SEMCCO 2014 - 5-th Joint International Conferences: Swarm, Evolutionary and Memetic Computing Conference (SEMCCO 2014)

The SEMCCO 2014 is the fifth international conference of this series, where SEMCCO 2010 has been successfully organized at SRM University Chennai, SEMCCO 2011 at ANITS, Visakhpatnam, SEMCCO 2012 at SOA University, Bhubaneswar, and SEMCCO 2013 at SRM University, Chennai. 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, 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.
