This book features research work presented at the 2nd International Conference on Data Engineering and Communication Technology (ICDECT) held on December 15–16, 2017 at Symbiosis International University, Pune, Maharashtra, India. It discusses advanced, multi-disciplinary research into smart computing, information systems and electronic systems, focusing on innovation paradigms in system knowledge, intelligence and sustainability that can be applied to provide feasible solutions to varied problems in society, the environment and industry. It also addresses the deployment of emerging computational and knowledge transfer approaches, optimizing solutions in a variety of disciplines of computer science and electronics engineering.

This book presents the latest insights and developments in the field of socio-cultural inspired algorithms. Akin to evolutionary and swarm-based optimization algorithms, socio-cultural algorithms belong to the category of metaheuristics (problem-independent computational methods) and are inspired by natural and social tendencies observed in humans by which they learn from one another through social interactions. This book is an interesting read for engineers, scientists, and students studying/working in the optimization, evolutionary computation, artificial intelligence (AI) and computational intelligence fields.
