[Opt-Net] Special issue of the EURO Journal on Computational Optimization on Robust Combinatorial Optimisation

[Michael Poss]

Dear Colleague

We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the Special Issue
of the EURO
Journal on Computational Optimization, dedicated to Robust Combinatorial
Optimization.

Robust optimization has become a central framework to handle the uncertainty
that arises in the parameters of optimization problems. While classical RO
results can efficiently handle linear programs for a large variety of
uncertainty sets, the situation is more complex for optimization
problems involving discrete decisions. Efficient exact or approximate solution
algorithms for such problems must exploit the combinatorial structure of
the problems at hand. The aim of the special issue is to invite
high-quality manuscripts addressing robust combinatorial optimization
problems and presenting convincing numerical results. A special interest
shall be devoted to papers considering extensions of well-known uncertainty
sets. Possible topics include, but are not restricted to:
• valid inequalities for robust MILPs,
• decomposition algorithms for robust MILPs,
• constraint programming approaches to robust combinatorial optimization,
• heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms for hard robust combinatorial
problems,
• ad-hoc combinatorial algorithms,
• novel applications of robust combinatorial optimization,
• multi-stage integer robust optimization,
• recoverable robust optimization,
• alternative robust combinatorial frameworks (min-max regret, light
robustness, ...).
Following the journal high standards, we expect high-quality contributions that
will undergo the strict reviewing process of EJCO. Submission deadline is
July 15 2017.

In order to submit a paper for the special issue,
1. Log on the editorial manager using the <Author Login> via the website
https://www.editorialmanager.com/ejco/
2. Select <Submit New Manuscript> in the main menu.
3. In the drop down list associated with <Choose Article Type> select
the desired
special issue
(« SI: Robust Combinatorial Optimisation »). Note that all entries
corresponding
to the special
issues start with SI.

We are looking forward to receiving your contributions.
