Optimization is essentially everywhere, from engineering design to economics and from holiday planning to Internet routing. These problems are often so complex that finding the best solution becomes computationally infeasible. Several metaheuristic algorithms have been proposed to serve as solutions to these problems. They are stochastic in nature and inspired by nature’s way of finding best solution. Quality solutions to difficult optimization problems can be found in a reasonable amount of time. New variants of metaheuristic algorithms are continually being proposed and are being deployed in many real life engineering problems.
The International Workshop on Metaheuristic Techniques and Applications (MTA'15) will provide a forum for scientists and researchers to present their latest results and a means to discuss the recent developments in metaheuristics and their applications. We welcome submissions of original and unpublished work in all related areas, including (but not limited to) the following:
