The third edition of this handbook is designed to provide a broad
coverage of the concepts, implementations, and applications in
metaheuristics. The book's chapters serve as stand-alone
presentations giving both the necessary underpinnings as well as
practical guides for implementation. The nature of metaheuristics
invites an analyst to modify basic methods in response to problem
characteristics, past experiences, and personal preferences, and
the chapters in this handbook are designed to facilitate this
process as well. This new edition has been fully revised and
features new chapters on swarm intelligence and automated design of
metaheuristics from flexible algorithm frameworks. The authors who
have contributed to this volume represent leading figures from the
metaheuristic community and are responsible for pioneering
contributions to the fields they write about. Their collective work
has significantly enriched the field of optimization in general and
combinatorial optimization in particular.Metaheuristics are
solution methods that orchestrate an interaction between local
improvement procedures and higher level strategies to create a
process capable of escaping from local optima and performing a
robust search of a solution space. In addition, many new and
exciting developments and extensions have been observed in the last
few years. Hybrids of metaheuristics with other optimization
techniques, like branch-and-bound, mathematical programming or
constraint programming are also increasingly popular. On the front
of applications, metaheuristics are now used to find high-quality
solutions to an ever-growing number of complex, ill-defined
real-world problems, in particular combinatorial ones. This
handbook should continue to be a great reference for researchers,
graduate students, as well as practitioners interested in
metaheuristics.
