with semidefinite programming is however an asset. No teaching is
involved.
The salary is BRL 5,908.80/month, tax-free. For those living outside
of S?o Paulo, the flight will be reimbursed, and a further salary is
given for moving costs. There is also an allowance of BRL 10,634.40
per year for travel and other costs related to the project. The
fellowship is granted for a period of 12 months, which can be extended
for a further 12 months based on performance.
The start date is February 1st, 2014 (negotiable).
Deadline for application: January 5th, 2014.
Applications should consist of (1) a Curriculum Vitae including a
publications list; (2) a research statement (max. 5 pages) detailing
past research and including future research directions; (3) names and
emails of 3 references. The application should be sent AS A SINGLE PDF
FILE to

===================================================================
10 PhD places in new Centre for Doctoral Training in Data Science
Web site: http://datascience.inf.ed.ac.uk/
Application deadline: 27 January 2014 (first round)
===================================================================
The Edinburgh Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Data Science is
now inviting applications for 10 fully-funded PhD studentships, to
start in September 2014. Students with a strong background in computer
science, mathematics, physics, or engineering are particularly
encouraged to apply.
The CDT focuses on the computational principles, methods, and systems
for extracting knowledge from data. Large data sets are now generated
by almost every activity in science, society, and commerce - ranging
from molecular biology to social media, from sustainable energy to
health care. Data science asks: How can we efficiently find patterns
in these vast streams of data? Many research areas have tackled parts
of this problem: machine learning focuses on finding patterns and
making predictions from data; databases are needed for efficiently
accessing data and ensuring its quality; ideas from algorithms are
required to build systems that scale to big data streams; and separate
research areas have grown around different types of unstructured data
such as text, images, sensor data, video, and speech. Recently, these
distinct disciplines have begun to converge into a single field called
data science.
The CDT is a 4-year programme: the first year provides Masters level
training in the core areas of data science, along with a significant
project. In years 2-4 students will carry out PhD research in Data
Science, guided by PhD supervisors from within the centre. The CDT is
funded by EPSRC and the University of Edinburgh.
Edinburgh has a large, world-class research community in data science
to support the work of the CDT student cohort. The city of Edinburgh
has often been voted the 'best place to live in Britain', and has many
exciting cultural and student activities.
Because of constraints from funding agencies, there are different
rules for funding depending on your fee status:
* UK and EU students: Full funding (fees and stipend) is available.
* Non-EU students: Funding is significantly more competitive; see
http://datascience.inf.ed.ac.uk/apply/information-for-non-eu-students/
for details.
See http://datascience.inf.ed.ac.uk/apply/ for further information and
application forms. Enquiries via datascience@inf.ed.ac.uk .
There are two deadlines for applications:
* First round deadline for full consideration. Apply by 27 January
2014. (Any non-EU candidates must apply by this date, as well as
following the specific instructions for non-EU residents.)
* Second round: Any remaining scholarships will be awarded in a
second round of applications. The deadline for the second round is
31 March 2014.

