The book editors established an IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Task Force to highlight developments in multimodal optimization in recent years, and they have designed this book to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world applications. The book will contain invited, contributed chapters on theoretical studies and analysis of niching methods; parameter adaptation in niching methods; niching methods that incurs lower computational costs; handling scalability; performance metrics for meaningful evaluations; comparative studies; methods for machine learning and clustering; and real-world applications.weiterlesen
