Metaheuristic Algorithms, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Metaheuristic algorithms continue to be at the forefront of research, attracting attention across various fields including engineering, transportation, planning, logistics, and beyond. These algorithms are effective for solving complex problems in combinatorial optimization, often yielding high-quality solutions with less computational effort compared to traditional optimization methods.

Building upon the success of the first edition, the Special Issue titled “Metaheuristic Algorithms, 2nd Edition” aims to showcase recent advancements in both combinatorial and continuous optimization problems.

Authors from academia and industry are invited to submit original research and review articles to share their latest findings in this dynamic and evolving domain.

Prof. Dr. Petr Stodola

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.
