RACI opportunities: Conferences, symposiums, PhD positions
by Vesna Manojlovic 17 May '23

17 May '23

Dear colleagues, I am forwarding these interesting academic invitations. Vesna (see below for: www.nsuweb.org & https://symposium.openforumeurope.org ) === "Educational commons and active social inclusion" May 26-28, 2023, Volos, Greece https://smooth-ecs.eu/conference/ === ACM SIGPLAN conference on Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity 22 - 27 October 2023 Cascais, Portugal https://2023.splashcon.org === From: Eric (eric.deibel(a)nsuweb.org) This is the call for the summer symposium, "What a waste: surplus art, theory and tékhnē", which will be the first summer session of our three year symposium series called: "Cybioses – life in the future imperfect" You can find a longer description of our symposium series and the abstract submission at the link below. It also includes all the details and background information: https://www.nsuweb.org/study-circles/circle-2-cybioses-life-in-the-future-i… The symposium is part of the Nordic Summer University (NSU), which organizes Nordic networks for interdisciplinary study and research, pioneering topics like technology, environmentalism, feminism within its tradition (see www.nsuweb.org). During the summer symposium there are many different symposia that are held at the same location, where all participants stay during its entire duration (see the link above for more information and the costs). Date & Place of the Symposium: July 27th– August 3th, 2023, Palanga Lithuania We invite scholars, artists, students, technologists, theorists and other professionals working or writing on topics related to "waste" to submit. Are approaches to "waste" as a meaningful intellectual category. Accordingly, the title "What a waste", begs the question of how to act with a less obvious lack of care and to act with purpose, which also extends to (our own) intellectual concerns and related practices. Which ones should have value, which should not? How do we decide what about art, theory and tékhnē are a waste, and what not? We welcome experimental approaches to presenting and collaborating and we hope this topic will deepen and re-new our collaboration, with previous and new participants. Feel free to contact us if you are wondering how you would fit in. Please send your abstracts with a short motivation letter and bio to us by the 12th of May to eric.deibel(a)nsuweb.org. And, please, help us spread the word. We look forward to your submissions and ask questions if you have them, Eric Deibel, (Assistant Professor/Lecturer, Bilkent University STS program), also on behalf of: Palle Dahlstedt (Professor of Interaction Design, University of Gothenburg / Chalmers) and Maru Mushtrieva (Researcher and text- and sound-artist with a background in literature and based between Berlin and Brussels.) === Subject: Vacancies for 4 PhDs and 1 Postdoc on community economy, sustainability, resilience From: Tine De Moor <demoor(a)rsm.nl> Dear colleague, Do you know of master-students and/or PhDs who are (nearly) finished and want to continue in Academia? We are looking for four PhD-students and one postdoc on the community economy for sustainability and resilience to complete our team (see information below). Deadline for all applications is 15th of May 2023. The envisioned starting date is September 2023. Many thanks for sharing these vacancies widely! If you wish to be updated on future vacancies (more to come this fall), do let us know via this email-address. Many thanks! Dr. Thomas Bauwens & Prof. Dr. Tine De Moor Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University ------------------------------------------ Building the Community Economy for Sustainability and Resilience Are you passionate about building sustainable futures for the planet and humanity, and about understanding the roles communities can play in the process? Do you want to be a part of cutting-edge research projects that address the ways communities and citizens can expand their impact to accelerate societal transformations towards sustainability? Then these exciting research opportunities are for you! Across the world, new bottom-up and self-governing enterprises are increasingly being set up by citizens and local communities in the fields of sustainable energy, the circular economy, shared mobility, food, care, and many others. Citizens hereby collectively govern and use resources as commons, through self-governance, according to the rules they decide upon as a group. How can such community and citizen-based enterprises scale their impact and transform society beyond markets and states? This is a critical and timely challenge, as scholars and policymakers have high expectations on the roles of communities and citizens to advance sustainability and resilience. Community and citizen-based enterprises are widely known to foster collective action locally. But what are the mechanisms through which they can achieve wider transformations to tackle urgent sustainability challenges such as climate change? What is the role of group size and heterogeneity for the resilience of – both historical and present-day – organisations and of society as a whole? These PhD and postdoc positions offer unique opportunities to delve into these fascinating topics and work together with other team members with expertise from various disciplines. PhD 1: Scaling community enterprises for sustainability: understanding challenges and solutions to organizational tensions PhD 2: Scaling community enterprises for sustainability: understanding the drivers and challenges for resource mobilization strategies PhD 3: Scaling community enterprises for sustainability: understanding the roles of social networks PhD 4: Institutions for collective action: link between size, heterogeneity, resilience Postdoc: Scaling the Societal Impact of Community Enterprises for Sustainability: an Analysis of the success factors of community enterprises’ scaling strategies Through these positions, the researchers will get the opportunity to work on key sustainability fields, including sustainable energy, the circular economy, the sharing economy, and natural resource management. The PhDs get a full-time salaried employment (not in the form of a scholarship) for 4 years without teaching obligations, with the option of a conditional 5th year. There are however opportunities to be involved in teaching. All positions are embedded within a group of researchers focussing on the Community Economy and Institutions for Collective Action at the Business-Society-Management department of RSM, where sustainability is central to all research and cooperation with other disciplines is key (see https://collective-action.info/_ctc_main/_tea_main/ for an overview of the group at the moment). They are part of different sub-projects: PhD 1, PhD 2, PhD 3 and the Postdoc-position are part of the new ERC Starting Grant project SCENSUS, led by Dr. Thomas Bauwens. SCENSUS stands for “Scaling the Societal Impact of Community Enterprises for Sustainability”). Click here for further information about the project or contact bauwens(a)rsm.nl for further information. PhD4 is part of the NWO-VICI-project UNICA, led by Prof. Tine De Moor. UNICA stands for “Building a UNified theory for the development and resilience of Institutions for Collective Action for Europe in the past millennium”. Click here for further information about the project or contact collective-action(a)rsm.nl for further information. Please note that there will be more vacancies -for postdocs and tenure-track positions- coming up soon. If you would like to stay up-to-date on these vacancies, send a mail to collective-action(a)rsm.nl. Thanks for sharing! Tine De Moor Professor Social Enterprise and Institutions for Collective Action Rotterdam School of Management Erasmus University demoor(a)rsm.nl www.collective-action.info | www.collectievekracht.eu ======== We are excited to invite you to the OpenForum Academy Symposium 2023 The CfP is now open until 29 May Hosted by TU Berlin, the OpenForum Academy Symposium will, on 28 November 2023, bring together researchers and practitioners from all walks of the Open Source research ecosystem at an interdisciplinary conference. Submit a proposal, register to attend and save the date Website and CfP https://symposium.openforumeurope.org As of today there is no academic conference covering questions relating to the social, political and economic impact of Open Source. This hampers the linking of research agendas, growth of the research area, and the societal understanding of the value of the Open Source ecosystem as a whole. The OpenForum Academy Symposium (OFA) fills this space. After a successful first, virtual edition in 2021, the OFA Symposium 2023 will bring together an interdisciplinary set of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from around the world to Berlin, in order to explore the transformative power of Open Source Software and Hardware. At the OFA Symposium, we will examine the social, political, and economic implications of open source. We will explore how open source is changing the way we work, communicate, and interact with each other, and how it is shaping the future of technology and society. The Symposium will feature a diverse and group of speakers and participants, including researchers, policymakers, developers, and activists. We believe that the OFA Symposium will provide a unique and valuable opportunity for learning, collaboration, and networking. We hope you will join us for this exciting event, and look forward to exploring the social, political, and economic impact of Open Source together. https://symposium.openforumeurope.org -- Senior Community Builder, RIPE NCC https://labs.ripe.net/author/becha/

