Call for papers - IEEE/WIC/ACM International Workshop on Graphs and Complex Object Matching (G-COM 2011)
by Kheddouci 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Dear colleagues and friends, Apologies for multiple copies received. Please distribute it to interested colleagues, students, and mailing lists. Lots of thanks for your great help! Sincerely, Hamamache Kheddouci ------------------------------------------------------------- C A L L F O R P A P E R S ------------------------------- The 2011 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Workshop on Graphs and Complex Object Matching (G-COM 2011) http://gcom2011.univ-lyon1.fr/ Conjointly with WI-IAT 2011 22 - 27 August 2011 Lyon France http://wi-iat-2011.org/ Objectives Applications such as digital libraries, mediation systems or architectures based on Web services produce huge amounts of data that lead to the generation of a large number of models that are to be stored and accessible by users (customers) by means of suitable query interfaces. These models which describe complex objects such as documents, business processes or ontologies related to specific areas of knowledge are usually represented by graphs. Most applications that handle such models use graph techniques such as the matching process to access data by exploring structural and semantic properties of these graphs. Furthermore, the graph matching is one of the known hard problems in graph theory and optimization. Several algorithms and heuristics have been developed for exact and inexact matchings, embedding and packing of graphs on general graphs and/or graph classes. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together different communities of academic and industrial researchers working on problems of matching of graph models. Discussions will be held on theoretical and applied aspects of these problems. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): . Graph matching and Web service . Graph matching and ontologies . Graph matching and document matching (XML,.) . Graph matching and semantic Web . Graph matching and business process . Graph indexing . Graph mining . Graph embedding/packing . Graph isomorphism/homomorphism . Graph decomposition . Graph similarity measures . Tools for matching . Query languages for complex object discovery . Resource discovery and matching . Techniques and algorithms for information filtering and indexing . User profile matching for personalization . Matchings in bioinformatics, social networks,. . . Important dates: . Paper submission: March 21, 2011 . Notification of acceptance/rejection: June 1, 2011 . Camera-ready copy due: June 22, 2011 . Workshop: August 22, 2011 Submission: Papers reporting original and unpublished research results and experience are solicited. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Submissions should include abstract, key words, the e-mail address of the corresponding author, and must not exceed 4 pages of two columns, including tables and figures. Submissions imply the willingness of at least one author to register, attend the workshop, and present the paper. Submissions to G-COM'2011 are conducted only electronically. Authors should upload their manuscripts in the PDF or DOC formats through the Submission page at http://wi-iat-2011.org/.

If you would like to submit a paper for the stream, please visit http://www.euro-online.org/conf/ifors2011/ and use invitation code 7cedb321 If (even better!) you would like to organize a full session of 3-4 papers, please contact me directly. Best regards, Bernard Fortz --- Call for Papers 19th Triennial Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies 10th – 15th July, 2011 Melbourne, Australia World OR: Global Economy and Sustainable Environment Recent natural catastrophes and man-made crises have underscored the inter-connectedness of our world. Any upheaval leads to momentous reverberations across the globe with impacts well into the future. Now more than ever, Operational Research is of strategic importance to address problems critical to the economy and the environment. Academics and practitioners are invited to share their knowledge, experience and insights on theory, methodology and application of operational research to issues of vital concern to the global community. The Opening Plenary talk “Optimal Choice Sets: How tightly should we regulate?” will be given by Sir James Mirrlees, Trinity College, Cambridge, Nobel laureate in Economics 1996. Abstract Submission now open: Papers on all aspects of Operational Research are invited. Authors wishing to present are requested to submit an abstract of not more than 100 words via the Abstract Submission system at: http://www.euro-online.org/conf/ifors2011/ Abstract Submission deadline: 31st January, 2011 The scientific program includes over 50 invited streams covering all aspects of Operations Research, see the Program section of the conference webpage: http://www.ifors2011.org.

2nd Winter School on Network Optimization
by Bernard Fortz 05 May '10

05 May '10

The 2nd edition of the Winter School on Network Optimization (http://NetOpt2011.fc.ul.pt) is organized by the Centro de Investigação Operacional (CIO) (http://cio.fc.ul.pt) University of Lisbon, and will take place at Hotel Sana, Estoril, from the 17th to the 21st of January, 2009. The Winter School is one of the major activities of the European Network Optimization Group (http://www.euro-online.org/enog/) and it intends to provide an opportunity for PhD students to get together and - Masquer le texte des messages précédents - attend high level courses in the field of Network Optimization. The event is also endorsed by APDIO (the Portuguese OR society). Non-PhD students are welcome to attend the school, but the number of participants is limited and priority will be given to PhD students. The first edition of the Winter School on Network Optimization, NetOpt2009, was a success and brought participants from 13 different countries.
