Meta-heuristic techniques are increasingly gaining favor as tools for optimizing distributed systems―generally, to enhance the utility and precision of database searches. Carefully applied, they can increase system effectiveness, streamline operations, and reduce cost. Since many of these techniques are derived from nature, they offer considerable scope for research and development, with the result that this field is growing rapidly.

Meta-Heuristic Algorithms for Advanced Distributed Systems offers an overview of these techniques and their applications in various distributed systems. With strategies based on both global and local searching, it covers a wide range of key topics related to meta-heuristic algorithms. Those interested in the latest developments in distributed systems will find this book indispensable.

Meta-Heuristic Algorithms for Advanced Distributed Systems readers will also find:

Analysis of security issues, distributed system design, stochastic optimization techniques, and more
Detailed discussion of meta-heuristic techniques such as the genetic algorithm, particle swam optimization, and many others
Applications of optimized distribution systems in healthcare and other key??industries

Meta-Heuristic Algorithms for Advanced Distributed Systems is ideal for academics and researchers studying distributed systems, their design, and their applications.
