This book presents advances in alternative swarm development that
have proved to be effective in several complex problems. Swarm
intelligence (SI) is a problem-solving methodology that results
from the cooperation between a set of agents with similar
characteristics. The study of biological entities, such as animals
and insects, manifesting social behavior has resulted in several
computational models of swarm intelligence. While there are
numerous books addressing the most widely known swarm methods,
namely ant colony algorithms and particle swarm optimization, those
discussing new alternative approaches are rare. The focus on
developments based on the simple modification of popular swarm
methods overlooks the opportunity to discover new techniques and
procedures that can be useful in solving problems formulated by the
academic and industrial communities. Presenting various novel swarm
methods and their practical applications, the book helps
researchers, lecturers, engineers and practitioners solve their own
optimization problems.
In this era of smartphones and 24/7 internet access, most of us
wake up and immediately dive into the challenges of the day,
responding to messages, catching up on the news and following up on
our daily tasks. Unfortunately, this behavior turns us into
"firefighters" of our lives, leaving us listless, scattered and
stressed. And we forget to dedicate a little time in the morning
for the most important person in this world, which is you. The
powerful process of Morning Zen helps you take back your mornings
and start the day on the right foot. Through clear and
easy-to-follow steps, the method shows you exactly how to establish
the critical habits necessary to improve your health, energy, and
attitude, to passionately pursue your goals and prepare yourself
for the day's battles.
