Horst, and P.M. Pardalos, was published. This second volume of the \u003cstrong\u003eHandbook of Global Optimization\u003c\/strong\u003e is comprised of chapters dealing with modern approaches to global optimization, including different types of heuristics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTopics covered in the handbook include various metaheuristics, such as simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, neural networks, taboo search, shake-and-bake methods, and deformation methods. In addition, the book contains chapters on new exact stochastic and deterministic approaches to continuous and mixed-integer global optimization, such as stochastic adaptive search, two-phase methods, branch-and-bound methods with new relaxation and branching strategies, algorithms based on local optimization, and dynamical search. Finally, the book contains chapters on experimental analysis of algorithms and software, test problems, and applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Panos M.
