Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

IJBIC discusses the new bio-inspired computation methodologies derived from the animal and plant world, such as new algorithms mimicking the wolf schooling, the plant survival process, etc.

 Go Top  Objectives

The major goal of IJBIC is the publication of new research results on bio-inspired computation methods and their applications. IJBIC provides the scientific community and industry with a vehicle whereby ideas using two or more conventional and computational intelligence based techniques can be discussed.

Bio-inspired computation is an umbrella term for different computational approaches that are based on principles or models of biological systems. This class of methods, such as evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimisation, and swarm intelligence, complements traditional techniques in the sense that the former can be applied to large-scale applications where little is known about the underlying problem and where the latter approaches encounter difficulties. Therefore, bio-inspired methods are becoming increasingly important in the face of the complexity of today's demanding applications, and accordingly they have been successfully used in various fields ranging from computer engineering and mechanical engineering to chemical engineering and molecular biology.

IJBIC is especially intended for furthering the overall understanding of new algorithms simulated with various bio-phenomena beyond the current focus, i.e. genetic algorithms, Tabu search, etc. Its objective is improvement in theory and applications of the bio-computation field. Algorithms should therefore be carefully designed and appropriately analysed, and authors are encouraged to assess the statistical validity of their results whenever possible.

 Go Top  Readership

IJBIC is aimed at professionals, academics, students, researchers and policy makers who are interested in the potential of bio-inspired techniques for solving problems. In particular, this includes people with backgrounds in computer science, mathematics, engineering, and quantitative management science.

 Go Top  Contents

IJBIC publishes high-quality original papers, review articles and technical reports. Conference papers may be accepted if they have been substantially extended. Special issues of the journal that focus in on a particular aspect of the field are also published from time-to-time.

 Go Top  Subject Coverage

Suitable topics include, but are not limited to:

  • New bio-inspired methodologies coming from creatures living in nature
  • New bio-inspired methodologies coming from artificial society
  • New bio-inspired methodologies coming from physical and chemistry phenomena
  • New bio-inspired methodology analysis tools such as rough sets and stochastic processes, etc
  • Applications associated with bio-inspired methodologies

 Go Top  Specific Notes for Authors

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

All papers are refereed through a double blind process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Author Guidelines web-page.

To submit a paper, please go to Submissions of Papers

AUTHORS MUST SUBMIT THEIR PAPERS THROUGH THE ONLINE SUBMISSION SYSTEM, OTHERWISE THEIR PAPERS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR PUBLICATION

All papers must be submitted online. If you experience any problems submitting your paper online, please contact submissions@inderscience.com, describing the exact problem you experience. Please include in your email the title of the Journal.
