Computer systems are distinguished by an eternally mounting complexity and
distinct distributed nature. Decentralized distributed architectures P2P,
Grid etc... , are more and more 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.

Note for Prospective Authors
-----------------------------

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently
under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers are refereed
through a double-blind review process. A guide for authors, sample copies
and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the
Author Guidelines [http://www.inderscience.com/mapper.php?id=31] page.

If the file is larger than 1MB, the authors are encouraged to use WINZIP.
