The aims of the course are focused on the design and develop of algorithms that take inspiration from nature and biology, as well as the key features required for developing a successful algorithm. All bio-, or nature-inspired algorithms will be analysed and applied in the following application fields: optimization; anomaly detection; decision theory; and game theory.
The goal of the course is to provide to each student:
1) good knowledge on the basic concepts;
2) good knowledge on the "intelligent systems" and their designing;
3) excellent ability in developing an efficient bio-, or nature-inspired algorithm;
4) problem-solving
