Recent Advances on Bioinspired Computation

Bioinspired and knowledge based techniques and applications

This special issue covers some recent advances on bioinspired and knowledge based techniques with some emphasis on applications to the medical domain, specifically in medical image processing. Some of the papers have been selected from the KES 2012 conference, and other have been contributed by authors outside the conference. The special issue covers a wide spectrum of techniques which we have ...

GPU Parallel Computation in Bioinspired Algorithms. A review

As bioinspired methods usually need a high amount of computational resources, parallelization is an interesting alternative in order to decrease the execution time and to provide accurate results. In this sense, recently there has been a growing interest in developing parallel algorithms using graphic processing units (GPU) also referred as GPU computation. Advances in the video gaming industry...

Bioinspired Computation and Its Applications in Operation Management

Bioinspired computation is an umbrella term for different computational technologies that are based on principles or models of biological systems. This class of approaches, including evolutionary algorithm, swarm intelligence, and artificial immune system, complements traditional ones in the sense that the former can be applied to large and complex combination optimization problems, but the lat...

This article highlights the very recent advances in glycopolypeptide synthesis via NCA polymerization and first studies on stimuli-responsive solution behavior and self-assembling structures. Yet glycopolypeptides are almost exclusively considered as smart biofunctional materials for use in biomedical applications, for instance in targeted drug delivery, but also have high potential for usage a...
