<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:ES">This special issue is devoted to publishing original research papers dealing with theoretical, computational and applied aspects of global optimization involving multiple, conflicting objective
functions. Thus, the focus is </span><span lang="EN-US">at the intersection of global and multiobjective optimization. We invite unpublished, high quality papers, which address challenges of global multiobjective optimization. Examples of relevant optimization
problems are nonconvex, stochastic or combinatorial optimization problems having both global and local optima. In this special issue, sophisticated global search strategies are emphasized and their application to various optimization problems with multiple
objectives is within scope. Relevant data-driven optimization considerations are also of interest.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We welcome papers with a clear, novel scientific contribution in theory, methods or applications and papers with comprehensive and significant numerical experiments of global multiobjective optimization. The papers must
be in line with the scope of the <i>Journal of Global Optimization </i>– An International Journal Dealing with Theoretical and Computational Aspects of Seeking Global Optima and Their Applications in Science, Management and Engineering.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
