Nature-Inspired Computing: Swarm-Intelligence Based Algorithms

There is information processing in nature performed in a distributed, self-organized and optimal manner without any central or external control. Scientists have been observing these phenomena in nature for many years and trying to understand, explain, adapt and replicate in artificial systems. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to nature-inspired computing with an emphasis on applications to real-life engineering problems. It focuses on swarm-intelligence along with key algorithms such as ant algorithms, bat algorithms and firefly algorithms.

自然界中存在著分散、自組織和最佳化的信息處理，而且完全不需要中央或外部控制。科學家多年來一直觀察這些自然現象，並試圖理解、解釋、適應和在人工系統中複製。本書全面介紹了以自然為靈感的計算，重點介紹了應用於實際工程問題的應用。它專注於群體智能，以及螞蟻算法、蝙蝠算法和螢火蟲算法等關鍵算法。
