Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern manufacturing systems are becoming increasingly complex due to the increasing degree of automation and the flexibility required for producing customized products. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is currently under way, will increase the efficiency of production systems by taking advantage of modern technology. However, technology alone is not enough to achieve optimal performance; without efficient algorithms, optimization is impossible.
This Special Issue will present methods capable of performing the optimization tasks of today's advanced smart factories. We are looking for approaches that can solve different manufacturing problems with either exact or approximate methods. High-quality papers are welcome to address both theoretical and practical issues.
Dr. Tibor Holczinger

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
