Recherche Profile
=================
The Computer Science Laboratory of Paris-North University (LIPN) has
been associated with CNRS since january 1992 and is a mixed research
unit since january 2001 (UMR 7030). Research at LIPN is carried out in
its major areas of expertise, in particular Combinatorics, Combinatorial
Optimisation, Algorithmics, Logic, Software, Natural Language, Machine
Learning. The laboratory is structured into five teams: A3, AOC, CALIN,
LCR and RCLN.

Successful candidates will hold a PhD in Operations Research or
Mathematical Programming, and will join the Algorithms and Combinatorial
Optimization (AOC) research team
(http://www-lipn.univ-paris13.fr/AOC/):

The AOC team is organized along three axes: Optimization on graphs,
Mathematical Programming and Parallel and Distributed Computing. These
three research axes are strongly linked together. The first one mainly
deals with optimization problems in graphs with focus on complexity,
Polyedral theory and Approximation.

The second axis of the AOC team (i.e., Mathematical Programming) deals
with the design and analysis (both theoretical and empirical) of
mathematical programming approaches and algorithms. Both exact and
heuristic approaches for solving hard combinatorial optimization
problems are developed. Among these approaches there are: branch and
cut, branch and price, methods of decomposition and relaxation.
Moreover, both MILP (mixed integer linear programming) and MINLP (mixed
integer non linear programming) are studied. The third axis deals with
problems intersecting three strongly linked domains: distributed
middleware and architecture, distributed programming and distributed
algorithms.
An interesting characteristic of the AOC team is that our expertise
covers a broad spectrum of topics either horizontal (from graph theory
to heuristics) or vertical (from algorithm design to detailed
implementation). The theoretical and methodological work is complete by
an industrial transfers.

The second axis is particularly interested in solving hard combinatorial
optimization problems by exact and matheuristic approaches. The ?ma?tre
de conf?rences? recruited will integrate the AOC team LIPN on a
mathematical programming profile. Expertise around reformulation and
decomposition methods will be appreciated.

Key words: combinatorial optimization, discrete applied mathematics,
mathematical programming.

Research Associate ? Academic Level A or B
School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

This position is within the Centre for Bioinformatics, Biomarker Discovery and Information-based Medicine
(CIBM) under the direct supervision of Professor Pablo Moscato, CIBM?s Co-Director.

Brief description of the project

Supernetworks are built ?above and beyond? existing networks. In bioinformatics they arise from the
integration of a set of networks with different types of nodes and edges. While large companies and
governments have already understood the importance of decision problems in supernetworks,
the power of this perspective has not yet been exploited in the Life Sciences. The successful candidate
will develop a research program that, using supercomputer-based approaches together with memetic
algorithms, will address the first key areas that will lead to smart information use of existing networks
and the supernetworks that can be generated by integration of in distributed databases.

In particular, the work will be conducted to develop state-of-the-art algorithms for problems in the key areas
of network alignment, identification of connected-cohesive subnetworks (and other community detection
algorithms) and embedding large graphs in multi-planar structures (i.e. developing algorithms for variants of
the book embedding problem in graphs).

The Priority Research Centre of Bioinformatics, Biomarker Discovery and Information Based Medicine (CIBM),
conducts research in areas such as multi-objective optimization, evolutionary computation, bioinformatics,
machine learning, combinatorial optimization, metaheuristics, memetic algorithms, computer vision, to
mention a few, with applications in analysis of biological data and healthcare.

The University of Newcastle is one of Australia's leading universities - an exceptional achiever in research
according to its size and it has an international reputation for expertise in innovative approaches to teaching
and learning. On December, 2012, the University was assessed in 49 four digit fields of research with 90% of
our codes being rated at world standard ("3") or above. A total of 18 of those received the maximum score of
?5? indicating that they were ?well above world standard'.

This position is available on a fixed-term basis for three years supported by an ARC Discovery Project
and is aimed at producing outcomes in relation to this project. Women are particularly encouraged to apply
as they are under-represented in the School's/Faculty's academic profile

CALL FOR PAPERS - SISAP 2014
7th International Conference on Similarity Search and Applications

http://www.sisap.org/2014/

Los Cabos, Mexico, Oct 29-31, 2014

-------
Scope
-------
The 7th International Conference on Similarity Search and Applications
(SISAP) is an annual forum for researchers and application developers in
the area of similarity data management. It aims at the technological
problems shared by numerous application domains, such as data mining,
information retrieval, computer vision, pattern recognition,
computational biology, geography, biometrics, machine learning, and many
others that need similarity searching as a necessary supporting service.

The SISAP initiative (www.sisap.org) aims to become a forum to exchange
real-world, challenging and innovative examples of applications, new
indexing techniques, common test-beds and benchmarks, source code and
up-to-date literature through its web page, serving the similarity
search community. Traditionally, SISAP puts emphasis on the
distance-based searching, but in general the conference concerns both
the effectiveness and efficiency aspects of any similarity search
problem.

