A detailed review of a wide range of meta-heuristic and evolutionary algorithms in a systematic manner and how they relate to engineering optimization problems

Optimization techniques have developed into a significant area concerning industrial, economics, business, and financial systems. With the development of engine

Metaheuristic optimization is a higher-level procedure or heuristic designed to find, generate, or select a heuristic (partial search algorithm) that may provid

Due to an ever-decreasing supply in raw materials and stringent constraints on conventional energy sources, demand for lightweight, efficient and low cost struc

This book addresses the principles and applications of metaheuristic approaches in engineering and related fields. The first part covers metaheuristics tools an
