One primary principle of an FA is that fitter solutions in the current population possess a greater likelihood for survival and progression into the subsequent generation. The FA module evolves the system toward improved solutions in ...
Another interesting modification to cuckoo search is presented by Lin and Lee (2012). In their paper, they do not directly compare the new algorithm, emotional chaotic cuckoo search, to the unmodified algorithm, so it is hard to gauge ...
This book reviews the latest developments in swarm intelligence and bio-inspired computation from both the theory and application side, providing a complete resource that analyzes and discusses the latest and future trends in research ...
Most swarm intelligence algorithms were devised for continuous optimization problems.
Advanced inventory management in complex supply chains requires effective and robust nonlinear optimization due to the stochastic nature of supply and demand variations.
A new metaheuristic optimization algorithm, called krill herd (KH), has been recently proposed by Gandomi and Alavi.
Swarm intelligence (SI) and bio-inspired computing in general have attracted great interest in almost every area of science, engineering, and industry over the last two decades.
Data mining has evolved from methods of simple statistical analysis to complex pattern recognition in the past decades.
Swarm intelligence refers to collective intelligence.
Bio-inspired models have taken inspiration from the nature to solve challenging problems in an intelligent manner.
Artificial plant optimization algorithm (APOA) is a novel evolutionary strategy inspired by tree’s growing process.
In this chapter, we present the convergence analysis and applications of particle swarm optimization algorithm.
In most of the MAs, randomization is realized using a uniform or Gaussian distribution. However, this is not the only way to achieve randomization.
Test functions are important to validate and compare the performance of various optimization algorithms.
Automatic music composition has blossomed with the introduction of intelligent methodologies in computer science.
In this work, we propose a new nature-inspired feature selection technique based on bats behavior, namely, binary bat algorithm The wrapper approach combines the power of exploration of the bats together with the speed of the optimum-path ...
