Recent years have seen rapid advances in bio-inspired computational intelligence (BICI) theories and their growing applications in nearly all engineering fields, such as mechanical, electrical, civil, industrial, manufacturing, materials, computer, chemical, and bio-environmental engineering. BICI has been successfully employed in solving real-world engineering problems at both large-scale and small-scale levels, ranging from the design of complex engineering systems, material processing and manufacturing, assembly, signal processing and pattern identification, to system and process optimization, to name but a few.
The goal of this special issue is to provide a vigorous forum and medium for the publication of original high-quality research papers that focus on the development of new bio-inspired computational intelligence algorithms and the real-world applications of BICI in a variety of engineering fields. Papers that focus on a comparison study of multiple BICI algorithms for a particular engineering application are particularly encouraged.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- New neural networks algorithms
- New evolutionary algorithms
- New swarm-based algorithms
- New ant colony optimization algorithms
- New support vector machine algorithms
- New BICI analysis tools such as rough sets
- Applications of BICI in mechanical engineering
- Applications of BICI in electrical engineering
- Applications of BICI in civil engineering
- Applications of BICI in industrial engineering
- Applications of BICI in manufacturing engineering
- Applications of BICI in materials engineering
- Applications of BICI in computer engineering
- Applications of BICI in chemical engineering
- Applications of BICI in bio-environmental engineering
