A special issue of International Journal of Bio-Inspired Computation
Bio-inspired systems have been evolving from mere algorithms to an identifiable area of research that has been currently the focus of interest. The advances in genetic algorithms and neural networks have been consolidated to give this area the basis for development. The current innovative algorithms such as swarm algorithms (e.g. ant colony optimisation) are complementing the area and giving it the progressive dimension needed for sustainability.
As bio-inspired systems are being developed, many researchers have identified them as useful tools for engineering applications including optimization and adaptive engineering systems. This special issue aims to provide an outlet to report on applications of bio-inspired computational methods to engineering fields from traditional applications of manufacturing and control to novel areas of evolvable robots and swarms.
The special issue covers all bio-inspired techniques and their applications to engineering problems. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Swarm intelligence (e.g. PSO and ACO)
- Genetic algorithms
- Genetic programming
- Evolutionary strategies
- Evolutionary programming
- Artificial neural networks
- Neurocomputing
- Cooperative co-evolution
- Evolvable hardware
