The 18th International Workshop on
Nature Inspired Distributed Computing
(NIDISC'15)
http://nidisc2015.gforge.uni.lu/
held in conjunction with
The 29th IEEE International
Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS'2015)
25-29 May 2015
Hyderabad, India

**********************************************************************
Workshop Theme :
=============
Techniques based on metaheuristics and nature-inspired paradigms can
provide efficient solutions to a wide variety of problems. Moreover,
parallel and distributed metaheuristics can be used to provide more
powerful problem solving environments in a variety of fields, ranging,
for example, from finance to bio- and health-informatics.
This workshop seeks to provide an opportunity for researchers to explore
the connection between metaheuristics and the development of solutions
to problems that arise in operations research, parallel computing,
telecommunications, bioinformatics, and many others.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Nature-inspired methods (e.g. ant colonies, GAs, cellular automata,
DNA and molecular computing, local search, etc) for problem solving
environments.
* Parallel and distributed metaheuristics techniques (algorithms,
technologies and tools).
* Applications combining traditional parallel and distributed
computing and optimization techniques as well as theoretical issues
(convergence, complexity, etc).
* Other algorithms and applications relating the above mentioned
research areas.

Prospective authors of original, unpublished high quality research articles are
invited to submit their contributions. NIDISC papers should not exceed 10
two-column pages including figures and references in the traditional IEEE
format used in IPDPS. Authors can purchase up to two additional pages for
camera-ready after acceptance.
Authors should submit a PDF or Word file through the EDAS system:

Paper submission indicates the intention of the author to present the paper at
the NIDISC 2015 workshop.
All papers will be reviewed by Program Committee members. Accepted papers will
be published in the proceedings of the IEEE International Symposium on Parallel
& Distributed Processing, Workshops and PhD Forum (IPDPSW) and available in the
IEEE Digital Library.
