The University of Luxembourg seeks to hire three outstanding PhD
candidates at the Computer Science and Communications Research Unit. The
positions are part of the FNR PRIDE doctoral training programme on
"Security and Privacy for System Protection". The University offers
highly competitive salaries and is an equal opportunity employer. You
will work in an exciting international environment and will have the
opportunity to participate in the development of a dynamic and growing
centre.
Successful candidates will participate in the activities of the Security
and Trust of Software Systems (SaToSS) research group led by Prof. Dr.
Sjouke Mauw. The group is focused on formalising and applying formal
reasoning to real-world security problems and trust issues. We offer
three different research projects:
- Multi-party Authentication Protocols. Further information and
submission guidelines can be found at: https://goo.gl/yqPo6q
- Adaptive Cyber-defenses. Further information and submission guidelines
can be found at: https://goo.gl/FlMo5E
- Security and Privacy in Social Networks. Further information and
submission guidelines can be found at: https://goo.gl/TpZ3S7
Applications can be sent to more than one research project. Each
application will be considered on receipt, therefore applying before the
deadline is encouraged.

*Future Special Issue on Emerging Trends, Issues and Challenges in
Internet of Things, Big Data and Cloud Computing*
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/future-generation-computer-systems/call-f…
The future development of cloud computing systems is more and more
influenced by Big Data and IoT. There are research and industrial works
showing applications, services, experiments and simulations in the Cloud
that support the cases related to IoT, Big Data and Security. Cloud
users and cloud service providers face a variety of new challenges like
encrypted data search, share, auditing, key management security and
privacy. There is also a need for protocols that facilitate big data
streaming from IoT to the cloud and QoS.
This special issue encourages submissions related to all aspects of IoT,
Big Data and Cloud Computing. In particular, it aims to examine the
prospects and challenges that arise in conjunction with the trending
topic in the field of Internet of Things and Big Data which are
essential to comply with the necessities of modern cloud applications.
Promoting the submission of the ongoing work with the existing important
theoretical and practical results, along with position papers and case
studies of already present verification projects, this special issue
will highlight the art in this domain. As one of the goals, this special
issue intends to convene researchers and practitioners to review the
diverse range of features of security, privacy, trust and reliability in
IoT and Cloud. It also examines significant theories, scrutinies
technology enablers, formulates significant application and devise new
methods to overcome the major problems that this research area poses.
The objective of this special issue is to capture the latest advances in
research topics that include but are not limited to:
* Big Data and IoT on the Cloud
* IoT Services and Applications
* Security, Privacy and Trust in IoTSensor Networks
* Remote Diagnosis and Development
* Data Analysis and Visualization for IoT
* Performance Evaluation and Modeling for IoT
* Networking and Communication Protocols for IoT
* Physical Security and Data LocationTechnological focus for Smart
Environments
* Data and Knowledge Management
* Data Mining
* Big Data Security
* Cloud Computing Platforms, Applicationsand Management
* Cloud Security and Privacy Management
* Mobile Cloud Computing
* Services Computing
* Hybrid Cloud Computing
* Virtualization of Resources in Clouds
* Energy Efficiency in Clouds
* Data Storage in Clouds
* Cloud Applications Performance and Monitoring
*Important Dates*
Paper submission due: June 30, 2017
First-round acceptance notification: September 1, 2017
Revision: October 15, 2017
Final decision: December 15, 2017
Submission of final paper: January 15, 2018
Publication date: March, 2018
*Submission Guidelines*
Paper submissions for the special issue should follow the submission
format and guidelines for regular Elsevier Journal of Future Generation
Computer Systems at http://ees.elsevier.com/fgcs/. All the papers will
be peer-reviewed following the FGCS reviewing procedures. Guest editors
will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope of all
submissions. Papers that either lack originality, clarity in
presentation or fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be
sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases.
Authors should select “*SI:**Emerging Trends, Issues and Challenges in
Internet of Things, Big Data and Cloud Computing*” when they reach the
“Article Type” step in the submission process. Top conference papers
from SC2-2016 (http://grid.chu.edu.tw/sc2-2016) and IoTDBS 2017
(http://www.iotbds.org) will be invited for extended and enhanced
version for this special issue. Extended conference contributions must
have *at least 50%* difference from the original works (the authors must
indicate the conference name and make the reference to the base
conference paper).

Dear Colleagues,
Univ of Pau was elected in the Isite excellence call for proposal that ranks it among the best French universities in the domain of sciences.
Within the frame of the Isite project which concerns energy and environment, the civil engineering takes it place in the domain of building physics but also in the classical domain
of mechanics of materials (concrete, rocks), safety of structures, couplings and particularly in the domain of computation modeling thru FE computations.
- 2 junior chair, 12 PhD grants and 4 postdoctoral fellowship are available
The department of Civil Engineering of the University is located in the attractive place of the French Basque Country in the suburb of Bayonne-Anglet-Biarritz.
Applicants are firstly chosen on their skills and transcripts, then they must develop a project in link with a professor of the university.
Be careful at the deadlines
- 20th of June for the Junior Chair
- 10th of June for the Phd and the post-doc positions
Best regards
