BIOMA 2018

BIOMA is one of the main events focusing on the progress of the area of bioinspired optimization methods and their applications. As in the seven previous editions, BIOMA 2018 will provide an opportunity to the international research community in bioinspired optimization to discuss recent research results and to develop new ideas and collaborations in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

BIOMA 2018 welcomes presentations that cover any aspects of bioinspired optimization research such as new algorithmic developments, high-impact applications, new research challenges, theoretical developments, implementation issues, and experimental studies. BIOMA 2018 strives for a high-quality program that will be completed by a number of invited talks and special sessions.

This event is part of a project that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 692286.
