Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue collects high-quality original research papers on the relevant applications of evolutionary computation (EC) techniques. Its primary focus is on contributions that showcase the practical implementation of EC algorithms for solving complex, real-world problems, exploring theoretical advancements, and proposing novel hybrid approaches.
We encourage case studies demonstrating the effectiveness of algorithms such as Genetic Algorithms, Particle Swarm Optimization, Ant Colony Optimization, and other EC and bio-inspired techniques in engineering, healthcare, and environmental science.
We are also interested in works that combine EC algorithms with other computational methods to tackle single- or multi-objective optimization problems. Additionally, contributions discussing the implementation of nature-inspired algorithms in distributed computing environments are highly valued. Topics of interest include parallel processing, cloud-based deployments, and the scalability of distributed bio-inspired algorithms.

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.
