I'm not usually a fan of edited volumes. Too often they are an
incoherent hodgepodge of remnants, renegades, or rejects foisted
upon an unsuspecting reading public under a misleading or
fraudulent title. The volume Scalable Optimization via
Probabilistic Modeling: From Algorithms to Applications is a worthy
addition to your library because it succeeds on exactly those
dimensions where so many edited volumes fail. For example, take the
title, Scalable Optimization via Probabilistic M- eling: From
Algorithms to Applications. You need not worry that you're going to
pick up this book and ?nd stray articles about anything else. This
book focuseslikealaserbeamononeofthehottesttopicsinevolutionary
compu- tion over the last decade or so: estimation of distribution
algorithms (EDAs). EDAs borrow evolutionary computation's
population orientation and sel- tionism and throw out the genetics
to give us a hybrid of substantial power, elegance, and
extensibility. The article sequencing in most edited volumes is
hard to understand, but from the get go the editors of this volume
have assembled a set of articles sequenced in a logical fashion.
The book moves from design to e?ciency enhancement and then
concludes with relevant applications. The emphasis on e?ciency
enhancement is particularly important, because the data-mining

of data-guided adaptation that can further speed solutions through
the construction and utilization of e?ective surrogates, hybrids,
and parallel and temporal decompositions.
