This book covers the conventional and most recent theories and applications in the area of
evolutionary algorithms swarm intelligence and meta-heuristics. Each chapter offers a
comprehensive description of a specific algorithm from the mathematical model to its practical
application. Different kind of optimization problems are solved in this book including those
related to path planning image processing hand gesture detection among others. All in all
the book offers a tutorial on how to design adapt and evaluate evolutionary algorithms.
Source codes for most of the proposed techniques have been included as supplementary materials
on a dedicated webpage.
