This special issue focuses on the intersection of Multiple Objective Optimization, Goal Programming, and Artificial Intelligence, addressing complex decision-making challenges in economics and social sciences. The collection seeks papers that combine these three domains to develop frameworks where optimization methods prioritize conflicting objectives, goal programming establishes specific targets, and AI enhances decision models through data analytics and machine learning.

The special issue welcomes both papers substantially extending contributions presented at the 16th International Conference on Multiple Objective Programming and Goal Programming (MOPGP'25) and new original work addressing theories and applications of MOP, GP, and AI in economic and social contexts.

This special issue focuses on the transformative potential of Extended Reality (XR) technologies—including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR)—in enhancing decision-making processes and driving organizational transformation. As organizations increasingly face complex challenges requiring rapid, data-driven decisions, XR technologies offer innovative approaches to visualize information, simulate scenarios, and facilitate collaborative problem-solving in immersive environments.

The special issue welcomes original research contributions that explore how XR can improve decision support systems across various organizational contexts. We are interested in studies examining the effectiveness of immersive technologies in enhancing situational awareness, reducing decision-making time, improving decision quality, and fostering organizational innovation. Both theoretical frameworks and practical implementations are encouraged.
