Optimization and Engineering - Special Issue on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems – SDEWES, dedicated to the SDEWES 2022 Conferences
Call for papers for Virtual Special Issue of the Optimization and Engineering Journal on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems – SDEWES, dedicated to the SDEWES 2022 Conferences
The background of this Virtual Special Issue (VSI) of the Optimization and Engineering (OPTE) journal are the 2022 Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES) Conferences. This broad field was discussed by the participants of three conferences held in 2022 – 3rd Latin American SDEWES Conference (Sao Paulo), 5th Southeast European SDEWES Conference (Vlorë) and 17th SDEWES Conference (Paphos).
This VSI aims at bringing together articles that discuss recent advances of optimization methods and algorithms that integrate various life supporting systems. Very often a decision making problem appears in the form of a parameter estimation problem, it can be formulated as an optimization model, and then solved using different optimization algorithms and techniques. All papers included in this VSI of the OPTE journal will consider aspects of numerical analysis, mathematical modeling, and computational methods involved in investigating, planning and implementing sustainable development. In this context, the guest editors have confidence that the selected papers and addressed issues will substantially contribute to the increase of the knowledge body published in the OPTE journal and the VSI will be a significant platform for researchers to discuss, share, and disseminate new ideas.
Information on the upcoming SDEWES events and other related activities can be found in the website of the International Centre for Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES Centre) at <www.sdewes.org (this opens in a new tab)>.
Proposed date of submission of final paper:
December 31, 2022 – first version of all papers
May 31, 2023 – final version of all papers

Submissions:
The Special Issue will be limited to the conference participants. A number of papers with archival quality, presented at the SDEWES2022 conferences, will be after the conferences selected for recommendation for submission in a Virtual Special Issue of the Optimization and Engineering journal. The submission procedure requires the submission of a manuscript to the Optimization and Engineering (OPTE) journal at https://www.springer.com/journal/11081 (this opens in a new tab) and select special issue “SI: SDEWES2022”. All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. Interested authors should consult the journal’s “Instructions for Authors”, at https://www.springer.com/journal/11081/submission-guidelines (this opens in a new tab). All submitted papers will be reviewed on a peer review basis as soon as they are received.
