Readers discover how metaheuristic techniques can provide useful and practical solutions for a wide range of problems and application domains, with an emphasis on the fields of telecommunications and bioinformatics. This volume fills a long-existing gap, allowing researchers and practitioners to develop efficient metaheuristic algorithms to find solutions.Wiley series on parallel and distributed computing.Mathematical optimizationParallel algorithmsOperations researchMathematical optimization.Parallel algorithms.Operations research.519.6Alba Enrique853126MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911020136803321Parallel metaheuristics4417132UNINA
