[DMANET] Book announcement: "Optimization in computer engineering -- Theory and applications"

Book announcement: "Optimization in computer engineering -- Theory and
applications"

http://www.scirp.org/book/DetailedInforOfABook.aspx?bookID=486&bookTypeID=2

The aim of this book is to provide an overview of classic as well as
new research results on optimization problems and algorithms. Beside
the theoretical basis, the book contains a number of chapters
describing the application of the theory in practice, that is, reports
on successfully solving real-world engineering challenges by means of
optimization algorithms. These case studies are collected from a wide
range of application domains within computer engineering. The
diversity of the presented approaches offers a number of practical
tips and insights into the practical application of optimization
algorithms, highlighting real-world challenges and solutions.
Researchers, practitioners and graduate students will find the book
equally useful.
