Advice is a ubiquitous and consequential form of social support and social influence in virtually every social and cultural context, and has therefore garnered considerable scholarly attention over the past two decades, including the development of several theories specific to explaining advice evaluation and outcomes. The studies selected for this special issue extend existing theory through critique, extension, and integration; showcase methodological improvement and innovation; and illustrate meaningful application of theory and research to address real-world problems.

Specification Synthesis

This special issue marks the tenth anniversary of the LOPSTR workshop. LOPSTR started in 1991 as a workshop on Logic Program Synthesis and Transformation, but later it broadened its scope to logic-based Program Development in general.The motivating force behind LOPSTR has been a belief that declarative paradigms such as logic programming are better suited to program development tasks than traditional non-declarative ones such as the imperative paradigm. Specification, synthesis, transformation or specialisation, analysis, verification and debugging can all be given logical foundations, thus providing a unifying framework for the whole development process.In the past ten years or so, such a theoretical framework has indeed begun to emerge. Even tools have been implemented for analysis, verification and specialisation. However, it is fair to say that so far the focus has largely been on programming-in-the-small. So the future challenge is to apply or extend these techniques to programming-in-the-large, in order to tackle software engineering in the real world.

Real World Problems

The past decade has witnessed incredible advances in building highly realistic and richly detailed simulated worlds. We readily endorse the common-sense assumption that people will be better equipped for solving real-world problems if they are trained in near-life, even if virtual, scenarios. The past decade has also witnessed a significant increase in our knowledge of how the human body as both sensor and as effector relates to cognition. Evidence shows that our mental representations of the world are constrained by the bodily states present in our moment-to-moment interactions with the world. The current study investigated whether there are differences in how people enact actions in the simulated as opposed to the real world. The current study developed simple parallel task environments and asked participants to perform actions embedded in a stream of continuous events (e.g., cutting a cucumber). The results showed that participants performed actions at a faster speed and came closer to incurring injury to the fingers in the avatar enacting action environment than in the human enacting action environment.

Real World Problems

Real-world optimization problems have been studied in the past, but the work resulted in approaches tailored to individual problems that could not be easily generalized. The reason for this limitation was the lack of appropriate models for the systematic study of salient aspects of real-world problems. The aim of this article is to study one of such aspects: multi-hardness. We propose a variety of decomposition-based algorithms for an abstract multi-hard problem and compare them against the most promising heuristics.

“Linkages,” our theme for this year's annual meeting, represents more than lin king yeste rday to tomorrow. It is about linking today. We need to link in many ways—with members, with each of the Affiliated Groups, with our committees and task forces, with the Headquarters staff, and with other professional groups. Most important, we need to link with our students, who are facing a much different world from the one that many of us experienced as students. We need to help them link ideas within mathematics and between mathematical topics and link mathematics to real-world problems. We need to strengthen many of our links, forge new ones, and sever some links to the past.

Real World Problems

In the last decade, it has been proven in several research papers that, mathematical tools are rather power in describing real world problem in all fields of science, technology and engineering. Various mathematical models that examine real world problems have been studied and developed with the aim of predicting the future. Due to the wider applicability of these tools, research observes that the field of applied sciences is a rapidly growing discipline and has engaged the minds of researchers. The recently developed mathematical models bear certain kinds of complexities. Therefore new methods have been elaborated for observing the properties of intricated models accurately. Moreover, comprehensive information about the models have been found by modifiying the existing methods in literature. By means of the outstanding increase in information, such findings uncover new aspects and properties of real world problems. In addition, structural changes of models and technical improvements in practices brought out novel challenging issues. Such challenges have resulted in new and modified methods. Therefore, the studies in such fields are essential and meaningful in understanding the diverse aspects of the models.This special issue aims at addressing these interesting research matters in the field of applied and engineering sicences. The main source of the articles in this special issue were the selected papers from those presented at the Second International Conference on Computational Mathematics and Engineering Sciences (CMES2017), which was held on May 20-22, 2017, in Istanbul, Turkey. During CMES2017, several various papers related to applied and engineering sicence have been presented. In this special issue, we have received 12 manuscripts based on rigorous reviews. This special issue has greatly benefited from the cooperation among the authors, reviewers, and editors.We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Moulay Ismail University and Firat University for organizing CMES2017 Conference and all the authors for their contributions, which has made this special issue possible.

In the real-world, symmetry or asymmetry widely exists in various problems. Some of them can be formulated as constrained multi-objective optimization problems (CMOPs). During the past few years, handling CMOPs by evolutionary algorithms has become more popular. Lots of constrained multi-objective optimization evolutionary algorithms (CMOEAs) have been proposed. Whereas different CMOEAs may be more suitable for different CMOPs, it is difficult to choose the best one for a CMOP at hand. In this paper, we propose an ensemble framework of CMOEAs that aims to achieve better versatility on handling diverse CMOPs. In the proposed framework, the hypervolume indicator is used to evaluate the performance of CMOEAs, and a decreasing mechanism is devised to delete the poorly performed CMOEAs and to gradually determine the most suitable CMOEA. A new CMOEA, namely ECMOEA, is developed based on the framework and three state-of-the-art CMOEAs. Experimental results on five benchmarks with totally 52 instances demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. In addition, the superiority of ECMOEA is verified through comparisons to seven state-of-the-art CMOEAs. Moreover, the effectiveness of ECMOEA on the real-world problems is also evaluated for eight instances.
