NICSO 2013 will be the sixth edition of the International Workshop on  
Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization. This workshop  
aims at bringing together international researchers and practitioners from 
different disciplines in order to discuss recent advances and exchange 
ideas on the current state of the art of cooperative problem solving 
strategies.

All submitted papers will be blind reviewed by at least two reviewers from 
the Program Committee. Selection criteria will be based on relevance, 
originality, significance, impact, technical soundness and quality of the 
presentation. Contributions are expected to provide original results, 
insights and experimental innovations. Manuscripts must be in PDF, not 
exceeding 12 pages and conforming to the Latex template at Instructions for 
Authors page for the book series Studies in Computational Intelligence 
(http://www.springer.com/series/7092). Contributions are welcome to 
submission through the system available at  
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nicso2013

The accepted papers will be published in the book series on STUDIES IN  
COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE (Springer)  
(http://www.springer.com/series/7092) indexed by ISI Web of Science  
Conference Proceedings, DBLP, Ulrichs, SCOPUS, MathSciNet, Current  
Mathematical Publications, Mathematical Reviews, Zentralblatt Math:  
MetaPress and Springerlink.

The authors of a selection of the best accepted papers will be invited to 
revise and extend their contributions for publication in a special issue in 
the JOURNAL OF MEMETIC COMPUTING (Springer)  
(http://www.springer.com/engineering/computational+intelligence+and+complexity/journal/12293).
