A unified view of metaheuristics
================================
Abstract: This book provides a complete background on metaheuristics and
shows readers how to design and implement powerful search algorithms to
solve complex optimization problems across a diverse range of
optimization problems in science and industry. It presents the main
design questions for all families of metaheuristics (e.g.
representations, neighborhoods, parameter tuning, constraint handling,
performance evaluation).
The key search components of metaheuristics are considered as a toolbox
for:
• Designing efficient single-solution based metaheuristics (e.g. local
search, tabu search simulated annealing, GRASP, variable neighborhood
search, iterative local search, guided local search).
• Designing efficient population based metaheuristics (e.g. evolutionary
algorithms, scatter search, particle swarm, ant colonies, bee colonies,
artificial immune systems, EDA, differential evolution).
• Designing efficient metaheuristics for multi-objective optimization.
• Designing hybrid, parallel and distributed metaheuristics.
• Implementing metaheuristics on sequential and parallel machines. It
clearly illustrates how to implement algorithms to reuse both the design
and code.
With more than 200 illustrative examples using various case studies and
treating design and implementation independently, this book gives
readers the skills necessary to solve large-scale problems quickly and
efficiently.
It is a valuable reference for practicing engineers from diverse areas
dealing with optimization; researchers and developers designing
metaheuristics; and graduate or undergraduate students in business,
management, computer science, operations research, engineering, and
applied mathematics. More than 200 exercises are also provided.
