Building accurate algorithms for the optimization of picking orders is a difficult task, especially when one considers the delays of real-world situations. In warehouse environments, diverse algorithms must be developed to enhance the global performance relating to combining customer orders into picking orders to reduce wait times. The Handbook of Research on Metaheuristics for Order Picking Optimization in Warehouses to Smart Cities is a pivotal reference source that addresses strategies for developing able algorithms in order to build better picking orders and the impact of these strategies on the picking systems in which diverse algorithms are implemented. While highlighting topics such ABC optimization, environmental intelligence, and order batching, this publication examines common picking aspects in warehouse environments ranging from manual order picking systems to automated retrieval systems. This book is intended for researchers, teachers, engineers, managers, and practitioners seeking research on algorithms to enhance the order picking performance.

The International Symposium on Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence 2012 (DCAI 2012) is a stimulating and productive forum where the scientific community can work towards future cooperation in Distributed Computing and Artificial Intelligence areas. This conference is a forum in which applications of innovative techniques for solving complex problems will be presented. Artificial intelligence is changing our society. Its application in distributed environments, such as the internet, electronic commerce, environment monitoring, mobile communications, wireless devices, distributed computing, to mention only a few, is continuously increasing, becoming an element of high added value with social and economic potential, in industry, quality of life, and research. These technologies are changing constantly as a result of the large research and technical effort being undertaken in both universities and businesses. The exchange of ideas between scientists and technicians from both the academic and industry sector is essential to facilitate the development of systems that can meet the ever increasing demands of today's society. This edition of DCAI brings together past experience, current work, and promising future trends associated with distributed computing, artificial intelligence and their application in order to provide efficient solutions to real problems. This symposium is organized by the Bioinformatics, Intelligent System and Educational Technology Research Group (http://bisite.usal.es/) of the University of Salamanca. The present edition will be held in Salamanca, Spain, from 28th to 30th March 2012.

Since 2008, Globe has been an annual international conference on data management in grid and peer-to-peer systems. Initially, grid and peer-to-peer systems experienced significant success in scientific and file sharing applications. Today, these systems cover the management of large, distributed and heterogeneous data. These systems are characterized by high heterogeneity, high autonomy and dynamics of nodes, dec- tralization of control and large-scale distribution of resources. Research on data m- agement in grid and peer-to-peer, relatively recent, aims to scale distributed systems and applications that require effective management of voluminous, large-scale distr- uted and heterogeneous data. The third edition of the international conference Globe was held in Bilbao, Spain during September 1-2, 2010. Globe provided opportunities for academia or industry researchers to present and discuss the latest research and applications on data m- agement in grid and peer-to-peer systems. Globe 2010 received 26 papers from 15 countries. The reviewing process led to the acceptance of 13 papers for presentation at the conference and inclusion in this LNCS volume. Each paper was reviewed by at least two Program Committee members. The conference would not have been possible without the support of the Program Committee members, external reviewers, Organizing Committee, members of the DEXA conference and the authors. In particular, we would like to thank Gabriela Wagner and Roland Wagner (FAW, University of Linz) for their help in the reali- tion of this conference.
