<br>
The 5th International Conference on Metaheuristics and Nature
Inspired Computing META’14 will held in Marrakech, Morocco from 27
to 31 Oct 2014.
<br>
<br>
The Conference will be an exchange space thanks to the sessions,
tutorials, workshops and a vocational training of metaheuristics
and nature inspired computing.
<br>
<br>
The scope of the META’2014 conference includes, but is not limited
to:
<br>
* Local search, tabu search, simulated annealing, VNS, ILS, …
<br>
* Evolutionary algorithms, swarm optimization, scatter search, …
<br>
* Emergent nature inspired algorithms: quantum computing,
artificial immune systems, bee colony, DNA computing, …
<br>
* Parallel algorithms
<br>
* Hybrid methods with machine learning, game theory, mathematical
programming, constraint programming, co-evolutionary, …
<br>
* Application to: logistics and transportation, networks,
scheduling, data mining, engineering design, energy, bio-medical,
cloud, …
<br>
* Theory of metaheuristics, landscape analysis, convergence,
problem difficulty, very large neighbourhoods, …
<br>
* Multi-objective optimization, bi-level optimization
<br>
* Dynamic optimization, problems with uncertainty, …
<br>
* Parameter tuning (static, dynamic, adaptive, self-adaptive)
<br>
* Software frameworks for metaheuristics and nature inspired
computing
