Introduction 


Information Retrieval (IR) is one of the major fields in artificial intelligence, it took a large place in research domains. IR is the fact of searching relevant resources about a user request based on a set of information. Speaking about information, they could be any type, either media information such as videos and images. or textual in sort of structured, semi structured, or unstructured texts. Nowadays, development of new IR techniques became a field of innovation, where many researchers now consider nature - with its fantastic phenomenon especially in solving hard problems - as a source of inspiration for highly developed algorithms, and the main goal is solving so called NP hard problems in technology. These last, showed very good results when they were applied for many problems, what made researchers called some algorithms metaheuristics. 

Objective 


The missions of this special issue of IJOCI aim at making more researchers in understanding, developing new heuristics, and application of metaheuristics in information retrieval fields, either for classic NP hard problems, or real life issues. 

Recommended Topics 


Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: 

    * Information retrieval in Big data/Data Science. 
    * Bioinspired and metaheuristics in Data mining. 
    * Metaheuristics in information systems. 
    * Information retrieval in all data bases. 
    * Metaheuristics for security, and privacy preservation. 
    * Data encryption based on metaheuristics. 
    * Application of Metaheuristics in security. 
    * Bioinspired algorithms in ecology problems.
