Event date: 2010-09-13 The Fifth South East European Doctoral Student Conference (SEERC) will take place on 13 and 14 September 2010 in Thessaloniki, Greece. This edition of the event builds on the success of previous conferences, each attracting more than 100 papers from countries all over the southeast European region and beyond. The aim of the event is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between young researchers and to consolidate the established network of scholars currently undertaking research in and around the topic of southeast Europe. SEERC is also looking to establish and reinforce collaborative links between disciplines, laying the ground for innovative ideas and helping to engage the wider academic community. The conference is open to young researchers currently undertaking doctoral studies or in their early post-doc career (up to two years after their PhD). It has an interdisciplinary focus and the themes and topics reflect the organisation of research by tracks of interest.

Event date: 2010-09-13 The Third International Workshop on Computational Social Choice (COMSOC-2010) will take place from 13 to 16 September 2010 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Computational social choice is a new discipline where social choice theory and computer science meet. On the one hand, it is concerned with the application of techniques developed in computer science, such as complexity analysis or algorithm design, to the study of social choice mechanisms, including voting procedures or fair division algorithms. On the other, computational social choice is concerned with importing concepts from social choice theory into computing. For instance, social welfare orderings originally developed to analyse the quality of resource allocations in human society are equally as applicable to problems in multi-agent systems or network design. The aim of the workshop is to bring together different communities: computer scientists interested in computational issues in social choice, people working in artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems, logicians interested in the logic-based specification and analysis of social procedures, and people coming from the field of social choice theory. The workshop will be accompanied by a 'LogICCC Tutorial Day' with general introductory talks.

Event date: 2010-09-13 The Fifth Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference and the 11th Signal Processing for Space Communications Workshop will be held in Cagliari, Italy from 13 to 15 September 2010. Building on the last editions of the two events, this joint conference is an opportunity for industry and research institutions to get the latest updates and to exchange information about recent advances and emerging technologies for mobile, broadband, and broadcast satellite communication systems. The joint event is being organised by the University of Cagliari, the University of Bologna, the European Space Agency and the Integral Satcom Initiative Technology Platform.
