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.

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: 1) Full papers to be published in Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics (ENDM), Elsevier. The total length of these papers should be between 4 and 8 pages prepared in LaTeX according to the ENDM template, 2) Extended abstracts to be distributed in a CD during the conference only. The authors of the top INOC 2015 papers will be invited to prepare the extended versions of their papers for a special issue of Networks journal (Wiley). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Important dates: - Paper submission deadline: December 1, 2014 - 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.

Winter School in Network Optimization (last
by Luis Eduardo Neves Gouveia 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

The 4th edition of the Winter School on Network Optimization will take place at the Hotel Sana, Estoril, from the 12th to the 16th of January 2015. Its main objective is to provide an opportunity for PhD students to get together and attend high level courses in the field of Network Optimization. Non-PhD students are welcome to attend the school, but the number of participants is limited and priority will be given to PhD students. In this edition of the school, the lecturers and subjects to be addressed are: Bernard Gendron (Univ. Montréal): Decomposition methods for network design Adam Ouorou (Orange Labs): Robust optimization in telecommunications Gerhard Reinelt (Univ. Heidelberg): Ordering problems Giovanni Rinaldi (IASI): Maximum weight cuts in graphs and extensions Daniele Vigo (Univ. Bologna): Solution approaches for vehicle routing problems Since the first edition in 2009, the school has been part of the activities of the CIO (Centro de Investigação Operacional) University of Lisbon as well as of the ENOG (European Network Optimization Group). The event is also endorsed by the EURO (the Association of European Societies) and APDIO (the Portuguese OR society). Candidates are invited to submit their CVs to NetOpt2015(a)fc.ul.pt before the 5th of November 2014. After a short period of evaluation, the participants will be notified and be invited to register. More information is available at [[[http:NetOpt2015.fc.ul.pt]http:NetOpt2015.fc.ul.pt]http:NetOpt2015.fc.ul.pt]http:NetOpt2015.fc.ul.pt]http:NetOpt2015.fc.ul.pt.
