Advances in Multi-Objective Nature Inspired Computing [Paperback]

The purpose of this book is to collect contributions that deal with the use of nature inspired metaheuristics for solving multi-objective combinatorial optimization problems. Such a collection intends to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art developments in this field, with the aim of motivating more researchers in operations research, engineering, and computer science, to do research in this area. As such, this book is expected to become a valuable reference for those wishing to do research on the use of nature inspired metaheuristics for solving multi-objective combinatorial optimization problems.

Recent advances in multi-objective, nature-inspired computing is presented in this comprehensive reference. This collection provides the non-expert with an overview of the field, and aims to motivate researchers to contribute to the field.
