[DMANET] Postdoctoral Research Position: Maintenance Optimization for Rail Infrastructure Systems

The University of Newcastle, Australia, invites expressions of
interest for a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in the area of theory
and algorithms for the optimization of maintenance of rail
infrastructure systems for coal and iron exports, starting in
September 2015, or as soon as possible subject to applicant
availability.

Fellowships are available for 1 or 2 years, with possible 1-year
extensions. The salary will be in the range of AU$79,541-$85,382 per
annum, depending on the skills and experience of the applicant. There
is also provision for a relocation allowance, and for additional funds
to support travel to conferences both overseas and within Australia
during the period of the fellowship.

The successful applicant will hold a PhD in operations research,
engineering, mathematics, computer science, or a related discipline.
Strong optimization and computer programming skills are essential. A
knowledge of mixed integer programming and/or metaheuristics would be
an asset. Additionally candidates are encouraged to highlight broad
experience with modelling or assessment of complex networks,
infrastructure asset management or resource management .

Expressions of interest are preferred before August 1, 2015, however
later interest will be considered until the position is filled. To
express your interest in a fellowship please send your CV, together
with an academic transcript showing details of all courses you have
taken, the grades you were awarded, an interpretation of those grades,
and the names and contact details of at least two people who can
provide confidential references, to the contact person at the address
shown below. If your transcript is not in English, please provide an
English translation. Please feel free to include a link to your PhD
thesis, and/or include other publications in your email. Include
details of your computer programming skills and experience, your
optimization training and background, and any experience you have with
modelling and solving industrial problems. Please also indicate your
possible start dates.

The project will be funded under an Australia Research Council (ARC)
Linkage Grant with industry support from Aurizon
(http://www.aurizon.com.au/), Australia's largest rail freight
operator. Coal and iron ore export supply chains critically depend on
the transport capacity provided by Australia's rail infrastructure.
Increasingly so, because coal and iron ore export supply chains are
literally getting longer: mineral bodies closer to ports have been
exploited first, and as these become exhausted, supply chains are
stretching further to reach harder-to-get-at resources. Combined with
increasing export volumes, this makes intelligent, efficient, and
effective management of this critical piece of infrastructure vitally
important. Maintenance plays a crucial role in the management of rail
infrastructure as it ensures that infrastructure components, e.g.,
track, signals, and rail crossings, are in a condition that allows
safe, reliable, and efficient transport. This project will
investigate the key planning activities in preventive maintenance of
rail infrastructure systems, and seek to develop effective
optimization algorithms for their solution.

The postdoctoral fellow will join a research team of faculty, research
fellows and PhD students working on this project. The project also
involves international research collaborations with Professors
Natashia Boland and Martin Savelsbergh (Georgia Tech) and Yanfeng
Ouyang (University of Illinois).

The University of Newcastle is a major research university in
Australia, increasingly recognized internationally as a rapidly
emerging educational institution. The main campus is located in the
city of Newcastle: on the coast about two hours drive north from
Sydney. The School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences provides a
stimulating and supportive environment for research and teaching, with
ample opportunities for collaborative research partnerships both
within the university and with industry. Although well known for its
beautiful beaches and pleasant climate, Newcastle is home to
Australia's (and the world's) largest coal exporting port. Newcastle
is also at the gateway of one of Australia's largest wine-growing
regions, the Hunter valley. Thus opportunities for research in
shipping, transportation, and mineral resources abound.

The School includes a strong group in Operations Research, with a
number of faculty, research fellows, and current PhD students working
in areas such as mixed integer programming, mixed integer nonlinear
programming, supply chain logistics, and transportation optimization.
The group has strong collaborations with colleagues in computer
science working with evolutionary algorithms. It also has close
research links with first-class international institutions and
excellent support from industry and government research funding.

SCOPE:

Smart Sensor protocols and algorithms make use of several methods and techniques (such as machine learning techniques, decision making techniques, knowledge representation, network optimization, problem solution techniques, and so on), to establish communication between network devices. They can be used to perceive the network conditions, or the user behavior, in order to dynamically plan, adapt, decide, take the appropriate actions, and learn from the consequences of their actions. The algorithms can make use of the information gathered from the protocol in order to sense the environment, plan actions according to the input, take consciousness of what is happening in the environment, and take the appropriate decisions using a reasoning engine. Goals such as decide which scenario fits best its end-to-end purpose, or environment prediction, can be achieved with smart protocols and algorithms.

[DMANET] PhD position in Operational Research applied to logistics, Le Havre, France

NOTE : second call for PhD candidates, be careful to the short delay.


The LITIS laboratory of le Havre university offers a financed PhD
position in logistics starting in october 2015. The candidate should
possess (or terminate) a master in computer sciences, with skills in OR
and/or AI.

See below the description of the subject.

