Special Issue for 2020 International Workshop on Modern Optimization and Applications (MOA 2020)

The Journal of Global Optimization (JoGO) publishes carefully refereed papers that deal with all theoretical, computational, and applied aspects of global optimization. In addition to papers covering theory and algorithms of global optimization, JoGO also publishes important papers on numerical experiments and applications in engineering, management, and science. A special issue will be published for MOA 2020, which was a virtual workshop taking place from January 6 to February 9, 2021.

We cordially invite submissions of original research articles or survey papers on recent progress in global optimization and related areas to this special issue. The issue only accepts the following two types of submissions: submissions from the (online) participants of MOA 2020 and submissions invited by the editors. All the submitted manuscripts will go through a standard JoGO peer-review process. 

The topics of the special issue include but are not limited to: 

• Global Optimization in Big Data
• Global Optimization in Networks
• Global Optimization in Information Sciences 
• Global Optimization in Industry and Management
• Integer and Combinatorial Optimization
• Stochastic Optimization 
• Optimization Modeling

IMPORTANT DATES:

• Submission deadline: August 31, 2021
• Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2022
