Numerical Algorithmic Science and Engineering (NAS&E), or more compactly, Numerical Algorithmics, is the theoretical and empirical study and the practical implementation and application of algorithms for solving finite-dimensional problems of a numeric nature. The variables of such problems are either discrete-valued, or continuous over the reals, or, and as is often the case, a combination of the two, and they may or may not have an underlying network/graph structure. This re-emerging discipline of numerical algorithmics within computer science is the counterpart of the now well-established discipline of numerical analysis within mathematics, where the latter’s emphasis is on infinite-dimensional, continuous numerical problems and their finite-dimensional, continuous approximates.

This new volume explores the Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques necessary to carry out different software engineering tasks. Software undergoes various stages before deployment, such as requirements elicitation, software designing, software project planning, software coding, and software testing and maintenance. Every stage is bundled with a number of tasks or activities to be performed. Due to the large and complex nature of software, these tasks can become costly and error prone. This volume aims to help meet these challenges by presenting new research and practical applications in intelligent techniques in the field of software engineering. Computational Intelligence Applications for Software Engineering Problems discusses techniques and presents case studies to solve engineering challenges using Machine Learning, Deep Learning, fuzzy-logic-based computation, statistical modeling, invasive weed meta-heuristic algorithms, artificial intelligence, the DevOps model, time series forecasting models, and more.

This book is intended to serve as a basic introduction to scientific computing by treating problems from various areas of physics - mechanics, optics, acoustics, and statistical reasoning in the context of the evaluation of measurements. After working through these examples, students are able to independently work on physical problems that they encounter during their studies. For every exercise, the author introduces the physical problem together with a data structure that serves as an interface to programming in Excel and Python. When a solution is achieved in one application, it can easily be translated into the other one and presumably any other platform for scientific computing. This is possible because the basic techniques of vector and matrix calculation and array broadcasting are also achieved with spreadsheet techniques, and logical queries and for-loops operate on spreadsheets from simple Visual Basic macros. The key to all of the exercises is data structures, developed in introductory sections that explain the physical problems. They serve as an interface to both Excel and Python, and potentially also to other applications for scientific computation. To enable this approach, the Excel solutions in this edition use vectorized code and matrix formulas to mimic broadcasting, an essential Python technique for creating new arrays.

Bio-Inspired Optimization in Fog and Edge Computing Environments covers novel and innovative solutions for Fog and Edge with Machine Learning (ML) and informatics-based technological solutions for various applications. Recently, nature- or bio-inspired techniques have emerged as a successful tool to understand and analyze collective behavior. Algorithms and mechanisms for the self- organization of complex natural systems have been used to solve optimization problems, particularly in complex systems that are adaptive, ever-evolving, and distributed in nature. What fits more perfectly into this scenario than the rapidly developing era of Fog and Edge computing? A new era of complexity science is emerging, in which nature- and bio-inspired principles are being applied to provide solutions. At the same time, the complexity of systems is increasing due to such models like the Internet of Things (IoT) and fog computing. Will complexity science, applying the principles of nature, be able to tackle the challenges posed by highly complex networked systems? Bio-Inspired Optimization in Fog and Edge Computing: Principles, Algorithms, and Systems is an attempt to answer this question.
