Dear Colleagues,

First of all many thanks for your contributions and making this edited volume a real success! We have received 35 chapters for the proposed edited volume focused on 'Swarm Intelligence and Data Mining'. Since more than 50% of the chapters were related to optimization related themes, we have decided to divide the contributions into the following two volumes:

-- Swarm Intelligence and Data Mining

-- Stigmergic Optimization

All authors have been notified. If you are yet to receive our notification email, please let us know immediately. A list of all accepted chapters are displayed below.  Authors of accepted chapters are expected to submit the camera ready manuscripts in accordance with the reviewer comments by January 14, 2006.

Thank you for your cooperation

Ajith Abraham, Crina Grosan and Vitorino Ramos

Editors of the Book Volumes

Swarm Intelligence and Data Mining




SCOPE AND CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS:  

Swarm Intelligence (SI) indicates a recent computational and behavioral metaphor for solving distributed problems that originally took its inspiration from the biological examples provided by social insects (ants, termites, bees, wasps) and by swarming, flocking, herding behaviors in vertebrates. We seek to explore the applicability of these bio-inspired approaches to the development of self-organizing, evolving, adaptive and autonomous information technologies, which will meet the requirements of next-generation information systems, such as diversity, scalability, robustness, and resilience. This edited volume is targeted to present the latest state-of-the-art methodologies in data mining using SI techniques. Both theoretical papers (preferably including simulations) and application papers related to different data mining methodologies are welcome.

 
TOPIC INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:

- New SI techniques for clustering, data analyzing, Classification, Sorting, Data Retrieval.
- Particle Swarm / Cultural Algorithms.

- Complex Adaptive Systems.
- Artificial Life as well as other Animal Societies bio-inspired algorithms.

- Flocks, Herds and Schools.
- Swarms and Cooperative Robotics.
- Distributed algorithms, self-regulation, self-repair and self-maintenance ontologies.
- Biomedical, multimedia and e-commerce applications.
- Hybridization with other methods (e.g. Evolutionary Computation and Neural Networks).
