Introduction
Any modern engineering, science and technological problems inevitably faces problems of uncertainty in various aspects such as natural disaster, chaotic decision making, human resource availability, processing capability and constraints and limitations imposed by the authority. This problem has to be solved by a methodology which takes care of such uncertain information. As the analyst solves this problem, the decision maker and the implementer have to coordinate with the analyst for taking up a decision on a successful strategic and holistic decision making for final implementation. Such a complex problems in an imperfect world can be solved by the robust and flexible optimization methodologies.
Objective
The objective of the special issue is to enlighten the researchers working on the development of innovative and novel techniques and methodologies to improve the performance of current development on the advanced algorithms related real world practical problems in the research areas of novel and modern optimization and its application in Engineering, Science and Technology.
