CFP Special Issue on Fair Optimization and Networks
by Wlodzimierz Ogryczak 06 Nov '13

06 Nov '13

Dear Colleagues, We are editing a Special Issue on Fair Optimization and Networks: Models, Algorithms and Applications to be published by Journal of Applied Mathematics (an Open Access journal JCR indexed). http://www.hindawi.com/journals/jam/si/419729/cfp/ The issue of fairness is widely recognized in location and allocation analysis of public services. The need of fair optimization arrives also in more general problems of resource allocation such as in various network systems. Fair network optimization issues are in focus of diverse applications and problems arising in communication networks. These issues are closely related to situations where it is desirable to achieve an equitable allocation of certain resources, shared by competing demands. Fairness, more specifically, lexicographic maximin optimization, Max-Min Fairness and Proportional Fairness, are widely studied in the communication network literature, especially related to bandwidth allocation, and rate adaptation and congestion control in TCP networks. Still, this concept continues to be widely applicable in different settings in network optimization and more specifically in multi-commodity flow networks related applications. The special issue strives to serve as a platform for researchers and practitioners to present advances in the field. We invite authors to submit original research articles that propose new models, algorithms and applications of fair network optimization. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Fairness in communication network design including traffic routing, resource allocation, and survivability issues - Fair optimization of transportation networks - Network dimensioning, models and computational methods - Fair optimization of logistic networks - Fairness in sensor networks - Fair location and allocation of services - Fair allocation of resources, tasks, or costs - Fair scheduling The deadline for submissions is February 7, 2014. Attached, please find the call for papers, which also contains instructions for submissions.

Deadline Extension - Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Location Analysis"
by Sibel Alumur Alev 06 Nov '13

06 Nov '13

New Submission Deadline: October 28, 2013 Call for Papers Computers & Operations Research Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Location Analysis" Guest Editors: Sibel A. Alumur, Bahar Y. Kara The subjects of interest within location analysis are of many kinds, centering on the optimal choice of locations for one or more facilities, within any framework (the classical settings being discrete, network, and planar) in a way that optimizes a certain objective such as minimizing transportation costs, providing equitable service to customers, capturing the largest market share, etc. Many other fields have direct connections with location analysis, either by subject such as transportation and routing, supply chain management, environmental studies, layout and design, data and cluster analysis, or as techniques, like mathematical (linear, integer, non-linear, convex, global, ...) programming, multi-criteria analysis, approximation theory, computational geometry, statistics, etc. Recently, there have been several new developments in location analysis. The aim of this special issue is to collect high quality papers that address recent advances in theory, practice and application. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: * network location, * continuous location, * discrete location, * obnoxious location, * competitive location, * hub location, * location-routing, * location applications (logistics, network design), * exact and heuristic solution methods. Researchers from all relevant disciplines are invited to consider this special issue as an outlet to publish their high quality work on the topic. Submission Guidelines: All manuscripts should be submitted electronically via the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) <http://ees.elsevier.com/cor> http://ees.elsevier.com/cor. Corresponding author must select Special Issue: Recent Advances in Location Analysis as the Article Type to make sure that the paper will be considered for the special issue. Important Dates: The deadline for submission to the special issue is October 28, 2013. The plan is to publish the special issue in early 2015. Guest Editors: Sibel A.
