ABOUT GraMSec
The use of graphical security models to represent and analyse the
security of systems has gained an increasing research attention over the
last two decades. Formal methods and computer security researchers, as
well as security professionals from the industry and government, have
proposed various graphical security models, metrics, and measurements.
Graphical models are used to capture different security facets and
address a range of challenges including security assessment, automated
defence, secure services composition, security policy validation, and
verification. The objective of GraMSec is to contribute to the
development of well-founded graphical security models, efficient
algorithms for their analysis, as well as methodologies and tools for
their practical usage.

VENUE: Barcelona, Spain, 23 September 2018
We seek original, high-quality research papers, clearly focused on the
application of Parallelism to any possible Bioinformatics problem. In
particular, contributions are solicited on, but are not limited to, the
following topics:
- Parallel and distributed algorithms in Bioinformatics.
- Workload partitioning strategies in Bioinformatics.
- Memory-efficient algorithms in Bioinformatics.
- Parallel tools and applications in Bioinformatics.
- Data-intensive Bioinformatics (including Big Data storage and processing).
- Multicore computing in Bioinformatics.
- Multithreaded computing in Bioinformatics.
- Cluster computing in Bioinformatics.
- Supercomputing in Bioinformatics.
- Cloud/Grid/P2P computing in Bioinformatics.
- Volunteer computing in Bioinformatics.
- Hardware accelerators (GPUs, FPGAs, etc.) in Bioinformatics.
- Heterogeneous computing in Bioinformatics.
- Green computing in Bioinformatics.
- Mobile computing in Bioinformatics.
- Emerging parallel programming models in Bioinformatics.
- Parallel performance evaluation, analysis, and optimization in
Bioinformatics.
- Parallel visualization, modelling, simulation, and exploration in
Bioinformatics.
With regard to the Bioinformatics problems, many different alternatives
exist: bioinformatics applied to biomedicine and drug design; biological
sequence analysis, comparison and alignment; motif, gene and signal
recognition/discovery; molecular evolution; phylogenetics and
phylogenomics; determination or prediction of the structure of RNA and
protein; DNA twisting and folding; gene expression and gene regulatory
networks; deduction of metabolic pathways; microarray design and
analysis; proteomics; functional genomics; molecular docking; design of
DNA sequences for molecular computing; etc.

YR-CONCUR 2018, Call for papers
8th Young Researchers Workshop on Concurrency Theory (YR-CONCUR), 2018
A satellite workshop of CONCUR 2018
September 3rd, 2018, Beijing, China
(https://www.irif.fr/~cenea/yr-concur2018/)
*********************************************************************
*Aims and objectives*
This workshop aims at providing a platform for PhD students and young researchers who recently completed their doctoral studies, to exchange new results related to concurrency theory
and receive feedback on their research. Focus is on informal discussions. Excellent master students working on concurrency theory are also encouraged to contribute.
*Important Dates*
Deadline for 4-page abstracts: June 8th, 2018
Notification of acceptance: July 6th, 2018
Workshop: September 3rd, 2018
*Format*
YR-CONCUR 2018 is a satellite workshop of CONCUR 2018 and will be held on September 3rd, 2018. It is anticipated that many CONCUR participants will attend the YR-workshop (and vice versa).
Presentations are selected on the basis of an abstract of up to 4 pages (incl. references) describing the research. No particular format is required. Submissions are judged on the expected interest in
and quality of the talk. The accepted abstracts will be made available at the workshop, but no formal proceedings are planned. It is thus also allowed (and encouraged) to send results that have been
published at other conferences (although preferably not at CONCUR 2018 or any of its other satellite workshops).
*Submission*
4-page abstracts should be submitted via the YR-CONCUR 2018 submission page on the EasyChair system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=yrconcur2018.

The Department of Computer Science <http://www.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/> of Hong
Kong Baptist University <http://www.hkbu.edu.hk/> (HKBU), presently offers
BSc, MSc, MPhil, and PhD programmes, now seeks outstanding applicants for
the following faculty positions on substantiable-track.
*Professor / Associate Professor / Assistant Professor (Computer Science)
(PR380/17-18) *
The appointees will teach, and are expected to manage programme at
undergraduate and postgraduate levels, perform high-impact research, as
well as contribute to professional and institutional services.
Collaboration with other faculty members in research and teaching is also
expected.
Applicants should possess a PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer
Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, and sufficiently
demonstrate abilities to conduct high-quality research in one of the
Department's key research areas: (i) computational intelligence, (ii)
databases and information management, (iii) networking and systems, and
(iv) pattern recognition and machine learning. They will be encouraged to
collaborate with colleagues within the Department to contribute to two
special thematic applications including (a) health informatics and (b)
secure and privacy-aware computing, and/or outside the Department to