Dear colleagues, hope you're all doing well. The application round for SEE 11 has been closed and the final selection of successful candidates has been made. Congratulations for those selected and say thank you to all that sent their proposals in. If your application was locally relevant but hasn't been selected, don't give up just yet - we have more events lined up! ------------------------------------------------------ NEW MEETING ADDED TO THE RACI APPLICATION CALENDAR ------------------------------------------------------ It is my pleasure to announce that RIPE NCC will be organising another event in the SEE region. The meeting will be held in Sofia, Bulgaria on June 27-28. It will be an opportunity for the technical community in Bulgaria and broader SEE community to come together and share knowledge and experiences, and to identify areas for regional cooperation. The event is open to all and there is no cost to attend. RIPE NCC will be supporting the academic participation through RACI programme once again. The RACI call for application is already open, please apply before April 23: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/raci/raci For people that have already applied for SEE11 and/or RIPE 86, please submit your application details again and only tick the "RIPE NCC Days Sofia" box when doing so. MEETING: RIPE NCC Days Sofia DATE: 27-28 June 2023 RACI APPLICATION FORM: https://www.ripe.net/participate/forms/apply/raci-application-form-2023/ RACI DEADLINE: 23 April 2023 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- RIPE 86 REGISTRATION OPEN & RACI RIPE 86 APPLICATION ROUND CLOSES SOON ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Registration for the RIPE meeting is officially open : https://ripe86.ripe.net/attend/register/ If you work in academia and have an interesting research you want to present to the RIPE community, you still have a week to apply for the RACI programme - applications will be closed on March 9 at 23:59 UTC+1. MEETING: RIPE 86, Rotterdam DATE: 22-26 May 2023 RACI APPLICATION FORM: https://www.ripe.net/participate/forms/apply/raci-application-form-2023/ RACI DEADLINE: 9 March 2023 If you are member of RIPE community interested in attending RIPE meeting but do not have a research ready for a presentation, you can apply to join us as a fellow via RIPE Fellowship programme. The Programme provides basic assistance for successful candidates to participate in a RIPE Meeting. It is open to all in the RIPE NCC service region and might be especially interesting for students. As mentioned, the selected candidates will get a chance to join us for the meeting but unlike RACI, they do not have the opportunity to present their work to the community and that is what distinguishes these two initiatives. The RIPE Fellowship is still a great way to get involved with the RIPE Community. If you know anyone that might be interested, please let them know about this opportunity. The application deadline is the same as for RACI: March 9 at 23:59 UTC+1. More information on Fellowship programme and how to apply here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/ripe-fellowship If you have any questions about RACI or Fellowship, please feel free to contact me. Kind regards, Jelena

