Handbook of Bioinspired Algorithms and Applications

This authoritative handbook reveals the connections between bioinspired techniques and the development of solutions to problems that arise in diverse problem domains. It provides broad coverage along with numerous references to the available literature for more in-depth information. The book's two sections serve to balance coverage of theory and practical applications. The first section explains the fundamentals of techniques, such as evolutionary algorithms, swarm intelligence, cellular automata, and others. Detailed examples and case studies in the second section illustrate how to apply the theory in actually developing solutions to a particular problem based on a bioinspired technique.
