Intelligent Operations, Game Analysis and Decision Making in Platform-Based Supply Chains

Dear Colleagues,

In the contemporary business landscape, platform-based supply chains have emerged as a pivotal force. These supply chains leverage digital platforms to integrate manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and customers into a cohesive and dynamic ecosystem. This integration has not only enhanced efficiency but also introduced new complexities that require advanced methodologies to manage and optimize.

This Special Issue invites submissions exploring intelligent operations, game analysis, and decision making in platform-based supply chains. It seeks high-quality research leveraging mathematical models, algorithms, and computational analysis to address challenges in platform-based supply chain optimization, resource allocation, and strategic interactions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Game analysis and decision making: Modeling competition, cooperation, and incentive design in platform-based supply chain.
• Mathematical models and algorithms: Solving complex optimization problems in multi-agent platform systems.
• Data-driven approaches: Extracting valuable insights to enhance strategic interactions and intelligent operations.
• Computational and behavioral analysis: Optimizing performance in platform-retail ecosystems.

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-anonymized 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.
