Swarm Intelligence (SI) Overview

Swarm Intelligence (SI) has grown significantly, both from the perspective of algorithmic development and applications covering almost all disciplines of science and technology.

Focus of the Book

This book emphasizes the studies of existing SI techniques, their variants, and applications. The book also contains reviews of new developments in SI techniques and hybridizations.

Algorithm Studies

Algorithm specific studies cover basic introduction and analysis of key components of these algorithms, such as convergence, balance of solution accuracy, computational costs, tuning, and control of parameters.

Application Studies

Application specific studies incorporate the ways of designing objective functions, solution representation, and constraint handling. The book also includes studies on application domain-specific adaptations in the SI techniques.

Intended Audience

The book will be beneficial for academicians and researchers from various disciplines of engineering and science working in applications of SI and other optimization problems.
