Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Dynamic environments in complexity theory describes situations where either the instance is unknown a priori, or it changes with time (data and the relations between them), or every datum is finally present with some probability. There are three well-known dynamic optimization models, namely:

—Online algorithms (where the future input is unknown and is revealed datum by datum, or by sets of data)

—Probabilistic optimization (where the presence of a datum in a final instance has some probability)

—Reoptimization models (where an initial instance of a combinatorial problem together with a solution are given, and a subset of the initial data disappears)

For all of these models, the objective is to compute the best possible solution for the final instance.

For this Special Issue, we invite submissions of articles that describe recent advances in the design and analysis of algorithms handling problems in dynamic environments as described above, that to the proposal of other dynamic models.

Both original research papers and surveys are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
