Michael Emmerich, Leiden University – Abstract: In multiobjective optimization and decision analysis, it is common to compute sets of points or polytopes that cover trade-off (hyper)surfaces. In this talk, we will look at computational geometry problems related to this and their computational complexity. Many of…

José Acacio de Barros, San Francisco State University – Abstract: Rationality is often associated with classic theory of probability, which is built on top of a Boolean structure of events. However, some experimental conditions, both in physics and in the social sciences, do not permit…

Pedro Diniz, USC Information Sciences Institute – Abstract: System resilience is an important challenge that needs to be addressed in the era of extreme scale computing. High-performance computing systems will be architected using millions of processor cores and memory modules. As process technology scales, the…

Stevens Le Blond , EPFL – École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne – Abstract: Humanitarian action, the process of aiding individuals in situations of crises, poses unique information-security challenges due to natural or manmade disasters, the adverse environments in which it takes place, and the scale…

Paula Alexandra Silva , Maynooth University – Abstract: Recent research projects have depicted Studio-Based Learning as a successful approach to teaching computer science students. This talk will describe using Studio-Based Learning as a pedagogical approach in an online introductory Computer Science 1 (CS1) course. The…

Marcin Niemiec, – Abstract: Nowadays, Security-as-a-Service (SecaaS) model is using by organizations of different sizes and profiles. Unfortunately, such services are characterized by a risk of confidential information leakage – the customer’s security policies are exposing to cloud service providers. The security policy contains confidential…

Inês Marques, Instituto Superior Técnico – Abstract: Scheduling and timetabling are planning activities of operations management in any organization. Central to an operation’s ability to deliver is the way its activities are planned. Planning is concerned with activities that attempt to reconcile the demand and…

Michael Stiglmayr, University of Wuppertal – Abstract: The fixed-charge network design problem is one of the classical network design problems. From a multiobjectve perspective its objective function is the weighted-sum of a network flow objective and the sum of the fixed costs (i.e. design costs)….

Fusa Katada, Waseda University – Abstract: The neurobiological disability called dyslexia (< Greek dys- ‘impaired’ + lexis ‘word’) is a specific learning disability (LD) that affects literacy skills: both decoding (pronouncing written words) and encoding (spelling words). It has been generally assumed that congenital form...

Kerstin Dächert, University of Wuppertal – Abstract: Multi-objective optimization methods often proceed by iteratively producing new solutions. For this purpose it is important to determine and update the search region efficiently. It corresponds to the part of the objective space where new nondominated points could…
