Short description
Parallel Metaheuristics provides a single, up-to-date reference on parallel metaheuristic issues. This comprehensive book presents modern and ongoing research information on using, designing, and analyzing efficient models of parallel algorithms (numeric and real-time efficiency, algorithms, comparison of parallel models). Coverage includes end of chapter complex and NP-hard problems and real-world problem solutions.
