Introduction:
The SEMCCO 2014 is the fifth international conference of this series, where SEMCCO 2010 has been successfully organized at SRM University Chennai, SEMCCO 2011 at ANITS, Visakhpatnam, SEMCCO 2012 at SOA University, Bhubaneswar, and SEMCCO 2013 at SRM University, Chennai. The FANCCO 2014 is the fourth international conference of this series, collocated and co-organized with SEMCCO. These conferences aim at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to report and review the latest progresses in the cutting – edge research with Swarm, Evolutionary, Memetic, Fuzzy, and Neural computing to explore new application areas and to design new bio – inspired algorithms for solving specific hard optimization problems and finally to create awareness on these domains to a wider audience to practitioners. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to submit their contributions in both theoretical and practical aspects.

Theme: The topics of the conference are related to the following (but not limited to) Genetic Algorithms, Genetic Programming, Evolutionary Programming, Evolution Strategies, Combinatorial Optimization, Metaheuristics, Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Bacterial Foraging algorithms (BFA), Harmony Search (HS), Cultural Algorithms , Artificial Bees and Fireflies Algorithms , Digital Organisms, Evolvable Hardware, Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDA), Stochastic Diffusion Search (SDS), Self–organization and Adaptation in Evolutionary Systems, Quantum and Nano – computing, Membrane computing, Solving single objective, multi-objective, dynamic and large-scale optimization problems, memetic computation, Memeplexes, Meta-memes, Coevolution, Lamarckian / Baldwinian, Agent based memetic computation.
