This book explores the meta-heuristics approach called tabu search,
which is dramatically changing our ability to solve a host of
problems that stretch over the realms of resource planning,
telecommunications, VLSI design, financial analysis, scheduling,
space planning, energy distribution, molecular engineering,
logistics, pattern classification, flexible manufacturing, waste
management, mineral exploration, biomedical analysis, environmental
conservation and scores of other problems. The major ideas of tabu
search are presented with examples that show their relevance to
multiple applications. Numerous illustrations and diagrams are used
to clarify principles that deserve emphasis, and that have not
always been well understood or applied. The book's goal is to
provide hands-on' knowledge and insight alike, rather than to focus
exclusively either on computational recipes or on abstract themes.
This book is designed to be useful and accessible to researchers
and practitioners in management science, industrial engineering,
economics, and computer science. It can appropriately be used as a
textbook in a masters course or in a doctoral seminar. Because of
its emphasis on presenting ideas through illustrations and
diagrams, and on identifying associated practical applications, it
can also be used as a supplementary text in upper division
undergraduate courses. Finally, there are many more applications of
tabu search than can possibly be covered in a single book, and new
ones are emerging every day. The book's goal is to provide a
grounding in the essential ideas of tabu search that will allow
readers to create successful applications of their own. Along with
the essential ideas, understanding of advanced issues is provided,
enabling researchers to go beyond today's developments and create
the methods of tomorrow.
