Special issue on natural and secure computing in modern soft computing application

The rapid development of modern computer and Internet technologies is strongly connected with creation of the new computational paradigms as well as advanced information systems for secure communication between smart tech devices and humans. One of the reasons for the big progress in modern computer and communication technologies is due to the state-of-the-art achievements in soft computing approaches, cognitive computer science and a great number of other algorithmic techniques. It is also inspired by biology solutions (artificial intelligence, bioinspired computation, etc.). Recently, such methods have had a great importance.Wecanutilize thesemethods to intelligently analyze a great amount of complex data as well as manage in secure manner the data transmissions over global communication networks. The possibility of further development of such technology will depend on many factors, such as designing new solution in security areas, and introducing a generation and cognitive information systems based on natural computation approaches. These subjects, as well as a number of others, like the ways of using biological models to invent new solutions in the field of natural computing, computational intelligence and secure communication pro-
