SI-UNCAB 2020 : Natural Computing - Special Issue on Understanding Natural Computing Algorithm Behaviour

The focus of this workshop is to highlight theoretical and empirical research that investigate approaches needed to analyze stochastic optimization algorithms and performance assessment with regard to different criteria. The main goal is to bring the problem and importance of understanding optimization algorithms closer to researchers and to show them how and why this is important for future development in the optimization community. This will help researchers/users to transfer the gained knowledge from theory into the real world, or to find the algorithm that is best suited to the characteristics of a given real-world problem.
