This book addresses many-criteria decision-making (MCDM), a process
used to find a solution in an environment with several criteria. In
many real-world problems, there are several different objectives
that need to be taken into account. Solving these problems is a
challenging task and requires careful consideration. In real
applications, often simple and easy to understand methods are used;
as a result, the solutions accepted by decision makers are not
always optimal solutions. On the other hand, algorithms that would
provide better outcomes are very time consuming. The greatest
challenge facing researchers is how to create effective algorithms
that will yield optimal solutions with low time complexity.
Accordingly, many current research efforts are focused on the
implementation of biologically inspired algorithms (BIAs), which
are well suited to solving uni-objective problems. This book
introduces readers to state-of-the-art developments in biologically
inspired techniques and their applications, with a major emphasis
on the MCDM process. To do so, it presents a wide range of
contributions on e.g. BIAs, MCDM, nature-inspired algorithms,
multi-criteria optimization, machine learning and soft computing.
