From the reviews of the first edition:
"The book contains two well-performed case studies, which include thorough analysis of complexity, modelling of problems, design and implementation of solving algorithms and their verification, testing and comparison. Real-world instances of the problems in offline and online form were used to verify and compare the individual algorithms and their combinations. The associated results are reported in the appendices to complete the studies." (Jaroslav Janácek, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1083, 2006)
