Optimization Techniques, Algorithms, Applications for Cloud and Edge/Fog Computing Environments

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your latest research in the area of the development of optimization algorithms and their applications to this Special Issue, “Optimization Techniques, Algorithms, and Applications for Cloud and Edge/Fog Computing Environments”. Edge–cloud–fog systems are very complex, and the use of different approaches in their design, development, and operational processes is inevitable. We are looking for new and innovative approaches for solving optimization problems arising in cloud, edge, and fog computing. High-quality papers are solicited to address both theoretical and practical issues of optimization algorithms. Submissions are welcome both for traditional optimization techniques and new applications for cloud, edge, and fog computing. Potential topics include but are not limited to single-criterion and multicriteria optimization problems, as well as problems arising in emerging applications, such as healthcare, smart manufacturing, smart agriculture, logistic, transport, web services, energy management, and smart home and city.

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.
