Third Generation Heuristic:

More about the book

Focusing on the development and application of heuristics, this monograph serves as a comprehensive guide for students and academics. It outlines a structured approach to creating a hybrid TSP heuristic research framework, including conducting experiments, developing a data analysis tool, and performing statistical comparisons of heuristic performances. Additionally, it surveys existing heuristics and variants, presents a standard classification scheme, and introduces the Hybrid Erosion And Deposition (HEAD) metaheuristic, offering essential insights for effective heuristic research implementation.
