| Short description
Metaheuristics provides a complete background of metaheuristics, enabling readers to design and deploy powerful algorithms to solve complex optimization problems in a diverse range of industries. Using case studies in different domains, including telecommunications, transportation and logistics, bioinformatics, design engineering, and scheduling provides clear information for these diverse markets. The book is an effective resource for engineers, researchers, and developers, and an ideal text for graduate students in computer science, bioinformatics, electrical engineering, and applied mathematics courses.
