This book brings together the current stateof-the-art research in Self Organizing Migrating Algorithm (SOMA) as a novelpopulation-based evolutionary algorithm, modeled on the predator-preyrelationship, by its leading practitioners. 
As the first ever book on SOMA, this book isgeared towards graduate students, academics and researchers, who are looking fora good optimization algorithm for their applications. This book presents themethodology of SOMA, covering both the real and discrete domains, and itsvarious implementations in different research areas. The easy-to-follow andimplement methodology used in the book will make it easier for a reader toimplement, modify and utilize SOMA.
