CALL FOR PAPERS
NICSO 2008
International Workshop on Nature Inspired
Cooperative Strategies for Optimization
Puerto Palace Hotel
Puerto de La Cruz, Tenerife
12-14 November 2008
http://www.gci.org.es/nicso2008
(pre-registration available)
nicso2008 from gci.org.es
NICSO 2008 is the third edition of the International Workshop
on Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization.
Its aims are
(1) to foster a deeper understanding of "cooperativity" in
computational optimisation systems, and
(2) to encourage a vigorous exchange of ideas about emerging
research areas in cooperative problem solving strategies.
The accepted papers will be published in the Springer book
series on Studies in Computational Intelligence.
The authors of the best accepted papers will be invited to revise
and expand their contributions for publication in a special issue
in the Memetic Computing Journal (Springer) shortly after the event.
IMPORTANT DATES:
=95 Deadline for Submission: September, 1
=95 Notification of Acceptance: September, 30
=95 Deadline for Camera-ready: October, 20
All submissions (only pdf file) must be sent at nicso2008 from gci.org.es.
The length of each contribution will not exceed 12 pages.
Produce a camera ready copy using NICSO2008 latex style found at
http://www.gci.org.es/nicso2008.
Each contribution must providing original results, insights
and experimental innovations.
All submitted papers will be blind reviewed and acceptance will be
based on originality, significance, technical soundness and clarity.
