Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bio-inspired computing uses the power of nature and biology to inform computer science and engineering. Nature has facilitated the evolution of efficient and elegant solutions to life's problems; the field of Bio-inspired computing draws inspiration with the design of novel computing and artificial intelligence algorithms or innovative hardware.
Inspiration may come from a variety of sources, from the emergent intelligence of a slime mold navigating its environment to the complexity of neural network pathways in the brain. Bio-inspiration can influence future computing research areas such as memristors or be used to further our understanding of neuroscience, as even organisms without a nervous system appear to demonstrate astonishing levels of intelligence.
For this Special Issue, entitled "Bio-Inspired Computing: Theories and Applications", we invite contributions from researchers in the field, covering topics such as, but not limited to, slime mold or fungal intelligence, nature-inspired algorithms, emergent intelligence, biologically modeled neural networks, hardware inspired by or created with biology, swarm or distributed algorithms, reservoir computing, neuroscience-related artificial intelligence, and other related topics.
Dr. James Whiting
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomimetics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
