This book and its companion volume, LNCS vols. 6145 and 6146, constitute the proceedings of the International Conference on Swarm Intelligence (ICSI 2010) held in Beijing, the capital of China, during June 12-15, 2010. ICSI 2010 was the ?rst gathering in the world for researchers working on all aspects of swarm intelligence, and providedan academic forum for the participants to disseminate theirnewresearch?ndingsanddiscussemergingareasofresearch.Italsocreated a stimulating environment for the participants to interact and exchange inf- mation on future challenges and opportunities of swarm...

This volume consists of the proceedings of the 31th International Conference on Applications and Theory of Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency (PETRI NETS 2010). The Petri Net conferences serve as annual meeting places to discuss the progress in the ?eld of Petri nets and related models of conc- rency. They provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss both app- cations and theoretical developments in this area. Novel tools and substantial enhancements to existing tools can also be presented. The satellite program of the conference comprised ?ve workshops and three tutorials....

Constitutes the proceedings of the 12th International Scandinavian Workshop on Algorithm Theory, held in Bergen, Norway in June 2010.

These are the proceedings of WAIFI 2010, the Third International Workshop on theArithmeticofFiniteFields, heldinIstanbul, Turkey, duringJune27-30,2010. The ?rst workshop, WAIFI 2007, was held in Madrid, Spain, and then WAIFI 2008 was held in Siena, Italy. In 2008, the workshop series was made biannual and it is now being held every even year, bringing together mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers and physicists who are doing research on various aspects of ?nite ?eld arithmetic. This year the workshop received 33 submissions, each of which was reviewed by at least three reviewerswho...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Learning and Intelligent Optimization, LION 4, held in Venice, Italy, in January 2010.The 23 regular and 12 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 87 submissions. Topics covered include metaheuristics (tabu search, iterated local search, evolutionary algorithms, memetic algorithms, ant colony optmization, particle swarm optimization); hybridizations of metaheuristics with other techniques for optimization; supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning applied to heuristic...

CiE 2010: Programs, Proofs, Processes Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal, June 30 July 4 2010 The last few years, starting in 2005 with out inaugural conference in Amst- dam, have seen a development from an informal cooperation via an increasingly established conference series to an association, founded in 2008. While the or- nization formofComputability in Europe (CiE) may havechanged, the scienti?c scope is still the same and as interdisciplinary and innovative as it was six year ago when we held the ?rst conference. CiE aims to promote computabili- related science in its broadest sense,...
