Reviews

The book under review contains large amount of precisely selected topics covering various aspects and design techniques related to efficient metaheuristic algorithms for searching and optimization. ... is intended primarily as a textbook for graduate students specializing in engineering and computer science. Besides being very useful as a valuable resource for post-docs and researchers working in these areas, it may as well be used by those who are interested in search and optimization methods in general. (Vladim�r Lacko, zbMATH, 1351.90002, 2017)
