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.

the theory and application of operations research and management science
to problems in telecommunications and network analytics, with particular
emphasis on new and emerging technologies. Additionally, the conference
is going to provide a platform for academics and industry experts
working in telecommunications and network analytics to exchange ideas
and initiate new collaborations, as in previous conferences.
Submissions from the interested researchers are welcome for an organized
session with 3-4 presentations, a tutorial session or a single
presentation. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Telecommunications modeling, policy and technology;
* Data mining and big data applications in telecommunications;
* Machine learning and artificial intelligence in network analytics;
* Network economics;
* Network design;
* Traffic routing;
* Network optimization;
* Network algorithms and metaheuristics;
* Sensor networks;
* Wireless and broadband networks;
