This tuning\/customization is usually in the hands of the algorithm designer, and despite some methodological attempts, it largely remains a scientific art. Transferring a part of this customization effort to the algorithm itself -endowing it with smart mechanisms to self-adapt to the problem- has been a long pursued goal in the field of metaheuristics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese mechanisms can involve different aspects of the algorithm, such as for example, self-adjusting the parameters, self-adapting the functioning of internal components, evolving search strategies, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecently, the idea of hyperheuristics, i.e., using a metaheuristic layer for adapting the search by selectively using different low-level heuristics, has also been gaining popularity. This volume presents recent advances in the area of adaptativeness in metaheuristic optimization, including up-to-date reviews of hyperheuristics and self-adaptation in evolutionary algorithms, as well as cutting edge works on adaptive, self-adaptive and multilevel metaheuristics, with application to both combinatorial and continuous optimization.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274781614231,"sku":"9783642098338","price":10915.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783642098338.webp?v=1769280928","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/adaptive-and-multilevel-metaheuristics-9783642098338","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
