Introduction
------------
The SEMCCO 2019 is the seventh international conference of this series, where 
SEMCCO 2010 has been successfully organized at SRM University Chennai, SEMCCO 
2011 at ANITS, Visakhpatnam, SEMCCO 2012 at SOA University, Bhubaneswar, 
SEMCCO 2013 at SRM University, Chennai, SEMCCO 2014 at SOA University, 
Bhubaneswar, and SEMCCO 2015 at Hyderabad, India. The FANCCO 2019 is the fifth 
international conference of this series, collocated and co-organized with 
SEMCCO. These conferences aim at bringing together researchers from academia 
and industry to report and review the latest progresses in the cutting - edge
research with Swarm, Evolutionary, Memetic, Fuzzy, and Neural computing 
to explore new application areas and to design new bio - inspired algorithms 
for solving specific hard optimization problems and finally to create 
awareness on these domains to a wider audience to practitioners. Therefore, 
researchers are encouraged to submit their contributions in both theoretical 
and practical aspects.

Theme
-----
The topics of the conference is related to the following (but not limited to):
Genetic Algorithms, Genetic Programming, Evolutionary Programming and 
Evolution Strategies, Combinatorial Optimization and Metaheuristics, 
Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), Differential Evolution (DE), Particle Swarm
