Abstract
Having already introduced elements from various literatures which are relevant to the design of foraging-inspired search algorithms, Chapter 5 provides an introduction to the literature on foraging-inspired optimisation algorithms. In order to make this literature more accessible, a number of taxonomies of the various algorithms are presented. This chapter also outlines a metaframework within which most foraginginspired algorithms can be conceptualised, as well as setting up the following parts of the book, which discuss the specifics of a wide range of foraging-inspired algorithms.
