CALL FOR PAPERS
International Journal of Applied Metaheuristic Computing
********************************************************************************
***INAUGURAL ISSUE January 2010***
www.igi-global.com/ijamc
*** MISSION OF IJAMC ***
The engineering and business problems we face today become more inpenetrable and unstructured, making the design of a satisfactory problem-specific algorithm nontrivial. Alternatively, researchers and practitioners look for generic metaheuristic computing that guides the course of a heuristic to search beyond the local optimality, which impairs the capability of traditional computation methods. Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the International Journal of Applied Metaheuristic Computing (IJAMC). The IJAMC is a rigorously refereed journal that publishes high quality research, developments, and applications in the transdisciplinary areas related to metaheuristic computing. Metaheuristic computing has built its foundations on research findings ranging from brain science, sociocognition, phylogenetic evolution, gestalt psychology, to social insects foraging. The IJAMC provides insights into all aspects of metaheuristic computing that can take full advantage of higher level problem solving without a hassle to design problem-specific operations each time a new application shows up. The IJAMC provides a forum for researchers, scientists, practitioners and students who wish to learn, analyze, improve and apply technologies in metaheuristic computing.
