Optimisation is an important branch of applied mathematics. Many real life problems arising from different fields such as operations research, management science, computer science, engineering design, financial engineering, economics and biological science can be modelled as optimisation problems. On the other hand, soft computing is a term within computer science which is characterised by the use of inexact solutions to computationally hard tasks, for which there is no known algorithm. Soft computing is tolerant of imprecision, uncertainty, partial truth, and approximation.

In effect, the role model for soft computing is the human mind, being highly multidisciplinary in nature. This special issue will cover the latest developments in the role of modelling in optimisation and soft computing techniques and its application in various domains.
