Heuristics

Professional writer Damien Walter shares secrets to make you BETTER than a ninja writer - a samurai of sentences!

This book explores new findings on the long-neglected topic of theory construction and discovery, and challenges the orthodox, current division of scientific development into discrete stages: the stage of generation of new hypotheses; the stage of collection of relevant data; the stage of justification of possible theories; and the final stage of selection from among equally confirmed theories.

Interested in how an efficient search engine works? Want to know what algorithms are used to rank resulting documents in response to user requests? The authors answer these and other key information retrieval design and implementation questions.

This short book compiles selected applications of heuristics and hyper-heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems, including scheduling and other assorted application scenarios.

Graph Algorithms, Genetic Algorithms, Simulated Annealing, Swarm Intelligence, Heuristics, Minimax and Meta-Heuristics

Why successful leaders must embrace simple strategies in an increasingly uncertain and complex world.
