This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second
International Conference on Swarm Intelligence Based Optimization ICSIBO 2016 held in
Mulhouse France in June 2016. The 9 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and
selected from 20 submissions. They are centered around the following topics: 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 forging 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.
