Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 420 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This book is the first work dedicated to the Bees Algorithm. Following a gentle introduction to the main ideas underpinning the algorithm, the book presents recent results and developments relating to the algorithm and its app…lication to optimisation problems in production and manufacturing. With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, production and manufacturing processes and systems have become more complex. To obtain the best performance from them requires efficient and effective optimisation techniques that do not depend on the availability of process or system models. Such models are usually either not obtainable or mathematically intractable due to the high degrees of nonlinearities and uncertainties in the processes and systems to be represented. The Bees Algorithm is a powerful swarm-based intelligent optimisation metaheuristic inspired by the foraging behaviour of honeybees. The algorithm is conceptually elegant and extremely easy to apply. All it needs to solve an optimisation problem is a means to evaluate the quality of potential solutions. This book demonstrates the simplicity, effectiveness and versatility of the algorithm and encourages its further adoption by engineers and researchers across the world to realise smart and sustainable manufacturing and production in the age of Industry 4.0 and beyond.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book offers an extensive guide to understanding, implementing, and applying the Bees Algorithm, a powerful nature-inspired optimisation metaheuristic that mimics the foraging behaviour of honey bees. In today's highly interconnected world, systems ha…ve become more difficult to optimise. This book addresses the challenge of solving complex optimisation problems efficiently and effectively by drawing inspiration from the remarkable problem-solving abilities observed in nature. The Bees Algorithm provides an elegant, simple, robust, and adaptable approach to navigate the complexities of high-dimensional, multimodal, or time-varying problems that often stymie traditional optimisation methods. This book offers an in-depth exploration of the algorithm, providing a thorough understanding of its underlying principles and mechanisms. It establishes a mathematical framework for the algorithm, facilitating a clearer insight into its behaviour and performance. Throughempirical studies and benchmarks, the book demonstrates the algorithm's effectiveness across a range of optimisation problems. Additionally, it showcases practical applications of the Bees Algorithm in diverse fields such as engineering design, robotics, and manufacturing. Finally, it discusses the latest developments and variants of the algorithm, highlighting its potential for future research and innovation. With its accessible style and step-by-step guidance, this book equips readers be they researchers, practitioners, or students in computer science, engineering, or optimisation with the knowledge and tools to leverage the principles of swarm intelligence and biomimicry to solve the real-world optimisation challenges of the new industrial age.
