Simulation Modeling and Optimization Algorithms in Construction

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your latest research in the area of the development of optimization algorithms to this Special Issue, “Simulation Modeling and Optimization Algorithms in Construction”. We are looking for new and innovative algorithms for solving problems in engineering and construction. High-quality papers are sought that address both theoretical and practical issues in improvement in engineering and construction practices using simulation modeling algorithms and artificial intelligence algorithms. Submissions are welcome on both fundamental and theoretical research, as well as professional applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, multiagent systems, artificial neural networks, Monte Carlo simulation, qualitative and quantitative modeling, multicriteria decision making, as well as a broad spectrum of professional applications in engineering and construction, such as risk, energy, safety, productivity, and performance.

Dr. Mohammad Raoufi

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. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
