NETWORKS

英文简介

Network problems are pervasive in our modern technological society, as witnessed by our reliance on physical networks that provide power, communication, and transportation. As well, a number of processes can be modeled using logical networks, as in the scheduling of interdependent tasks, the dating of archaeological artifacts, or the compilation of subroutines comprising a large computer program. Networks provide a common framework for posing and studying problems that often have wider applicability than their originating context.The goal of this journal is to provide a central forum for the distribution of timely information about network problems, their design and mathematical analysis, as well as efficient algorithms for carrying out optimization on networks. The nonstandard modeling of diverse processes using networks and network concepts is also of interest. Consequently, the disciplines that are useful in studying networks are varied, including applied mathematics, operations research, computer science, discrete mathematics, and economics.Networks publishes material on the modeling of problems using networks, the analysis of network problems, the design of computationally efficient network algorithms, and innovative case studies of successful network applications. Since the audience for this journal is then necessarily broad, articles that impact multiple application areas or that creatively use new or existing methodologies are especially appropriate. We seek to publish original, well-written research papers that make a substantive contribution to the knowledge base. In addition, tutorial and survey articles are welcomed. All manuscripts are carefully refereed.

中文简介

网络问题在我们现代科技社会中无处不在，我们对提供电力、通信和交通的物理网络的依赖就是明证。此外，可以使用逻辑网络对许多过程建模，例如在相互依赖任务的调度、考古文物的年代测定或包含大型计算机程序的子例程的编译中。网络为提出和研究问题提供了一个共同的框架，而这些问题往往比它们最初的背景具有更广泛的适用性。这本杂志的目的是提供一个中心论坛，及时发布有关网络问题的信息，它们的设计和数学分析，以及对网络进行优化的有效算法。使用网络和网络概念对不同流程进行非标准建模也很有意义。因此，对研究网络有用的学科是多种多样的，包括应用数学、运筹学、计算机科学、离散数学和经济学。网络出版关于使用网络建立问题模型、分析网络问题、设计计算效率高的网络算法和成功网络应用的创新案例研究的材料。由于本杂志的读者必然广泛，因此影响多个应用领域或创造性地使用新方法或现有方法的文章尤其合适。我们力求发表原创的、文笔优美的研究论文，为知识库做出实质性贡献。此外，指南和调查文章是受欢迎的。所有手稿都经过仔细审阅。
