   Call for BOOK chapters at SPRINGER SCI Series
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Swarm Intelligence (SI) indicates a recent computational and
behavioral metaphor for solving distributed problems that originally
took its inspiration from the biological examples provided by social
insects (ants,termites, bees, wasps) and by swarming, flocking,
herding behaviors in vertebrates.
We seek to explore the applicability of these bio-inspired approaches
to the development of self-organizing, evolving, adaptive and
autonomous information technologies, which will meet the requirements
of next-generation information systems, such as diversity,
scalability, robustness, and resilience. This edited volume is
targeted to present the latest state-of-the-art methodologies in data
mining using SI techniques. Both theoretical papers (preferably
including simulations) and application papers related to different
data mining methodologies are welcome.

Topic includes but is not limited to:

- New SI techniques for clustering, data analyzing, Classification,
Sorting, Data Retrieval
- Particle Swarm / Cultural Algorithms.
- Complex Adaptive Systems
- Artificial Life as well as other Animal Societies bio-inspired algorithms.
- Flocks, Herds and Schools
- Swarms and Cooperative Robotics.
- Distributed algorithms, self-regulation, self-repair and
self-maintenance ontologies.
- Biomedical, multimedia and e-commerce applications.
- Hybridization with other methods (e.g. Evolutionary Computation and
Neural Networks)

The book is intended to be published in the Springer Verlag series
'Studies in Computational Intelligence'
