Logistics Management and Optimation Through Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Systems

Hybrid Artificial Intelligent Systems (HAIS) try to deal with the complexity of real world phenomena using a multidisciplinary approach and a plurality of techniques. Logistics Management and Optimization through Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Systems offers the latest research within the field of HAIS, surveying the broad topics and collecting case studies, future directions, and cutting edge analyses. Using biologically-inspired algorithms such as ant colony optimization and particle swarm optimization, this text includes solutions and heuristics for practitioners and academics alike, offering a vital resource for staying abreast in this ever-burgeoning field.
