Multiple Criteria Decision Making Algorithms in Engineering and Management

Dear Colleagues,

Many real-world problems are multi-criteria problems that naturally involve several competing objectives that are required to be optimized simultaneously, while respecting some constraints or selecting among feasible discrete alternatives. Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) is an effective systematic and quantitative way to deal with issues in the presence of several alternatives and several usually different criteria. Decision makers over the past few decades have successfully used MCDM approaches to solve problems in a variety of fields, such as engineering, management, business, economic, transport and logistic, and more. Later, fuzzy set theory laid the foundations for modeling of uncertainty, vagueness, and imprecision. MCDM has considerably expanded beyond classical and formal methodologies and has also involved intuitive and informal processes. Therefore, in addition to conventional MCDM methods, this Special Issue also welcomes their integration with uncertainty theory, such as fuzzy sets, rough sets, neutrosophic sets, etc. And for making decisions on very complex problems, appropriate and reliable solution algorithms and decision support systems are required. Therefore, we invite authors to submit their theoretical or experimental research presenting engineering, managerial and other problems’ solving algorithms dealing with multiple criteria decision making both in certain and uncertain environment.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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 1800 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.
