Editorial Reviews
Review
The book and companion web page are well written, easy to read and suited for students, scholars, researchers and practitioners alike.
Ruben Ruiz and Marco Pranzo, European Journal of Operational Research Article in Press

If you are looking for a book that covers all the major metaheuristics, gives you insight into their working, and guides you in their application to a wide set of combinatorial optimization problems, this is the book.
Marco Dorigo, Université Libre de Bruxelles

Hoos and Stützles treatment of the topic is comprehensive and covers a variety of techniques, but a main feature of the book is its proposal of a most welcome unifying framework for describing and analyzing the various methods.
Michel Gendreau, Université de Montréal

This book is full of information and insights that would be invaluable for both researchers and practitioners.
Henry Kautz, University of Washington

This extensive book provides an authoritative and detailed exposition for novices and experts alike who need to tackle difficult decision or combinatorial optimization problems.
Olivier Martin, Université Paris-Sud, Orsay

The authors provide a lucid and comprehensive introduction to the large body of work on stochastic local search methods for solving combinatorial problems. An excellent overview of the wide range of applications of stochastic local search methods is included.
Bart Selman, Cornell University

... a comprehensive and informative survey of the field that will equip you with the tools and understanding to use stochastic local search to solve the problems you come across.
Toby Walsh, Cork Constraint Computation Centre, University College Cork

The book provides a unification of a broad spectrum of methods that enables concise, highly readable descriptions of theoretical and experimental results.
David L. Woodruff, University of California, Davis

One of the nice features of this book is that it puts some considered metaheuristics into broader perspective. It will serve as an entry point for this field for quite some time.
Stefan Voss, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany

This book is the first in unifying the dispersed field of Stochastic Local Search (SLS) algorithms. It provides an excellent empirical scientific methodology geared towards the successful application of SLS algorithms in practice.
European Journal of Operational Research