**** CEC Competition at IEEE WCCI 2014 1st CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ****
"Optimisation of Problems with Multiple Interdependent Components"
CEC Competition at IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI
2014),
July 6 - 11, 2014, Beijing International Convention Center, Beijing, China
http://cs.adelaide.edu.au/~optlog/CEC2014Comp/
** Introduction **
Real-world optimization problems often consist of several NP-hard
combinatorial optimization problems that interact with each other. Such
multi-component optimization problems are difficult to solve not only
because of the contained hard optimization problems, but in particular,
because of the interdependencies between the different components.
Interdependence complicates a decision making by forcing each sub-problem to
influence the quality and feasibility of solutions of the other
sub-problems. This influence might be even stronger when one sub-problem
changes the data used by another one through a solution construction
process. Examples of multi-component problems are vehicle routing problems
under loading constraints, the maximizing material utilization while
respecting a production schedule, and the relocation of containers in a port
while minimizing idle times of ships.
The goal of this competition in combination with its associated special
session is to provide a platform for researchers in computational
intelligence working on multi-component optimization problems. The main
focus of this competition is on the combination of TSP and Knapsack
problems. However, we plan to extend this competition format to more complex
combinations of problems (that have typically been dealt with individually
in the past decades) in the upcoming years.
** Technical Details **
The set of benchmarks used in this competition follows the idea of the
"Travelling Thief Problem" (Mohammad Reza Bonyadi, Zbigniew Michalewicz,
Luigi Barone: The travelling thief problem: The first step in the transition
from theoretical problems to realistic problems. IEEE Congress on
Evolutionary Computation 2013: 1037-1044). Eucledian 2D Traveling
Salesperson instances are combined with 0-1-Knapsack instances in such a way
that it reflects aspects of problems from the real-world; for example, the
total weight of the items in the knapsack influences the travel speed of a
traveller. This introduced interdependence sets our benchmarks apart from
capacitated vehicle routing problem instances, where this interdependence
does not exist.
A range of sample instances will be available soon for researchers to
experiment with before the final submission. The samples will include
instances with few/many cities, with uncorrelated/correlated profits and
weights, and instances with further characteristics.
In order to encourage researchers during the weeks before the submission
deadline, we invite them to submit solutions for the sample instances. These
results will be displayed online (without a reference to the authors) and
then will serve as performance indications for other researchers.
** Submission and Evaluation **
Participants will submit executable files via an online system. These files
will be run on our state of the art Linux servers. The evaluation criteria
are
- final solution quality after a fixed budget of fitness function
evaluations (to mimic "expensive" evaluations), and
- final solution quality after a fixed budget of computation time (to
mimic the importance of "deadlines").
The technical details will be published online in time.
** Association **
This competition is associated with the Special Session EC23 Heuristic
Methods for Multi-Component Optimization Problems.
http://cs.adelaide.edu.au/~optlog/CEC2014/
** Prize **
We are trying our best to secure money prizes from companies that apply
computational intelligence methods, such as SolveIT Software
(www.solveitsoftware.com), a leading provider of enterprise software for
integrated planning and optimisation.
** Conference Participation **
While we do not require this, we strongly encourage the participants to
register for WCCI 2014 due to the advantages.
** Instances and Additional Details **
To be announced shortly. Please do not hesitate to contact us in case you
would like early access to the instances.

The International Transactions in Operational Research (ITOR) will
publish a Special Issue dedicated to ?Hybrid Metaheuristics and their
Applications?. Pure metaheuristics, such as GRASP, VNS, simulated
annealing, evolutionary algorithms, tabu search, ant colony
optimization, scatter search, and iterated local search, are considered
state-of-the-art methods for many problems. In recent years, however, it
has become evident that the concentration on a sole metaheuristic is
rather restrictive. A skilled combination of concepts from different
optimization techniques can provide more efficient algorithms and higher
flexibility when dealing with real-world and large-scale problems.
Hybrid Metaheuristics are therefore techniques for optimization that
combine different metaheuristics or integrate AI/OR techniques into
metaheuristics.
Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics, including but not
limited to:
- Novel combinations of components from different metaheuristics
- Hybridization of metaheuristics and AI/OR techniques
- Low-level hybridization
- High-level hybridization, portfolio techniques, expert systems
- Cooperative search
- Automated parameter tuning
- Empirical and statistical comparison
- Theoretical aspects of hybridization
- Parallelization
- Software libraries
Although we strongly encourage the submission of papers presented at the
8th International Workshop on Hybrid Metaheuristics (HM 2013) that took
place in Ischia (Napoli), Italy, from May 23 to 25, 2013, this Call for
Papers is also open to the entire community of academics and practitioners.
All papers will be peer-reviewed according to the editorial policy of
ITOR (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118505725/home),
published by the International Federation of Operational Research
Societies (IFORS). Papers should be original, unpublished, and not
currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. They should be
prepared according to the instructions to authors that can be found in
the journal homepage. Authors should upload their contributions using
the submission site http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/itor, indicating in
their cover letter that the paper is intended for this special issue.
The deadline for submissions is January 15, 2014. Other inquiries
should be sent directly to any of the Guest Editors in charge of this
issue: Paola Festa (paola.festa@unina.it), Mauricio G.C. Resende

