This book exemplifies how algorithms are developed by mimicking nature. Classical techniques for solving day-to-day problems is time-consuming and cannot address complex problems. Metaheuristic algorithms are nature-inspired optimization techniques for solving real-life complex problems. This book emphasizes the social behaviour of insects, animals and other natural entities, in terms of converging power and benefits. Major nature-inspired algorithms discussed in this book include the bee colony algorithm, ant colony algorithm, grey wolf optimization algorithm, whale optimization algorithm, firefly algorithm, bat algorithm, ant lion optimization algorithm, grasshopper optimization algorithm, butterfly optimization algorithm and others. The algorithms have been arranged in chapters to help readers gain better insight into nature-inspired systems and swarm intelligence. All the MATLAB codes have been provided in the appendices of the book to enable readers practice how to solve examples included in all sections. This book is for experts in Engineering and Applied Sciences, Natural and Formal Sciences, Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences.

In contemporary engineering domains, optimization and decision-making issues are crucial. Given the vast amounts of available data, processing times and memory usage can be substantial. Developing and implementing novel heuristic algorithms is time-consuming, yet even minor improvements in solutions can significantly reduce computational costs. In such scenarios, the creation of heuristics and metaheuristic algorithms has proven advantageous. The convergence of machine learning and metaheuristic algorithms offers a promising approach to address these challenges. Metaheuristic and Machine Learning Optimization Strategies for Complex Systems covers all areas of comprehensive information about hyper-heuristic models, hybrid meta-heuristic models, nature-inspired computing models, and meta-heuristic models. The key contribution of this book is the construction of a hyper-heuristic approach for any general problem domain from a meta-heuristic algorithm. Covering topics such as cloud computing, internet of things, and performance evaluation, this book is an essential resource for researchers, postgraduate students, educators, data scientists, machine learning engineers, software developers and engineers, policy makers, and more.
