This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second International Conference on Swarm Intelligence Based Optimization, ICSIBO 2016, held in Mulhouse, France, in June 2016. The 9 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. They are centered around the following topics: theoretical advances of swarm intelligence metaheuristics; combinatorial discrete, binary, constrained, multi-objective, multi-modal, dynamic, noisy, and large scale optimization; artificial immune systems, particle swarms, ant colony, bacterial forging,...

Contains case studies from engineering and operations research

Includes commented literature for each chapter

Metaheuristics exhibit desirable properties like simplicity, easy parallelizability and ready applicability to different types of optimization problems such as real parameter optimization, combinatorial optimization and mixed integer optimization. They are thus beginning to play a key role in different industrially important process engineering applications, among them the synthesis of heat and mass exchange equipment, synthesis of distillation columns and static and dynamic optimization of chemical and bioreactors.

This book explains the application of recent advances in computational intelligence - algorithms, design methodologies, and synthesis techniques - to the design of integrated circuits and systems. It highlights new biasing and sizing approaches and optimization techniques and their application to the design of high-performance digital, VLSI, radio-frequency, and mixed-signal circuits and systems.

This first of two related volumes addresses the design of analog and mixed-signal (AMS) and radio-frequency (RF) circuits, with 17 chapters grouped into parts on analog and mixed-signal...
