DATES:
=========================
 March   1, 2014   *** Extended Deadline *** Submission of papers (see web
site for instructions)
 March  29, 2014   Notification of acceptance
 April  15, 2014   Final papers and Registration
 May 13-14, 2014   The International Conference on Swarm Intelligence Based
Optimization (ICSIBO'2014)


SCOPE AND LIST OF TOPICS:
=========================
The International Conference on Swarm Intelligence Based Optimization
(ICSIBO'2014) is a continuation of conferences OEP'2003 (Paris), OEP'2007
(Paris) and ICSI'2011 (Cergy-Pontoise).


The aim of ICSIBO'2014 conference is to highlight the theoretical progress
of swarm intelligence metaheuristics and their applications.

In particular, the plenary talk by Maurice Clerc will explore some
alternatives to the use of classical random numbers generators in
stochastic algorithms.


Swarm Intelligence is a computational intelligence technique involving the
study of collective behavior in decentralized systems.
Such systems are made up of a population of simple individuals interacting
locally with one another and with their environment.
Although there is generally no centralized control on the behavior of
individuals, local interactions among individuals often cause a global
pattern to emerge.
Examples of such systems can be found in nature, including ant colonies,
animal herding, bacteria foraging, bee swarms, and many more.


Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
    - Theoretical advances of swarm intelligence metaheuristics
    - Combinatorial, discrete, binary, constrained, multi-objective,
multi-modal, dynamic, noisy, and large-scale optimization
    - Artificial immune systems, particle swarms, ant colony, bacterial
foraging, artificial bees, fireflies algorithm
    - Hybridization of algorithms
    - Parallel/distributed computing, machine learning, data mining, data
clustering, decision making and multi-agent systems based on swarm
intelligence principles
    - Adaptation and applications of swarm intelligence principles to real
world problems in various domains, including medicine, biology, chemistry,
finance, insurance, economics, social sciences, transportation, tourism,
education, defense, telecommunications, energy, management, information
retrieval, software engineering, fraud detection, environment,
remote-sensing, robots


SPECIAL SESSIONS:
=========================
Proposals for Special Sessions are welcome. Last date: March 1st, 2014. If
you are interested in organizing a special session in the conference,
please contact siarry at u-pec.fr, lhassane.idoumghar at uha.fr and
julien.lepagnot at uha.fr.


PANEL PROPOSALS:
=========================
The organizers encourage scientists and industry leaders to organize
dedicated panels dealing with controversial and challenging topics and
paradigms.
Submissions of original and unpublished work related to swarm intelligence
are invited, including, theory, development, and applications.
Areas of focus include particle swarm optimization, ant colony
optimization, foraging techniques, and other swarm intelligence related
topics.
Authors are invited to submit their original and unpublished work without
any limitation to the above related subjects.
For more information, please contact siarry at u-pec.fr,
lhassane.idoumghar at uha.fr and julien.lepagnot at uha.fr.


WORKSHOP PROPOSALS:
=========================
We welcome workshop proposals on complementary issues to the topics of this
conference.
Your requests should be forwarded to siarry at u-pec.fr,
lhassane.idoumghar at uha.fr and julien.lepagnot at uha.fr.


PUBLICATION IN JOURNAL:
=========================
Selected papers will be published as a post-proceedings in Springer's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (indexed by EI, ISTP, DBLP, and ISI). The
highest quality papers will be proposed for quick publication in Springer's
Swarm Intelligence (indexed in Thomson Reuters' JCR).
