CALL FOR PAPERS
The International Workshop on the Bees Algorithm and its Applications (BAA) is an interdisciplinary forum for researchers and engineers to share the latest research results, ideas and developments relating to the popular bees-inspired optimisation technique and its applications. The First Workshop, to be held online on 29 September 2021, will focus on applications of the Bees Algorithm to Intelligent Production and Manufacturing.
