This elaborative book discusses the concept of search algorithms for engineering development. Heuristic search is a significant sub-discipline of optimization theory and is applicable in a wide variety of areas, inclusive of engineering and life science. Search procedures have been useful in solving severe engineering-oriented difficulties that either could not be solved any other way or are time consuming. This book delves into several applications for search procedures and techniques in various areas of electrical engineering. This book organizes relevant results and applications and thus, serves as a significant resource for students, researchers and practitioners to further profit from the potential of search procedures in solving tough optimization difficulties that arise in advanced engineering technologies. Applications of search methods in areas such as image and video processing matters, detection and resource allocation in telecommunication systems, security and harmonic reduction in power generation systems are covered. The book also discusses redundancy optimization difficulty and search-fuzzy learning methods in industrial applications.
