These conferences aim at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to report and review the latest progresses in the cutting – edge research with Swarm, Evolutionary, Memetic, Fuzzy, and Neural 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.

Invited keynote speakers at the conference are Ponnuthurai Nagaratnam Suganthan (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore; Thomson Reuters Highly Cited) and Benjamin Doerr (Max Planck Institute for Computer Science; École Polytechnique; Saarland University).
