AIMS  AND  SCOPE:  

Many   problems   in   all   the   traditional   research   areas,   such   as   science,   engineering,   physics,  biology,  and  medicine  are  often  hard   to  solve,  mainly  due   to   the  difficulty   in  understanding  their  indirect  causes  and  effects,  which  are  not  related  in  an  obvious  way.  Therefore,  studying  how   a   system   interacts   with   the   environment,   or   how   simple   components   give   rise   to   the  global   collective   behavior   of   the   system,   or   even   how   parts   of   a   system   interact  with   each  other,   is   nowadays   one   of   the   most   challenging   and   interesting   research   areas   in   every  discipline  because  of  its  utmost  relevance.  

In  the  field  of  complex  systems  there  currently  exist  several  sophisticated  tools  that  can  help  us   to   study   the   systems   in   an   in-­‐depth   manner,   through   analytical   models,   and   from   a  computational  point  of  view,  describing  their  model  and  the  way  it  is  simulated.  

This  special  issue  aims  to  bring  together  researchers  and  practitioners  working  in  the  field  of  complex   systems,   particularly   in   regards   to   the   development   of   new   analytical  models   and  novel  applications,  as  well  as  on  the  design  of  new  nature-­‐inspired  optimization  algorithms.  

Authors   are   invited   to   submit   original   and   unpublished   papers   on   any   topics   related   to  complex  systems.  All  submissions  will  undergo  a  blind  peer-­‐review  process.
