NICSO 2015 will be the sixth edition of the International Workshop on
Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization. This workshop
aims at bringing together international researchers and practitioners
from different disciplines in order to discuss recent advances and
exchange ideas on the current state of the art of cooperative problem
solving strategies. In this edition, NICSO will include topics related
to the optimization, learning and adaptation for manufacturing and
assembling systems. All submitted papers will be blind reviewed and are
expected to provide original results, insights and experimental
innovations in both research and industry. Selection criteria will be
based on relevance, originality, significance, impact, technical
soundness and quality of the presentation. As in previous editions,
papers must be in PDF, not exceeding 12 pages, and will be published in
the book series on Studies in Computational Intelligence, Springer
(TBC). The authors of a selection of the best accepted papers will be
invited to revise and extend their contributions for publication in a
special issue in the Journal of Memetic Computing, Springer (TBC).
