    INFORMS Journal on Computing announces an expanded and renamed area - Heuristic Search and Approximation Algorithms. This area focuses on the design, learning, and application of efficient and innovative methods for approximately solving relevant, difficult (combinatorial) optimization problems. In particular, it covers topics such as approximation algorithms with performance guarantee, (fully) polynomial time approximation schemes, parameterized algorithms, and heuristics.  New ideas in rounding data and dynamic programming, deterministic or randomized rounding of linear programs, greedy, nature-inspired and local search algorithms,  neural networks, and constrained programming-based learning, or hybrid approaches combining existing heuristic methods, alone or in conjunction with techniques from other areas of operations research or computer science,  are also of particular interest. The emphasis within the area is on papers presenting methodological innovations that can be applied to a wide range of problems or situations.
