This book discusses different methods of modifying the original metaheuristics and their application in computer and electrical engineering. As the race to develop advanced technology accelerates, a new era of "metaheuristics" has emerged. Through researched-based techniques and collaborative problem-solving, this book helps engineers to find efficient solutions to their engineering challenges. With the help of an expert guide and the collective knowledge of the engineering community, this comprehensive guide shows readers how to use machine learning and other AI techniques to reinvent smart engineering.

Metaheuristics has grown and continues to grow steadily. Seen both from the technical point of view and from the application-oriented side, these optimization tools have established their value in a remarkable story of success. Researchers have demonstrated the ability of these methods to solve hard combinatorial problems of practical sizes within reasonable computational time.
