Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in optimization techniques and computational models are essential tools for addressing complex problems in the production of goods and services, logistics, and supply chains. However, the design and control of these systems continue to present significant challenges for decision-makers, organizations, and industries.
Computational modeling and optimization are fundamental components of modern practices in engineering and industry. Despite progress in computational methods and optimization approaches in recent decades, many relevant problems remain unresolved. Therefore, it is crucial to integrate the latest trends in modeling and optimization with practical applications that drive both academic advancement and professional impact.
This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge research addressing the application of advanced computational models and optimization techniques to solve complex problems in production, logistics, and supply chains.
Topics of interest include the following:
- Mathematical and computational models in operations.
- Advanced optimization techniques.
- Artificial intelligence in supply chains.
- Planning and scheduling with stochastic and deterministic models.
- Resilient and sustainable logistics networks.
- Case studies in industrial sectors.
We invite researchers to contribute original, high-quality work to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Pedro Ivan Palominos

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
