"Each chapter includes detailed problem formulation, practical examples, flowcharts illustrating special algorithms, questions and solved exercises which reinforce important topics. Besides being very useful to those who are interested in discrete optimizations problems and applying various metaheuristics to them, involved reader can also benefit from the easy way it presents various ideas and approaches to problem solutions. It is written in a clean and easily understandable, but still highly scientific language and it is a beneficial reading for post-docs and researchers interested in metaheuristic approaches to graph-based discrete optimization problems."
