1- 3 PhD Positions, Road design optim or convex analysis, UBC
(source : D. Aussel)

COCANA (Centre for Optimization Convex Analysis and Nonsmooth
Analysis,https://ocana.ok.ubc.ca/) invites applications for 3 PhD
positions starting September 2015.

The positions will be based at the UBC Okanagan campus
(http://ok.ubc.ca/). The PhD positions are fully funded for 4 years
(2 years funded MSc positions are also available).

The first theme is on road design optimization. The research is
industry sponsored and include the opportunity to develop patents.
Good programming skills (C/C++) are required and optimization or
operations research skills are desired.

The second theme is on computational convex analysis and involves the
creation of new algorithms to compute mathematical objects regularly
used in convex analysis. The background required is good programming
skills (MATLAB, Scilab, or Octave), and a desire to learn convex
analysis.

Historically students with a computer science background have been
very successful in our program (and found positions at Google, Amazon,
or Microsoft), as well as students with a mathematical background and
strong programming skills.

Interested candidates should contact Dr. Yves Lucet, Associate
Professor, Computer Science, Director, Centre for Optimization Convex
Analysis and Nonsmooth Analysis, atyves.lucet at ubc.ca. The deadline
for funded applications is January 31, 2015.

2- PhD in Computational analysis and mathematics of information
(source : M. Th�ra)

We are looking for outstanding students who are keen to do a PhD in one of
our
core areas of analysis: computational analysis and mathematics of information
(including inverse problems, mathematical imaging, and compressed sensing),
partial differential equations, stochastic analysis and statistics.
The CCA will be holding an open day on the 27th of November 2014, see

http://www.maths.cam.ac.uk/postgrad/cca/D

Deadline for applications is the 15th of January 2015.

Thanks a lot in advance and best wishes!

Workshop GeoLMI 2015
22-24 June 2015, Paris
http://homepages.laas.fr/henrion/geolmi15

This is a workshop organized by Didier Henrion and Mohab Safey El Din
as a closing
event for the GeoLMI project funded by the French National Research Agency.
The project deals with the following research topics: geometry of
determinantal
varieties; positive polynomials; computational algebraic geometry;
semidefinite
programming; systems control applications.

The workshop takes place from Monday 22 to Wednesday 24 June 2015 in
the Durand
lecture hall of the Esclangon building on the Jussieu Campus of
Universite Pierre
et Marie Curie in Paris.

Confirmed invited speakers:
Erwan Brugalle, Ecole Polytechnique, Paris
Stephane Gaubert, INRIA Saclay and Ecole Polytechnique, Paris
Eric Goubault, CEA Saclay and Ecole Polytechnique, Paris
Ilya Itenberg, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris

11- "Modeling and OPtimization: Theory and Applications" (MOPTA) conference
(source : M. Th�ra)

organized at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, July 20-22, 2015.

MOPTA aims at bringing together a diverse group of people from both
discrete and continuous optimization, working on both theoretical and
applied aspects.  There will be invited plenary talks from distinguished
speakers as well as organized sessions and contributed talks, spread
over three days.  Our target is to provide a diverse set of exciting new
developments from different areas of optimization research while at the
same time providing a setting which will allow increased interaction
among the participants.  We aim to bring together researchers from both the
theoretical and applied communities in the framework of a medium-scale event
who do not usually have the chance to interact in larger meetings.

We welcome contributed talks, and we are also very interested in hearing
from people who could organize a session centered around one of their topics
of expertise. MOPTA sessions have 3 speakers, with 30 mins per presentation
including Q&A's. Speakers will be kindly asked to submit their abstract on
the MOPTA website. The deadline for abstract submission is May 1.

Confirmed plenary speakers:
* Alper Atamt�rk (University of California-Berkeley)
* Amir Beck (Technion - Israel Institute of Technology)
* Mirjam D�r (University of Trier)
* Eugene Feinberg (SUNY)
* Ravi Mazumdar (Waterloo)
* Luis Nunes Vicente (Universidade de Coimbra)
* Tong Zhang (Rutgers University)

Please contact Alexander Stolyar (als714 at lehigh.edu) or Martin Takac
(Takac.MT at gmail.com)
if you would like to organize a session for MOPTA.

A l'occasion de sa venue � Toulouse d�but d�cembre, R. HENRION
(Institut Weierstrass
de Berlin) donnera un mini-cours de 3 heures (niveau M2) sur
l'optimisation sous
incertitude.
Outre ce mini-cours, R. HENRION donnera un s�minaire le lundi 8
d�cembre apr�s-midi
(s�minaire SPOT 22, cf. annonce par ailleurs).
Bien � vous.

"Initiation aux contraintes en probabilit�"
Les contraintes en probabilit� repr�sentent un mod�le principal en
optimisation
stochastique. Elles s'appliquent aux probl�mes d'optimisation dont les
contraintes
d'in�galit�s sont influenc�es par un vecteur al�atoire. Une
d�cision
est d�finie
�tre admissible si le syst�me de contraintes-in�galit�s
al�atoires est
satisfait
avec une probabilit� donn�e, par exemple au seuil de probabilit� p =
0.95. Le d�fi
pos� par des contraintes en probabilit� consiste en l'absence d'une
formule
explicite pour leur �valuation. C'est pourquoi toutes les questions
autour des
approches algorithmiques, des propri�t�s structurelles o� de de la
stabilit�, se
posent de nouveau pour cette classe de probl�mes d'optimisation. Le
mini-cours
pr�sente une initiation aux contraintes en probabilit�. Pour les
mod�les, l'accent
est mis sur la classe importante des contraintes lin�aires dans l'al�a
et sur la
loi Gaussienne. Plusieurs applications aux probl�mes de la production
d'�nergie
serviront comme illustrations. Des propri�t�s analytiques (par exemple
convexit�,
continuit�, diff�rentiabilit�) seront pr�sent�es. Finalement, la
question de la
stabilit� des solutions sous une perturbation de la loi donn�e (par
exemple
approximation empirique) sera discut�e.

Dates et lieu : Mardi 9 d�cembre � 14 heures : 2 fois 1 heure ;
Mercredi 10 d�cembre :
1 fois 1 heure. Salle de s�minaires MIP, 1er �tage du b�timent 1R3
de l'IMT,
Universit� Paul Sabatier.
