Stochastic Algorithms Foundations and Applications Second International Symposium, Saga 2003, Hatfield, Uk, September 22-23, 2003 Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Stochastic Algorithms: Foundations and Applications, SAGA 2003, held in Hatfield, UK in September 2003. The 12 revised full papers presented together with three invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. Among the topics addressed are ant colony optimization, randomized algorithms for the intersection problem, local search for constraint satisfaction problems, randomized local search and combinatorial optimization, simulated annealing, probabilistic global search, network communication complexity, open shop scheduling, aircraft routing, traffic control, randomized straight-line programs, and stochastic automata and probabilistic transformations.Albrecht, A. is the author of 'Stochastic Algorithms Foundations and Applications Second International Symposium, Saga 2003, Hatfield, Uk, September 22-23, 2003 Proceedings', published 2003 under ISBN 9783540201038 and ISBN 3540201033.
