**********************************************************************

The 2nd International Conference on Metaheuristics and Nature Inspired 
Computing, META’08, will held in Tunisia from 29 to 31 Oct.

The Conference will be an exchange space thanks to the sessions of the 
research works presentations and also will integrate tutorials and a 
vocational training of metaheuristics and nature inspired computing.

The scope of the META’2008 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
* Application in dynamic optimization, problems with uncertainty, …
