Nature has produced several efficient processes which offer solutions for complex and dynamic real-world problems. These efficient processes, namely nature-inspired optimisation techniques, include evolutionary algorithms, swarm intelligence, artificial neural networks, artificial life, artificial immune systems, fractal geometry, DNA computing, quantum computing, and many more.

Real-world optimisation problems are usually complex, large-scale and NP-hard. They not only contain the terms of constraints, single/multiple objectives, but also involve modelling that evolves continuously. Hence, their solutions require further advancements in available nature-inspired optimisation techniques.

The aim of this special issue is to facilitate and enhance the information available in the field of nature-inspired algorithms, including that related to the development of advanced nature-inspired optimisation algorithms, and/or to the application of improved variants of existing ones for solving real-world complex problems.