**** CEC Competition at IEEE WCCI 2014 1st CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ****
"Optimisation of Problems with Multiple Interdependent Components"
CEC Competition at IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI
2014),
July 6 - 11, 2014, Beijing International Convention Center, Beijing, China
http://cs.adelaide.edu.au/~optlog/CEC2014Comp/
** Introduction **
Real-world optimization problems often consist of several NP-hard
combinatorial optimization problems that interact with each other. Such
multi-component optimization problems are difficult to solve not only
because of the contained hard optimization problems, but in particular,
because of the interdependencies between the different components.
Interdependence complicates a decision making by forcing each sub-problem to
influence the quality and feasibility of solutions of the other
sub-problems. This influence might be even stronger when one sub-problem
changes the data used by another one through a solution construction
process. Examples of multi-component problems are vehicle routing problems
under loading constraints, the maximizing material utilization while
respecting a production schedule, and the relocation of containers in a port
while minimizing idle times of ships.
The goal of this competition in combination with its associated special
session is to provide a platform for researchers in computational
intelligence working on multi-component optimization problems. The main
focus of this competition is on the combination of TSP and Knapsack
problems. However, we plan to extend this competition format to more complex
combinations of problems (that have typically been dealt with individually
in the past decades) in the upcoming years.
** Technical Details **
The set of benchmarks used in this competition follows the idea of the
"Travelling Thief Problem" (Mohammad Reza Bonyadi, Zbigniew Michalewicz,
Luigi Barone: The travelling thief problem: The first step in the transition
from theoretical problems to realistic problems. IEEE Congress on
Evolutionary Computation 2013: 1037-1044). Eucledian 2D Traveling
Salesperson instances are combined with 0-1-Knapsack instances in such a way
that it reflects aspects of problems from the real-world; for example, the
total weight of the items in the knapsack influences the travel speed of a
traveller. This introduced interdependence sets our benchmarks apart from
capacitated vehicle routing problem instances, where this interdependence
does not exist.
A range of sample instances will be available soon for researchers to
experiment with before the final submission. The samples will include
instances with few/many cities, with uncorrelated/correlated profits and
weights, and instances with further characteristics.
In order to encourage researchers during the weeks before the submission
deadline, we invite them to submit solutions for the sample instances. These
results will be displayed online (without a reference to the authors) and
then will serve as performance indications for other researchers.
** Submission and Evaluation **
Participants will submit executable files via an online system. These files
will be run on our state of the art Linux servers. The evaluation criteria
are
- final solution quality after a fixed budget of fitness function
evaluations (to mimic "expensive" evaluations), and
- final solution quality after a fixed budget of computation time (to
mimic the importance of "deadlines").
The technical details will be published online in time.
** Association **
This competition is associated with the Special Session EC23 Heuristic
Methods for Multi-Component Optimization Problems.
http://cs.adelaide.edu.au/~optlog/CEC2014/
** Prize **
We are trying our best to secure money prizes from companies that apply
computational intelligence methods, such as SolveIT Software
(www.solveitsoftware.com), a leading provider of enterprise software for
integrated planning and optimisation.
** Conference Participation **
While we do not require this, we strongly encourage the participants to
register for WCCI 2014 due to the advantages.
** Instances and Additional Details **
To be announced shortly. Please do not hesitate to contact us in case you
would like early access to the instances.

AIM:
SSTiC 2014 is the second edition in a series started in 2013. For the
previous event, see http://grammars.grlmc.com/SSTiC2013/
SSTiC 2014 will be a research training event mainly addressed to PhD
students and PhD holders in the first steps of their academic career. It
intends to update them about the most recent developments in the diverse
branches of computer science and its neighbouring areas. To that purpose,
renowned scholars will lecture and will be available for interaction with
the audience.
SSTiC 2014 will cover the whole spectrum of computer science through 5
keynote lectures and 24 six-hour courses dealing with some of the most
lively topics in the field. The organizers share the idea that outstanding
speakers will really attract the brightest students.
ADDRESSED TO:
Graduate students from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites
in terms of the academic degree the attendee must hold. However, since there
will be several levels among the courses, reference may be made to specific
knowledge background in the description of some of them.
SSTiC 2014 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep
themselves updated on developments in their own field or in other branches
of computer science. They will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss
with scholars who are main references in computing nowadays.
REGIME:
In addition to keynotes, 3 parallel sessions will be held during the whole
event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they will be
willing to attend as well as to move from one to another.
VENUE:
SSTiC 2014 will take place in Tarragona, located 90 kms. to the south of
Barcelona. The venue will be:
Campus Catalunya
Universitat Rovira i Virgili
Av. Catalunya, 35
43002 Tarragona

