15 Jan '16

SUMMER GRADUATE SCHOOL IMUS- MSRI-2016 MIXED INTEGER NONLINEAR PROGRAMMING: THEORY, ALGORITHMS AND APPLICATIONS SEVILLE (SPAIN), JUNE 20TH- JULY 1ST, 2016. This school is an exceptional event that will take place once and it is oriented to the presentation of theory, algorithms and applications for the solution of MIXED INTEGER NONLINEAR PROBLEMS (MINLP). Its goal is to present, in a unified way, the current theory together with the more recent algorithms designed to address some families of problems; we will also introduce the participants to the use of specific solvers devoted to formulate and to solve instances of these problems. The lecturers will start with basic concepts, in order to be interesting for beginners, finalizing discussing advanced topics of this emerging area of mathematical optimization. This school is intended for PhD students and young researchers (a maximum of 30) who wish to advance knowledge or to gain expertise in this specific field. MSRI and the local organizers will select a number of candidates (between 20-25) that will receive a grant to support their expenses to attend the school. The registration deadline is February 20^th^, 2016. LECTURERS: JEFF LINDEROTH, University of Wisconsin-Madisson, USA. ROBERT WEISMANTEL, ETH Zurich, Switzerland. The program activities is organized in two lectures taught in the mornings Lectures: 1. The Theory of Mixed Integer Non-linear Programming. (Robert Weismantel, ETH Zurich, Switzerland.) 2. Modeling aspects and applications of Mixed Integer Non-linear programming. (Jeff Linderoth, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.) Problem solving and applications sessions will be organized during the afternoon, and led by the TAs. These sessions will be devoted to working on problem sets, on real life applications, and on various projects developed by the students. Lab sessions with available MINLP solvers will also be included. A cornerstone of the program is having students’ presentations about basic topics in the field. This allows students, even those with a more limited background, to work with source materials, and to practice lecturing about what they learn. We will ask students to prepare short (25-30 minute) talks on research papers of their choice. We will guide them in the preparation of their talk, as well as provide constructive criticisms of their presentation. The Course will be held at IMUS, the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Seville, from June 20th till July 1^st^, 2016 (http://www.imus.us.es/IMUS-MSRI2016/es/ ) and will be co-organized by the MSRI (Berkeley), the IMUS Universidad de Sevilla and it is partially supported by EURO. The course has been approved by the MRSI board and additional information is available at http://www.msri.org/summer_schools/773 . LOCAL ORGANIZERS: _FRANSCISCO J. CASTRO_, Universidad de Sevilla, Spain. _ELENA FERNÁNDEZ_, Universidad Politécnica Cataluña, Spain. _JUSTO PUERTO_, Universidad de Sevilla, Spain.

Dear friends, The organizing committee of Land-Translog III would very much appreciate if this CFA could be sent to ENOG members. Please, let me know. Best Regards, Vlad Vladimir Marianov Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile Call for Abstracts LAND - TRANSLOG III Joint Workshop on Location and Network Design - Transportation and Logistic Santa Cruz, Chile. March 13 - 17, 2016 www.land-translog.cl<http://www.land-translog.cl/> The Complex Engineering Systems Institute (ISCI) has the pleasure to announce the Workshop LAND - TRANSLOG III, a special joint workshop, which is a continuation of a series of previous successful events that were held in 2009 and 2011 in Chile, and invites you to submit an abstract. The goal of the first LAND workshop, held in March 2009, was to gather together researchers in the fields of Location and Network Design. In parallel, the TRANSLOG Workshop, organized in December 2009, focused on Transportation and Logistics. However, it included topics that overlapped with those in the LAND Workshop, and attracted people that would feel comfortable attending both workshops. In December 2011 we took one more step in promoting interaction and exchange of ideas among people coming from the two fields, and organized the joint event LAND-TRANSLOG II, which was very successful in exploring common interests and learning how researchers from other fields address the same or similar problems. In 2013, our group also organized the last TRISTAN Conference in the North of Chile. After that effort, and with the intention of keeping continuity in this interaction of very interesting and fruitful research topics, we decided to organize a new version of the LAND - TRANSLOG series, to be held in the Hotel Santa Cruz Plaza, in the beautiful town of Santa Cruz-Chile, in March 13 - 17 next year. Presentations are encouraged focusing on theory, modeling or applications of Location and Network Design, including but not limited to Health, Energy, Telecommunications, Retail, Natural Resources, Environment, etc.; presentations dealing with methodology, including exact methods, heuristics and simulation are also welcome. From the transport and logistics side, the workshop will include topics spanning classic problems in transportation and logistics, planning and control strategies, fleet management, routing, timetabling and vehicle scheduling, crew scheduling, real-time optimization of operational schemes, among other areas of interest. Confirmed Speakers - Richard Church, University of California-Santa Barbara - Leandro Coelho, Université Laval, Quebec - Michel Gendreau, École Polythecnique de Montréal - Abilio Lucena, Universidad Federal do Rio de Janeiro - Vladimir Marianov, Pontifica Universidad Católica de Chile - Stefan Nickel, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology - George Nemhauser, Georgia Institute of Technology - Mikael Ronqvist, Université Laval, Quebec - Vedat Verter, McGill University, Montréal Important Dates & General Information - Abstract submission: October 20th, 2015 - Maximum abstract length: 500 words - Acceptance date: November 15th, 2015 - Workshop: March 13-17, 2015 - Early Registration: January 10th, 2015 - Venue: Hotel Santa Cruz Plaza, Santa Cruz, Chile - Abstract submission and more information: www.land-translog.cl<http://www.land-translog.cl/> ________________________________ (Please feel free to re-distribute this call.

