Combinatorial Optimization (dedicated to CTW18)
===========================================================================================================
We are calling for full papers to be published on a special issue of
Discrete Applied Mathematics (DAM) dedicated to the broad topics of
graph theory and combinatorial optimization. This issue follows the
16th edition of the Cologne-Twente Workshop (CTW) on those same
topics. The CTW18 took place at the Conservatoire National des Arts et
M\'etiers (CNAM), in Paris, on 18-20 june 2018.
The series of Cologne Twente Workshops on Graphs and Combinatorial
Optimization started with meetings organized every two years by the
universities of Cologne and Twente. The organizational base was later
expanded to other universities. Since 2003 the workshop is held
(almost) every year. The 2019 edition is going to be in Twente
<http://wwwhome.math.utwente.nl/~ctw/>.
This special issue is open to the topics of graph theory,
combinatorial optimization, discrete algorithms and/or mathematical
programming. It is not restricted to papers by authors who attended
the CTW18 workshop, and we are not inviting ``best papers'' presented
to the workshop, as is sometimes customary in computer science today.
Instead, anyone who wishes to submit a paper to this issue on the
aforementioned topics is welcome to. Of course, those who did attended
CTW18 are specially encouraged to submit a paper.
The CTW culture is closer to mathematics (light peer-review at the
workshop, and rigorous peer-review for the journal issue) than
computer science (in general, the reverse). Accordingly, papers will
be reviewed following the high standard of DAM, requiring two out of
two positive recommendations for acceptance.
We have a tentative submission deadline set to 31st March 2019, but
this deadline is not necessarily strict *to the day*. Interested
authors should apply to us for extensions. Any paper submitted before
deadline will be treated immediately. So, if your paper is ready, feel
free to submit it now.
In order to submit, log on (as an Author) to Elsevier's EES Editorial
Manager for DAM at <https://ees.elsevier.com/dam/>, click on "Submit
new manuscript", then, at the bottom of the first screen, for "Choose
article type", select "SI: CTW18" from the menu. THIS IS VERY
IMPORTANT: if you do not select the CTW18 Special Issue explicitly,
your paper will be handled by DAM's Editor-in-Chief (Endre Boros), and
will NOT go to this special issue.
For any query, contact Leo Liberti <leoliberti@gmail.com>.
