His main research activity concerns the study of complex systems, in particular the development of new numerical methods to model and simulate phenomena in natural sciences, economics, social systems, and biomedical applications, the key tools used being cellular automata, the lattice Boltzmann method, and multiagent techniques. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarco Tomassini\u003c\/b\u003e is an honorary professor at the Faculty of Business and Economics of the University of Lausanne (HEC). After obtaining a PhD degree in Theoretical Chemistry working on computer simulations of condensed matter systems, he switched to Computer Science and complex systems investigations. His main research activities have since focused on parallel computing, cellular automata, evolutionary algorithms, the structure of difficult problem landscapes, complex networks, and evolutionary games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 226\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 13, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52481099530547,"sku":"9783319930725","price":96.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/YnV0Q1FvLzRxSUpmUEk3c3BQbCtUQT09.webp?v=1759730295","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/an-introduction-to-metaheuristics-for-optimization-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
