Bio-inspired computational algorithms are always hot

research topics in artificial intelligence communities.
Biology is a bewildering source of inspiration for the
design of intelligent artifacts that are capable of efficient
and autonomous operation in unknown and changing
environments. It is difficult to resist the fascination of
creating artifacts that display elements of lifelike
intelligence, thus needing techniques for control,
optimization, prediction, security, design, and so on. BioInspired Computational Algorithms and Their
Applications is a compendium that addresses this need. It
integrates contrasting techniques of genetic algorithms,
artificial immune systems, particle swarm optimization,
and hybrid models to solve many real-world problems.
The works presented in this book give insights into the
creation of innovative improvements over algorithm
performance, potential applications on various practical
tasks, and combination of different techniques. The book
provides a reference to researchers, practitioners, and
students in both artificial intelligence and engineering
communities, forming a foundation for the development
of the field.
