The main purpose of this book is to provide a unified view of the most popular metaheuristic methods. Under this perspective, it has presented the fundamental design principles as well as the operators of metaheuristic approaches which are considered essential.
Likewise, engineer practitioners, who are not familiar with metaheuristic computation concepts, will appreciate that the techniques discussed are beyond simple theoretical tools since they have been adapted to solve significant problems that commonly arise in engineering areas.
Recently, novel metaheuristic techniques have emerged in response to the limitations of conventional approaches, leading to enhanced outcomes.... Læs mere
Most of the problems in science, engineering, economics, and other areas can be translated as an optimization or a search problem.
Nevertheless, they suffer from one of the following limitations: (A)Their conclusions are based on the performance of popular evolutionary approaches... Læs mere
This book presents new, alternative metaheuristic developments that have proved to be effective in various complex problems to help researchers, lecturers, engineers, and practitioners solve their own optimization problems.
This book compares the performance of various evolutionary computation (EC) techniques when they are faced with complex optimization problems extracted from different engineering domains.
This book presents the use of efficientEvolutionary Computation (EC) algorithms for solving diverse real-world imageprocessing and pattern recognition problems.
