“…In this first attempt to collect valuable datasets from various management and decision engineering applications, we focused on areas that are of high research interest, and thus, we primarily invited experts from topics of management and decision engineering that have garnered broad academic and lay interest recently. Such areas include logistics and delivery problems [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] ], energy management and renewables [ 5 , 6 ], and stock and resource management [ 7 , 8 ].
