 on Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Opti
 mization), Granada, Spain

LOCATION:Granada, Spain
DESCRIPTION:Biological and natural processes have 
 always been a source of inspiration for computer s
 cience and information technology. It is well know
 n that biological entities, from single cell organ
 isms -like bacteria- to humans, often engage in a 
 rich repertoire of social interaction that could r
 ange from altruistic cooperation through open conf
 lict. One specific kind of social interaction is c
 ooperative problem solving (CPS), where a group of
  autonomous entities work together in order to ach
 ieve certain goal. The NICSO 2010 aims at promotin
 g cooperative problem solving strategies bringing 
 together international researchers and practitione
 rs from different disciplines in order to discuss 
 the investigations and exchange ideas on the curre
 nt state of the art of the topic.    The conferenc
 e seeks contributions that are inspired by Nature 
 and that encompass a range of spatio-temporal scal
 es, for visionary conceptions of information proce
 ssing and computation as pertaining to cooperation
  mechanisms in the context of problem solving. Ful

 l known that biological entities, from\n        si
 ngle cell organisms -like bacteria- to humans, oft
 en engage\n        in a rich repertoire of social 
 interaction that could range\n        from altruis
 tic cooperation through open conflict. One\n      
   specific kind of social interaction is cooperati
 ve problem\n        solving (CPS), where a group o
 f autonomous entities work\n        together in or
 der to achieve certain goal. The NICSO 2010 aims\n
         at promoting cooperative problem solving s
 trategies bringing\n        together international
