The part of this special issue with the title “Context-aware Computing and Nature-inspired Computing: ICCASA ICTCC 2020” edited by Prof. Phan Cong Vinh is presented to scientists, researchers, experts students in fields context-aware computing nature-inspired computing. Hopefully, they will find stimulating their research related hot topics contextual cognitive being useful for future work.

Marc-Olivier Coppens and Bharat Bhushan introduce the Molecular Systems Design & Engineering themed issue on nature-inspired solutions for engineering.

Abstract The term “nature-inspired” is associated with a sequence of efforts to understand, synthesize and imitate any natural object or phenomenon either in tangible intangible form, which allows us obtain improved insights into nature. Such inspirations can come through materials, processes, designs that we see around us. Materials, as opposed processes found nature, are readily be used witho...

The electric grid is being increasingly integrated with renewable energy sources whose output mostly fluctuating in nature. load demand also increasing day by day, mainly due to the increased interest vehicles and other automated devices. An management system helps maintaining balance between available generation thus optimizes usage. It reducing peak load, green-house gas emissions, operationa...
