About the Book

Advances in Swarm Intelligence: Variations and Adaptations for Optimization Problems (swarm21) is an edited book (multi-authored book) to be published at Studies in Computational Intelligence , Springer book series (Approved). Swarm Intelligence (SI) has grown significantly, both from the perspective of algorithm development and applications covering almost all disciplines in both science and technology. This book strives to cover all the major SI techniques. This book emphasis on the studies of existing SI techniques, their variants and applications. The book also contains reviews of new developments in SI techniques and hybridizations. Algorithm specific studies covering basic introduction and analysis of key components of these algorithms, such as convergence, balance of solution accuracy, computational costs, tuning and control of parameters. Application specific studies incorporating the ways of designing objective functions, solution representation and constraint handling. The book also includes studies on application domain specific adoptions in the SI techniques.
