There is increasing need to solve large-scale complex optimization problems in a wide variety of science and engineering applications, including designing telecommunication networks for multimedia transmission, planning and scheduling problems in manufacturing and military operations, or designing nanoscale devices and systems. Advances in technology and information systems have made such optimization problems more and more complicated in terms of size and uncertainty. Nested Partitions Method, Theory and Applications provides a cutting-edge research tool to use for large-scale, complex systems optimization. Nested Partitions (NP) framework combines well-known optimization techniques with problem-specific local search heuristics for increased effectiveness Emphasizes the solution of real-world problems in a broad range of areas, from telecommunications to manufacturing and military operations and design of nanoscale systems INDICE: Introduction.- Nested partitions for deterministic optimization.- Nested partitions for stochastic optimization.- Development of stopping rules.- Hybrid nested partitions algorithms.- Applications.- Product design.- Bufferallocation.- Flexible resource scheduling.- Data mining.- Supply chain network design.- References.- Index.
