"The text comprehensively provides practical guidance for implementing nature-inspired algorithms and metaheuristics in real-life scenarios to solve complex optimization problems. It will further demonstrate how nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms have the potential to contribute to multiple United Nations sustainable development goals such as climate action, clean energy, and sustainable cities. The text is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering, computer engineering, and information technology"-- Provided by publisher.