The series started in 2008 as a workshop and has developed over the
years into an international conference with Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) proceedings.

-------
Topics
-------
The specific topics include, but are not limited to:
-Similarity queries ? k-NN, range, reverse NN, top-k, etc.
-Similarity operations ? joins, ranking, classification,
categorization, filtering, etc.
-Evaluation techniques for similarity queries and operations
-Merging/combining multiple similarity modalities
-Cost models and analysis for similarity data processing
-Indexing and access methods for similarity-based processing
-Scalability issues and high-performance similarity data management
-Feature extraction for similarity-based indexing and retrieval
-Feature selection
-Test collections and benchmarks
-Performance studies, benchmarks, and comparisons
-Similarity search over outsourced data repositories
-Similarity search cloud services
-Languages for similarity databases
-New modes of similarity for complex data understanding
-Applications of similarity-based operations
-Visual analitics for similarity-based operations
-Image, video, voice, and music (multimedia) retrieval systems
-Similarity for forensics and security
-Surveillance and defense

----------------------------------------
Paper Submission and Publication
----------------------------------------
Papers submitted to SISAP 2014 must be written in English and formatted
according to the LNCS guidelines
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs). Full papers can be up to 12
pages, while short papers, case-studies/applications, and demos can be
up to 6 pages (read below for types of contribution). By submitting a
paper, its authors commit to having the paper presented at the
conference by at least one of them if the paper is accepted.

Papers will be submitted in PDF format through EasyChair
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sisap2014).
If you experience any problems during the submission, you can contact
the organization at sisap2014@icmc.usp.br

------
Information Systems Journal special issue
-------
As in previous editions of SISAP, a selection of the best papers will
be invited to submit extended versions of the papers to a special issue
of the Journal Information Systems (IS), Elsevier. It is important to
highlight that the impact factor of the papers previously published in
these IS special issues is 8.25.

Contributions

Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished papers on their
research in the area of similarity search and applications. Papers
should present original research contributions which bring out the
importance of algorithms to applications. SISAP submissions can be of
three kinds (full details will be announced shortly):
- Research papers (full and short): SISAP accepts both full (12 pages)
and short papers (6 pages). The full papers are expected to be
descriptions of complete technical work, while the short papers will
describe interesting, innovative ideas, which nevertheless require more
work to mature - vision papers should also be submitted as short papers.
All papers, regardless of size, will be given an entry in the conference
proceedings.
- Case-studies and applications: Submissions describe applications of
existing similarity search technologies to interesting problems,
including a description of the encountered challenges, how they were
overcome, and the lessons learned. All papers on this track will be
given an entry in the conference proceedings and a presentation slot,
though the presentation slot duration may be shorter than for full
research papers.
- Demonstration papers: Submissions should provide the motivation for
the demonstrated concepts, the information about the technology and the
system to be demonstrated (including a system description, functionality
and figures when applicable), and should state the significance of the
contribution. Evaluation criteria for the demonstration proposals
include: the novelty, the technical advances and challenges, and the
overall practical attractiveness of the demonstrated system.
Demonstration papers will also be given an entry in the conference
proceedings ? online demos are expected at the conference.

Call for papers
Slowly but steadily the Internet of Things (IoT) is penetrating and transforming our lives. The first stage of the IoT evolution consisted in the deployment of RFID tags for facilitating routing, taking inventory and loss prevention of goods. After that we witnessed the first wave of RFID and sensor network integration toward vertical-market applications. Nowadays, new generations of RFID tags, in particular active RFID tags, often include built-in sensing capabilities. Whereas, applications based on sensor networks often require means for unique identification and discovery of objects, which are monitored by the sensor network. The convergence of sensing and identification technologies, together with communication and computation systems, enables us to gain impressive awareness about the state of the real world and will drastically change the way we interact with our environment. Urban planning, smart cities, intelligent shopping, smart meters, home automation, security and!
surveillance, industrial applications like process industry automation, supply chain, smart product management and agricultural applications are examples of potential applications for real-world systems. Even though the advent of the IPv6/6LoWPAN protocol suite solved several technical issues, many challenges are still open in the research and development communities concerning the choice of communication paradigms, architectures and technology.

The main focus of this workshop is on technologies, applications and paradigms of the IoT that are already deployed or are under investigation and that belong to the second stage of the IoT evolution.?The next step in the evolution of the IoT is its characterization as the underlying technological layer needed to shape and substantiate higher layer concepts such as semantic web and personalization. In fact, the IoT is the enabling technology to allow virtual and physical worlds to converge in what has already been defined as Web 3.0. If, currently, the IoT is the most suited companion of blogging, podcasting, tagging and social networking, we can imagine that its evolution will foster the rise of statistical, machine-constructed semantic tags and algorithms through the construction and exploitation of semantic databases empowered by distributed and cloud computing. The integration of the IoT with semantic databases, capable of delivering accurate information about the nature!
and the state of every physical object will introduce a staggering amount of new applications opportunities as well as potentially lead to an ultimate "Big brother scenario". Therefore, a particular interest will have to be given to appropriate security and privacy control mechanisms.
The secondary focus of this workshop is on IoT vision and perspective towards Web 3.0.

