***************************************************************

Metaheuristics are considered state-of-the-art methods for many hard
optimization problems. At some point, however, it has become evident
that the concentration on a sole metaheuristic is rather restrictive. A
skilled combination of concepts from different optimization techniques
can provide a more efficient behavior and a higher flexibility when
dealing with real-world and large-scale problems. Hybrid Metaheuristics
are techniques for optimization that combine different metaheuristics or
integrate AI/OR techniques into metaheuristics. Since 2004, the HM
Workshops are considered to be an international forum for researchers in
the area hybrid metaheuristics.
