Abstract

This paper reports on the first international Workshop on Software Engineering using Metaheuristic INnovative ALgorithms.The aim of the workshop was to bring together researchers in search-based metaheuristic techniques with researchers and practitioners in Software Engineering. The workshop sought to support and develop the embryonic community which straddles these two communities and which is working on the application of metaheuristic search-based techniques to problems in Software Engineering.The paper outlines the nature of the nascent field of Search-Based Software Engineering, and briefly outlines the papers presented at the workshop and the discussions which took place.
