[DMANET] [Scheduling seminar] Pieter Smet (KU Leuven) | March 20 | Robustness in personnel rostering.

Dear scheduling researcher,

We are delighted to announce the talk given by Pieter Smet (KU Leuven).
The title is "Robustness in personnel rostering". The seminar will take
place on Zoom on Wednesday, March 20 at 14:00 UTC.

Join Zoom Meeting
https://cesnet.zoom.us/j/99775148608?pwd=UkgwT25wRXpHL1k3dzJhbkFqc2pkdz09

Meeting ID: 997 7514 8608
Passcode: 885832

You can follow the seminar online or offline on our Youtube channel as
well:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUoCNnaAfw5NAntItILFn4A

The abstract follows.
In this talk, we study the problem of generating personnel rosters that
are robust with respect to disruptions caused by employee absenteeism.
If an employee unexpectedly becomes absent, they must be replaced by
another employee. This in turn may affect the working hours of other
employees, creating an undesirable ripple effect that changes a large
part of the roster. We investigate how making use of on-call duties may
avoid such large perturbations. We begin by first introducing a metric
to quantify the robustness of a roster, which is then used to generate
sufficiently robust rosters. In the second part of this talk, we discuss
the conditions under which machine learning can lead to better
solutions. A novel methodology is presented to determine the minimum
prediction performance required to outperform the non-data-driven
rostering approach.

The next talk in our series will be:

André Rossi (Universite PSL) | April 3 | Maximizing stability of
assembly line balancing schedules under uncertain task duration

information technology. Quantum technology has demonstrated its ability to
introduce applications with no equivalent in the classical realm, marking a
breakthrough towards an unimaginable future. The establishment of
connections between the quantum source node and destination node using
quantum hardware and devices facilitates qubit transmissions, which in turn
enables advancements in quantum computing, artificial intelligence and
cryptography and further services and applications. Envisioned as a
transformative force, quantum services are anticipated to span the globe,
leveraging quantum terrestrial components, satellites, airplanes, ships,
and other vehicles. The quantum future holds the promise of nearly
unconditional security, super-computing power, large capacity, even at high

*    Call for nominations:
    3rd IGAFIT Workshop for Algorithms Postdocs in Europe (AlgPiE by
IGAFIT 2024)
    September 15 – 20, 2024, Dagstuhl, Germany*

The IGAFIT (http://igafit.mimuw.edu.pl/) is organizing the /*3rd IGAFIT
Workshop for Algorithms Postdocs in Europe (AlgPiE by IGAFIT 2024)*/,
and we are seeking nominations for participation in this event. As we
did it for AlgPiE 2019 (https://igafit.mimuw.edu.pl/igafit-workshop/)
and AlgPiE 2022 (https://www.algpie.com/algpie-2022), we would like the
algorithmic community to help us with bringing all good and active
postdoctoral researchers in Europe and Israel working in algorithms and
related topics.

The goal of the /3rd IGAFIT Workshop for Algorithms Postdocs in Europe
(AlgPiE by IGAFIT 2024)/ follows the success of the first two events in
the series and aims to provide a forum for a meeting of leading European
(including Israel) and international young researchers in algorithms
(incl. data structures, some hardness results,
online/distributed/dynamics/graph/approximation/randomized/parallel/.../
algorithms, combinatorial optimization, algorithmic game theory, some
complexity, etc), to present the highlights of the recent developments
in algorithms, to discuss advances in this area, and to discuss joint
research projects and joint research initiatives. The workshop will
offer a wide picture of the latest research in algorithms done by young
researchers through a series of research talks and the attendance in the
workshop will give also an opportunity for networking and to meet fellow
young algorithmic researchers. An important aim of this initiative is to
provide the European algorithmic community a forum for the next
generation of research leaders, and with this to integrate and support
the European research community in algorithms.

*Location:*
The event will take place in Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for
Informatics, Dagstuhl, Germany (https://www.dagstuhl.de/), September 15
– 20, 2024.

*Eligibility:*
We are seeking nominations for participation in this event.
We would like to see a broad spectrum of leading post-doctoral
researchers in algorithms and the main eligibility criteria are active
research and publications in algorithms (data structures, some hardness
results,
online/distributed/dynamics/graph/approximation/randomized/parallel/.../
algorithms, combinatorial optimization, etc) and a post-doc (or
equivalent) status in September 2024.
While we're mainly focusing on European and Israeli affiliated
participants, we're welcoming nominations of all international
algorithmic post-docs interested in contributing to algorithmic research
in Europe/Israel.
Unlike in the previous years, this time we have hard capacity limit (25
slots in total) and so we will likely have to prioritize the nominations
(e.g., on the basis of research quality etc).

[DMANET] [DEADLINE EXTENSION] - SNTA’24 The Seventh International Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP.

