Different techniques are being used for solving real-world problems.
Each specific technique has its particular strengths and weaknesses
that make it suitable for certain situations and not effective for
others. These limitations have been a central driving force behind the
creation of hybrid systems, where two or more techniques are combined
in a manner to mitigate the limitations and take advantages of the
strengths to produce systems that are more effective and powerful than
those could be built with single technique.

Swarm algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization, Ant Colony
Optimization and others have been emerging as an innovative and
powerful computational metaphor for solving complex problems in design,
optimization, control, management, business and finance. These
algorithms lay emphasis on methodology that features autonomy,
emergence and distributed computing and the solutions based on this
framework have been found to be more robust, flexible and adaptable.

The aim of this special session is to advocate the hybridization of
swarm-based systems with other techniques. It is expected that the
prospective contributions are unpublished and present novel,
fundamental research offering innovative contributions either from a
methodological viewpoint or from an application perspective based on
hybrid approaches, where swarm-based algorithm is one of the
constituent techniques.
