Computer systems are distinguished by an eternally mounting complexity and
distinct distributed nature. Decentralized distributed architectures P2P,
Grid etc., are becoming increasingly popular. These systems call for novel
algorithms to be proficiently managed.

Nature-inspired computing (NIC) is one that intends to build up new
computing methods after getting ideas by observing how nature behaves in
different circumstances to solve very complex problems. Research on NIC has
opened new branches such as evolutionary computation, neural networks,
artificial immune systems, swarm intelligence, cellular automata and so on.
Techniques based on nature-inspired techniques can offer efficient solutions
to a wide variety of issues in distributed computing.

The aim of this special issue is to highlight the most significant recent
advances in nature-inspired distributed computing. We invite authors to
submit original research papers that will enhance the research efforts in
this area.
