About this ebook

Handbook of Whale Optimization Algorithm: Variants, Hybrids, Improvements, and Applications provides the most in-depth look at an emerging meta-heuristic that has been widely used in both science and industry. Whale Optimization Algorithm has been cited more than 5000 times in Google Scholar, thus solving optimization problems using this algorithm requires addressing a number of challenges including multiple objectives, constraints, binary decision variables, large-scale search space, dynamic objective function, and noisy parameters to name a few. This handbook provides readers with in-depth analysis of this algorithm and existing methods in the literature to cope with such challenges.

The authors and editors also propose several improvements, variants and hybrids of this algorithm. Several applications are also covered to demonstrate the applicability of methods in this book.

Provides in-depth analysis of equations, mathematical models and mechanisms of the Whale Optimization Algorithm
Proposes different variants of the Whale Optimization Algorithm to solve binary, multiobjective, noisy, dynamic and combinatorial optimization problems
Demonstrates how to design, develop and test different hybrids of Whale Optimization Algorithm
Introduces several application areas of the Whale Optimization Algorithm, focusing on sustainability
Includes source code from applications and algorithms that is available online

About the author

Dr. Mirjalili has gained international recognition for his contributions to nature-inspired artificial intelligence techniques. He has been on the list of the top 1% of highly-cited researchers since 2019, and the Web of Science named him one of the most influential researchers in the world. In 2022 and 2023, The Australian newspaper recognized him as a global leader in Artificial Intelligence and a national leader in the Evolutionary Computation and Fuzzy Systems fields. He also holds a post as Adjunct Principal Research Fellow at the Institute for Integrated and Intelligent Systems, Griffith University (Australia). He serves as a senior member of IEEE and covers editorial positions at several top AI-related journals published by Elsevier, including Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, Applied Soft Computing, Neurocomputing, Advances in Engineering Software, Computers in Biology and Medicine, Healthcare Analytics, and Decision Analytics.
