A unified view of metaheuristics This book provides a complete background on
metaheuristics and shows readers how to design and implement efficient algorithms to solve
complex optimization problems across a diverse range of applications, from networking and
bioinformatics to engineering design, routing, and scheduling. It presents the main design
questions for all families of metaheuristics and clearly illustrates how to implement the
algorithms under a software framework to reuse both the design and code. Throughout the …
