This book explains the basic ideas behind several variants of ant colony optimization (ACO) and shows how they may be used in real-world settings like manufacturing, engineering design, and health care. Marco Dorigo proposed ACO for the first time, and it has been used to solve a variety of optimization problems. This book presents the latest developments of ACO.

This book is specially focused on the latest developments and findings on hybrid algorithms and benchmarks in optimization and their applications in sciences, engineering, and industries. The book also provides some comprehensive reviews and surveys on implementations and coding aspects of benchmarks. The book is useful for Ph.D. students and researchers with a wide experience in the subject areas and also good reference for practitioners from academia and industrial applications.

This book focuses primarily on the nature-inspired approach for designing smart applications. It includes several implementation paradigms such as design and path planning of wireless network, security mechanism and implementation for dynamic as well as static nodes, learning method of cloud computing, data exploration and management, data analysis and optimization, decision taking in conflicting environment, etc. The book fundamentally highlights the recent research advancements in the field of engineering and science.

This book presents essential concepts of traditional Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) and its recent variants and also its application to find optimal solution for a variety of real-world engineering and medical problems. Swarm intelligence-based meta-heuristic algorithms are extensively implemented to solve a variety of real-world optimization problems due to its adaptability and robustness. FPA is one of the most successful swarm intelligence procedures developed in 2012 and extensively used in various optimization tasks for more than a decade. The mathematical model of FPA is quite straightforward and easy to understand and enhance, compared to other swarm approaches. Hence, FPA has attracted attention of researchers, who are working to find the optimal solutions in variety of domains, such as N-dimensional numerical optimization, constrained/unconstrained optimization, and linear/nonlinear optimization problems. Along with the traditional bat algorithm, the enhanced versions of FPA are also considered to solve a variety of optimization problems in science, engineering, and medical applications.

It includes several implementation paradigms such as design and path planning of wireless network, security mechanism and implementation for dynamic as well as static nodes, learning method of cloud computing, data exploration and management, data analysis and optimization, decision taking in conflicting environment, etc.