The Seventh International Workshop on Systems and Network Telemetry and Analytics (SNTA 2024)
Pisa, Italy, June 3 - 4, 2024 in conjunction with ACM HPDC 2024
https://sntaworkshop.github.io/2024/

Submission link
https://snta24.hotcrp.com/paper/new

Submission deadline
March 31, 2024

The tasks of systems and network telemetry are vital for effective operations and management of HPC and distributed computing systems by offering comprehensive measurement and analysis capabilities to provide visibility into what is occurring at any time. The tasks will be significantly complicated with the greater complexity of computing systems, increasing network speed, and the newly introduced mobile and IoT devices. Such changes will render the existing telemetry and analysis techniques outdated, and more scalable techniques may be in place for data-driven and deeper data analysis. In addition to the quantitative and qualitative challenges, data pressure in systems and networks also comes from various sources such as sensors, computing systems, networking and security devices, and other emerging computing elements speaking with different syntax and semantics, which makes organizing and incorporating the generated data difficult for extensive analysis. This workshop aims at bridging the systems and network measurement and the latest advances in artificial intelligence and data science technologies to advance the performance and reliability of HPC and distributed systems. New analysis techniques are needed in the modern world from the diverse angles of systems/network performance, availability, and security. For example, real-time streaming analytics algorithms and methods need to be explored for estimating network performance and summarizing the traffic variables to capture the network activities due to the network bandwidth increase. Multivariate analysis of telemetric variables may provide an intuitive, comprehensive view of the systems and network dynamics. New logging techniques are also needed with the latest developments in storage and archival technologies. In addition, many applications in this area may need to address the application-specific requirements and challenges. This workshop intends to share visions of investigating new approaches and methods at the intersection of data sciences and HPC/distributed computing systems.

Topics of Interest (but not limited to)

• Systems and network measurement, analysis, and summarization
• Data-driven, multivariate, streaming-based data processing
• Scalable distributed and federated machine learning
• Performance modeling, analysis, and optimization
• Cybersecurity, forensics, privacy, and anonymization
• Intelligent workflow, visualization, and applications
• Smart instruments, edge/fog-systems, and IoTs
• Wireless, sensor, 5G/6G networks measurement and analysis
• Software/Knowledge-Defined-* technologies
• Advances in network and storage technologies
• Design and evaluation of HPC and distributed systems
• Best practices and implementations tied to systems/network data analysis

Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Authors are invited to submit either a full (max 8 pages) paper or a short/work-in-progress (max 5 pages) paper. Papers will be peer-reviewed, and accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings as part of the ACM digital library.

[DMANET] M-PREF 2024: CALL FOR PAPERS

======================================================================
M-PREF 2024: CALL FOR PAPERS
======================================================================

15th Multidisciplinary Workshop on Advances in Preference Handling

October 19 or 20, 2023, Santiago de Compostela, Spain
in conjunction with ECAI 2024

https://mpref2024.mpref.org

======================================================================
Submission deadline: May 15, 2024
======================================================================

TOPICS

The workshop on Advances in Preference Handling addresses all
computational aspects of preference handling. This includes methods
for the elicitation, learning, modeling, representation, aggregation,
and management of preferences and for reasoning about preferences. The
workshop studies the usage of preferences in computational tasks from
decision making, database querying, web search, personalized human-
computer interaction, personalized recommender systems, e-commerce,
multi-agent systems, game theory, social choice, combinatorial
optimization, planning and robotics, automated problem solving,
perception and natural language understanding and other computational
tasks involving choices. The workshop seeks to improve the overall
understanding of and best methodologies for preferences in order to
realize their benefits in the multiplicity of tasks for which they are
used. Another important goal is to provide cross-fertilization between
the numerous sub-fields that work with preferences.

- Preference handling in artificial intelligence
- Preference handling in database systems
- Preference handling in multiagent systems
- Applications of preferences
- Preference elicitation and learning
- Preference representation and modeling
- Properties and semantics of preferences
- Practical preferences

FORMAT

The program will consist of presentations of peer-reviewed papers,
panel discussions about future challenges, and an invited talk.

SUBMISSION

We invite interested researchers to submit papers on any computational
aspect of preference handling. Submissions should be formatted
according to the ECAI formatting instructions and not exceed 7 pages
(plus 1 extra page for references).

The purpose of workshop presentations is to get early feedback on new
ideas and to stimulate discussions between researchers interested in
preference handling. As such, there will be no formal proceedings, but
we may post accepted papers on the workshop website for the benefit of
the workshop participants if the authors agree to this and the paper
has not already been published.

Original submissions: Submissions about unpublished ideas will be
reviewed by a double-blind process and should be anonymous.

Multiple submissions: Authors who are seeking a broader forum for
already published work and who are interested in giving a
presentation to the workshop's audience may submit their work
non-anonymously while indicating where this work has been
published. We will only accept work which has been published in
the last calendar year (e.g., ECAI 2023, AAAI 2024, and any
conference held after May 2023).

Transferred papers: In addition to regular paper submissions, we
also consider accepting papers rejected from the main
conference. Decisions about acceptance of these transferred
papers will be based on the reviews of the ECAI PC.
