[Fwd: [computational.science] ECAL2007 - Workshop - Machine Epigenesis 2007]
by Gustaf Neumann 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] ECAL2007 - Workshop - Machine Epigenesis 2007 Datum: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 13:05:11 -0800 Von: William R. Buckley <wrb(a)wrbuckley.com> Antwort an: <wrb(a)wrbuckley.com> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> [[[[ CALL FOR PAPERS ]]]] ECAL 2007 Workshop on Machine Epigenesis Lisbon, Portugal September 10, 2007 [[Motivation]] Creating a machine that exhibits life-like behavior has been the very core motivation of Artificial Life since its onset. Self-replication has remained the prime study since von Neumann, however, biological systems show a far wider range of generative hehavior, including differentiation and morphogenesis of multicellular structures from a single zygote, and adaptive de-differentiation and regeneration of parts in case of system failure. These characters remain largely missing in manmade, engineered systems, as well indicated by the late John Maynard-Smith in his writing: "One reason why we find it so hard to understand the development of form may be that we do not make machines that develop: often we understand biological phenomena only when we have invented machines with similar properties... [and] we do not make 'embryo' machines ..." - John Maynard-Smith, The Problems of Biology (1986) [[Workshop]] The Workshop on Machine Epigenesis aims to address this issue -- the means, methods and models of machine epigenesis. It is expected to establish a field of research on any constructional and epigenetic processes of machines and to initiate a collective effort of formalization of models of such epigenetic machines. Here a "machine" is broadly construed to include abstract automata, electro-mechanical devices, molecular structures, and any other physical or informational instantiation. Topics to be covered in the workshop include (but are not limited to): - Formal theories and abstract models of machine epigenesis - Theories of universal and non-universal constructors - Physical implementation of epigenetic machines - Self-replicating and self-repairing machines - Self-organization in modular and swarm robots - Biological analogs relevant to the realization of machine epigenesis - Philosophical and ethical issues in creating epigenetic machines - Extending the mechanist model of living systems - philosophy [[Format]] The workshop will be organized to provide an open opportunity for participation by any person engaged in relevant research, or who may have relevant opinion, all presented within the framework of an open forum discussion. During the discussion each submitted paper will be briefly presented in an informal setting (typically in 5~10 minutes) and then examined and debated. While the debate will take place between those researchers who submit papers, audience participation will be facilitated, primarily through comments and questions. [[paper Submission]] Readers are invited to submit a paper on original research or discussion on any aspect of machine epigenesis. Papers should be formatted following the guidelines for the ECAL 2007 proceedings (http://www.ecal2007.org/submissions.htm). Papers should not exceed 10 pages in length and must be made in PDF format. Papers should be submitted electronically by email addressed to both the program chairs. Submitted papers will be reviewed and judged by the Programme Committee members based on their relevance to the workshop and conference, originality, clarity of the presentation, and overall quality. [[Important Dates]] Paper submission deadline: April 9, 2007 Notification of acceptance: May 14, 2007 Camera-ready submissions: May 31, 2007 [[Proceedings]] Accepted papers will be included in the Workshop Proceedings CD-ROM that will be distributed to all ECAL 2007 attendees. It is also expected that workshop participants shall have the opportunity to publish a paper in a special issue of the International Journal of Unconventional Computing. Confirmation from the journal is pending. [[Program Chairs]] William R.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CALL FOR SPECIAL ISSUE PAPERS Datum: Wed, 7 Feb 2007 17:26:35 -0000 Von: Zidong Wang <Zidong.Wang(a)brunel.ac.uk> Antwort an: <Zidong.Wang(a)brunel.ac.uk> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Computer Mathematics (Taylor and Francis) Special Issue on Complex Networks Complex networks play an increasingly important role in our lives, including power grids, the Internet, transportation, co-operation, gene regulatory and artificial neural networks to name but a few. In fact, most of the things that drive our lives, like energy, information and even water, are delivered to us by a network structure. These networks are usually large, complex and structured in such a way that there can be important operational consequences due to the manner in which they behave over time. The complexity of the networks poses many challenges for scientists and engineers. In particular, advanced societies have apparently become dependent on large infrastructure networks to such an extent that it is difficult to plan and control these networks securely with our current capabilities. The recent spate of power grid failures and virus attacks on the Internet illustrate the need for research on modelling, analysis of behaviours, systems theory, planning and control in such networks. Numerous fundamental questions have been addressed about the connections between network structure and (nonlinear) dynamic properties including stability, bifurcations, controllability and other observable aspects. However, some major problems have not been fully investigated, such as the behaviour of stability, synchronization and chaos control for complex networks, as well as their applications in, for example, communication and bioinformatics. Complex networks have already become an ideal research area for control engineer, mathematicians, computer scientists, and biologists to manage, analyze, and interpret functional information from real-world networks. Sophisticated computer system theories and computing algorithms have been exploited or emerged in the general area of computer mathematics, such as analysis of algorithms, artificial intelligence, automata, computational complexity, computer security, concurrency and parallelism, data structures, knowledge discovery, DNA and quantum computing, randomisation, semantics, symbol manipulation, numerical analysis and mathematical software, etc. This special issue aims to bridge the gap between computer mathematics and network dynamics control. Topics include, but are not limited to the following aspects of complex networks: (1) modelling, analysis and control; (2) feature identification; (3) weighting and evolution; (4) synchronization and control; (5) Topology structure and dynamics; (6) Stability analysis; (7) robustness and fragility; (8) resource allocation and congestion control; (9) next generation of internet; (10) wireless Ad Hoc networks; (11) wireless sensor networks; and (12) biological, economic and social networks. Submission and Review Process This special issue will contain 5-6 papers. Potential authors should first submit an extended abstract via email to the guest editor by Feb. 28, 2007. Upon approval from the guest editor, the authors will be given the instruction on how to prepare and submit the papers.