SIGCOMM 2023 Call for Papers
by Aaron Ding 31 Dec '22

31 Dec '22

ACM SIGCOMM 2023 Call for Papers: https://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2023/cfp.html * Call for Papers * The ACM SIGCOMM 2023 conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions or significant deployment experience in communication networks and networked systems. SIGCOMM takes a broad view of networking, and welcomes submissions on these topics, among others: - All types of computer networks, including mobile, wide-area, data center, embedded, home, and enterprise networks. - All types of wired and wireless technologies, including optics, radio, acoustic, and visible light-based communication. - All aspects of networks and networked systems, such as network architecture, packet-processing hardware and software, virtualization, mobility, resource management, performance, energy consumption, topology, robustness, security, diagnosis, verification, privacy, economics, evolution, and interactions with applications. - All parts of the network life cycle, including planning, designing, building, operating, troubleshooting, and migrations. - All approaches and techniques, including theory, analysis, experiments, and machine learning. SIGCOMM 2023 will accept submissions in three tracks: research, experience, and panel. Panel submissions are new this year. Strong research track submissions will significantly advance the state of the art in networking by, for instance, proposing and developing novel ideas or by rigorously evaluating or re-evaluating existing ideas. Strong experience track submissions will present key insights and takeaways found in the course of designing and executing deployments of existing networking techniques, especially in settings that most in the community cannot duplicate (for instance, for reasons of scale). Strong panel submissions will propose a topic and panel of speakers whose ideas and interactions will engage conference attendees. All submissions should discuss the limitations of their work. Survey and tutorial papers are out of scope and will not be reviewed. Research submissions must be anonymous (not revealing author names). Experience submissions must also be anonymous, but due to their nature, may reveal the name of the deploying organization or deployed system. The authorship of a panel submission may be anonymous, but the proposed panelists must be named in the body of the submission. While no author names can appear in a paper submitted for review, all authors must be listed in HotCRP before the submission deadline so reviewer conflicts are handled properly. At paper registration time, authors must explicitly indicate in the submission form if their paper is to be considered for the research, experience, or panel track. Each submission will only be considered for the one track identified at submission time. * Submissions * Submission site: https://sigcomm2023.hotcrp.com Submissions should be in two-column, 10-point format, and can be up to 12 pages in length with as many additional pages as necessary for references and optional appendices (up to 5 pages for panel submissions). Submissions and final papers may include appendices (following references, not counting against the 12 pages). Reviewers are not required to read appendices or consider them in their review. Authors should thus ensure that the core paper is complete and self-contained. For example, if the appendix provides details of a proof or experiment, the body should summarize the key result. Appendices may also include non-traditional material, such as videos, datasets, and code, all appropriately anonymized. The review process may involve multiple rounds of review. Papers that are not selected to proceed may receive early notification, including reviews. Accepted papers may be shepherded by a member of the program committee to ensure reviewer feedback is appropriately addressed. The shepherd will also review appendices and must approve their necessity. SIGCOMM 2023 plans to be an in-person event, and the authors of every accepted paper are expected to arrange for an in-person attendee to present the paper and answer questions. For accepted papers, the official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work. (For those rare conferences whose proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library after the conference is over, the official publication date remains the first day of the conference.) * Important Dates * Abstract registration deadline: Wednesday February 8, 2023 23:59 UTC Paper submission deadline: Wednesday February 15, 2023 23:59 UTC Paper acceptance notification: Saturday May 20, 2023 Conference: September 10 - 14, 2023 * TPC Chairs * If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact our TPC Chairs: dmaltz(a)microsoft.com kohler(a)seas.harvard.edu Aaron -- Director of CPI Lab & Associate Professor of Edge AI, TU Delft Scientific Director & Coordinator for EU Horizon SPATIAL Project Editorial Board for ACM Transactions on Internet of Things (TIOT) https://sk-alg.tbm.tudelft.nl/aaron/
