**********************************************************************
The 4th International Conference on Metaheuristics and Nature Inspired
Computing, META12, will held in Port El Kantaoui, Sousse, Tunisia from
27 to 31 Oct 2012.
The Conference will be an exchange space thanks to the sessions of the
research works presentations and also will integrate tutorials,
workshops and a vocational training of metaheuristics and nature
inspired computing.
The scope of the META2012 conference includes, but is not limited to:
* Local search, tabu search, simulated annealing, VNS, ILS,
* Evolutionary algorithms, swarm optimization, scatter search,
* Emergent nature inspired algorithms: quantum computing,
artificial immune systems, bee colony, DNA computing,
* Parallel algorithms and hybrid methods with metaheuristics,
machine learning, game theory, mathematical programming, constraint
programming, co-evolutionary,
* Application to: logistics and transportation, telecommunications,
scheduling, data mining, engineering design, bioinformatics,
* Theory of metaheuristics, landscape analysis, convergence,
problem difficulty, very large neighbourhoods,
* Application to multi-objective optimization, bi-level optimization
* Application in dynamic optimization, problems with uncertainty,
