Biology-Derived Algorithms in Engineering Optimization
Xin‐She Yang · Chapman & Hall/CRC computer and information science series · 2005
Biology-derived algorithms are an important part of computational sciences, which are essential to many scientific disciplines and engineering applications. Many computational methods are derived from or based on the analogy to natural evolution and biological activities, and these biologically inspired computations include genetic algorithms, neural networks, cellular automata, and other algorithms.
