It introduces each algorithm and its implementation with case studies as well as extensive literature reviews, and also includes self-contained chapters featuring theoretical analyses, such as convergence analysis and no-free-lunch theorems so as to provide insights into the current nature-inspired optimization algorithms. Topics include ant colony optimization, the bat algorithm, B-spline curve fitting, cuckoo search, feature selection, economic load dispatch, the firefly algorithm, the flower pollination algorithm, knapsack problem, octonian and quaternion representations, particle swarm optimization, scheduling, wireless networks, vehicle routing with time windows, and maximally different alternatives. This timely book serves as a practical guide and reference resource for students, researchers and professionals. 000824121 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 23, 2017). 000824121 650_0 $$aNatural computation. 000824121 650_0 $$aSwarm intelligence. 000824121 7001_ $$aYang, Xin-She,$$eeditor. 000824121 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9783319676685 000824121 830_0 $$aStudies in computational intelligence ;$$vv. 744. 000824121 852__ $$bebk 000824121 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-67669-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000824121 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:824121$$pGLOBAL_SET 000824121 980__ $$aEBOOK 000824121 980__ $$aBIB 000824121 982__ $$aEbook 000824121 983__ $$aOnline 000824121 994__ $$a92$$bISE
