Many advances have recently been made in metaheuristic methods, from theory to applications.
The community of researchers claiming the relevance of their work to the field of metaheuristics is growing faster and faster, despite the fact that the term itself has not been precisely defined.
This book discusses theoretical developments in metaheuristics, cooperative methods combining different approaches, parallel and distributed metaheuristics for multiobjective optimization, and real-world applications.

Written for:
Engineers, researchers and graduate students in computer science and fields related to operations research and applied mathematics.

Keywords:
Computational intelligence - metaheuristics - evolutionary algorithms - optimization.
