Finding exact solutions to many combinatorial optimization problems in busi ness, engineering, and science still poses a real challenge, despite the impact of recent advances in mathematical programming and computer technology. New fields of applications, such as computational biology, electronic commerce, and supply chain management, bring new challenges and needs for algorithms and optimization techniques. Metaheuristics are master procedures that guide and modify the operations of subordinate heuristics, to produce improved approx imate solutions to hard optimization problems with respect...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Experimental and Efficient Algorithms, WEA 2004, held in Angra dos Reis, Brazil in May 2004. talks were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The book is devoted to the areas of design, analysis, and experimental evaluation of algorithms. Among the topics covered are scheduling, heuristics, combinatorial optimization, evoluitonary optimization, graph computations, labeling, robot navigation, shortest path algorithms, flow problems, searching, randomization and derandomization, string...
