At the heart of the optimization domain are mathematical modeling of the problem and the solution methodologies. The problems are becoming larger and with growing complexity. Such problems are becoming cumbersome when handled by traditional optimization methods. This has motivated researchers to resort to artificial intelligence (AI)-based, nature-inspired solution methodologies or algorithms. The Handbook of AI-based Metaheuristics provides a wide-ranging reference to the theoretical and mathematical formulations of metaheuristics, including bio-inspired, swarm-based, socio-cultural, and physics-based methods or algorithms; their testing and validation, along with detailed illustrative solutions and applications; and newly devised metaheuristic algorithms. This will be a valuable reference for researchers in industry and academia, as well as for all Master’s and PhD students working in the metaheuristics and applications domains.

With the emergence of the data economy, information has become integral to business excellence. Every enterprise, irrespective of its domain of interest, carries and processes a lot of data in their day-to-day activities. Converting massive datasets into insightful information plays an important role in developing better business solutions. Data intelligence and its analysis pose several challenges in data representation, building knowledge systems, issue resolution and predictive systems for trend analysis and decisionmaking. The data available could be of any modality, especially when data is associated with healthcare, biomedical, finance, retail, cybersecurity, networking, supply chain management, manufacturing, etc. The optimization of such systems is therefore crucial to leveraging the best outcomes and conclusions. To this end, AI-based nature-inspired optimization methods or approximation-based optimization methods are becoming very powerful. Notable metaheuristics include genetic algorithms, differential evolution, ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, artificial bee colony, grey wolf optimizer, political optimizer, cohort intelligence and league championship algorithm. This book provides a systematic discussion of AI-based metaheuristics application in a wide range of areas, including big data intelligence and predictive analytics, enterprise analytics, graph optimization algorithms, machine learning and ensemble learning, computer vision enterprise practices and data benchmarking.

The third edition of this handbook is designed to provide a broad coverage of the concepts, implementations, and applications in metaheuristics. The book’s chapters serve as stand-alone presentations giving both the necessary underpinnings as well as practical guides for implementation. The nature of metaheuristics invites an analyst to modify basic methods in response to problem characteristics, past experiences, and personal preferences, and the chapters in this handbook are designed to facilitate this process as well. This new edition has been fully revised and features new chapters on swarm intelligence and automated design of metaheuristics from flexible algorithm frameworks. The authors who have contributed to this volume represent leading figures from the metaheuristic community and are responsible for pioneering contributions to the fields they write about. Their collective work has significantly enriched the field of optimization in general and combinatorial optimization in particular.Metaheuristics are solution methods that orchestrate an interaction between local improvement procedures and higher level strategies to create a process capable of escaping from local optima and performing a robust search of a solution space. In addition, many new and exciting developments and extensions have been observed in the last few years. Hybrids of metaheuristics with other optimization techniques, like branch-and-bound, mathematical programming or constraint programming are also increasingly popular. On the front of applications, metaheuristics are now used to find high-quality solutions to an ever-growing number of complex, ill-defined real-world problems, in particular combinatorial ones. This handbook should continue to be a great reference for researchers, graduate students, as well as practitioners interested in metaheuristics.

This book discusses the basic ideas, underlying principles, mathematical formulations, analysis and applications of the different combinatorial problems under uncertainty and attempts to provide solutions for the same. Uncertainty influences the behaviour of the market to a great extent. Global pandemics and calamities are other factors which affect and augment unpredictability in the market. The intent of this book is to develop mathematical structures for different aspects of allocation problems depicting real life scenarios. The novel methods which are incorporated in practical scenarios under uncertain circumstances include the STAR heuristic approach, Matrix geometric method, Ranking function and Pythagorean fuzzy numbers, to name a few. Distinct problems which are considered in this book under uncertainty include scheduling, cyclic bottleneck assignment problem, bilevel transportation problem, multi-index transportation problem, retrial queuing, uncertain matrix games, optimal production evaluation of cotton in different soil and water conditions, the healthcare sector, intuitionistic fuzzy quadratic programming problem, and multi-objective optimization problem. This book may serve as a valuable reference for researchers working in the domain of optimization for solving combinatorial problems under uncertainty. The contributions of this book may further help to explore new avenues leading toward multidisciplinary research discussions.
