Description for Essays and Surveys in Metaheuristics
Hardback. The field of metaheuristics has been fast evolving. This volume presents essays on some of the main optimization strategies, including: simulated annealing; tabu search; genetic algorithms; scatter search; greedy randomized adaptive search; and variable neighbourhood search. Editor(s): Hansen, Pierre; Ribeiro, Celso C. Series: Operations Research/Computer Science Interfaces Series. Num Pages: 651 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBU; PBW; UM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 161 x 43. Weight in Grams: 1138.
Finding exact solutions to many combinatorial optimization problems in busi ness, engineering, and science still poses a real challenge, despite the impact of recent advances in mathematical programming and computer technology. New fields of applications, such as computational biology, electronic commerce, and supply chain management, bring new challenges and needs for algorithms and optimization techniques. Metaheuristics are master procedures that guide and modify the operations of subordinate heuristics, to produce improved approx imate solutions to hard optimization problems with respect to more simple algorithms. They also provide fast and robust tools, producing high-quality solutions in reasonable computation times. The field ... Read more
