Dear Colleagues, Please accept this brief e-mail as an invitation to participate in the 5th International Workshop on Memetic Algorithms (WOMA V) The next international Workshop on Memetic Algorithms (WOMA-V), will be the fifth in a series of workshops dedicated exclusively to Memetic Algorithms and will take place in conjunction with PPSN 2004 in Birmingham UK on Saturday 18 September 2004 ( http://events.cs.bham.ac.uk/ppsn04/ ). The WOMA series is a forum where the international community of researchers, practitioners and vendors, that work on aspects related to memetic algorithms, can engage in fruitful discussions, learning, research and where they can contribute to the advancement of this field. In previous occasions WOMA was co-located with GECCO 2000 in Las Vegas-USA, GECCO 2001 in San Francisco-USA, PPSN VII in Granada-Spain and with GECCO 2003 in Chicago-USA.
