This book explains the most prominent, successfulhybridization techniques and some newer promising strategies. A firstintroductory chapter reviews the basic principles of local search, prominentmetaheuristics, and tree search, dynamic programming, mixed integer linearprogramming, and constraint programming for combinatorial optimizationpurposes. The chapters that follow present five generally applicablehybridization strategies, with exemplary case studies on selected problems:incomplete solution representations and decoders; problem instance reduction;large neighborhood search; parallel non-independent construction of solutionswithin metaheuristics; and hybridization based on complete solution archives.The authors are among the leading researchers in thehybridization of metaheuristics with other techniques for optimization, andtheir work reflects the broad shift to problem-oriented rather thanalgorithm-oriented approaches, enabling faster and more effectiveimplement

ation in real-life applications. This hybridization is not restrictedto different variants of metaheuristics but includes, for example, thecombination of mathematical programming, dynamic programming, constraintprogramming or statistical modeling with metaheuristics, reflecting cross-fertilizationin fields such as optimization, algorithmics, mathematical modeling, operationsresearch, statistics, and simulation. The book is a valuable introduction andreference for researchers and graduate students in these domains.

Arvustused

From the perspective of a practitioner with real-world experience in combinatorial optimization, the text is comprehensive, and at the same time it offers fresh angles and shares valuable expertise. I highly recommend this book, both to practitioners and theoreticians at the post graduate levels, be they rooted either at the formal/rigid or heuristic/soft ends of Combinatorial Optimization research or practice. (Ofer M. Shir, Genetic Programming and Evolvable Machines, Vol. 19 (1-2), June, 2018)

This book by Blum and Raidl constructs a bridge between these two approaches and aims to share expertise gained from each end. The book is well-structured. I highly recommend this book,both to practitioners and theoreticians at the post graduate levels, be they rooted either at the formal/rigid or heuristic/soft ends of Combinatorial Optimization research or practice.
