CALL FOR PAPERS





NICSO 2011 is the fifth edition of the International Workshop on Nature
Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization and aims at promoting
deeper investigations on cooperative problem solving strategies and bringing
together international researchers and practitioners from different
disciplines to exchange ideas about emerging new research areas. Biological
and other natural processes have always been a source of inspiration for
computer science and information technology. We seek contributions that are
inspired by Nature and that encompass a range of spatio-temporal scales, for
visionary conceptions of information processing and computation as
pertaining to cooperation mechanisms in the context of problem solving.



Submitted papers will undergo a rigorous blind peer review process.
Selection criteria will be based on relevance, originality, significance,
impact, technical soundness and quality of the presentation. Contributions
are expected to provide original results, insights and experimental
innovations. Manuscripts must be in PDF, not exceeding 12 pages and
conforming to the Latex template at the Springer's Instructions for Authors
page. Contributions are welcome to submission through the system available
at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nicso2011. As in previous
editions, the accepted papers will be published in the book series on
Studies in Computational Intelligence (Springer). Authors of a selection of
the best papers published in the book will be invited to submit an extended
and improved version of the work to a special issue of the Memetic Computing
Journal (Springer).



Topics of interest are (but not limited to):



Adaptive Behaviour Ant Colonies

Amorphous Computing Artificial Life

Artificial Immune Systems Bioinformatics

Bio-inspired Architectures Complex Systems

Distributed Computing Evolutionary Robotics

Evolvable Systems Games and Game Theory

Evolutionary Algorithms Genetic Programming

Hyperheuristics Membrane Computing
