Special issue description:

This special issue is dedicated to fostering the collaboration between optimization experts, industrial practitioners, and management scientists. Our aim is to address significant practical problems in Engineering and management through the application of advanced optimization techniques.

The primary objective of this special issue is to bridge the gap between theoretical optimization methodologies and practical applications in Engineering and management. We are seeking original research that applies intelligent computing and advanced optimization techniques to solve complex and challenging problems in these fields. Our focus is on promoting significant contributions to optimization methods, with a direct impact on real-world Engineering applications.

This is a call for papers that make a significant contribution to the topic of “Smart Optimization Methods for Engineering and Management Problems”. It is open to all researchers of this area. We would like to encourage, in particular, all participants of the IEEE 2024 International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT 2024), held in Valletta (Malta), July 01-04, 2024 (https://codi2024.com (this opens in a new tab)), to submit extended versions of their presented papers.

Topics of Interest: We invite submissions that cover a range of topics, including but not limited to:

  • Simulation-Based Optimization: Innovative uses of simulation in optimizing industrial and management processes
  • Data-Driven Optimization Algorithms: Research focusing on the development and application of algorithms that leverage data analytics in industrial and management contexts.
  • Mathematical Programming Approaches: Advanced applications of mathematical programming in solving industrial and management challenges
  • Matheuristic Methods: Papers exploring matheuristic methods and their applications in complex optimization configurations
  • Multiobjective Optimization Techniques: Studies dealing with multiobjective or multicriteria decision-making in Engineering and management problems.

Application Areas: We encourage submissions that demonstrate the applicability of smart optimization methods in various domains, including but not limited to:

  • Energy Systems
  • Telecommunication
  • Industrial Systems
  • Supply Chain Management 
  • Transportation and Logistics
  • Healthcare Systems
  • Environmental Management
  • Control Systems

Submission Guidelines:

  • Manuscripts must be original and not currently under review by other journals or conferences
  • Submissions should adhere to the journal's standard formatting and submission guidelines
  • Each paper will undergo a rigorous peer-review process, ensuring high standards of academic quality and relevance.

Key Dates:

Submission deadline: November 15, 2024

First-round review decisions:  January 15, 2025

Deadline for revision submissions: February 15, 2025

Notification of Final Acceptance: March 30, 2025


Submission Process: Manuscripts should be submitted electronically through the journal's submission system at https://www.springer.com/mathematics/journal/11081 (this opens in a new tab). Please indicate that the submission is for this special issue. Interested authors should consult the journal’s “Instructions for Authors”, at https://www.springer.com/mathematics/journal/11081 (this opens in a new tab).

All submitted papers will be reviewed on a peer review basis as soon as they are received. Accepted papers will become immediately available at Online First until the complete Special Issue appears.
