There have been significant developments in the design and application of algorithms for both one-dimensional signal processing and multidimensional signal processing, namely image and video processing, with the recent focus changing from a step-by-step procedure of designing the algorithm first and following up with in-depth analysis and performance improvement to instead applying heuristic-based methods to solve signal-processing problems.

In this book the contributing authors demonstrate both general-purpose algorithms and those aimed at solving specialized application problems,...

Metaheuristics exhibit desirable properties like simplicity, easy parallelizability, and ready applicability to different types of optimization problems. After a comprehensive introduction to the field, the contributed chapters in this book include explanations of the main metaheuristics techniques, including simulated annealing, tabu search, evolutionary algorithms, artificial ants, and particle swarms, followed by chapters that demonstrate their applications to problems such as multiobjective optimization, logistics, vehicle routing, and air traffic management.

The authors are...

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 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,...
