Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue titled Advances in Decision Analysis and Optimization Methods with an original research article or a comprehensive review. We welcome submissions that address both theoretical research and practical applications of decision analysis and optimization in complex systems. With the widespread adoption of Internet technology, digitization and intelligence are advancing rapidly. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital twins, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things are expected to be key drivers of scientific and technological progress in the coming decade, with broad applications across engineering, social, economic, and military domains. In the current era of "digital intelligence", the scope, methods, and objectives of decision-making processes have significantly expanded. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop new paradigms and theories to address the decision-making and optimization challenges posed by complex cyber–physical systems and human–machine hybrid intelligent systems.

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.
