The basic characteristic of the twenty-first century postmodern societies is evolution and adaptivity. As a matter of fact, scientific research on Adaptive algorithms and systems using hybrid approaches, is growing overtime. This is the Evolving Intelligent Applications in Engineering Special Issue, of the Springer EVOS Journal. Totally thirteen (13) high quality papers discussing timely, interesting and novel approaches, have been accepted for publication after passing through a peer review process. The first paper “Freight Transportation Broker Agent Based on Constraint Logic Programming”, is authored by Costin Badica from the University of Craiova Romania, Florin Leon, from the Technical University “Gheorghe Asachi” of Iasi Romania and Amelia Badica, from the University of Craiova, Romania. This research paper introduces an agent-based freight brokering system which provides an intelligent logistics brokerage service. It focuses on the transport activity for the efficient allocation of transport resources to the transport applications. Its main contribution is the development of a knowledge-based freight broker, based on agents and constraint programming. The core of the system is a novel declarative optimization model as a part of an optimization agent. The implementation and evaluation of the system were performed using the ECLiPSe-CLP engine. The second paper is authored by Doina Logofatou, Christina Anderson and Kristiyan Balabanov, from Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, Frankfurt am Main, * Lazaros Iliadis [email protected] Ilias Maglogiannis [email protected] 1

The title is “Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithms for Autonomous Robots with Deterministic Leaders Using Space Filling Movements”. The actual goal achieved by this effort is the combination of G. Reynolds’ swarm behavior principles with deterministic traits, by using leaders with motions. This effort is based on space filling curves like the ones of Peano and Hilbert (P&H). Various P&H combinations with swarm approaches are tested in good practical applications. Georgios Drakopoulos, from the Ionian University, Corfu, Greece, Panagiotis Gourgaris and Andreas Kanavos, from University of Patras, Greece are the authors of the third paper. It is entitled “Graph Communities in Neo4j Four Algorithms at Work”. This paper outlines the implementation o
