Call for Papers
Optimization and Engineering
Special Issue on
Nonlinear Programming with Applications to Engineering

 

The past two decades have witnessed tremendous research activities in optimization methods with applications to various areas of engineering. This special issue of Optimization and Engineering is intended to attract the top research work on nonlinear optimization methods with applications to engineering. It will present the state-of-the-art applications of nonlinear optimization techniques in engineering. Papers considered are in the broadest sense of engineering. We invite high quality papers that exemplify modeling, design, analysis, simulation, and applications of nonlinear optimization from an engineering perspective. This special issue is addressed to a large audience that includes both academia and industry. It will show recent developments in the field. Prospective authors are strongly encouraged to make their papers as accessible as possible to the wide variety of readers.

 

All papers will be rigorously refereed according to the standards of Optimization and Engineering. Papers should conform to the Instructions for Authors shown on the inside back of Optimization and Engineering (see http://www.cas.mcmaster.ca/~terlaky/OPTE/opte.html). Five hard copies should be submitted to: Kluwer Academic Publishers, Journals Editorial Office, 101 Philip Drive, Assinippi Park, Norwell, MA 02061, U.S.A. The cover letter must include the title of the special issue and the title of the journal. The deadline for submission is December 15, 2004, and the review of each submission will start as soon as it is received.
