ENGINEERING OPTIMIZATION

Engineering Optimization is an interdisciplinary engineering journal which serves the large technical community concerned with quantitative computational methods of optimization, and their application to engineering planning, design, manufacture and operational processes. The policy of the journal treats optimization as any formalized numerical process for improvement. Algorithms for numerical optimization are therefore mainstream for the journal, but equally welcome are papers which use the methods of operations research, decision support, statistical decision theory, systems theory, logical inference, knowledge-based systems, artificial intelligence, information theory and processing, and all methods which can be used in the quantitative modelling of the decision-making process.Innovation in optimization is an essential attribute of all papers but engineering applicability is equally vital. Engineering Optimization aims to cover all disciplines within the engineering community though its main focus is in the areas of environmental, civil, mechanical, aerospace and manufacturing engineering. Papers on both research aspects and practical industrial implementations are welcomed.All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

《工程优化》是一份跨学科的工程杂志，服务于大型技术社区，关注定量计算优化方法及其在工程规划、设计、制造和操作过程中的应用。该期刊的政策将优化视为任何形式的数值过程的改进。算法数值优化因此主流期刊,但同样欢迎论文运用运筹学的方法,决策支持,统计决策理论、系统理论、逻辑推理、知识系统、人工智能、信息论和处理,所有的方法都可以用于决策过程的定量模型。优化创新是所有论文的基本属性，但工程适用性同样重要。工程优化旨在涵盖工程领域的所有学科，但其主要关注领域是环境、土木、机械、航空航天和制造工程。欢迎有关研究方面和实际工业实施的论文。所有提交的稿件都要经过编辑的初步评估，如果发现适合进一步考虑，还要经过独立的、匿名的专家评审。所有的同行评审都是单盲的，通过ScholarOne手稿在线提交。
