Engineering Stochastic Local Search Algorithms. Designing, Implementing and Analyzing Effective Heuristics International Workshop, SLS 2007, Brussels, Belgium, September 6-8, 2007, Proceedings

Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms enjoy great popularity as powerful and versatile tools for tackling computationally hard decision and optimization pr- lems from many areas of computer science, operations research, and engineering. To a large degree, this popularity is based on the conceptua...
