ICSES Transactions on Evolutionary and Metaheuristic Algorithms (ITEMA) is a peer-reviewed open-access publication of its kind that aims at reporting the most recent research and developments in the area of bio-inspired intelligent computation based on the principles of evolutionary and metaheuristic algorithms. It publishes advanced, innovative and interdisciplinary research involving the theoretical, experimental and practical aspects of the two paradigms and their hybridizations. ITEMA is committed to timely publication of very high-quality, peer-reviewed, original articles that advance the state-of-the art of all aspects of evolutionary computation and metaheuristics. Survey papers reviewing the state-of-the-art of timely topics will also be welcomed as well as novel and interesting applications.
