Numerical and Evolutionary Optimization 2020

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will consist of selected papers presented at the 8th International Workshop on Numerical and Evolutionary Optimization (NEO 2020), as well as other works related to NEO. High-quality papers considered to fit the scope of the journal will be evaluated by reviewers and those that are accepted will be published free of charge.

NEO 2020 focuses on optimization problems related to energy, however, all contributions related to numerical and evolutionary optimization are welcome. See http://neo.cinvestav.mx for more detailed information about the event.

The topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

A) Optimization, machine learning and metaheuristics applied to:

• Energy production and consumption;
• Wind power;
• Solar and PV energy;
• Nuclear energy;
• Bioenergy;
• Ocean energy;
• Hydro energy;

B) Search and optimization:

• Single- and multi-objective optimization;
• Advances in evolutionary algorithms and genetic programming;
• Hybrid and memetic algorithms;
• Set oriented numerics;
• Stochastic optimization;
• Robust optimization;

C) Real world problems:

• Energy optimization and prediction;
• Modeling and control of real-world energy systems;
• Smart cities.

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. Mathematical and Computational Applications 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 1600 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.
