Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization (NICSO 2008)

The inspiration from Biology and the Natural Evolution process has become a research area within computer science. For instance, the description of the artificial neuron given by McCulloch and Pitts was inspired from biological observations of neural mechanisms; the power of evolution in nature in t...
