Optimization and Decision Science: Methodologies and Applications
This proceedings volume highlights the state-of-the-art knowledge related to optimization, decisions science and problem solving methods, as well as their application in industrial and territorial systems. It includes contributions tackling these themes using models and methods based on continuous and discrete optimization, network optimization, simulation and system dynamics, heuristics, metaheuristics, artificial intelligence, analytics, and also multiple-criteria decision making. The number and the increasing size of the problems arising in real life require mathematical models and solution methods adequate to their complexity. There has also been increasing research interest in Big Data ...
Neural Nets
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the 14th Italian Workshop on Neural Networks, WIRN VIETRI 2003, held in Vietri sul Mare, Italy in June 2003. The 41 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and improved during two rounds of selection and refereeing. The papers are organized in topical sections on models for neural computation; architectures and algorithms; image and signal processing; applications; bioinformatics and statistics; and formats of knowledge: words, images, and narratives.
Computational Intelligence in Biomedicine and Bioinformatics
The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of state-of-the-art methodologies currently utilized for biomedicine and/or bioinformatics-oriented applications. Researchers working in these fields will learn new methods to help tackle their problems.
Self-Adaptive Heuristics for Evolutionary Computation
Evolutionary algorithms are successful biologically inspired meta-heuristics. Their success depends on adequate parameter settings. The question arises: how can evolutionary algorithms learn parameters automatically during the optimization? Evolution strategies gave an answer decades ago: self-adaptation. Their self-adaptive mutation control turned out to be exceptionally successful. But nevertheless self-adaptation has not achieved the attention it deserves. This book introduces various types of self-adaptive parameters for evolutionary computation. Biased mutation for evolution strategies is useful for constrained search spaces. Self-adaptive inversion mutation accelerates the search on combinatorial TSP-like problems. After the analysis of self-adaptive crossover operators the book concentrates on premature convergence of self-adaptive mutation control at the constraint boundary. Besides extensive experiments, statistical tests and some theoretical investigations enrich the analysis of the proposed concepts.
Fuzzy Logic and Applications
This book constitutes the post-conference proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Fuzzy Logic and Applications, WILF 2018, held in Genoa, Italy, in September 2018. The 17 revised full papers and 9 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on fuzzy logic theory, recent applications of fuzzy logic, and fuzzy decision making. Also included are papers from the round table "Zadeh and the future of logic" and a tutorial.

Bio-inspired Algorithms for the Vehicle Routing Problem
The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is one of the most famous combinatorial optimization problems. In simple terms, the goal is to determine a set of routes with overall minimum cost that can satisfy several geographical scattered - mands. A ?eet of vehicles located in one or more depots is available to ful?ll the requests. A large number of variants exist, adding di?erent constraints to the original de?nition. Some examples are related to the number of depots, the ordering for visiting the customers or to time windows specifying a desirable period to arrive to a given location. The original version of this problem was proposed by Dantzig and Ramser in 1959 [1]. In their seminal paper, the aut...
