Optimization is a pivotal aspect of software design. The techniques treated in this book represent the leading edge of research as elucidated by the leading researchers, many of whom are the originators of the methods. The volume editors are experienced and respected researchers and the subject is one of growing interest in advanced undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.There are a collection of well-known modern optimization methods being researched and applied to real problems worldwide. These include a variety of local search methods (hillclimbing, simulated annealing, tabu search, ...) and so-called evolutionary computation methods (genetic algorithms, genetic programming, evolutionary programming...). In recent years, a range of novel ideas have emerged in this research community, proposing new algorithms which are interestingly different from the current well-studied crop. In particular, these new ideas include: Ant Colony based optimisation, Scatter Search, Differential Evolution, Immune System Methods, Optima Linking, and Parallel Distributed Genetic Programming.

Unique in that it focuses on formulation and case studies ratherthan solutions procedures covering applications for pure,generalized and integer networks, equivalent formulations plussuccessful techniques of network models. Every chapter contains asimple model which is expanded to handle more complicateddevelopments, a synopsis of existing applications, one or more casestudies, at least 20 exercises and invaluable references. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all theproblems in the book is available upon request from the Wileyeditorial department.
