Introduction
In this chapter, the recently-developed music-inspired harmony search (HS) algorithm is introduced and its various industrial applications are reviewed.
The HS algorithm (Geem et al 2001) mimics the behaviors of musicians improvising to find a fantastic harmony in terms of aesthetics. Similarly, the optimization process seeks a superior vector in terms of objective function. This is the core analogy between improvisation and optimization in the HS algorithm.
