Director’s section Welcome to the new CIAO Newsletter which covers the period April – June 2017. All available previous issues starting from 2003 as well as the series of the School of Information Technology & Mathematical Sciences Research Newsletters dating from 1998 can now be accessed from the CIAO web site: http://federation.edu.au/ciao. The web site is currently undergoing a facelift with new pieces of information appearing here and there.

CIAO optimisation seminars take place fortnightly in Room T121, Mount Helen campus at 11:30 am. Remote access via Visimeet is available. This year we have had 17 research talks so far. The seminars are not strongly restricted to optimisation. Every CIAO researcher, as well as visitors from other national and overseas universities, are welcome to present.

We continue hosting international visitors. This year we have had 13 visitors so far.

This period was rich in various events. Let me mention the AMSI Optimise meeting in Melbourne in June, organised by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) and supported by the Federal and State Governments. It aimed at strengthening mathematical optimisation research engagement with industry and allowed academics from Australian universities actively interact with various businesses and learn each other’s capabilities and needs. The meeting received significant media coverage. It is going to become an annual event.

CIAO long-time collaborator and Adjunct Professor Jiří Outrata from the Institute of Information Theory and Automation of the Czech Academy of Sciences celebrated his 70th birthday in June this year. There going to be an international conference in September in Prague dedicated to Jiří Outrata.

Several more important CIAO and national events are scheduled for the second half of 2017 and beginning of 2018. CIAO wishes him many more achievements in mathematics and in sports.

This edition contains news from the Federation Learning Agents Group and Research Group on Pure Mathematics, the information about the visit to CIAO by President of the Iranian Operations Research Society Prof Mahdavi-Amiri and the list of recent publications by CIAO members.

Research Group News

Federation Learning Agents Group (FLAG) Members: A/Prof Peter Vamplew, Dr Richard Dazeley, and Dr Cameron Foale.

New scholarship opportunity through Defence Sciences Technology Group and Defence Sciences Institute

A/Prof Peter Vamplew from FLAG has been successful in negotiating a joint PhD scholarship project through the Defence Sciences Technology Group (DSTG) and Defence Sciences Institute (DSI) of $45k over 3 years to support a defence-related project titled "Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning in Dynamic Team Based Adversarial Games".

A range of technologies have the potential to change the way future military aerospace operations are conducted. In order to maximise the utility of these technologies, future tactics and concepts of operations will need to be developed and explored. Machine learning techniques have revolutionised a number of fields such as new drug discovery in the pharmaceutical industry and gene discovery in computational biology. Similarly, these techniques have the potential to be equally transformative in the field of computational operations research in the area of tactics discovery for new aerospace technologies.

Reinforcement learning, in particular, shows significant promise in discovering optimal behaviour in a number of application domains. While single agent reinforcement learning with a single objective can be useful, most problems in multi-agent simulation (such as multi-ship air combat) have multiple (often competing) objectives and include multiple agents on opposing teams.

The fields of Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning (MORL) and Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) are nascent but have the potential to be transformative in the area of tactical discovery. Additional basic research needs to be undertaken to develop these fields to meet the requirements for tactical discovery in multi-agent team based adversarial simulations.

The proposed research program will undertake basic research in Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning (MORL) within the following contexts:

Multiple competing objectives Multi-agent simulation with a dynamic and continuous state space. team based NvM adversarial game. Coordinated team behaviour.

A/Prof Vamplew said, "this is a great opportunity to apply our theoretical expertise in multi-objective reinforcement learning to a significant real-world problem of national importance".

DSTG PhD Scholarship - Applications open

As a result of the previous development, FLAG is seeking applications from highly motivated and suitably qualified candidates for a fully funded scholarship for commencement in Semester 2 2017. The successful application will pursue a program of research in an area of

Research Group on Pure Mathematics Aalborg University awards a fellowship to Dr Guillermo Pineda-Villavicencio

Dr Guillermo Pineda- Villavicencio has been awarded a one-month fellowship by the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Aalborg University, approximately valued at 10,000 AUD. During his visit to Denmark, Guillermo will work on joint projects with his long-term collaborator A/Prof Leif K. Jorgensen (http://people.math.aau.dk/~leif/).

Research collaboration between A/Prof Leif K. Jorgensen and Dr Guillermo Pineda-Villavicencio has already resulted in two published papers in leading international journals. This fellowship will surely advance a number of ongoing research projects between A/Prof Jorgensen and Dr Pineda-Villavicencio.

Dr Pineda-Villavicencio will visit Aalborg University during September 21st 2017 and October 20th 2017.

Indonesian government awards a research grant to Dr Guillermo Pineda-Villavicencio

Dr Guillermo Pineda-Villavicencio is part of a team which was successful in securing a research grant from the Indonesian government, under the P3MI scheme. The title of the project is “Largest networks of particular classes”.

The project aims to expand significantly the knowledge on various graph classes, and it will open new research horizons and applications while finding reception among network analysts and mathematicians. From a practical point of view, descriptions of new large graphs for these graph classes will be an important outcome of this project. Large graphs may be translated into efficient modelling of random and deterministic phenomena in nature and technology. This modelling is vital because it helps to understand, predict and reproduce the phenomena.
