>>>>>  Meta-heuristics optimization has been successfully applied to many
>>>>> aspects of Applied Mathematics and Science. For example, as reported in the
>>>>> literature, Gravitational search algorithm GSA), Genetic algorithm (GA),
>>>>> Particle swarm optimization (PSO), Ant colony optimization (ACO), Bat
>>>>> Algorithm (BA), Fire Fly (FF), Evolutionary algorithm (EA)and several
>>>>> hybrid swarm evolutionary algorithms have been adopted to handle complex
>>>>> and uncertain real world optimization problems[1,2]. On the other hand,
>>>>> advances in hybrid optimization techniques, an important section in
>>>>> Mathematics and Science, also assist optimization algorithm experts to
>>>>> develop better methods. For instance, hybrid algorithm has been utilized
>>>>> for finding the relationship among decision variables for optimizers. In
>>>>> order to bridge the concepts and methodologies from the two ends, this
>>>>> special issue focus on the related topics of integrating and utilizing
>>>>> algorithms in meta-heuristics techniques and their applications in Applied
>>>>> Mathematics and Science [3,4]. It provides the opportunity for
>>>>> practitioners handling their complicated real world issues by using
>>>>> meta-heuristics optimization methodologies and for researchers to realize
>>>>> the significant contribution to the body of the knowledge to share
>>>>> findings and look into future directions.

>>>>>
>>>>> This special issue aims at providing a forum for adopting the
>>>>> state-of-the-art meta-heuristics optimization techniques in Applied
>>>>> Mathematics and Science, developing the cutting hedge optimization
>>>>> techniques by using meta-heuristics approaches, as well as exchanging of
>>>>> related ideas and discussing the future directions. We invite researchers
>>>>> to submit their original and unpublished work related to, but not limited
>>>>> to, the above topics.
