Many advances have recently been made in metaheuristic methods, from theory to applications. The editors, both leading experts in this field, have assembled a team of researchers to contribute 21 chapters organized into parts on simulated annealing, tabu search, ant colony algorithms, general purpose studies of evolutionary algorithms, applications of evolutionary algorithms, and metaheuristics.
The book gathers contributions related to the following topics: theoretical developments in metaheuristics, adaptation of discrete metaheuristics to continuous optimization, performance comparisons of metaheuristics, cooperative methods combining different approaches, parallel and distributed metaheuristics for multiobjective optimization, software implementations, and real-world applications.
This book is suitable for practitioners, researchers and graduate students in disciplines such as optimization, heuristics, operations research, and natural computing.
Written for:
Researchers and graduate students in computer science and fields related to optimization (operations research, mathematics).
Keywords:
Ant colony optimization, Ant systems, Evolutionary computing, Hard optimization, Heuristic methods, Multiobjective optimization, Simulated annealing, Tabu search.