IoTIP features two tracks:
- Current ideas: for technical works currently under investigation;
- Future perspectives: for vision papers envisaging possible future technologies, paradigms and applications for IoT.

Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
- IoT paradigms, architectures, applications and technologies
- IoT systems and components
- IoT for semantic web and personalization
- Tools for developing IoT applications
- Blogging, Podcasting, Tagging and Social networking through the IoT
- Cloud vs distributed computing for the IoT
- Security and privacy control mechanisms
- Performance assessment and management (QoS, scalability, reliability, etc)
- PHY layer, Spectrum management for IoT radio communications
- MAC protocols (e.g., scheduling, power control etc.) for IoT
- Mobility management
- Naming, address management and End-to-End Addressability
- Object, device and service management
- RFID, sensors, actuator technologies
- Middleware for IoT
- Sustainable design and technologies (e.g. energy-efficiency)
- Test-beds and field trials
- Standardization and regulatory issues

ABSTRACT
Most optimization problems that we need to solve in practice turn out to
be NP-hard. The goal of approximation algorithms is to compute efficiently
an approximate solution to a NP-hard optimization problem.

In these lectures we will describe some of the most relevant and recent
results
and techniques in the area of approximation algorithms. We will study a few
fundamental problems, which appear in several real-world applications,
such as: vertex and set cover, independent and dominating set, knapsack
and bin packing, traveling salesman, Steiner tree and its
generalizations, k-center, facility location, maximum satisfiability and
many others.

Along the way, we will illustrate some common and powerful techniques in
the design and analysis of approximation algorithms: dynamic programming,
greedy heuristics, local search, randomized algorithms, LP rounding,
the primal-dual method, iterative rounding, etc.

We will also discuss the limits of approximation algorithms, by
presenting some approximation lower bounds and inapproximability
results.

NINTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES
IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS
(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2014)

Chateau Lacombe Hotel
Edmonton, Canada

8-11 September 2014

http://www.senseapp.org

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Internet of Things is happening! Wireless sensors and actuators are increasingly networked and continually narrow the gap between the physical world and cyberspace. Domain-specific sensing deployments in industrial or home automation scenarios are becoming more and more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for interfacing with or extending dedicated sensor networks. Nevertheless, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary, including the hardware platforms of sensor and actor nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications.

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications
- Innovative sensor network applications
- Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments
- Integrating sensor networks and the internet of things
- Middleware support for sensor networks
- Programming and debugging sensor networks
- Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks
- Experiences with new sensor hardware
- Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization
- Experiences with communication protocols
- Practical medium access control protocols (MACs)
- Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments
- Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks

WORKSHOP ON LOGIC AND SEARCH - LaSh 2014
Representing and Solving Computational Search Problems

Call For Submissions

Vienna, Austria, July 18, 2014
http://vsl2014.at/lash/

OVERVIEW

The purpose of the LaSh workshops is to foster scientific exchange on
subjects related to languages for representing, and methods for solving,
computationally challenging search problems. The scope includes study of
relevant logics, algorithms, and logic-based systems, and also study of
other languages and systems from the viewpoint of logic, broadly construed.

Hard combinatorial search and optimization problems abound in science,
engineering, and other areas. Examples include planning, scheduling and
configuration problems. Several communities have developed general purpose
solving technologies for such problems, supported by declarative modelling
or specification languages. These include answer set programming (ASP)
from knowledge representation (KR), constraint solvers and modelling languages
from constraint programming (CP), and integer linear programming (ILP) solvers
and algebraic modelling languages from mathematical programming. Other
relevant areas include propositional satisfiability (SAT), satisfiability
modulo theories (SMT), and representation languages based on classical
logic and FO(ID).

Differences in emphasis notwithstanding, these share the same purpose.
Indeed, there are many similarities in solving technologies, and increasing
exchange between the areas both in solving and representational issues.
>From a logical point of view, whether a given language or system is
described in logical terms or not, we have languages which define some
class of structures, and systems whose purpose is to compute structures
in the class. Logic may be seen as an explicit basis for building systems,
as an analytic tool, or as a formal approach to viewing the diversity of
systems more uniformly.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Logics relevant to the study of search and optimization problems
- Languages for specifying or modelling search or optimization problems
- Reasoning about or with specifications of search problems
- Grounding and related language transformation methods
- Expressiveness and complexity of logics and languages
- Ground Solvers and their languages: SAT, ASP, SMT, FlatZinc, etc.
- New or extended ground solver languages: SAT+Cardinality, SAT+TC, etc.
- Design of systems, solvers, and related tools
- Approximation, tractable problem classes, etc.
- Proof systems and inference methods underlying solvers.
- Comparisons of different languages or methods
- Interesting applications, either as case studies or challenges
- Benchmark problems and instance collections
