Not only do modeling and simulation help provide a better understanding of how real-world systems function, they also enable us to predict system behavior before a system is actually built and analyze systems accurately under varying operating conditions. Modeling and Simulation of Systems Using MATLAB^® and...

Solving complex optimization problems with parallelmetaheuristics

Parallel Metaheuristics brings together an international group ofexperts in parallelism and metaheuristics to provide a much-neededsynthesis of these two fields. Readers discover how metaheuristictechniques can provide useful and practical solutions for a...

One major branch of enhancing the performance of evolutionary algorithms is the exploitation of linkage learning. This monograph aims to capture the recent progress of linkage learning, by compiling a series of focused technical chapters to keep abreast of the developments and trends in the area of linkage. In evolutionary algorithms, linkage...