Application files should be sent by e-mail to the three supervisors,
Stefan Balev, Antoine Dutot, an Eric Sanlaville (see email addresses in
this mail header). They should contain: CV, marks from last two years,
motivation letter, possibly recommendation letters. The file can be
entirely in English.

The application files should be sent before Sunday, july 5th.

*Operational management of flows along a logistics corridor: application
to the Seine valley**
Supervisors:*Stefan Balev, Antoine Dutot, Eric Sanlaville (LITIS, Le
Havre University)*
Funding:*3 year grant, Le Havre University *
Keywords:*Decision making support, Artificial intelligence, Operational
Research, Logistics, Optimization under uncertainties

*Description:*Given data on transportation infrastructure of a
multi-modal logistic corridor (different supply chains, storage and
transport capacities, etc.) the goal is to check the feasibility of a
transportation plan for a given period of time, taking into account the
uncertainties of the travel time and the hazardsinherent to these
infrastructures (breakdowns, accidents and litigations). In case of
infeasibility, alternative transportation plans willbe computed, either
with better feasibility guarantee or with better cost.

This goal requires the use of a detailed multi-scale model of the
logistic corridor containing the different infrastructures and their
capacities, as well as data on the flows, their sources and
destinations. It also requires to work on planification tools at the
tactical level. The main challenge consists in proposing a tool of
operational management from collected data, able to modify the original
plan to adapt it to new conditions. This tool shall be based on robust
optimization, the study of dynamic systems and the techniques form
collective intelligence (specially the multi agent systems) developed
within the RI2C team of LITIS.

*Environment:*The student will benefit from the knowledge gained during
previous research projects on flow management and optimization in
logistics systems, and in particular two theses in progress: one on
spatial agent-based modeling of logistics stakeholders and another one
on flow optimization in extended seaport. The first thesis uses the
agent-based modeling tool Gama and the second one uses combinatorial
optimization tools such as CPLEX.

The thesis is part of the multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional
project CLASSE (Logistic corridors: application to the Seine valley and
its environment) funded by Haute Normandie region, France and Europe.

The RI2C (Interaction networks and swarm intelligence) team of LITIS
focuses its fundamental researcheson morpho-dynamics of interaction
networks using analysis and optimization methods from artificial
intelligence and operations research domains. An important feature of
complex systems is the large share of uncertainty in the models,
resulting in the need of robust solutions or policies to control these
systems. The main applications of this research are in domains such as
territorial intelligence, industrial risk management, ad-hoc
communication networks and logistics, in particular the analysis of
logistic networks along a logistic corridor such as the Seine axis.

*Skills and profile:*The candidate must have a degree (M. Sc., M. Eng.
or equivalent) in computer science with decision making support related
specialization. In addition to programming skills acquired in such a
curriculum, expertise on concepts and techniques is required in one of
the following domains: artificial intelligence and particularly
multi-agent systems or operations research (combinatorial optimization,
robust optimization). Knowledge in both areas (AI and OR) will be
privileged. Previous experience in GIS would be beneficial.

[DMANET] Call for papers: International Workshop on Hardware Accelerated Data Mining

Dear All,

We are organizing the International Workshop on Hardware Accelerated Data
Mining, in conjunction with ICDM 2015. IEEE International Conference on
Data Mining (ICDM) is one of the world's premier research conference in
data mining. You can find more details about the workshop here.
http://volga.usc.edu/hadm/

I am including the CFP.

==================================================
Call for papers:
International Workshop on Hardware Accelerated Data Mining (HADM'15) to be
held with IEEE International Conference on Data Mining
14 November 2015, Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA.
Website: http://www.usc.edu/hadm
==================================================

Data mining is expected to work on increasingly complex workloads (e.g.,
Petabytes of networked-data under real-time constraints) using emerging
hardware accelerators (e.g., commodity and specialized Multi-core, GPUs,
FPGAs, and ASICs) and corresponding programming models (e.g., MapReduce,
GraphLab, CUDA, OpenCL, and OpenACC). The use of hardware accelerators for
mining high-rate data streams is becoming common mainly due to the rapidly
increasing amount of data available for real-time analytics. The idea of
using special-purpose hardware to accelerate computation has a long
tradition in data processing but has thus far not made its way into
mainstream data mining. Many essential issues in this area have yet to be
explored. For instance, large-scale graph computations are commonplace in
many fields. However, this graph data is sparse and highly non-uniform.
Graph structure mining algorithms exhibit weak spatial locality when
processing graphs with power law distributions and such algorithms are
data-intensive and cache-hostile.

The aim of this workshop is to provide a venue for designers,
practitioners, researchers, developers, and industrial/governmental
partners to come together, present and discuss leading research results,
use cases, innovative ideas, challenges, and opportunities that arise from
accelerating mining of big data using new hardware, and identify future
directions and challenges in this area.

