Preface
The
Handbook of Bioinspired Algorithms and Applications
seeks to provide an opportunity for researchers
to explore the connection between biologically inspired (or bioinspired) techniques and the development
of solutions to problems that arise in a variety of problem domains. The power of bioinspired paradigms
lies in their capability in dealing with complex problems with little or no knowledge about the search space,
and thus is particularly well suited to deal with a wide range of computationally intractable optimizations
and decision-making applications.
Vast literature exists on bioinspired approaches for solving an impressive array of problems and there
is a great need to develop repositories of “how to apply” bioinspired paradigms to difficult problems. The
material of the handbook is by no means exhaustive and it focuses on paradigms that are “bioinspired,”
and therefore, chapters on fuzzy logic or simulated annealing were not included in the organization. There
was a decision to limit the number of chapters so that the handbook remains manageable within a single
volume.
The handbook endeavors to strike a balance between theoretical and practical coverage of a range of
bioinspired paradigms and applications. The handbook is organized into two main sections:
Models and
Paradigms
and
Application Domains,
and the titles of the various chapters are self-explanatory and a
good indication to what is covered. The theoretical chapters are intended to provide the fundamentals of
each of the paradigms in such a way that allows the readers to utilize these techniques in their own fields.
The application chapters show detailed examples and case studies of how to actually develop a solution
to a problem based on a bioinspired technique. The handbook should serve as a repository of significant
reference material, as the list of references that each chapter provides will become a useful source of further
study.
