on Bio-inspired computing for Hybrid Information Technology

Recently biologically inspired, converged and hybrid information technologies are becoming of significant interest due to their capabilities in handling many real world complex problems, involving imprecision, uncertainty and vagueness, highdimensionality.
This special issue is committed to capture the state-of-the-art and recent advances on various aspects of
biologically inspired computing for hybrid information technology. It aims to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of information technology, especially focused bio-inspired computing. Original articles describing algorithms, protocols, performance evaluations, and case studies on the bio-inspired hybrid information technologies are solicited for this special issue. :
