Searching and optimizing by using collective intelligence are known as highly efficient
methods that can be used to solve complex engineering problems. Ant colony optimization …

Ant colony optimization is a swarm intelligent algorithm that mimics the ant behaviors to
optimize solutions for hard optimization problems. Over years Ant-based algorithms have …

The adoption of deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) has surged in recent years
because of their imperative practicalities in different disciplines. Among these feasible …

Since ancient times, there is a need to save data from third parties that spy on the data,
leads to the practice of steganography to ensure data integrity and privacy. The advent in …
