Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to the latest advances and applications of multi-objective optimization techniques in various research areas. As human society develops, various optimization algorithms are designed and widely applied in different areas, such as heuristic algorithms, collaborative game algorithms, multi-time intervals algorithms, etc. Various multi-objective optimization techniques have been developed to prevent falling into local optima and derive desired solutions. When facing conflicting objectives, evolutionary multi-objective optimization techniques efficiently address these complicated scenarios with black-box search/optimization. Furthermore, as artificial intelligence evolves, the optimization of machine learning architectures has become a subject of particular interest. This Special Issue focuses on the latest advances and applications of multi-objective optimization for various real-world theoretical and practical issues. This SI will further contribute to the body of literature on social, mechanical, biomedical, aeronautical, and aerospace engineering, aiming to bring together scholars, researchers, industry personnel, academicians, and individuals in these fields to promote the exchange of novel ideas and findings.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multi-agent systems;
- Social computation;
- Data-driven multi-objective computation;
- High-dimensional and many-objective algorithms;
- Evolutionary learning for combinatorial optimization;
- Transport scheduling;
- Automated heuristic design;
- Data-driven multi-objective optimization;
- Parallelized multi-objective optimization;
- Many-objective multi-objective optimization;
- Large-scale multi-objective optimization;
- Machine learning architecture optimization;
- Application of multi-objective optimization bioinformatics, intelligent transportation, smart city, smart sensor networks, cybersecurity, and other critical application 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 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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