Various web collaborative portals, blogs, wikis, video publishing services (youtube), ecommerce sites (eBay), social networking sites (Facebook) sensor networks, smart phones users exchanging multimedia as well as IT systems collaborating with one another in most organisations are good example of networks that require new adequate analytical methods. The aim of the annual European Network Intelligence Conference (ENIC) is to create an open premier forum to exchange knowledge and experience as well as to discuss recent advances, theories, and techniques related to both various types of networks and intelligent analytical computational methods. Every edition of the conference will focus on only few selected more specific scientific domains - tracks. The second event will include two such tracks: Social network and social media analysis, and Intelligent Methods for Optimization of Communication Networks. The tracks will bring together the research groups from the specified disciplines, along with many of the e-commerce companies interested in applications of the intelligent tools in their products. The track will enable researchers and practitioners to present their latest research and identify challenges in recommendation systems. The special interest will be focused on the design cooperation platform for academia and industry. Initially, the conference will be led and hosted by the ENGINE Centre and partnering organisations and substantially supported by the Seventh Framework Programme, however, we hope to create a wider active ENIC community for the future Since ENIC 2015 is sponsored by the ENGINE Project, authors of up to 50 best accepted papers will be registered free of charge; one author per paper.

The fundamental objective of this emerging interdisciplinary field is to propose predictive models of these processes and phenomena in these networks that are characterized as adaptive, interdependent, unpredictable, nonlinear, and dynamic. From this perspective, a fundamental question arises as how interdependent network systems can be designed to support unpredictable disturbance and unexpected changes when vulnerable to natural disasters, (un)voluntary disruptions, malfunctions, and changes in its usage patterns due to socio-economic or technological changes. The latter changes could also impact operations for system maintenance as operators running an infrastructure might operate differently than system design assumes. For this purpose, a better understanding of the aforementioned properties characterizing interdependent networks requires to first capture the fundamental interplay between sustainability, resilience and robustness. Workshop Objective: ------------------ Technical networks exhibit many inter-dependencies which are complex to measure and model but also lead to multi-objective decision problems where uncertainty becomes the transversal notion to capture. To this end, understanding the fundamental interplay between sustainability, resilience, and robustness becomes essential in order to rejuvenate and/or improve current design and evaluation methods that are currently unable to cope with this fundamental dimension. Topics: ------------------ Authors are invited to submit papers that describe state-of-the-art research, present work-in-progress, or suggest open problems covering one or more of the topics of interest to the workshop: - Case studies including natural disasters, (un)voluntary disruptions, malfunctions, failures, etc. in (inter-dependent) network infrastructure - Data analysis for inter-dependent networks: life stat. distributions, parametric and non-parametric methods, life data classification, competing failure modes analysis, multivariate data analysis - Quantitative methods, mathematical models, criteria and metrics for ecological network analysis - Robust optimization of large-scale (inter-dependent) networks - Robust decision methods for resilient (inter-dependent) networks - Stochastic optimal/adaptive control of energy-aware networks - Formal methods and mathematical models for network resiliency analysis at multiple time and space scale - Energy-aware resilient (inter-dependent) networks - Game theoretic and economic analysis of sustainability-vs-resilience trade-offs - Predictive simulation and uncertainty quantification ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Important dates: - Paper submission deadline: June 15, 2015 (extended, FIRM) - Notification deadline: July 10, 2015 - Camera-ready: July 25, 2015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We invite submissions (via EDAS) of original contributions of 4-8 pages, formatted according to the IEEE two-column conference template.

