Bio-inspired algorithms and methods – from computational intelligence techniques as swarm or evolutionary algorithms to other techniques based on principles or models of biological systems – are currently a hot topic in wide number of research areas. The problems related to the representation and practical application of these kinds of algorithms provide new and interesting solutions in traditionally complex domains.
Distributed computing develops methods and technology to build systems that are composed of collaborating components. The domains and problems traditionally handled by distributed computing allow us to look for new challenges in bio-inspired computation approaches.
This special issue welcomes submissions of original papers introducing research results in all aspects covering the roles of knowledge and intelligence in distributed systems, ranging from concepts and theoretical developments to advanced technologies and innovative applications. The key topic will be based on practical and real world utilisation of bio-inspired methods, techniques and algorithms in previous types of systems and domains.
Paper acceptance and publication will be judged on the basis of quality, relevance to the issue’s themes, clarity of presentation, originality, and accuracy of results and proposed solutions.
The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of selected papers presented at the 8th International Symposium on Intelligent Distributed Computing (IDC'2014) and its joint workshops, but we also strongly encourage researchers unable to participate in the conference to submit articles for this call.
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
