1) Issue Introduction: Background and Importance
Evolutionary algorithms and complex systems play a critical role in modern artificial intelligence, particularly for addressing large-scale, nonlinear, and dynamic optimization problems. Evolutionary computation offers robust population-based search and adaptation mechanisms, while complex systems theory provides essential insights into nonlinear interactions, adaptive dynamics, and system-level behaviors. Their integration has become increasingly important for understanding and designing intelligent systems capable of operating under uncertainty and complexity.
2) Aim and Scope of the Special Issue
This Special Issue aims to present recent theoretical and methodological advances in evolutionary algorithms and complex systems within artificial intelligence. The scope includes algorithm design, theoretical analysis, hybrid intelligent systems, and applications that exploit evolutionary processes and complex system dynamics. Contributions that enhance scalability, adaptability, robustness, or interpretability of evolutionary and complex computational models are particularly encouraged.
3) Suggested Themes
Evolutionary algorithms and population-based optimization
Complex systems and nonlinear dynamical modeling
Adaptive and self-organizing computational systems
