The Harmony Search (HS) algorithm appeared around the year 2000 and it now has a substantial literature. The aim of this chapter is to inform the reader of the diversity of HS applications and the range of modified and hybrid HS methods that have been developed. The chapter contains five sections. In the first, the different types of optimisation problem are described. Section two provides an overview of the growth in the literature, a chronology of some HS highlights and a breakdown of HS work by discipline. In the third section, HS applications in nine discipline areas are reported. The fourth section classifies the types of modifications that have been made to the original HS method and summarises the innovations in many of the modified algorithms. Lastly, we take a step back and reflect on the current state of the HS literature.
