*Special Issue on:* *Natural Computing Approaches for Achieving Competitive Organizational Performance*
Organizations are confronted by market, societal, and technological pressures in dynamic, complex environment. To remain competitive, organizations must respond strategically with operational actions to meet operations performance objectives: quality, speed, dependability, flexibility, and cost. Hard computing and soft computing methodologies have been used to find solutions for problems of limited complexity. However, many problems are difficult to solve due to amount of computation involved or the level of complexity involved in defining a solution. Nature inspired computing (NIC) has been used to find "robust" business computing solutions that remain effective in the dynamic, complex environment. Nature inspired computing applications include agent-based systems, swarm intelligence (ant-colony, bee-colony, particle swarm algorithms etc.), cellular automata, chaos theory, evolutionary algorithms, artificial immune systems, neural and fuzzy systems etc. Organizations that use NIC methodologies for solving business problems can their improve the competitive and operational performance.
The main goal of this special issue of JNIBC is to increase the awareness of the effectiveness and power of nature inspired business computing technology in addressing operational performance objectives. We invite researchers to submit papers on nature inspired computing applied to problems that impact operational performance objectives based on quality, speed, flexibility, dependability, and cost.
The scope of the journal is available at http://www.ibimapublishing.com//journals/JNIBC/jnibc.html http://www.ibimapublishing.com/journals/JNIBC/jnibc.html and topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Applications of Soft Computing in accounting, finance, marketing, operations management * Soft Computing data mining for business * Multi-Agent System Applications in business * Genetic Algorithms, Rough sets and Fuzzy sets in business * Swarm Intelligence applications in business * Artificial Neural Networks in business * Soft computing approaches for business modeling * Ant colony optimization in business * Soft Computing for classification and prediction * Intelligent agents and Data Mining * Hybrid Computational Approaches for data mining * Nature-inspired concept learning and machine learning * Immunity based approaches in business * Computational Intelligence for data mining * Evolutionary computation in data mining * Biology in business
Submission Guidelines Only original research papers will be considered. Authors should limit initial submissions to no more than 30 double-spaced pages in 12-point font with appropriate margins, inclusive of all materials (i.e., references, figures, tables and appendices).
Submission guidelines are available at: _http://www.ibimapublishing.com/journals/JNIBC/author.html_
A double-blind review will be conducted and papers will be returned to the authors, often with brief explanatory notes for further action. Submissions will be screened to ensure the submissions fit with the special issue.
