Regular general‑purpose computational‑intelligence sessions usually mix optimization with many other AI topics, leaving limited space for in‑depth discussion on metaheuristics. This dedicated session creates a focused forum covering the full pipeline: from natural‑inspired algorithm innovation, theoretical validation, hybrid strategy development, to diverse real‑world engineering deployments. It unites both theoretical researchers and application‑oriented engineers, which cannot be adequately supported within broad‑scope regular sessions.

This session welcomes contributions covering theory, algorithm design and practical applications of metaheuristic and swarm‑intelligence optimization. Topics include bio‑inspired/nature‑inspired optimizers, theoretical convergence analysis, algorithm modification and hybridization, multi‑objective, many‑objective and constrained optimization, as well as real‑world implementations in remote sensing, machine learning, engineering design, resource scheduling and other domains. It intends to gather global researchers to exchange ideas and identify future research trends.
