Machine learning and optimization research communities have been increasingly gathering efforts to face hard global optimization problems. For example, optimization is largely used for setting the parameters of machine learning models, or to create more compact data representations without much loss of information. In turn, machine learning is widely used for data-driven optimization yielding methods better tailored for the final practical applications. The objective of this special issue is to publish innovative global optimization algorithms revolving around the combination of optimization and machine learning techniques. We encourage submissions on theory, methods, and applications focusing on a broad range of optimization and machine learning approaches in various domains. The deadline for submissions is July 31, 2019. Papers will be peer- reviewed according to the editorial policy of the Journal of Global Optimization. They should be original, unpublished, and not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Contributions should be prepared according to the instructions to authors that can be found in the journal homepage. Authors should upload their contributions using the submission site https://www.editorialmanager.com/jogo/, by selecting the option SI: GERAD-40. You can read the call for papers here: https://www.springer.com/mathematics/journal/10898/PSE?detailsPage=societies Other inquiries should be sent directly to the Guest Editors in charge of this issue: Daniel Aloise, [log in to unmask] Gilles Caporossi, [log in to unmask] Sebastien Le Digabel, [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------- From: Irena Lasiecka [log in to unmask] Date: January 30, 2019 Subject: Contents, EECT Evolution Equations and Control Theory, 8 (1) I am pleased to inform you the new issue EECT 8-1 March 2019 special issue is now online. http://aimsciences.org/journal/A0000-0000/2019/8/1 Introduction to the special issue "Nonlinear wave phenomena in continuum physics: Some recent findings", Pedro M.
