Description
Many problems arising in several and different areas of human knowledge share the characteristic of being intractable in real cases. The relevance of the solution of these problems, linked to their domain of action, has given birth to many frameworks of algorithms for solving them. Traditional solution paradigms are represented by exact and heuristic algorithms. In order to overcome limitations of both approaches and obtain better performances, tailored combinations of exact and heuristic methods have been studied, giving birth to a new paradigm for solving hard combinatorial optimization
problems, constituted by model-based metaheuristics. In the present thesis, we deepen the issue of model-based metaheuristics, and present some methods, belonging to this class, applied to the solution of combinatorial
optimization problems.
