Applications of Nature-Inspired Algorithms

Nature-inspired algorithms have become powerful and popular for solving problems in optimization, computational intelligence, data mining, machine learning, transport and vehicle routing. After the theoretical analyses in earlier chapters, it would be useful to provide examples and case studies to show that these algorithms can indeed work well in practice.
