The first part is devoted to the detailed presentation of the four most widely known metaheuristics: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- the simulated annealing method, \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- tabu search, \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- the evolutionary algorithms, \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- ant colony algorithms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach one of these metaheuristics is actually a family of methods, of which the essential elements are discussed. In the second part, the book presents some other less widespread metaheuristics, then, extensions of metaheuristics and some ways of research are described . The problem of the choice of a metaheuristic is posed and solution methods are discussed. The last part concentrates on three case studies from telecommunications, air traffic control, and vehicle routing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 372\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.05 x 9.46 x 6.5 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 24, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52494102561075,"sku":"9783540230229","price":96.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/gJGuLxYBXG9783540230229.webp?v=1759971281","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/metaheuristics-for-hard-optimization-methods-and-case-studies-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
