Hybrid Metaheuristics - 8th International Workshop, HM 2013

The International Workshop on Hybrid Metaheuristics (HM) pursues the direction of combining application-oriented and fundamental research. This is demonstrated by the papers in the proceedings of this eighth edition of HM. The contributions selected for this volume represent an important sample of current research in hybrid metaheuristics. It is worth emphasizing that the selected papers cover both theoretical and experimental results, including new paradigmatic hybrid solvers, and automatic design approaches as well as applications to logistics and public transport
