Here are a few societies that I like (look at their blogs, magazines, and journals):

Optimization

💡
This leads me to quote from Webster's dictionary of the English language (pre-1960), where we find that the verb 'to optimize' means "to view with optimism.”

Linear programming

Gurobi, Lindo, and Cplex

Terminology

Linear programming. Mathematical technique in which a linear function is maximized or minimized subject to linear constraints.

Objective function. Linear function to be maximized or minimized.

The Standard Maximum Problem. Find a x=(x1,...,xn)Tx=(x_1,...,x_n)^T such that

Objetive function: Max cTxFunctional constraints: AxbConstraints: x0\text{Objetive function: }\text{Max }c^Tx \\ \text{Functional constraints: } Ax\le b\\ \text{Constraints: }x \ge 0

Feasible set. Set of x=(x1,...,xn)x=(x_1,...,x_n) such that checks the functional constraints and constraints.

The Standard Maximum Feasible Set. Set of x=(x1,...,xn)x=(x_1,...,x_n) such that

Functional constraints: AxbConstraints: x0\text{Functional constraints: } Ax\le b\\ \text{Constraints: }x \ge 0

Markov chains

Ergodic Markov Chains

Ergodic. Involving or relating to the probability that any state will recur; especially: having zero probability that any state will never recur.

Stability

Waiting Line systems and Queue theory

When you encounter systems displaying characteristics of waiting phenomena, like distributed systems and queues in real life, you often resort to applying queue theory. This approach entails evaluating and enhancing system performance by characterizing these phenomena through mathematical models and simulations.

More concretely, queue theory is used to model systems that exhibit concurrent access to a shared resource such as highway toll station, line at a restaurant, airport check, bandwidth, server, disk, memory,
