Sinopsis

<P>THIS VOLUME COMPRISES A SELECTION OF WORKS PRESENTED AT THE NUMERICAL AND EVOLUTIONARY&NBSP;OPTIMIZATION (NEO) WORKSHOP HELD IN SEPTEMBER 2015 IN TIJUANA, MEXICO. THE&NBSP;DEVELOPMENT OF POWERFUL SEARCH AND OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE IN&NBSP;TODAY’S WORLD THAT REQUIRES RESEARCHERS AND PRACTITIONERS TO TACKLE A GROWING NUMBER&NBSP;OF CHALLENGING REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS. IN PARTICULAR, THERE ARE TWO WELL-ESTABLISHED AND&NBSP;WIDELY KNOWN FIELDS THAT ARE COMMONLY APPLIED IN THIS AREA: (I) TRADITIONAL NUMERICAL&NBSP;OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES AND (II) COMPARATIVELY RECENT BIO-INSPIRED HEURISTICS. BOTH&NBSP;PARADIGMS HAVE THEIR UNIQUE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES, ALLOWING THEM TO SOLVE SOME&NBSP;CHALLENGING PROBLEMS WHILE STILL FAILING IN OTHERS.</P> <P>THE GOAL OF THE NEO WORKSHOP SERIES IS TO BRING TOGETHER PEOPLE FROM THESE AND RELATED&NBSP;FIELDS TO DISCUSS, COMPARE AND MERGE THEIR COMPLIMENTARY PERSPECTIVES IN ORDER&NBSP;TO DEVELOP FAST AND RELIABLE HYBRID METHODS THAT MAXIMIZE THE STRENGTHS AND MINIMIZE&NBSP;THE WEAKNESSES OF THE UNDERLYING PARADIGMS. THROUGH THIS EFFORT, WE BELIEVE THAT&NBSP;THE NEO CAN PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TECHNIQUES THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO A&NBSP;BROADER CLASS OF PROBLEMS. MOREOVER, NEO FOSTERS THE UNDERSTANDING AND ADEQUATE&NBSP;TREATMENT OF REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS PARTICULARLY IN EMERGING FIELDS THAT AFFECT US ALL&NBSP;SUCH AS HEALTH CARE, SMART CITIES, BIG DATA, AMONG MANY OTHERS. THE EXTENDED PAPERS&NBSP;THE NEO 2015 THAT COMPRISE THIS BOOK MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO THIS GOAL.</P>
