Stochastic Algorithms: Foundations and Applications

Know about the book -

Stochastic Algorithms: Foundations and Applications is written by Andreas Albrecht and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3540398163 (ISBN 10) and 9783540398165 (ISBN 13).

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Stochastic Algorithms: Foundations and Applications, SAGA 2003, held in Hatfield, UK in September 2003. The 12 revised full papers presented together with three invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. Among the topics addressed are ant colony optimization, randomized algorithms for the intersection problem, local search for constraint satisfaction problems, randomized local search and combinatorial optimization, simulated annealing, probabilistic global search, network communication complexity, open shop scheduling, aircraft routing, traffic control, randomized straight-line programs, and stochastic automata and probabilistic transformations.
