06 Apr '20

? The 9th edition of the Winter School on Network Optimization will take place at Hotel Estoril-Éden, Monte Estoril, from the 20th to the 24th of January 2020. 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: Arie Koster (RWTH Aachen University) - Robust Network Optimization; Elena Fernandez (Universidad de Cadiz) - Formulations for Location-Routing; Hande Yaman (KU Leuven) - Hub Location Problems; Ivana Ljubic (ESSEC Business School of Paris) - Branch-and-Benders-cut algorithms: modern implementations of Benders Decomposition; Mario Ruthmair (University of Vienna))- Optimization in Social Networks? The school is part of the activities of the 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 netopt2020(a)fc.ul.pt no later than the 31st October. Further information is available in the webpage (http://netopt2020.campus.ciencias.ulisboa.pt<http://netopt2020.campus.ciencias.ulisboa.pt/>) ?

Open Journal of Mathematical Optimization: call for papers
by Michael Poss 06 Nov '19

06 Nov '19

The *Open Journal of Mathematical Optimization* ( https://ojmo.centre-mersenne.org) is calling for papers. This newly established scholarly journal, provided on a Fair Open Access basis – without cost to both readers and authors, see below – welcomes original and high-quality articles dealing with every aspect of mathematical optimization, ranging from numerical and computational aspects to theoretical questions related to mathematical optimization problems. The topics covered by the journal are classified into four areas: * Continuous Optimization * Discrete Optimization * Optimization under Uncertainty * Computational aspects and applications The journal welcomes regular papers (no page limit) and short notes (no more than 8 pages). While the editorial board will guarantee a first answer within 3 months for the short papers, both types of papers will be refereed with the same (high) standards and need to follow rigorously the journal template upon submission, available at https://ojmo.centre-mersenne.org/page/instructions/ The steering committee of the journal consists of * Dimitris Bertsimas (MIT, USA) * Martine Labbé (ULB, Belgium) * Eva K. Lee (Georgia Tech, USA) * Marc Teboulle (Tel-Aviv University, Israel) The full list of editorial board members can be found under https://ojmo.centre-mersenne.org/page/editorial-team_en/ As a Fair Open Access journal, * it is owned and controlled by the scholarly community independent of commercial publishers, * authors retain copyright of their works, which are published under a standard open access license as outlined in the editorial policy.

[Deadline Extension] CFP: Special session, Applications of Bio-Inspired Techniques on Social Networks, at EvoStar 2020
by Giovanni Iacca 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

Dear all, Due to a large number of requests for late submissions, the EvoStar submission websites will stay open until *Friday, November 15*! Authors who have already submitted, can update their work until this time. Best regards, Giovanni ---- *Overview* If you have an interest in *social networks and bio-inspired soft computing*, join us at a special session <http://www.evostar.org/2020/evoapps/biosocnet/> dedicated to social networks at EvoStar 2020 <http://www.evostar.org/2020/>, the main European event on bio‑inspired computation. Social networks are simple models used to describe complex phenomena that emerge in various fields such as social sciences, digital communication platforms, economics, business, international relations, environmental sciences, and medicine. For example, social networks are used to model social interactions on web platforms such as Facebook or Twitter, the spreading of contagious illnesses, news and information, the mutual influence between voters during an electoral campaign, the adoption of new goods on the market, the correlation between purchases on e-commerce platforms, or the interaction between agents, bots and humans. In this special session we seek contributions where original soft computing techniques, for instance new bio-inspired or physics-inspired metaheuristics, are applied to solve specific social network problems or to define new social network models. Real-world experimental studies, as well as presentations of new datasets, or algorithmic studies on novel techniques tested on publicly available datasets and scalability studies are especially welcome. We also encourage contributions from the Operational Research and Complex Networks/Statistical Physics perspectives based on bio- inspired or physics-inspired principles. *Topics and applications of interest* include, but are not limited to: - Influence maximization - Vaccination optimization - Virus diffusion control - Sentinel optimal placement for event detection - Community detection - Network clustering - Models of influence spread - Models of network dynamics *Chairs*: Giovanni Iacca, University of Trento, Italy Doina Bucur, University of Twente, The Netherlands *Important Dates*: Submission deadline: 15 November 2019 *Publication*: Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of EvoApplications, published in a volume of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Submission details can be found at: http://www.evostar.org/2020/?page_id=80 . -- Giovanni Iacca, Ph.D. Assistant Professor (RTD-b) Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science University of Trento Via Sommarive 9 - 38123 Povo - Trento (Italy) ph. +39 0461 28 5220 / +39 389 80 88 796 web: https://sites.google.com/site/giovanniiacca
