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

*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
