Search Methodologies: Introductory Tutorials in Optimization and Decision Support Techniques

Editat de Edmund K. Burke, Graham Kendall
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 oct 2010
Search Methodologies is a tutorial survey of the methodologies that are at the confluence of several fields: Computer Science, Mathematics and Operations Research. It is a carefully structured and integrated treatment of the major technologies in optimization and search methodology. The book is made up of 19 chapters. The chapter authors are drawn from across Computer Science and Operations Research and include some of the world’s leading authorities in their field.
The result is a major state-of-the-art tutorial text of the main optimization and search methodologies available to researchers, students and practitioners across discipline domains in applied science. It can be used as a textbook or a reference book to learn and apply these methodologies to a wide range of today’s problems. It has been written by some of the world’s most well known authors in the field.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"This edited book is … designed to provide introductions to topics in search methodology. … The chapters are well-written, accurate and carefully presented and provide a good exposition of each of the topics. … Although aimed at PhD students, and I would certainly recommend the book to them and to supervisors, this volume should prove very useful to a wider audience … . It provides an excellent introduction to a large set of techniques in search methodology and is a pleasure to read." (JM Wilson, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 58 (3), 2007)

Caracteristici

Fills the need for a good survey of heuristics optimizations methods The editors, Edmund Burke and Graham Kendall, are two excellent names in the field and the contributors are all the top people with respect to their specific chapter techniques The reviews indicate that the book can and will be used as a principal textbook in courses in Heuristics Search, Metaheuristics, Heuristic Optimization, Search Methodology and Optimization Methods, etc.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The first edition of Search Methodologies: Introductory Tutorials in Optimization and Decision Support Techniques was originally put together to offer a basic introduction to the various search and optimization techniques that students might need to use during their research, and this new edition continues this tradition. Search Methodologies has been expanded and brought completely up to date, including new chapters covering scatter search, GRASP, and very large neighborhood search. The chapter authors are drawn from across Computer Science and Operations Research and include some of the world’s leading authorities in their field. The book provides useful guidelines for implementing the methods and frameworks described and offers valuable tutorials to students and researchers in the field.
“As I embarked on the pleasant journey of reading through the chapters of this book, I became convinced that this is one of the best sources of introductory material on thesearch methodologies topic to be found. The book’s subtitle, “Introductory Tutorials in Optimization and Decision Support Techniques”, aptly describes its aim, and the editors and contributors to this volume have achieved this aim with remarkable success. The chapters in this book are exemplary in giving useful guidelines for implementing the methods and frameworks described.”
Fred Glover, Leeds School of Business, University of Colorado Boulder, USA
“[The book] aims to present a series of well written tutorials by the leading experts in their fields. Moreover, it does this by covering practically the whole possible range of topics in the discipline. It enables students and practitioners to study and appreciate the beauty and the power of some of the computational search techniques that are able to effectively navigate through search spaces that are sometimes inconceivably large. I am convinced that this second edition will build on the success of the first edition andthat it will prove to be just as popular.”
