Special Issue: New Trends of Combinatorial Optimization and Application

We invite submissions of novel research articles for a forthcoming special issue of Annals of Operations Research on New Trends of Combinatorial Optimization and Applications . This special issue is open to all papers in this area. We would like to encourage, in particular, the participants of the international conference of the Tunisian Operational Research Society (TORS) that will be held in Sousse, Tunisia, November 1–3, 2022 (https://torsconference.wixsite.com/tors22) to submit extended versions of their papers presented in the conference. Contributions arising from papers given at a conference should be substantially extended, and should cite the conference paper where appropriate.

High quality research papers are solicited to address theoretical as well as practical issues of recent applications of Combinatorial Optimization. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Approximation algorithms

• Cutting plane algorithms

• Local search algorithms

• Computational complexity

• Graph and network algorithms

• Linear and nonlinear (mixed-) integer programming

Examples of applications:

Telecommunication and Transportation, Scheduling, Logistics, Timetabling, Supply Chain Management, Portfolio Optimization, Covering and Packing, Data Mining, Lot-Sizing, Facility Location, Machine Learning, Renewable Energy, Sustainability, etc.
