Introduction to Nature‐Inspired Computing

Nature-inspired algorithms have significance in solving many problems. This
chapter provides an overview of nature-inspired algorithms like bio-inspired algorithm,
swarm intelligence algorithm, and physical and chemical system–based
algorithm. Many real-world problems are solved using nature-inspired algorithms
and the role of optimization plays an important role. This chapter covers the basic
working and classification of nature-inspired algorithms along with its area of
applications. The purpose and its significance of each and every algorithm have
been described. Also, the applications of algorithms comprise most of the realtime
problems.