USRR'15 Munich: CFP - Sustainability, Resilience, and Robustness in networks (Workshop)
by jrak＠pg.gda.pl 07 May '15

07 May '15

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extended versions of top USRR 2015 papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of OPTICAL SWITCHING AND NETWORKING (Elsevier) http://www.journals.elsevier.com/optical-switching-and-networking/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accepted and presented papers are planned to be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers USRR 2015 3rd International Workshop on Understanding the inter-play between Sustainability, Resilience, and Robustness in networks co-located with RNDM 2015 October 7, 2015, Munich, Germany http://www.rndm.pl/2015/USRR/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper submission web page: https://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=20431 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Context: ------------------ Emerging network sciences (interdisciplinary science of networks of networks) aim at discovering/identifying, formalizing/representing and analyzing common processes and phenomena underlying physical, chemical, biological, communication, social and cognitive networks. The fundamental objective of this emerging interdisciplinary field is to propose predictive models of these processes and phenomena in these networks that are characterized as adaptive, interdependent, unpredictable, nonlinear, and dynamic. From this perspective, a fundamental question arises as how interdependent network systems can be designed to support unpredictable disturbance and unexpected changes when vulnerable to natural disasters, (un)voluntary disruptions, malfunctions, and changes in its usage patterns due to socio-economic or technological changes. The latter changes could also impact operations for system maintenance as operators running an infrastructure might operate differently than system design assumes. For this purpose, a better understanding of the aforementioned properties characterizing interdependent networks requires to first capture the fundamental interplay between sustainability, resilience and robustness. Workshop Objective: ------------------ Technical networks exhibit many inter-dependencies which are complex to measure and model but also lead to multi-objective decision problems where uncertainty becomes the transversal notion to capture. To this end, understanding the fundamental interplay between sustainability, resilience, and robustness becomes essential in order to rejuvenate and/or improve current design and evaluation methods that are currently unable to cope with this fundamental dimension. Topics: ------------------ Authors are invited to submit papers that describe state-of-the-art research, present work-in-progress, or suggest open problems covering one or more of the topics of interest to the workshop: - Case studies including natural disasters, (un)voluntary disruptions, malfunctions, failures, etc. in (inter-dependent) network infrastructure - Data analysis for inter-dependent networks: life stat. distributions, parametric and non-parametric methods, life data classification, competing failure modes analysis, multivariate data analysis - Quantitative methods, mathematical models, criteria and metrics for ecological network analysis - Robust optimization of large-scale (inter-dependent) networks - Robust decision methods for resilient (inter-dependent) networks - Stochastic optimal/adaptive control of energy-aware networks - Formal methods and mathematical models for network resiliency analysis at multiple time and space scale - Energy-aware resilient (inter-dependent) networks - Game theoretic and economic analysis of sustainability-vs-resilience trade-offs - Predictive simulation and uncertainty quantification ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important dates: - Paper submission deadline: May 27, 2015 - Notification deadline: June 25, 2015 - Camera-ready: July 10, 2015 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- We invite submissions (via EDAS) of original contributions of 4-8 pages, formatted according to the IEEE two-column conference template. Workshop Chairs: ----------------- - Dimitri Papadimitriou, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, BE - Bart Lannoo, iMinds, University of Ghent, BE - Heiko Niedermayer, TU Munich, DE

