To commemorate fifty years since the founding of the journal Networks, we have created a two-part special issue that recalls the past, delineates exciting current areas of research, and looks as well to the future. We are indebted to Cole Smith and Raghu Raghavan for a superb job in organizing and guiding the creation of this special issue.
The March 2021 issue features eight contributions by distinguished leaders in network theory, algorithms, and practice.
- Ivana Ljubić, Solving Steiner trees: Recent advances, challenges, and perspectives
- Richard T. Wong, Telecommunications network design: Technology impacts and future directions
- Thomas C. Sharkey, Sarah G. Nurre Pinkley, Daniel A. Eisenberg and David L. Alderson, In search of network resilience: An optimization‐based view
- Claudia Archetti and Luca Bertazzi, Recent challenges in Routing and Inventory Routing: E‐commerce and last‐mile delivery
- Niels Agatz, Mike Hewitt and Barrett W. Thomas, "Make no little plans": Impactful research to solve the next generation of transportation problems
- James B. Orlin and Xiao-yue Gong, A fast maximum flow algorithm
- Richard S. Barr, Fred Glover, Toby Huskinson and Gary Kochenberger, An extreme‐point tabu‐search algorithm for fixed‐charge network problems
- Mohd. Hafiz Hasan and Pascal Van Hentenryck, Large-scale zone-based evacuation planning, Part II: Macroscopic and microscopic evaluations
