| book description |

This volume comprises a selection of works presented at the Numerical and EvolutionaryÂ Optimization (NEO) workshop held in September 2015 in Tijuana, Mexico. TheÂ development of powerful search and optimization techniques is of great importance inÂ todayâ€™s world that requires researchers and practitioners to tackle a growing numberÂ of challenging real-world problems. In particular, there are two well-established andÂ widely known fields that are commonly applied in this area: (i) traditional numericalÂ optimization techniques and (ii) comparatively recent bio-inspired heuristics. BothÂ paradigms have their unique strengths and weaknesses, allowing them to solve someÂ challenging problems while still failing in others. The goal of the NEO workshop series is to bring together people from these and relatedÂ fields to discuss, compare and merge their complimentary perspectives in orderÂ to develop fast and reliable hybrid methods that maximize the strengths and minimizeÂ the weaknesses of the underlying paradigms. Through this effort, we believe thatÂ the NEO can promote the development of new techniques that are applicable to aÂ broader class of problems. Moreover, NEO fosters the understanding and adequateÂ treatment of real-world problems particularly in emerging fields that affect us allÂ such as health care, smart cities, big data, among many others. The extended papersÂ the NEO 2015 that comprise this book make a contribution to this goal.
