Definition von metaheuristic im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
An experimental heuristic method for solving a general class of computational problems by combining user procedures in the hope of obtaining a more efficient or robust procedure
A metaheuristic is a heuristic method for solving a very general class of computational problems by combining user given black-box procedures — usually heuristics themselves — in a hopefully efficient way. The name combines the Greek prefix "meta" ("beyond", here in the sense of "higher level") and "heuristic" (from "to find")
This is a general framework for heuristics in solving hard problems The idea of ``meta'' is that of level An analogy is the use of a meta-language to explain a language For computer languages, we use symbols, like brackets, in the meta-language to denote properties of the language being described, such as parameters that are optional Examples of metaheuristics are: Ant Colony Optimization Genetic Algorithms Memetic Algorithms Neural Networks Scatter Search Simulated Annealing Tabu Search Target Analysis
