Metaheuristics: From Design To Implementation (... -

: Focuses on local search-based methods that transform a single candidate solution, such as Simulated Annealing , Tabu Search , and Iterated Local Search .

by El-Ghazali Talbi is a comprehensive guide to solving complex optimization problems using general-purpose heuristic strategies. The book is structured to provide a "toolbox" for designing and implementing efficient algorithms, moving from basic concepts to advanced hybrid and parallel systems. Core Framework of the Book Metaheuristics: From Design to Implementation (...

The content is generally divided into two main parts that categorize metaheuristics based on how they navigate the search space: : Focuses on local search-based methods that transform
