About the journal
Aiming to close the gap between optimization theory and the practice of engineering...
Optimization and Engineering is a multidisciplinary journal. Its primary goal is to promote the application of optimization methods in the general area of engineering sciences. This includes facilitating the development of advanced optimization methods sciences for direct or indirect use in engineering sciences. The journal provides a forum in which engineering scientists obtain information about recent advances of optimization sciences, and researchers in mathematical optimization learn about the needs of engineering sciences and successful applications of optimization methods. Its aim is to close the gap between optimization theory and the practice of engineering.
All optimization methods of relevance to applications in engineering sciences will be considered: deterministic and stochastic, continuous, mixed integer and discrete, when they are relevant to applications in engineering sciences. The journal also strives to publish successful applications of optimization in various engineering areas.
Topics of Interest:
Optimization: All mathematical methods and algorithms of mathematical optimization. Numerical and implementation issues, optimization software, benchmarking, case studies. Specifically: linear and convex optimization, general nonlinear and nonlinear mixed-integer optimization, combinatorial optimization, equilibrium, multilevel and multiobjective optimization, stochastic optimization.
Engineering Sciences: Electrical engineering, VLSI design, robotics, mechanical and structural engineering, geophysical engineering, civil engineering, industrial engineering, chemical and process engineering, aerospace engineering, water management, environmental and bioengineering, transportation and communication sciences.
Education: The goal of the education section is to promote understanding and appreciation of optimization theory and techniques. The Education section will publish material aimed at educating students, engineers, managers, and potential users of optimization methodology. All submitted articles should be written at a level appropriate readers without a strong background in optimization.

| Online Manuscript Submission |
| Springer now offers authors, editors and reviewers of Optimization and Engineering the use of our fully web-enabled online manuscript submission and review system. To keep the review time as short as possible, we request authors to submit manuscripts online to the journal‘s editorial office. Our online manuscript submission and review system offers authors the option to track the progress of the review process of manuscripts in real time. Manuscripts should be submitted to: (please use the URL below)
The online manuscript submission and review system for Optimization and Engineering offers easy and straightforward log-in and submission procedures. This system supports a wide range of submission file formats: for manuscripts - Word, WordPerfect, RTF, TXT and LaTex; for figures - TIFF, GIF, JPEG, EPS, PPT, and Postscript. PDF is not an acceptable file format.
NOTE: In case you encounter any difficulties while submitting your manuscript online, please get in touch with the responsible Editorial Assistant by clicking on “CONTACT US?from the tool bar.
Authors are requested to download the Consent to Publish and Transfer of Copyright form from the journal’s online submission system (see the URL provided below). Please send a completed and duly signed form either by mail or fax to the Editorial Office of Optimization and Engineering as instructed on the form. Authors should still follow the regular instructions for authors when preparing their manuscripts (see below).
OPTE features a unique refereeing process. Each paper is reviewed for both mathematical rigorousness and engineering relevance. The refereeing is done by anonymous reviewers.

| Manuscript Style |
| 1. Typeset, double or 1 1/2 space; use one side of sheet only (laser printed, typewritten and good quality duplication acceptable).
2. Use an informative title for the paper and include an abstract of 100 to 250 words at the head of the manuscript. The abstract should be a carefully worded description of the problem addressed, the key ideas introduced, and the results. Abstracts will be printed with the article.
3. Provide a separate double−spaced sheet listing all footnotes, beginning with "affiliation of author" and continuing with numbered footnotes.
4. Acknowledgment of financial support may be given if appropriate.
5. References should follow the author−date format (Brown, 1994). The reference listing should appear separately in alphabetical order at the end of the paper. References should be complete, in the following style:
|
Style for papers:
Author(s) initials followed by last name for each author, paper title, publication name, volume, inclusive page numbers, month and year.
|
|
Style for books:
Author(s), title, publisher, location, year, chapter or page numbers (if desired).
|

6. Type mathematical expressions exactly as they should appear in print. Use appropriate typeface. Journal style for letter symbols is as follows: variables, italic type (indicated by underline); constants, roman text type; matrices and vectors, boldface type (indicated by wavy underline). Use appropriate typeface. It will be assumed that letters in displayed equations are to be set in italic type unless you mark them otherwise. All letter symbols in text discussion must be marked if they should be italic or boldface. Indicate best breaks for equations in case they will not fit on one line. Numbers for displayed equations should appear in parentheses flush with the right margin.

| Illustration Style |
| 1. Originals for illustrations should be sharp, noise−free, and of good contrast. We regret that we cannot provide drafting or art service.
2. Each figure should be mentioned in the text and numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. Specify the desired location of each figure in the text. Each figure must have a caption. Proper style for captions, e.g., "Figure 1. Buffer occupancy for various bit rates."
3. Number each table consecutively using Arabic numerals. Please label any material that can be typeset as a table, reserving the term "figure" for material that has been drawn. Specify the desired location of each table in the text. Type a brief title above each table.
4. All lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction.
5. Suggested figure formats: TIFF, GIF, EPS, PPT, and Postscript. Files should be at least 300 dpi.

| Springer Open Choice |
| In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Springer now provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice. A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular 'subscription−based' article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springer's online platform SpringerLink. To publish via Springer Open Choice, upon acceptance please click on the link below to complete the relevant order form and provide the required payment information. Payment must be received in full before publication or articles will publish as regular subscription−model articles. We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for published articles.