Call for PhD students - 5G anticipatory networks
by Antonio Capone 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Call for PhD students - 5G anticipatory networks We look for brilliant PhD students, we offer an exiting research program and a very competitive salary. Deadline: March 15 The rapid growth in mobile broadband network data lead to the unprecedented speed of 4G LTE deployment. The evolution calls for sustainable capacity growth and performance improvement in the next generation of wireless systems, namely 5G. The success of 5G heavily relies on delivering satisfactory user experience at a low operational cost. In this context, research and development (R&D) is required not only for technological innovation at the device level, but also management system design for the flexibility necessary to predict and adapt to network usage. To this end, anticipation is a promising and new approach. By predicting and adapting to upcoming events at various time scales, an anticipatory-enabled 5G network dramatically improves the operation quality and efficiency in comparison to the existing systems. Deploying anticipatory networking with effective prediction of network behaviour offers a twin advantage: First, resources ranging from spectrum and power to network interfaces buffers can be managed optimally. Second, network operators can jointly plan how to share infrastructure and resources to provide service with substantially reduced expenditure. The ACT5G project takes an inter-sector approach for anticipatory networking for 5G. The project fuses and integrates the scientific expertise of the participating academic sites with the industrial know-how of the consortium. The R&D core of ACT5G consists of models, methods, concepts, and algorithms for network anticipation and network reaction. The R&D tasks are carried out along with researcher training. The PhD training programme of ACT5G is designed the maximize the partners' synergy, to promote career opportunities of the ACT5G Early-Stage Researchers in the European ICT arena, and thus generate new expertise and human capital for the European Research Area. The ACT5G Consortium is starting the recruiting process for four PhD students as “Early-Stage Researchers” (ESRs) at Linköping University (LiU - Sweden) and Politecnico di Milano (Polimi - Italy), on the research area of Anticipatory Networking, aiming at predicting traffic and environment changes in order to optimize wireless network resources and operations. In particular the following four topics will be assigned to the recruited researchers: • ESR1: Network Data Analytics [Academic Site: Polimi] • ESR2: Wireless Link Status Anticipation [Academic Site: LiU] • ESR3: Resource & Management Optimization for Wireless Software-defined Networking [Academic Site: LiU] • ESR4: Performance and Enablers of Infrastructure and Resource Sharing [Academic Site: Polimi] Each post is funded for 36 Months by the EU under the rules of the MSCA ITN EID Scheme1 and provides a very competitive salary (3710 euro/month before taxes and social security fees, +600 euro/month if family obligations exist). The recruited researchers are required to • follow a PhD program at the respective academic sites and • spend 50% of their project involvement at Alcatel Lucent - Bell Labs, in Stuttgart, Germany.

Besides theoretical problems in graph theory, presented solutions are applicable to communication, transportation, and electrical grid networks. The authors are encouraged to submit via EDAS their papers describing original, previously unpublished research results, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and developments in the area of network optimization. Two types of publication of accepted papers will be offered: * Full papers (between 4 and 8 pages long) prepared in LaTeX according to the ENDM template, * Extended abstracts (2 pages long) prepared in LaTeX according to the CD-ROM proceedings template. Accepted full papers will be published in Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics (ENDM), Elsevier. Extended abstracts will be published in the conference materials on a CD-ROM. Additionally, the authors of top papers will be invited to prepare extended versions of their papers for a special issue of Networks journal (Wiley). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Important dates: - Paper submission deadline: December 15, 2014 (Extended, FIRM) - Notification deadline: February 2, 2015 - Camera-ready: February 16,2015 --------------------------------------------------------------------- INOC 2015 Organization: ----------------------- Conference Chair Michał Pióro, Warsaw University of Technology (PL), Lund University (SE) Conference Co-chairs Włodzimierz Ogryczak, Warsaw University of Technology (PL) Jacek Rak, Gdansk University of Technology (PL) Steering Committee - European Network Optimization Group (ENOG) Edoardo Amaldi, Politecnico di Milano (IT) Walid Ben-Ameur, Telecom SudParis (FR) Luis Gouveia, University of Lisbon (PT) Bernard Fortz, Universite Libre de Bruxelles (BE) Arie Koster, RWTH Aachen University (DE) Adam Ouorou, France Telecom R&D Division (FR) TPC Chair Artur Tomaszewski, Warsaw University of Technology (PL) TPC Co-chairs Roland Wessäly, atesio GmbH (DE) Mateusz Żotkiewicz, Warsaw University of Technology (PL) TPC Members E.
