Modeling and Optimization of Complex Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Complex systems are present in a wide range of domains, including manufacturing, transportation, communication networks, energy systems, logistics, biological processes, and socio-economic systems. These systems are often characterized by large scale, dynamic behavior, interdependencies, and uncertainty, making their modeling, analysis, and optimization particularly challenging.

The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together recent advances in mathematical modeling, simulation, and optimization of complex systems, with an emphasis on approaches that can address real-world complexity and support decision-making. Contributions may focus on the development of novel mathematical frameworks, computational techniques, and optimization strategies, as well as on innovative applications in engineering, industry, and science.

We welcome original research articles, review papers, and short communications that contribute to advancing the theory, methodology, and applications of modeling and optimization for complex systems. Applications across engineering, transportation, logistics, energy, telecommunications, and interdisciplinary domains are particularly encouraged.

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. 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.
