One of key success factors of the algorithm is the employment of a novel stochastic derivative which can be used even for discrete variables. Instead of traditional calculus-based gradient, the algorithm utilizes musician's experience as a derivative in searching for an optimal solution. This can be a new paradigm and main reason in the successes of various applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe goal of this book is to introduce major advances of the harmony search algorithm in recent years. The book contains 14 chapters with the following subjects: State-of-the-art in the harmony search algorithm structure; robotics (robot terrain and manipulator trajectory); visual tracking; web text data mining; power flow planning; fuzzy control system; hybridization (with Taguchi method or SQP method); groundwater management; irrigation; logistics; timetabling; and bioinformatics (RNA structure prediction).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book collects the above-mentioned theory and applications, which are dispersed in various technical publications, so that readers can have a good grasp of current status of the harmony search algorithm and foster new breakthroughs in their fields using the algorithm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45274770768023,"sku":"9783642043161","price":7277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783642043161.webp?v=1769280896","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/recent-advances-in-harmony-search-algorithm-9783642043161","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
