Preface

The swarm intelligence optimization method is used to study bio- or non-bioinspired and population-based iterative algorithms for seeking the intrinsic cooperative mechanism in a swarm. It has recently attracted a great deal of attention from researchers from different fields and diverse domains. Many novel algorithms and their efficient improvements have been proposed continuously. The swarm intelligence optimization method is increasingly becoming one of the hottest and most important paradigms under the big umbrella of evolutionary computation (EC). Inspired by the fireworks explosion in the night sky, fireworks algorithm, abbreviated as FWA, was proposed by the author in 2010. FWA is a swarm intelligence optimization algorithm, which seems effective at finding a good enough solution to the global optimum of a complex optimization problem. In FWA, as a firework explodes, a shower of sparks is shown in the adjacent area. These sparks explode again and generate other showers of sparks in a smaller area. Gradually, the sparks search the whole solution space in a fine structure and focus on a small region to eventually find (a) good enough soluti
