Network models provide insights to tackle a variety of problems in such
diverse areas as production, logistics, routing, location, among others.
Network structures are largely present in many industrial and service
contexts like supply chain, transportation, communication and natural
systems. In spite of the fundamental developments achieved since the
early days of Operations Research, the community still faces many
challenges in the field, ranging from modeling paradigms for hard
problems to the design and experimental evaluation of efficient methods
and algorithms. In view of its importance and applicability, this
special issue of Pesquisa Operacional aims to invite researchers to
submit unpublished original works, reviews, or case-studies in the
domain of optimization in networks. Topics include, but are not limited to:
• Network design, Network flows;
• Optimal trees;
• Queuing networks;
• Vehicle routing, Arc-routing;
• Inventory-routing, E-services and smart cities;
• Stochastic and Nonlinear models in network optimization;
• Network equilibrium models;
• Vehicular networks;
• Complex networks, Social networking, crowdsourcing;
• Communication networks. Energy efficient network;
• Network reliability and resilience.
Contributions may cover exact methods, relaxation and lower bound
schemes, approximate methods, heuristics and metaheuristics, hybrids
methods, and integrated models arising from real-world situations as well.
