The sustained research effort over recent years has succeeded in achieving many practical and theoretical results in the development and application of new techniques for solving real-world optimization problems. The aim of this special session is to present and discuss on the most recent advances in this field.

With this workshop we aim at papers where hybrid metaheuristics have been applied successfully to real-world or large-size domains...

The use of evolutionary computation (EC) techniques in finance and economics has become increasingly important. These methods have been proven to be a powerful tool in domains were analytic solutions are not a good alternative. Real-world problems involve complexity, noisy environments, uncertainty and vagueness, hence the popularity of EC among both researchers and practitioners. So far it has been successfully used in financial engineering, risk management, portfolio optimization, industrial organization, auctions, searching equilibriums, studying the emergence of the representative agent and rational expectations, designing public policy, financial forecasting, market simulation or agent-based computational economics, among many other areas.

In this forthcoming WCCI’2012, the Computational Finance and Economics Technical Committee (CFETC with its six constituents (task forces) will jointly organize a special session on “Computational Intelligence in Finance, Economics and Management Sciences’’ (CIFEMS). The aim of the event is to facilitate, stimulate, and inspire dialogue among researchers and practitioners working on this area
