Special Issue “Emerging Arboviruses”

Emerging arboviruses: Why today?

The recent global (re)emergence of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), such as chikungunya and Zika virus, was widely reported in the media as though it was a new phenomenon. This is not the case. Arboviruses and other human microbial pathogens have been (re)emerging for centuries. The major difference today is that arbovirus emergence and dispersion are more rapid and geographically extensi...

Special issue on emerging trends in soft computing: memetic algorithms

In the last few decades, evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have gradually established a strong foothold as powerful search methods in many complex disciplines ranging from arts & design, business & finance to science & engineering. Although well established as credible and powerful search tools, researchers in this area are now facing new challenges of increasing computational needs in today’s appl...
