Optimization methods employing approximation models originated in the 1970s and have proved extremely popular within the engineering community. In recent years, supporting mathematical theory has been developed to provide the foundation for a broad class of approximation-based optimization methods. Several surrogate model classes are available. First, the surrogate may be of data fitting type, involving a non-physics-based approximation involving interpolation or regression of quantities of interest generated from the original model. Alternatively, physics-based reduced-order modeling techniques such as Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD), Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD), A Priori Hyper-Reduction, Reduced Basis promise better insight into full-field solutions. Multi-fidelity techniques (also called variable fidelity, variable complexity) combine different models within a model hierarchy. Simplified physics-based models (e.g., coarser mesh, reduced element order, relaxed solver tolerances, simplified physics) are then combined with the high-fidelity model to control the overall simulation budget.
This special issue aims to present recent innovative and powerful numerical approaches and applications in surrogate modeling for design optimization, including but not limited to multi-fidelity strategies and reduced-order models.
Particular topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Surrogate modeling including Bayesian, RBF, infill criteria, gradient-enhanced, etc.
- Multi-fidelity, variable-complexity, variable-fidelity
- Reduced-order models
- Multiobjective optimization
- Connections with machine learning
- Quantum computing optimization

Peer Review Process
Advanced Modeling and Simulation in Engineering Sciences operates a single-blind peer-review system, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous.
Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two to three experts who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is scientifically sound and coherent, whether it duplicates already published work, and whether or not the manuscript is sufficiently clear for publication. The Editors will reach a decision based on these reports and, where necessary, they will consult with members of the Editorial Board.
Articles will undergo the journal’s standard peer-review process and are subject to all of the journal’s standard policies, including those pertaining to Collections. Articles will be added to the Collection as they are published.
Submission Instructions
