Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Evolutionary Computation (EC) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for solving complex problems in various computer science domains. It encompasses a range of bio-inspired optimization and search algorithms that mimic the process of natural evolution to find optimal solutions. The application of EC techniques has shown promising results in addressing real-world problems. The goal of this Special Issue goal is to explore the novel applications of Evolutionary Computation in various subfields of computer science. We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute their original research, review articles, and case studies on the latest advancements, methodologies, and practical applications of EC in the following areas (but not limited to):

  • Image Processing and Machine Vision
  • Data Mining
  • Bioinformatics
  • Robotics and Autonomous Systems
  • Network and Telecommunication Systems
  • Software Engineering, Reliability, and Testing
  • Cybersecurity and Intrusion Detection
  • Intelligent Systems and Decision Support
  • Internet of Things (IoT) and Edge Computing
  • Natural Language Processing and Text Mining
  • Manufacture process modeling
  • Medical applications

Contributions should emphasize the innovative utilization of evolutionary computation techniques, including but not limited to genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolutionary strategies, ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, and artificial immune systems. Papers should highlight the unique challenges and insights from applying EC methods in specific computer science applications.

Authors are encouraged to present their research outcomes, demonstrate experimental validations, and compare existing approaches to showcase the novelty and effectiveness of the proposed EC-based solutions. Additionally, interdisciplinary studies that combine EC with other computational intelligence techniques or hybridize EC with machine learning or deep learning approaches are welcome.

In this contribution, a novel optimization approach, derived from the behavioral patterns exhibited by Duroc pig herds, is proposed. In the developed metaheuristic, termed Artificial Duroc Pigs Optimization (ADPO), Ordered Fuzzy Numbers (OFN) have been applied to articulate and elucidate the behavioral dynamics of the pig herd. A series of experiments has been conducted, using eight standard benchmark functions, characterized by multiple extrema. To facilitate a comprehensive comparative analysis, experiments employing Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Bat Algorithm (BA), and Genetic Algorithm (GA), were executed on the same set of functions. It was found that, in the majority of cases, ADPO outperformed the alternative methods. Full article
