This timely review book summarizes thestate-of-the-art developments in nature-inspired optimization algorithms andtheir applications in engineering. Algorithms and topics include the overviewand history of nature-inspired algorithms, discrete firefly algorithm, discretecuckoo search, plant propagation algorithm, parameter-free bat algorithm, gravitational search, biogeography-based algorithm, differential evolution, particle swarm optimization and others. Applications include vehicle routing, swarming robots, discrete and combinatorial optimization, clustering ofwireless sensor networks, cell formation, economic load dispatch, metamodeling, surrogated-assisted cooperative co-evolution, data fitting and reverseengineering as well as other case studies in engineering. This book will be anideal reference for researchers, lecturers, graduates and engineers who areinterested in nature-inspired computation, artificial intelligence andcomputational intelligence. It can also serveas a reference for relevantcourses in computer science, artificial intelligence and machine learning, naturalcomputation, engineering optimization and data mining.
