Handbook of Metaheuristics

Handbook of Metaheuristics edited by Fred W. Glover, Gary A. Kochenberger.

Metaheuristics, in their original definition, 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. Over time, these methods h...
