This book presents recent developments in modelling and optimization of engineering systems and the use of advanced mathematical methods for solving complex real-world problems. It provides recent theoretical developments and new techniques based on control, optimization theory, mathematical modeling and fractional calculus that can be used to model and understand complex behavior in natural phenomena including latest technologies such as additive manufacturing. Specific topics covered in detail include combinatorial optimization, flow and heat transfer, mathematical modelling, energy storage and management policy, artificial intelligence, optimal control, modelling and optimization of manufacturing systems.

• Presents new approaches to design and optimize emerging manufacturing systems
• Examines the similarities between design and optimization processes
• Explains metaheuristics applied to complex engineering problems
• Features sections on optimization in the energy storage and generation and optimal control in economics and operational research
