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.

優化方法與軟件

發表關于優化方法理論和實現最新發展的同行評審論文，特別強調軟件開發與算法設計之間的接口。

主題包括：

線性、非線性、離散、隨機優化和最優控制的算法和計算機代碼的理論、實現和性能評估。這尤其包括通過確定性或非確定性算法進行的圓錐、半正定、混合整數、網絡、非光滑、多目標和全局優化。

用于互補、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相關算子的數值研究的算法和軟件。

高效和用戶友好實現的各個方面：例如自動微分、大規模并行優化、分布式計算、在線算法、誤差敏感性和有效性分析、問題擴展、停止標準和符號數字接口。

具有明顯應用潛力的理論研究，以及將特別調整的優化方法和軟件成功應用于工程、機器學習、數據挖掘、經濟學、金融、生物學或醫學等領域。這些提交不應僅包括標準優化技術的直接使用。

Optimization Methods & Software創刊于1991年，由Taylor and Francis Ltd.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋工程技術 - 計算機：軟件工程全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約9.0個月 ，影響因子指數1.4，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
