| Summary |
Beginning with a tutorial on genetic algorithm fundamentals and their use in solving constrained and combinatorial optimization problems, the book applies these techniques to problems in specific areas - sequencing, scheduling and vehicle routing, facility layout, location-allocation, and more. Each topic features a clearly written problem description, mathematical model, and summary of conventional heuristic algorithms. All algorithms are explained in intuitive, rather than highly-technical, language and are reinforced with illustrative figures and numerical examples. Ideal for both self-study and classroom use, this self-contained reference provides indispensable state-of-the-art guidance to profeccionals and students working in industrial engineering, management science, operations research, computer science, and artificial intelgence |
