From the reviews:
„The ‘Handbook of Metaheuristics’ consists of 19 chapters each describing one metaheuristic. Every chapter is authored by one or more experts in the individual field … . I am satisfied that their individual contents are of high quality. … So, in short, an excellent book if you want to learn about a number of individual metaheuristics.“ (U Aickelin, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Issue 56, 2005)
This book provides both the research and practitioner communities with a comprehensive coverage of the metaheuristic methodologies that have proven to be successful in a wide variety of real-world problem settings.
