Call for Papers - Networks special issue

Submission deadline: August 31, 2026

Following the INOC 2026 conference in HEC Liège, Management School of Liège University, the European Network Optimisation Group (ENOG) invites members of the network optimisation community to submit their full papers for consideration in a special issue of the Networks journal published by Wiley.

Full paper versions of extended abstracts presented at INOC 2026 are welcome, as are papers from the wider networks optimisation community. Note, submissions must be substantially different to full papers published in the INOC 2026 post conference proceedings, the paper must include a valuable contribution beyond that in the INOC 2026 conference paper.

Submitted papers must be original, unpublished and not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers will undergo the standard peer review procedures at Networks and will be published online as soon as they are accepted.

Topics for the conference include but are not restricted to:

• Network Optimization
• Areas of Mathematical Optimization
• Operations Research
• Graph Theory
• Application-oriented network optimization from areas like Telecommunications, Routing, Smart Grids, and Logistics are most welcome

Guest Editors:
