Most textbooks on modern heuristics provide the reader with
detailed descriptions of the functionality of single examples like
genetic algorithms, genetic programming, tabu search, simulated
annealing, and others, but fail to teach the underlying concepts
behind these different approaches.
The author takes a different approach in this textbook by
focusing on the users' needs and answering three fundamental
questions: First, he tells us which problems modern heuristics are
expected to perform well on, and which should be left to
traditional optimization methods. Second, he teaches us to
systematically design the "right" modern heuristic for a particular
problem by providing a coherent view on design elements and working
principles. Third, he shows how we can make use of problem-specific
knowledge for the design of efficient and effective modern
heuristics that solve not only small toy problems but also perform
well on large real-world problems.
This book is written in an easy-to-read style and it is aimed at
students and practitioners in computer science, operations research
and information systems who want to understand modern heuristics
and are interested in a guide to their systematic design and
use.
