Swarm intelligence is an innovative computational way to solving hard pr- lems. This discipline is inspired by the behavior of social insects such as ?sh schools and bird ?ocks and colonies of ants, termites, bees and wasps.

Modern cryptology, which is the basis of information security techniques, started in the late 70's and developed in the 80's. As communication networks were spreading deep into society, the need for secure communication greatly promoted cryptographic research. The need for fast but secure cryptographic systems is growing bigger. Therefore, dedicated systems for cryptography are becoming a key issue for designers. With the spread of reconfigurable hardware such as FPGAs, hardware implementations of cryptographic algorithms become cost-effective. The focus of this book is on all aspects of...

Cryptography is the study of methods to transform information from its original comprehensible form into a scrambled incomprehensible form, such that its content can only be disclosed to some qualified persons. This book includes content that is focused on

Aims to provide a representation of the evolutionary multi-objective optimisation research area and related trends. This book reports many innovative designs yielded by the application of such optimisation methods. It is divided into two main parts: evolut

Devoted to reporting innovative and significant progress in automatic machine design. This book contemplates theoretical as well as practical chapters. It addresses the scalability problem in evolutionary machine designs. It is divided into two main parts:

Swarm intelligence is a computational way to solve hard problems. This discipline is inspired by the behaviour of social insect colonies as well as fish schools and bird flocks. This book describes systems that have been engineered using ant colony optimis
