If you are in the field of computer security it might be of interest for you. **************************************************** ESORICS 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS 15th European Symposium on Research in Computer Security Hotel AMARILIA, Vouliagmeni, Athens, Greece 20-22 September 2010 www.esorics2010.org **************************************************** ESORICS is the annual European research event in Computer Security. The Symposium started in 1990 and has been held in several European countries, attracting a wide international audience from both the academic and industrial communities. Papers offering novel research contributions in computer security aresolicited for submission to the Symposium. The primary focus is on original, high quality, unpublished research and […]

SIGIR is the major international forum for the presentation of new research results and for the demonstration of new systems and techniques in the broad field of information retrieval (IR). The Conference and Program Chairs invite all those working in areas related to IR to submit original papers, posters, and proposals for tutorials, workshops, and demonstrations of systems. SIGIR 2010 welcomes contributions related to any aspect of IR theory and foundation, techniques, and applications. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: Document Representation and Content Analysis (e.g., text representation, document structure, linguistic analysis, non-English IR, cross-lingual IR, information extraction, […]

This is a picture I always partly draw myself on the blackboard during my lectures, but the complete one is much more impressive. I found it on a Cambridge web page that describes Tim Gowers’ lecture on computational complexity and quantum computation.

This is the call for papers for ICALP 2010, a pleasant conference in a nice venue, specially if you love wine, hu, good science… 😉 The website for the conference can be found here. The 37th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming, the main conference and annual meeting of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS), will take place from the 5th to the 12th of July 2010 in Bordeaux, France. The main conference will be preceded and followed by a series of Workshops. Papers presenting original research on all aspects of theoretical computer science are sought. Typical […]

I am involved in this new conference so here is the call for papers… The management of large-scale complex industrial systems has a considerable strategic importance for an important number of enterprises (most notably in Europe and North America). This spawned the relatively new academic field of « system architecture & engineering », producing a body of research that allows engineers to manage the increasing complexity of the technical systems they design. By its very nature, this field is at the interface between industry and academia, and requires its practitioners to be well versed in industrial application-related as well as theoretical knowledge. […]

Electronic Commerce (EC for short) is one of these conferences that mix algorithmic together with business oriented problems (bidding strategies for instance). The call for for EC 2010 is out, you can find it here. Here is a copy… PAPER SUBMISSION The conference is soliciting full papers (as well as workshop and tutorial proposals; see below) on all aspects of electronic commerce. Submitted papers will be evaluated on significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. They should clearly establish the research contribution, its relevance to electronic commerce, and its relation to prior research. Submissions to be considered for publication in the […]

Sometimes writing a paper can be a real pain in the neck, but the worst is when it is a pain to actually submit a paper. Sometimes conference management systems are really strict. This is for instance the case of EDAS. If you submit a paper using EDAS, maybe you will read this: The PDF file uses PDF version 1.4, however only 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 is allowed. it means that you hve to convert your PDF file to a more recent version of PDF. It took me half an hour to find a way to do that, so here is […]

For more information, you should go on the conference website. It’s in Australia, a very nice venue! Tremendous advances in processing, communication and systems/middleware technologies are leading to new paradigms and platforms for computing, ranging from computing Clusters to widely distributed Grid and emerging Clouds. CCGrid is a series of very successful conferences, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) and ACM, with the overarching goal of bringing together international researchers, developers, and users and to provide an international forum to present leading research activities and results on a broad range of topics related to […]

A few years ago, I worked together with Yves Verhoeven on the problem of testing triangular properties. We did some proofs, wrote a few pages but decided not to publish our work (since it is far from being optimal, and also far from being really interesting). However I think that this is worth a few lines in this blog. It is clearly more technical than the average post of my blog, so don’t force yourself into reading it. Let be the complete graph on vertices and be a set. Let be a function, and let be a real number. We […]

Here is a brute force copy of a part of the call for papers for WWW2010, probably the most famous conference in the field. The complete call for papers is here. WWW2010, the premier international conference on Web research, calls for outstanding submissions along the following tracks: Original and creative research papers, theoretical and/or practical “Application and experience” papers involving novel, large, deployed systems Tutorial proposals on any topic of interest to the community Workshop proposals on any topic that is strongly related to WWW, but too nascent to cover thoroughly in the main conference Demonstrations of potentially high-impact, innovative […]
