Intelligent Optimisation Techniques: Genetic Algorithms, Tabu Search, Simulated Annealing and Neural Networks

by D.T. Pham and D. Karaboga

Book Overview

This book covers four optimisation techniques loosely classified as "intelligent" genetic algorithms, tabu search, simulated annealing and neural networks. - Genetic algorithms (GAs) locate optima using processes similar to those in natural selection and genetics. - Tabu search is a heuristic procedure that employs dynamically generated constraints or tabus to guide the search for optimum solutions. - Simulated annealing finds optima in a way analogous...
