What is Handbook of Heuristics about?

The second edition will comprise at least 15 new chapters surrounding methodologies and applications. As a start, the following new topics were proposed: Methodologies: Automatic algorithm selection, Automatic algorithm tuning, Machine learning, Path Relinking, Simulated annealing, Quantum computing. Applications: Airline optimization, Artificial intelligence, Cloud computing, Electrical power systems, Finance, Order batching, Pharmaceutical, Production, Vehicle routing. Additionally, authors of existing 'chapters' will be contacted to encourage them to revise/update their entries. **From the first edition** Heuristics are strategies using readily accessible, loosely applicable information to control problem solving. Algorithms, for example, are a type of heuristic. By contrast, Metaheuristics are methods used to design Heuristics and may coordinate the usage of several Heuristics toward the formulation of a single method. GRASP (Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedures) is an example of a Metaheuristic. To the layman, heuristics may be thought of as 'rules of thumb' but despite its imprecision, heuristics is a very rich field that refers to experience-based techniques for prob
