This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 1st
International Conference on Swarm Intelligence Based Optimization ICSIBO 2014 held in
Mulhouse France in May 2014. The 20 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and
selected from 48 submissions. Topics of interest presented and discussed in the conference
focuses on the theoretical progress of swarm intelligence metaheuristics and their applications
in areas such as: theoretical advances of swarm intelligence metaheuristics combinatorial
discrete binary constrained multi-objective multi-modal dynamic noisy and large-scale
optimization artificial immune systems particle swarms ant colony bacterial foraging
artificial bees fireflies algorithm hybridization of algorithms parallel distributed
computing machine learning data mining data clustering decision making and multi-agent
systems based on swarm intelligence principles adaptation and applications of swarm
intelligence principles to real world problems in various domains.
