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 ENGINE Centre will cover their participation, proceedings costs, coffee brakes and banquet but only if they will present in person their accepted paper during the conference.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Extended versions of top USRR 2015 papers of optical networking orientation 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: 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. Workshop Chairs: ----------------- - Dimitri Papadimitriou, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, BE - Bart Lannoo, iMinds, University of Ghent, BE - Heiko Niedermayer, TU Munich, DE
