It is well known between researchers and practitioners that real world optimization problems involve uncertainty. Namely, the data or parameters of practical decision making problems are often noisy or fluctuating. For this reason, nowadays many efforts are employed in obtaining methods and mathematical tools that allow solving this kind of problems effectively and efficiently. This mini symposium tries to show some recent contributions to this issue from several frameworks and approaches like the so-called robust optimization, interval and fuzzy optimization and the parameter identification in stochastic differential equations or in differential equations involving random data.
