Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Artificial life studies natural living systems in artificial environments with the aim of understanding the processes underneath their behavioural characteristics. Soft artificial systems try to simulate natural systems and their evolution. In the last few years, interest has been growing in cognitive systems, that is, systems that are able to learn from experience, adapt, hypothesize, and suggest answers to problems. Evolutionary computing is a computational model that draws inspiration from natural evolution. It plays a central role in both artificial life systems and cognitive systems, since it provides powerful techniques to mimic natural processes giving rise to knowledge and cognition.
This Special Issue aims to bring together interdisciplinary approaches that focus on the fundamental and practical issues within the research field of artificial life, evolutionary computing and cognitive computing, and their inter-relations. The Special Issue is devoted to the exploitation of the multiple facets of the above research fields and will explore the current related state-of-the-art. Its topics of interest cover the scope of the XIV International Workshop on Artificial Life and Evolutionary Computation WIVACE 2019 workshop (https://wivace.org/2019/index2019.html). Extended versions of papers presented at WIVACE 2019 are sought, but this call for papers is also fully open to all who want to contribute by submitting a relevant research manuscript.

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. Algorithms 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 1600 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.
