The decision to retract the article has been made for the following reasons:

1.   Misalignment with Journal Scope

2.   Compromised Peer Review Process

It’s important to clarify that this retraction is a measure taken to uphold academic integrity. Tech Science Press has not investigated whether the authors were aware of potential undue influence on the peer review process related to the special issue.

This paper belongs to the special issue “Optimization Algorithm for Intelligent Computing Application.” Unfortunately, due to technical issues and changes in editorial staff, the article in question was mistakenly accepted and published without undergoing the review process by the Editor-in-Chief. Tech Science Press has rectified the technical issues, reinforced internal management procedures, and updated rigorous special issue policies to prevent such occurrences in the future.

Following a thorough assessment, the Editorial Board of Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing has no confidence in the integrity and reliability of this article, and the Editor-in-Chief has decided to retract this article from the journal. All authors do not agree with this retraction.
