Solving complex problems arising from variety of industrial and scientific domains is almost unimaginable without use of meta-heuristics. A meta-heuristic is formally defined as an iterative method which supervises an underlying heuristic by combining intelligently different concepts for exploring and exploiting the search space. Meta-heuristics have been mostly applied to NP-Hard or NP-Complete problems. However, meta-heuristics also find their application to other combinatorial optimisation problems where a polynomial-time solution exists but is impractical. Simulated Annealing, Evolutionary algorithms, swarm intelligence algorithms are some examples of meta-heuristics.

There are a lot of research problems in the domain of information technology where meta-heuristics are better or sometimes only available tools. Mobile Telecommunication System, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, Grid Computing and Cloud Computing, Image / Video Processing and Coding, information and network security are some areas where meta-heuristics should be explored more and more.

This special session aims to bring together new theories, methodologies and applications inspired by meta-heuristics and information technology related problems. The emphasis of the session is on bridgingmulti-disciplinary research areas such as swarm intelligence, evolutionary techniques and information technology.
