International Conference on Metaheuristics and Nature Inspired Computing
The 4th International Conference on Metaheuristics and Nature Inspired Computing, META2012, will held in Port El-Kantaoiui (Sousse, Tunisia).
The Conference will be an exchange space thanks to the sessions of the research works presentations and also will integrate tutorials and a vocational training of metaheuristics and nature inspired computing.
The scope of the META2012 conference includes, but is not limited to:
- Local search, tabu search, simulated annealing, VNS, ILS,
- Evolutionary algorithms, swarm optimization, scatter search,
- Emergent nature inspired algorithms: quantum computing, artificial immune systems, bee colony, DNA computing,
- Parallel metaheuristics
- Hybrid methods with metaheuristics, machine learning, game theory, mathematical programming, constraint programming, co-evolutionary,
- Application to: logistics and transportation, telecommunications, scheduling, data mining, engineering design, bioinformatics,
- Theory of metaheuristics, landscape analysis, convergence, problem difficulty, very large neighbourhoods,
- Application to multi-objective optimization
- Application in dynamic optimization, problems with uncertainty,bi-level optimization,
- Tuning of parameters (static, dynamic, adaptive, self-adaptive)
