COMOSA 2025, formerly known as VORN (Vietnam Operations Research Network) Annual Meeting, provides a premier interdisciplinary forum to bring together researchers, practitioners, and students from all fields related to optimization, modeling, simulation, and analytics. The primary objective of the workshop is to foster collaboration, share insights, and explore innovative solutions to real-world problems through discussions on the latest advancements and applications in these domains.

The conference seeks to address emerging and impactful computational challenges, with a focus on theoretical foundations, methodological advances, and real-world applications. We invite submissions of original and unpublished research contributions across theoretical, methodological, and applied domains. COMOSA 2025 will be hosted at VinUniversity in the vibrant city of Hanoi, Vietnam.
