The present volume provides a comprehensive resource for practitioners and researchers alike-both those new to the field as well as those who already have some experience. The work covers Social Network Analysis theory and methods with a focus on current applications and case studies applied in various domains such as mobile networks, security, machine learning and health.  With the increasing popularity of Web 2.0, social media has become a widely used communication platform. Parallel to this development, Social Network Analysis gained in importance as a research field, while opening up many opportunities in different application domains. Forming a bridge between theory and applications makes this work appealing to both academics and practitioners as well as graduate students.

  Solving scheduling problems has long presented a challenge for computer scientists and operations researchers. The field continues to expand as researchers and practitioners examine ever more challenging problems and develop automated methods capable of solving them. This book provides 11 case studies in automated scheduling, submitted by leading researchers from across the world. Each case study examines a challenging real-world problem by analysing the problem in detail before investigating how the problem may be solved using state of the art techniques.The areas covered include aircraft scheduling, microprocessor instruction scheduling, sports fixture scheduling, exam scheduling, personnel scheduling and production scheduling.  Problem solving methodologies covered include exact as well as (meta)heuristic approaches, such as local search techniques, linear programming, genetic algorithms and ant colony optimisation.The field of automated scheduling has the potential to impact many aspects of our lives and work; this book highlights contributions to the field by world class researchers.    .

This book is a collection of various methodologies that make it possible for metaheuristics and hyper-heuristics to solve problems that occur in the real world. This book contains chapters that make use of metaheuristics techniques. The application fields range from image processing to transmission power control, and case studies and literature reviews are included to assist the reader. Furthermore, some chapters present cutting-edge methods for load frequency control and IoT implementations. In this sense, the book offers both theoretical and practical contents in the form of metaheuristic algorithms. The researchers used several stochastic optimization methods in this book, including evolutionary algorithms and Swarm-based algorithms. The chapters were written from a scientific standpoint. As a result, the book is primarily aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students of Science, Engineering, and Computational Mathematics, but it can also be used in courses on Artificial Intelligence, among other things. Similarly, the material may be beneficial to research in evolutionary computation and artificial intelligence communities.
