Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Collection aims to explore the innovative applications of simulation techniques, artificial intelligence (AI), and agent-based models in the field of computational biology. By assembling a diverse array of research articles, reviews, and case studies, this Collection seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of how these advanced computational methodologies are transforming our understanding of biological systems. The objective is to highlight the synergy between AI, simulations, and agent-based modelling, demonstrating their potential to address complex biological questions and to inspire future research in this interdisciplinary domain. This Special Collection invites contributions from computational biologists, AI researchers, simulation experts, and interdisciplinary teams working at the interface of biology and computational sciences. By fostering knowledge exchange and highlighting pioneering research, this Collection aims to advance the field of computational biology and enhance our understanding of complex biological systems through innovative computational approaches. Potential topics include the following:
- simulation and modelling of biological systems;
- artificial intelligence in computational biology;
- agent-based models (ABMs) to simulate biological systems;
- hybrid approaches such as AI and ABMs to model biological systems; computational approaches for biomedical research;
- ecological and evolutionary models;
- challenges and limitations of computational biology models; and emerging trends in simulations,
- AI, and agent-based modelling in biology.

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.
