This book presents state of the art contributions to Simulated Annealing (SA), a well-known probabilistic meta-heuristic. It contains nine chapters explaining SA key concepts, constraint optimization, hybrid SA combined with other techniques and applications including aircraft design, molecule reconstruction, spacecraft trajectory, thermodynamics, truck scheduling and marine protected design scenarios.
