Intelligent Optimisation Techniques - Genetic Algorithms, Tabu Search, Simulated Annealing and Neural Networks (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2000)

This work gives a concise introduction to four important optimization techniques, presenting a range of applications drawn from electrical, manufacturing, mechanical, and systems engineering-such as the design of microstrip antennas, digital FIR filters, and fuzzy logic controllers. The book also contains the C programs used to implement the main techniques for those wishing to experiment with them.
