Decomposition Techniques in Mathematical Programming: Engineering and Science Applications

Springer, 2006

This textbook for students and practitioners presents a practical approach to decomposition techniques in optimization. It provides an appropriate blend of theoretical background and practical applications in engineering and science, which makes the book interesting for practitioners, as well as engineering, operations research and applied...

Integrating Routing Decisions in Public Transportation Problems (Springer Optimization and Its Applications)

Springer, 2014

This book treats three planning problems arising in public railway transportation planning: line planning, timetabling, and delay management, with the objective to minimize passengers’ travel time. While many optimization approaches simplify these problems by assuming that passengers’ route choice is independent of the solution,...

Creative Evolutionary Systems (With CD-ROM)

Morgan Kaufmann, 2001

This volume shows the current state of the art, and the science, of evolutionary creativity. It shows what can--and equally important, what can't--be done at the turn of the new millennium. What will have been achieved by the turn of the next one is anyone's guess. Meanwhile, it's intriguing, it's instructive, it's difficult, and it's fun!...

Artificial Neural Networks in Real-life Applications

Idea Group Publishing, 2005

The analysis of the computational models developed up to the present day show that the
artificial neural networks (ANN) have certain limits as information processing paradigms.
We believe that these limitations may be due to the fact that the existing models neither
reflect certain behaviours of the neurons nor consider the...

Evolutionary Computation in Bioinformatics

Morgan Kaufmann, 2002

Bioinformatics has never been as popular as it is today. The genomics revolution is generating so much data in such rapid succession that it has become difficult for biologists to decipher. In particular, there are many problems in biology that are too large to solve with standard methods. Researchers in evolutionary computation (EC) have turned...

Combinatorial Search: From Algorithms to Systems

Springer, 2013

Although they are believed to be unsolvable in general, tractability results suggest that some practical NP-hard problems can be efficiently solved. Combinatorial search algorithms are designed to efficiently explore the usually large solution space of these instances by reducing the search space to feasible regions and using heuristics to...

Telecommunications Optimization: Heuristic and Adaptive Techniques

John Wiley & Sons, 2000

Each of us is interested in optimization, and telecommunications. Via several meetings,
conferences, chats, and other opportunities, we have discovered these joint interests and
decided to put together this book.
It certainly wasn’t easy. What made it difficult is partly the reason for this book in the
first place: things...

Data Mining: A Heuristic Approach

Idea Group Publishing, 2002

The last decade has witnessed a revolution in interdisciplinary research where the boundaries of different areas have overlapped or even disappeared. New fields of research emerge each day where two or more fields have integrated to form a new identity. Examples of these emerging areas include bioinformatics (synthesizing biology with...

Object-Oriented Design Heuristics

Addison Wesley, 1996

Upon completion of an object-oriented design, you are faced with a troubling question: "Is it good, bad, or somewhere in between?" Seasoned experts often answer this question by subjecting the design to a subconscious list of guidelines based on their years of experience. Experienced developer Arthur J. Riel has captured this elusive,...

Fundamentals of Complex Analysis with Applications to Engineering, Science, and Mathematics (3rd Edition)

Prentice Hall, 2003

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to complex variable theory and its applications to current engineering problems and is designed to make the fundamentals of the subject more easily accessible to readers who have little inclination to wade through the rigors of the axiomatic approach. Modeled after standard calculus books--both in...

Theoretical Aspects of Local Search (Monographs in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS Series)

Springer, 2007

In 1958 Croes published a twenty page article in Operations Research describing a new method to handle traveling salesman problems based on the iterative use of simple edge-exchange mechanisms. This article can be seen as the seminal paper on local search, reporting for the first time the success of simple neighborhood-based iteration methods when...

Introduction to Probability Models, Tenth Edition

Academic Press, 2009

Introduction to Probability Models, Tenth Edition, provides an introduction to elementary probability theory and stochastic processes. There are two approaches to the study of probability theory. One is heuristic and nonrigorous, and attempts to develop in students an intuitive feel for the subject that enables him or her to think...
