Adaptive and Multilevel Metaheuristics (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Buy
One of the keystones in practical metaheuristic problem-solving is the fact that tuning the optimization technique to the problem under consideration is crucial for achieving top performance. This tuning/customization is usually in the hands of the algorithm designer, and despite some methodological attempts, it largely remains a scientific art. Transferring a part of this customization effort to the algorithm itself -endowing it with smart mechanisms to self-adapt to the problem- has been a long pursued goal in the field of metaheuristics.

These mechanisms can involve different aspects of the algorithm, such as for example, self-adjusting the parameters, self-adapting the functioning of internal components, evolving search strategies, etc.

Recently, the idea of hyperheuristics, i.e., using a metaheuristic layer for adapting the search by selectively using different low-level heuristics, has also been gaining popularity. This volume presents recent advances in the area of adaptativeness in metaheuristic optimization, including up-to-date reviews of hyperheuristics and self-adaptation in evolutionary algorithms, as well as cutting edge works on adaptive, self-adaptive and multilevel metaheuristics, with application to both combinatorial and continuous optimization.

Multiscale Theory of Composites and Random Media
Multiscale Theory of Composites and Random Media

This is the first book to introduce Green-function-based multiscale theory and the corresponding finite element method, which are readily applicable to composites and random media. The methodology is considered to be the one that most effectively tackles the uncertainty of stress propagation in complex heterogeneities of random...

Elementary Theory of Numbers (Dover books on advanced mathematics)
Elementary Theory of Numbers (Dover books on advanced mathematics)
In the past few years there has been a great resurgence of interest in mathematics on both the secondary and undergraduate levels, and a growing recognition that the courses traditionally offered do not exhaust the mathematics which it is both possible and desirable to teach at those levels. Of course, not aU of modern mathematics is accessible;...
Configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Unity Connection: A Step-by-Step Guide (2nd Edition)
Configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Unity Connection: A Step-by-Step Guide (2nd Edition)

On March 10, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made the first successful telephone call. As with many things, the test was purely accidental. Graham spilled acid on his leg, and Watson, his assistant, heard his call for help through the telephone. So, what has changed over the last 129 years? It would be easier to discuss what hasn’t...