AIM:
SSTiC 2014 is the second edition in a series started in 2013. For the
previous event, see http://grammars.grlmc.com/SSTiC2013/
SSTiC 2014 will be a research training event mainly addressed to PhD
students and PhD holders in the first steps of their academic career. It
intends to update them about the most recent developments in the diverse
branches of computer science and its neighbouring areas. To that purpose,
renowned scholars will lecture and will be available for interaction with
the audience.
SSTiC 2014 will cover the whole spectrum of computer science through 5
keynote lectures and 24 six-hour courses dealing with some of the most
lively topics in the field. The organizers share the idea that outstanding
speakers will really attract the brightest students.
ADDRESSED TO:
Graduate students from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites
in terms of the academic degree the attendee must hold. However, since there

2nd CALL FOR PAPERS:
CiE 2014: Language, Life, Limits
Budapest, Hungary
June 23 - 27, 2014
http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu
IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission Deadline for LNCS: 10 January 2014
Notification of authors: 3 March 2014
Deadline for final revisions: 31 March 2014
FUNDING and AWARDS:
CiE 2014 has received funding for student participation from the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science EATCS. Please contact the PC
chairs if you are interested.
The best student paper will receive an award sponsored by Springer.
CiE 2014 is the tenth conference organized by CiE (Computability in Europe),
a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer scientists,
philosophers, physicists and others interested in new developments in
computability and their underlying significance for the real world. Previous
meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005), Swansea (2006), Siena (2007),
Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011),
Cambridge (2012), and Milan (2013).
The motto of CiE 2014 "Language, Life, Limits" intends to put a special focus
on relations between computational linguistics, natural and biological
computing, and more traditional fields of computability theory. This is to
be understood in its broadest sense including computational aspects of
problems in linguistics, studying models of computation and algorithms
inspired by physical and biological approaches as well as exhibiting limits
(and non-limits) of computability when considering different models of
computation arising from such approaches.
As with previous CiE conferences the allover glueing perspective is to
strengthen the mutual benefits of analyzing traditional and new computational
paradigms in their corresponding frameworks both with respect to practical
applications and a deeper theoretical understanding. We particularly invite
papers that build bridges between different parts of the research community.
For topics covered by the conference, please visit
http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu/?Topics
We particularly welcome submissions in emergent areas, such as bioinformatics
and natural computation, where they have a basic connection with
computability.

2nd CALL FOR PAPERS:
CiE 2014: Language, Life, Limits
Budapest, Hungary
June 23 - 27, 2014
http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu
IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission Deadline for LNCS: 10 January 2014
Notification of authors: 3 March 2014
Deadline for final revisions: 31 March 2014
FUNDING and AWARDS:
CiE 2014 has received funding for student participation from the European
Association for Theoretical Computer Science EATCS. Please contact the PC
chairs if you are interested.
The best student paper will receive an award sponsored by Springer.
CiE 2014 is the tenth conference organized by CiE (Computability in Europe),
a European association of mathematicians, logicians, computer scientists,
philosophers, physicists and others interested in new developments in
computability and their underlying significance for the real world. Previous
meetings have taken place in Amsterdam (2005), Swansea (2006), Siena (2007),
Athens (2008), Heidelberg (2009), Ponta Delgada (2010), Sofia (2011),
Cambridge (2012), and Milan (2013).
The motto of CiE 2014 "Language, Life, Limits" intends to put a special focus
on relations between computational linguistics, natural and biological
computing, and more traditional fields of computability theory. This is to
be understood in its broadest sense including computational aspects of
problems in linguistics, studying models of computation and algorithms
inspired by physical and biological approaches as well as exhibiting limits
(and non-limits) of computability when considering different models of
computation arising from such approaches.
As with previous CiE conferences the allover glueing perspective is to
strengthen the mutual benefits of analyzing traditional and new computational
paradigms in their corresponding frameworks both with respect to practical
applications and a deeper theoretical understanding. We particularly invite
papers that build bridges between different parts of the research community.
For topics covered by the conference, please visit
http://cie2014.inf.elte.hu/?Topics
We particularly welcome submissions in emergent areas, such as bioinformatics
and natural computation, where they have a basic connection with
computability.
