“…Examples of such behavior can be found in ant colonies, bee swarms, schools of fish or bird flocks. Swarm intelligence algorithms are used to solve difficult optimization problems for which there are no exact solving methods or the use of such methods is impossible, e.g. due to unacceptable computational time.This set comprises two volumes: Swarm Intelligence Algorithms: A Tutorial and Swarm Intelligence Algorithms: Modifications and Applications.The first volume thoroughly presents the basics of 24 algorithms selected from the entire family of swarm intelligence algorithms. …”

“…Armed with this general knowledge, Hagen then dives deep and offers camera setups, settings, and best practices for specific field techniques that address the photographic genres that are notoriously challenging for focus: action and sports (indoor and outdoor), wildlife (including birds in flight), and macro photography. He also covers genres such as portrait, landscape, underwater, low-light, and street photography. …”

“…To promote interaction, a rather unusual format was adopted.(1) beginning with the Welcome, opening remarks, and the first invited paper on Sunday night provided an early opportunity for personal introductions;(2) each presentation of 20 minutes was followed by a 15 minute question period (denoted by QUESTIONS following the paper);(3) individual simultaneous 30 minute discussion sessions (denoted by DISCUSSION SESSION following the paper) were held whereby participants and the authors could engage in more lengthy, detailed discussion;(4) a "Birds of a Feather" session held on Monday night permitted informal treatment of topics arising during the earlier sessions; and(5) attendees presenting a brief abstract by 11:00 p.m. on Monday were allotted 10 minute discussion periods in an interactive discussion session held on Tuesday afternoon (these are included under INTERACTIVE DISCUSSION SESSION)…”
