Editors: Stefka Fidanova



Shows how to develop algorithms for real-life problems based on new metaheuristic methods such as evolutionary computation, ant colony optimization, constraint programming and others

Constitutes a comprehensive collection of extended contributions from the 7th Workshop on Computational Optimization WCO 2014 held in Warsaw, Poland, September 7-10, 2014

Includes important real problems such as parameter settings for controlling processes in bioreactor, resource constrained project scheduling, problems arising in transport services, error correcting codes, optimal system performance and energy consumption

This volume is a comprehensive collection of extended contributions from the Workshop on Computational Optimization 2014, held at Warsaw, Poland, September 7-10, 2014.

The book presents recent advances in computational optimization. The volume includes important real problems like parameter settings for controlling processes in bioreactor and other processes, resource constrained project scheduling, infection distribution, molecule distance geometry, quantum computing, real-time management and optimal control, bin packing, medical image processing, localization the abrupt atmospheric contamination source and so on.

It shows how to develop algorithms for them based on new metaheuristic methods like evolutionary computation, ant colony optimization, constrain programming and others. This research demonstrates how some real-world problems arising in engineering, economics, medicine and other domains can be formulated as optimization tasks.
