SEMCCO 2011 - Swarm Evolutionary and Memetic Computing Conference

The SEMCCO 2011 is the second international conference of this series, where SEMCCO 2010 has been successfully organized at SRM University Chennai. The proceeding for SEMCCO 2010 was published by LNCS Series of Springer. This conference aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to report and review the latest progresses in the cutting ? edge research with Swarm, Evolutionary, and Memetic Computing to explore new application areas and to design new bio ? inspired algorithms for solving specific hard optimization problems and finally to create awareness on these domains to a wider audience to practitioners. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to submit their contributions in both theoretical and practical aspects
