8th edition of the Winter School on Network Optimization (first announcement)
by Luis Eduardo Neves Gouveia 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

The 8th edition of the Winter School on Network Optimization will take place at Hotel Estoril-Éden, Monte Estoril, from the 15th to the 19th of January 2018. Its main objective is to provide an opportunity for PhD students to get together and attend high level courses in the field of Network Optimization. Non-PhD students are welcome to attend the school, but the number of participants is limited and priority will be given to PhD students. In this edition of the school, the lecturers and subjects to be addressed are: Adam Ouorou (Orange Labs) - Robust optimization in telecommunications; Martine Labbé (Univ. Libre de Bruxelles) - Bilevel programming: Stackelberg games and Pricing Problems; Ivana Ljubic (ESSEC, Paris) - Recent Developments on Exact Solvers for the (Prize-Collecting) Steiner Tree Problem; Silvano Martello (Univ. of Bologna) - Packing problems in one and more dimensions; Juan José Salazar-Gonzalez (Univ. de La Laguna) - Models and Algorithms for Vehicle Routing Problems with Pickups and Deliveries. The school is part of the activities of the CMAFCIO (Centro de Matemática, Aplicações Fundamentais e Investigação Operacional) University of Lisbon as well as of the ENOG (European Network Optimization Group). The event is also endorsed by the EURO (the Association of European Societies) and APDIO (the Portuguese OR society). Potential participants are invited to submit their CVs to the address NetOpt2018(a)fc.ul.pt no later than the 31st October . Further information is available in the webpage (http://netopt2018.campus.ciencias.ulisboa.pt<http://netopt2018.campus.ciencias.ulisboa.pt/>)??

Call for Papers: Optimization and Engineering (OPTE) Special Issue on Energy and Optimization
by Luis Zuluaga 28 Jul '18

28 Jul '18

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% *OPTE Special Issue: TriPod-MOPTA 2018 on Energy and Optimization* *Submission Due Date:* October 30, 2018 *Guest Editors:* Daniel Bienstock, Professor, Industrial Engineering and Operations Research/Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, Columbia University. ⟨ dano(a)ieor.columbia.xn--edu-e76a. Luis F. Zuluaga, Associate Professor, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Lehigh University. ⟨luis.zuluaga(a)lehigh.xn--edu-e76a. *Aim:* This call aims at publishing research work that showcases the interactions between Optimization and Engineering to address important problems arising in the Energy sector. The call encourages submissions from speakers at the upcoming TriPod-MOPTA 2018, *but is open to submissions from any interested authors*. The call is *open to all types of papers, including theoretical, applied, and algorithmic articles, as well as articles that combine these features.* *Theme:* The rapid and imperative changes in the Energy sector have created a wide range of challenges that are being addressed by a combination of Engineering and Optimization techniques. For example, consider the use of convex relaxations to obtain near-optimal alternating current optimal power flow (ACOPF) solutions, or for gas distribution network problems; the use of multi-level optimization to address commodity pricing problems, integration of renewable energy sources (RES) into electricity markets, or to immunize a commodity network against potential attacks; the use of uncertainty optimization techniques to address challenges related to the use of RES, immunize commodity networks against catastrophic events, and obtain robust equilibrium commodity prices that take into account uncertainty in commodity production or demand; the development of improved mathematical formulations and optimization solution methods, to address large-scale Energy related problems; among many other interesting research directions that are being explored towards the goal of designing commodity networks that are “smart”, interconnected, efficient, reliable, resilient, and environmentally responsible. Beyond the study of individual commodity networks, nowadays, very interesting research addresses the challenging problem of studying the interaction between different commodity networks such as electricity, gas, and water networks, as well as the interaction of these networks with communication and transportation networks. *Submission Procedure:* Please submit to the *Optimization and Engineering (OPTE)* journal at https://www.springer.com/mathematics/journal/11081 and select special issue “SI: TriPod-MOPTA 2018”. All sub- missions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. Interested authors should consult the journal’s “Instructions for Authors”, at http://www.springer.com/ mathematics/journal/11081 <http://www.springer.com/mathematics/journal/11081>. All submitted papers will be reviewed on a peer review basis. *All inquiries should be directed to the attention of:* Luis F. Zuluaga, Guest Editor Optimization and Engineering (OPTE) journal ⟨luis.zuluaga(a)lehigh.xn--edu-e76a %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

*************************************************************** 9th International Network Optimization Conference (INOC2019) June 12-14, 2019 - Avignon, France Website: https://inoc2019.sciencesconf.org/ Submission: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=inoc2019 Proceedings: O <https://easychair.org/publications/EPiC>penProceedings <http://openproceedings.org/> *************************************************************** The aim of this conference is to provide researchers from different areas of Operations Research, with the opportunity to present and discuss their results and research on the field of Network Optimization, in an inspiring and bridge building environment where fruitful ideas may flow freely, see the website https://inoc2019.sciencesconf.org/. The authors are invited to submit their papers describing original, previously unpublished research results and not currently under review. There are two types of submissions: full papers (4-6 pages using the two-columns ACM SigConf template <https://seafile.lirmm.fr/f/317dfc9a3ee24901b2b7/?dl=1>) and extended abstracts (1-2 pages, free template). Authors of rejected full papers will be given the possibility to submit them as extended abstracts. Accepted full papers and extended abstracts will be available in the conference material. There will also be a special issue of the Networks journal, Wiley, associated with the conference. In order to support the open access initiative (with no publication fees for authors), we have decided to publish accepted full papers in open access at openproceedings.org, with doi and indexed in dblp (possibly Scopus). Hence, the authors will keep the copyright of all material published in the proceedings. **** KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Michel Goemans, MIT (USA) Pascal Van Hentenryck, University of Michigan (USA) Hande Yaman, Bilkent University (Turkey) In addition, we shall have two tutorial talks given by: Ruslan Sadykov, INRIA Bordeaux (France) Sandra Ulrich Ngueveu, LAAS-CNRS (France) **** IMPORTANT DATES Full Paper submission Submission deadline: February 15, 2019 Notification: April 1, 2019 Extended Abstract submission: May 1 2019 Camera-ready paper submission: May 1 2019 Conference: June 12-14, 2019 **** INQUIRIES Email: inoc2019(a)sciencesconf.org Looking forward to welcoming you to Avignon in June 2019.
