The first edition of Search Methodologies: Introductory Tutorials
in Optimization and Decision Support Techniques was originally put
together to offer a basic introduction to the various search and
optimization techniques that students might need to use during
their research, and this new edition continues this tradition.
Search Methodologies has been expanded and brought completely up to
date, including new chapters covering scatter search, GRASP, and
very large neighborhood search. The chapter authors are drawn from
across Computer Science and Operations Research and include some of
the world's leading authorities in their field. The book provides
useful guidelines for implementing the methods and frameworks
described and offers valuable tutorials to students and researchers
in the field. "As I embarked on the pleasant journey of reading
through the chapters of this book, I became convinced that this is
one of the best sources of introductory material on the search
methodologies topic to be found. The book's subtitle, "Introductory
Tutorials in Optimization and Decision Support Techniques", aptly
describes its aim, and the editors and contributors to this volume
have achieved this aim with remarkable success. The chapters in
this book are exemplary in giving useful guidelines for
implementing the methods and frameworks described." Fred Glover,
Leeds School of Business, University of Colorado Boulder, USA "[The
book] aims to present a series of well written tutorials by the
leading experts in their fields. Moreover, it does this by covering
practically the whole possible range of topics in the discipline.
It enables students and practitioners to study and appreciate the
beauty and the power of some of the computational search techniques
that are able to effectively navigate through search spaces that
are sometimes inconceivably large. I am convinced that this second
edition will build on the success of the first edition and that it
will prove to be just as popular." Jacek Blazewicz, Institute of
Computing Science, Poznan University of Technology and Institute of
Bioorganic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences
