Computational Modelling and Optimization in Production, Logistics, and Supply Chain

Dear Colleagues,

Optimization techniques and computational models are widely used to address complex problems including production, logistics, and supply chain. Designing and controlling complex production and logistics systems, and supply chain networks have always been challenging for decision-makers, organizations, and industry. Computational modelling and optimization form an integrated part of any modern design practice in engineering and industry. Despite the tremendous progress on computational methods and optimization approaches over the last few decades, many challenging issues remain unresolved. Thus, introducing recent trends in modelling and optimization, and their applications are of prime importance to both scholars and practitioners.

This special issue aims to publish state-of-the-art research papers concerning the application of Computational models and optimization techniques to tackle the production, logistics, and supply chain problems. We highly encourage and invite researchers to contribute to this special issue by submitting their high-quality research and review articles in these areas.

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.
