Feature Papers in Combinatorial Optimization, Graph, and Network Algorithms
This special issue belongs to the section “Combinatorial Optimization, Graph, and Network Algorithms“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topical Collection “Feature Paper in Combinatorial Optimization, Graph, and Network Algorithms” aims to collect high-quality research articles and review articles in the wide fields of combinatorial optimization, graph theory, operations research and industrial engineering. The topics are of great interest both in academia and industry, spanning from theoretical results to applied contributions. Artificial Intelligence is becoming a popular tool in the field, therefore contributions incorporating such an aspect are encouraged. Survey papers are also welcome.
Prof. Dr. Roberto Montemanni
Collection Editor
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.