[Fwd: [computational.science] Conference on Information Theoretic Security, Madrid - May 2007]
by Gustaf Neumann 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] Conference on Information Theoretic Security, Madrid - May 2007 Datum: Wed, 07 Feb 2007 12:26:47 +0100 Von: Cristina Alcaraz Tello <alcaraz(a)lcc.uma.es> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> *** Apologies for multiple copies *** C A L L F O R P A P E R S International Conference on Information Theoretic Security (ICITS) Madrid, Spain, May 25-29, 2007 http://www.escet.urjc.es/~matemati/maribel/ICITS/ITS07.htm **Note: Eurocrypt is May 20-24, 2007 in Barcelona, Spain. BACKGROUND: For the last years we have plenty of conferences and workshops on specialized topics in cryptography. Examples are CHES, FSE, PKC and TCC. The modern unclassified research on cryptography started with Shannon's work on cryptography using information theory. Since then we have seen several research topics studied requiring information theoretical security, also called unconditional security. Examples are anonymity, authenticity, reliable and private networks, secure multi-party computation, traitor tracing, etc. Moreover, we have also seen that coding as well as other aspects of information theory have been used in the design of cryptographic schemes. Seeing the multitude of topics in cryptography requiring information theoretical security or using information theory, it is time to have a regular conference on this topic. This was first realized by Prof. Imai (University of Tokyo, Japan). He organized the 2005 IEEE Information Theory Workshop on Theory and Practice in Information-Theoretic Security (ITW 2005, Japan) October 16-19, 2005. The goal is to continue this event on a regular basis. PROCEEDINGS: Post-conference proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Informal pre-proceedings will be available at the conference. TOPICS OF INTEREST: The topics of interest are on work on any aspect of information theoretical security, this means security based on information theory. This includes, but is not limited to the following topics: o Analysis of Security o Private and Reliable Networks o Anonymity o Public Key Cryptosystems using Codes o Authentication Codes o Quantum Cryptography o Conventional Cryptography using Codes o Quantum Information Theory o Fingerprinting o Randomness o Ideal Ciphers o Secret Sharing o Information Hiding o Secure Multiparty Computation o Key Distribution o Traitor Tracing o Oblivious Transfer NOTES: Papers on coding theory without any relationship with cryptography will be rejected. It is not the goal of this conference to become a second one on "Coding and Cryptography." Papers using computational complexity assumptions, except when using: information theoretic results or quantum arguments, will not be accepted. VENUE: Madrid is a city with a long history and very good airport connections. Its climate end of May is pleasantly warm. Madrid has good connections to the rest of the world and the rest of Spain, in particular Barcelona. More information on how to reach the venue by airplane or train will be provided later. Madrid is very close to Toledo, a small historical city worth visiting. INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: The paper must start with a title, an abstract and keywords, but should be anonymous. It should be followed by a succinct statement appropriate for a non-specialist reader specifying the subject addressed, its background, the main achievements, and their significance to information theoretic security. Technical details directed to the specialist should then follow. Self citations to unpublished work should be avoided to maintain the anonymity. A limit of 12 singlespaced pages of 11pt type (not counting the bibliography and clearly marked appendices) is placed on all submissions. The total paper must not exceed 20 pages. Since referees are not required to read the appendices, the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: Abstracts that have been or will be submitted in parallel to other conferences or workshops that have proceedings are not eligible for submission. One of the authors is expected to present the paper. The submission receipt deadline is February 23, 2007. Instructions on how to submit electronically will be posted soon on the event webpage and http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/Y.Desmedt/ICITS IMPORTANT DATES: Submission Deadline: February 23, 2007 Authors Informed: April 9, 2007 Preproceedings versions due: April 27, 2007 PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Carlo Blundo (University of Salerno, Italy) Gilles Brassard (University of Montreal, Canada) Ronald Cramer (CWI, The Netherlands) Yvo Desmedt, Chair (University College London, UK) Matthias Fitzi (Aarhus University, Denmark) Hideki Imai (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan) Kaoru Kurosawa (Ibaraki University, Japan) Keith Martin (Royal Holloway, UK) Rei Safavi-Naini (University of Wollongong, Australia) Doug Stinson (University of Waterloo, Canada) Stefan Wolf (ETH, Switzerland) Moti Yung (RSA & Columbia University, USA) Yuliang Zheng (University of North Carolina, USA) GENERAL AND LOCAL CHAIRS: General Chair: Javier Lopez Local Co-Chairs: Julio Cesar Hernandez, and Maria Isabel Gonzalez Vasco STEERING COMMITTEE: Carlo Blundo (University of Salerno, Italy) Gilles Brassard (University of Montreal, Canada) Ronald Cramer (CWI, The Netherlands) Yvo Desmedt, Chair (University College London, UK) Hideki Imai (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan) Kaoru Kurosawa (Ibaraki University, Japan) Ueli Maurer (ETH, Switzerland) Rei Safavi-Naini (University of Wollongong, Australia) Doug Stinson (University of Waterloo, Canada) Moti Yung (RSA & Columbia University, USA) Yuliang Zheng (University of North Carolina, USA) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: computational.science-unsubscribe(a)lists.optimanumerics.com For additional commands, e-mail: computational.science-help(a)lists.optimanumerics.com Computational Science mailing list hosting is provided by OptimaNumerics (http://www.OptimaNumerics.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
