Nature-Inspired Algorithms: For Engineers and Scientists [Paperback]

The text discusses nature inspired algorithms and their applications in a comprehensive manner. It will be an ideal reference text for graduate students in the field of electrical engineering, electronics engineering, computer science and engineering.

K. K. Mishra is presently working as an assistant professor, department of computer science and engineering, Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology Allahabad, India. His research areas include genetic algorithm, analysis of algorithm, automata theory, microprocessor and multi-objective optimization. He has taught courses including computer architecture, data structures, advanced computer architecture, programming in C++, microprocessor and automata theory at undergraduate and graduate level. He is a regular reviewer of the Journal of Supercomputing (Springer), Applied Intelligence, Applied Soft Computing, IEEE Transaction on Cybernetics, IEEE System Journal, Neural computing and application, and IETE journals.This comprehensive reference text discusses nature inspired algorithms and their applications. It presents the methodology to write new algorithms with the help of MATLAB programs and instructions for better understanding of concepts. It covers well-known algorithms including evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithm, particle Swarm optimization and differential evolution, and recent approached including gray wolf optimization. A separate chapter discusses test case generation using techniques such as particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, and differential evolution algorithm.
