Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Evolutionary computing has become a focus of attention during the last decades. Many interesting biologically inspired methods have been proposed to solve a wide variety of complex optimization problems. This rapidly evolving field has made tackling new applications possible in different areas of science, engineering, finance, or economics.

Optimization is present in many real-life problems. Thanks to the capabilities of modern computer systems, researchers face new challenges that require innovative technologies that go beyond the current state-of-the-art methods. A large number of methods, ranging from genetic and evolutionary algorithms to bio-inspired and multi-objective optimization, swarm intelligence, or metaheuristics, permit the solution of many types of problems in multiple areas. It is necessary to improve traditional methods or to propose new algorithms in order to cope with such demands. Focusing on applications is important for driving progress in this discipline and for solving increasingly complex and time-consuming problems.

The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together original contributions on the latest theories and applications of evolutionary computing. Articles with solid theoretical and practical contributions and with a focus on innovative applications in different areas of science, engineering, and economics 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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
