AIM AND SCOPE

The Journal of Bio-Inspired Computation Research (JBICR) is an international research journal, which publishes articles describing recent fundamental contributions in the field of bio-inspired computation. Biologically-inspired computation (bio-inspired computation) is a field of study that brings together subfields related to the topics of connectionism, social behavior and emergence. It is often closely related to the field of artificial intelligence, as many of its pursuits can be linked to machine learning. It relies heavily on the fields of biology, computer science and mathematics.
    Bio-inspired computation is the use of computers to model nature, and simultaneously the study of nature to improve the usage of computers. Biologically-inspired computing is a major subset of natural computation.
Biology-inspired computation such as evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence bacterial foraging, cultural algorithms, neural networks, fuzzy systems, rough sets, molecular computing and other bionics is becoming increasingly important in face of the complexity of today's demanding applications.
    Applications of this form of computation are found in diverse fields such as robotics, nanodevices, computer aided architecture, business, software engineering and a lot of other field.
Bio-inspired computational models are recently in the focus of interest in computer science.
    The major goal of the journal is the publication of new research results on bio-inspired computation methods and their applications.One of the main objectives of this journal is to bring together research papers from all subfields of bio-inspired computation area. The aim is to present new methods resulting from the research on this field and application of bio-inspired computation methods.
