Call For Papers

Networks is an academic journal published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.. (ISSN 1097-0037, impact factor 1.3, CCF C).

Aims and Scope 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 analytic modeling of problems using networks, the mathematical analysis of network problems, the design of computationally efficient network algorithms, and innovative case studies of successful network applications. We do not typically publish works that fall in the realm of pure graph theory (without significant algorithmic and modeling contributions) or papers that deal with engineering aspects of network design. 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. Readership Computer scientists · applied mathematicians · electrical engineers · operations researchers · professionals in telecommunications systems, power systems, and electrical networks Keywords network flows, multicommodity flows, optimal paths, optimal trees, Steiner trees, network models, network algorithms, network design, network reliability, network interdiction, stochastic networks, telecommunication networks, transportation networks, combinatorial optimization, vehicle routing, scheduling, fault tolerance, journal, online journal, Wiley Online Library
