Nature-Inspired Mateheuristic Algorithms: Success and New Challenges

Many business activities require planning and optimization, this is also true for engineering design, Internet routing, transport scheduling, objective-oriented task management and many other design activities. In fact, optimization is everywhere, the most important part of optimization is the core algorithms used to find optimal solutions to a given problem, though in many cases such algorithms may not exist at all.
