This book supplies both theoretical standpoints and practical examples for engineering researchers and/or practitioners taking roles in obtaining optimum designs of engineering applications from various disciplines through the nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms. Thus, the touchstone of the book is junction of the close contact between theory and practice. The chapters of the book are built on theoretical perspectives through the selected design examples picked out from engineering practices. From this aspect, this book covers different illustrative topics under two different parts which are Part I: Civil and Structural Engineering and Part II: Electrical and Electronics, Computer, and Communication Engineering including variety of nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms’ applications for numerous engineering design optimization problems. Hence, this book not only provides an elaborative practical and theoretical guide for practitioners, but also leads opportunity for inquiring the both relatively conventional and contemporary metaheuristic algorithms for researches from different fields of engineering disciplines.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessbookPart0.1007/978-981-33-6773-9_119
