AIMS & OBJECTIVES Heuristics, popularly known as rules of thumb, stand for strategies that improve the average-case performance of problem solving task. An efficient heuristic discovers good solutions for hard problems relatively quickly. Metaheuristics means heuristics for managing heuristics. Metaheuristics control the application and interaction of one or more heuristics searching for a better solution than any single heuristic would find on its own. The aim of this course is to present the nature and the power of widely used metaheuristic methods, primarily those used in artificial intelligence and operations research. The methods to be covered are used to solve search, reasoning, planning and general engineering optimization problems. The graduate students who will take this course may use many of the algorithms introduced in this course in their graduate research studies. Dr. nveren 6
