Annealing is the physical process of heating up a solid until it melts, followed by careful cooling until it cristalyzes in a state corresponding to a perfect lattice. In combinatorial optimization a similar process can be defined and the resulting method is called simulated annealing. A substantial reduction of the computational effort required by the simulated annealing algorithm may be achieved by using computational models that are based on massively parallel execution. An example of such a model is the Boltzmann machine. A Boltzmann machine is thought to consist of a large network of...

Local search has been applied successfully to a diverse collection of optimization problems. It's appreciated for its basic conceptual foundation, its general applicability, and its power to serve as a source for new search paradigms. The typical characteristics of combinatorial optimization problems to which local search can be applied, its relation to complexity theory, and the combination with randomized search features have led to a wealth of interesting theoretical results. However, these results are scattered throughout the literature.
This is the first book that presents a...

The rapid growth in electronic systems in the past decade has boosted - search in the area of computational intelligence. As it has become increasingly easy to generate, collect, transport, process, and store huge amounts of data, the role of intelligent algorithms has become prominent in order to visualize, manipulate, retrieve, and interpret the data. For instance, intelligent search techniques have been developed to search for relevant items in huge coll- tions of web pages, and data mining and interpretation techniques play a very important role in making sense out of huge amounts of...

The advent of the digital era, the Internet, and the development of fast com puting devices that can access mass storage servers at high communication bandwidths have brought within our reach the world of ambient intelligent systems. These systems provide users with information, communication, and entertainment at any desired place and time. Since its introduction in 1998, the vision of Ambient Intelligence has attracted much attention within the re search community. Especially, the need for intelligence generated by smart al gorithms, which run on digital platforms that are integrated into...
