NICSO 2013 will be the sixth edition of the International Workshop on
Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization. This workshop
aims at bringing together international researchers and practitioners
from different disciplines in order to discuss recent advances and
exchange ideas on the current state of the art of cooperative problem
solving strategies.
All submitted papers will be blind reviewed by at least two reviewers
from the Program Committee. 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 Instructions for Authors page for the book series Studies in
Computational Intelligence (http://www.springer.com/series/7092).
Contributions are welcome to submission through the system available at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nicso2013
The accepted papers will be published in the book series on STUDIES IN
COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE (Springer)
(http://www.springer.com/series/7092) indexed by ISI Web of Science
Conference Proceedings, DBLP, Ulrichs, SCOPUS, MathSciNet, Current
Mathematical Publications, Mathematical Reviews, Zentralblatt Math:
