5.0 out of 5 stars Solid theory and application plus history, February 8, 2001

This review is from: Simulated Annealing: Theory and Applications (Mathematics and Its Applications) (Hardcover)

Laahoven and Aarts, particulary Aarts, made a great stuff in heuristic reference book. Even though Simulated Annealing (SA) has long history but there is no work as complete as this book. Don't let the publication date fools you, 10 year book stills as good as yesterday for its comprehensive and the story of SA. Even though Aarts edits several books and papers after this book, they are far different from this solid SA book. I don't have this book though, just read it from Library loan. It's a sad story for this book is out of print. I wish the publisher will have it for you soon.
