报告内容简介：

Nature-inspired optimization algorithms have become effective tools for optimization concerning engineering designs, data mining and computational intelligence. Nature provides a rich source of inspiration for ingenious problem-solving. Algorithms based on characteristics of bats, cuckoos, fireflies, birds, ants and bees have demonstrated their flexibility and effectiveness. However, there exist many challenging issues in this area. This talk focuses on the recent developments and highlights some key issues in swarm intelligence and nature-inspired metaheuristics for optimization.