Topics of Interest

Topics of interests include but are not limited to:

Algorithms, models, and theory of hardware accelerated data mining
Hardware accelerated data mining systems and platforms
Scalable algorithms & architectures for Machine learning over
structured, semi-structured, spatio-temporal, graph, streaming, data
Domain-Specific Languages for hardware synthesis of data mining
applications
Novel data mining algorithms optimized for massively parallel
architectures
Hardware acceleration of data mining in applications from different
domains, including social science, bioinformatics, and smart grids

Key dates:

Due date for full workshop papers: July 20, 2015 Notification of workshop
papers acceptance to authors: September 1, 2015 Camera-ready deadline for
accepted papers: September 10, 2015 Workshop date: November 14, 2015

**********************************************************************

--- Early registration deadline: July 3, 2015 ---

**********************************************************************

AIM:

InfoSec 2015 will be a major research training event addressed to graduates
and postgraduates in the first steps of their academic career. With a global
scope, it aims at updating them about the most recent advances in the
critical and fast developing area of information security, which covers a
large spectrum of current exciting academic research and industrial
innovation. It refers to procedures to defend information from unauthorized
access, use, modification, recording or destruction, with a critical role to
play in order to avoid or minimize risks in the digital world. Renowned
academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the
audience.

Most information security subareas will be displayed, namely: computer
security, cryptography, privacy, cyber security, mobile security, network
security, world wide web security, fraud prevention, data protection, etc.
Main challenges of information security will be identified through 3 keynote
lectures, 23 six-hour courses, and 1 round table, which will tackle the most
active and promising topics. The organizers believe outstanding speakers
will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction will be
a main component of the event. An open session will give participants the
opportunity to present their own work in progress in 5 minutes.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduates and postgraduates from around the world. There are no formal
pre-requisites in terms of academic degrees. However, since there will be
differences in the course levels, specific background knowledge may be
required for some of them.

InfoSec 2015 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep
themselves updated on recent developments and future trends. They will
surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers,
industry leaders and innovators.

Graphical security models provide an intuitive but systematic
methodology to analyze security weaknesses of systems and to evaluate
potential protection measures. Such models have been subject of
academic research and they have also been widely accepted by the
industrial sector, as a means to support and facilitate threat
analysis and risk management processes. The objective of GraMSec is to
contribute to the development of well-founded graphical security
models, efficient algorithms for their analysis, as well as
methodologies for their practical usage.

* Camera Ready Version: September 5, 2015

========================================================================

Scope: Organizations are increasingly concerned about the privacy of
information that they manage (several people have filed lawsuits
against organizations violating the privacy of customer's data). Thus,
the management of privacy-sensitive information is very critical and
important for every organization. This poses several challenging
problems, such as how to translate the high-level business goals into
system-level privacy policies, administration of privacy-sensitive
data, privacy data integration and engineering, privacy access control
mechanisms, information-oriented security, and query execution on
privacy-sensitive data for partial answers.

Topics: The aim of this workshop is to discuss and exchange the ideas
related to privacy data management. We invite papers from researchers
and practitioners working in privacy, security, trustworthy data
systems and related areas to submit their original papers in this
workshop. The main topics, but not limited to, include:

* Privacy Information Management
* Privacy Policy-based Infrastructures and Architectures
* Privacy-oriented Access Control Languages and Models
* Privacy in Trust Management
* Privacy in Digital Currencies
* Privacy Data Integration
* Privacy Risk Assessment and Assurance
* Privacy Services
* Cryptography and Cryptanalysis
* Privacy Policy Analysis
* Query Execution over Privacy Sensitive Data
* Privacy Preserving Data Mining
* Hippocratic and Water-marking Databases
* Privacy for Integrity-based Computing
* Privacy Monitoring and Auditing
* Privacy in Social Networks
* Privacy in Ambient Intelligence (AmI) Applications
* Individual Privacy vs. Corporate/National Security
* Privacy in computer networks
* Privacy and RFIDs
* Privacy and Big Data
* Privacy in sensor networks

========================================================================

Submission guidelines: Full papers should be at most 16
pages (using 11-point font), including the bibliography. Position
papers, as well as shoort papers, should be at most 8
pages (using 11-point font), including the bibliography. Authors
should indicate whether their paper is a position paper to
differentiate them from regular ones (just mention /position paper/
in the title). Program Committee members are not required to read
the appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them.
All submissions must be written in English.

Authors must submit their papers by the deadline indicated below,
using the EasyChair web site (at easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dpm2015)
and following the requirements stated there.

The submitted paper (in PDF format) should follow the template
indicated by Springer (see http://springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
It must start with a title, a short abstract, names and affiliations
of the authors, and a list of keywords.

All papers will be refereed. Accepted papers should be presented at
the Workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must register
to the workshop, by the early date indicated by the organizers, and
present the paper.

As in previous editions, the proceedings are expected to be published
in a volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series of Springer.

Submissions by PhD students as well as controversial ideas are
encouraged. Case studies (successful or not) are also encouraged.
