Journal Title：Optimization Methods & Software

Optimization Methods and Software

publishes refereed papers on the latest developments in the theory and realization of optimization methods, with particular emphasis on the interface between software development and algorithm design.

Topics include:

Theory, implementation and performance evaluation of algorithms and computer codes for linear, nonlinear, discrete, stochastic optimization and optimal control. This includes in particular conic, semi-definite, mixed integer, network, non-smooth, multi-objective and global optimization by deterministic or nondeterministic algorithms.

Algorithms and software for complementarity, variational inequalities and equilibrium problems, and also for solving inverse problems, systems of nonlinear equations and the numerical study of parameter dependent operators.

Various aspects of efficient and user-friendly implementations: e.g. automatic differentiation, massively parallel optimization, distributed computing, on-line algorithms, error sensitivity and validity analysis, problem scaling, stopping criteria and symbolic numeric interfaces.

Theoretical studies with clear potential for applications and successful applications of specially adapted optimization methods and software to fields like engineering, machine learning, data mining, economics, finance, biology, or medicine. These submissions should not consist solely of the straightforward use of standard optimization techniques.

優(yōu)化方法與軟件

發(fā)表關(guān)于優(yōu)化方法理論和實(shí)現(xiàn)最新發(fā)展的同行評(píng)審論文，特別強(qiáng)調(diào)軟件開發(fā)與算法設(shè)計(jì)之間的接口。

主題包括：

線性、非線性、離散、隨機(jī)優(yōu)化和最優(yōu)控制的算法和計(jì)算機(jī)代碼的理論、實(shí)現(xiàn)和性能評(píng)估。這尤其包括通過確定性或非確定性算法進(jìn)行的圓錐、半正定、混合整數(shù)、網(wǎng)絡(luò)、非光滑、多目標(biāo)和全局優(yōu)化。

用于互補(bǔ)、變分不等式和平衡問題的算法和軟件，以及用于解決逆問題、非線性方程組和參數(shù)相關(guān)算子的數(shù)值研究的算法和軟件。

高效和用戶友好實(shí)現(xiàn)的各個(gè)方面：例如自動(dòng)微分、大規(guī)模并行優(yōu)化、分布式計(jì)算、在線算法、誤差敏感性和有效性分析、問題擴(kuò)展、停止標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和符號(hào)數(shù)字接口。

具有明顯應(yīng)用潛力的理論研究，以及將特別調(diào)整的優(yōu)化方法和軟件成功應(yīng)用于工程、機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)、數(shù)據(jù)挖掘、經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)、金融、生物學(xué)或醫(yī)學(xué)等領(lǐng)域。這些提交不應(yīng)僅包括標(biāo)準(zhǔn)優(yōu)化技術(shù)的直接使用。

Optimization Methods & Software創(chuàng)刊于1991年，由Taylor and Francis Ltd.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術(shù) - 計(jì)算機(jī)：軟件工程全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級(jí)別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對(duì)來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯(cuò)，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約9.0個(gè)月 ，影響因子指數(shù)1.4，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
