Welcome to the MIC 2011 Home Page
The 9th edition of the Metaheuristics International Conference (MIC 2011) will be held in Udine, Italy, from the 25th to the 28th of July, 2011.
The MIC conference series was established in 1995 and this is its 9th edition. MIC is the main event focusing on the progress of the area of metaheuristics and their applications.
As in previous editions, MIC 2011 will provide an opportunity to the international research community in metaheuristics to discuss recent research results, to develop new ideas and collaborations, and to meet old and make new friends in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Presentations covering all aspects of metaheuristic research such as new algorithmic developments, high-impact applications, new research challenges, theoretical developments, implementation issues, in-depth experimental studies, are welcome. We strive for a high-quality program that will be completed by a number of invited talks and tutorials.
