Handbook of Heuristics
The handbook of heuristics consists of five main parts: search strategies, local search, metaheuristics, analysis and implementations, and applications. They cover from search methods and methodological aspects, such as matheuristics, the exciting field in which mathematical programming is combined with heuristics, to applications that provide the practitioner with a description of some relevant optimization issues in a number of specific application areas, such as scheduling, vehicle routing, or network optimization. The first edition of the Handbook of Heuristics was published in 2018 and contained 47 chapters. In this second edition, the authors revised 30 of them to include new developments in the area that appeared in the last few years. In particular, the reader may find 14 chapters in search strategies, including a new chapter on deep learning, 4 in local search, 14 in metaheuristics, 5 in analysis and implementations, and 24 in applications. The inclusion of 14 new chapters makes this second edition even more comprehensive, totaling 61 chapters.
Advanced Data Mining and Applications
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Advanced Data Mining and Applications, ADMA 2016, held in Gold Coast, Australia, in December 2016. The 70 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 105 submissions. The selected papers covered a wide variety of important topics in the area of data mining, including parallel and distributed data mining algorithms, mining on data streams, graph mining, spatial data mining, multimedia data mining, Web mining, the Internet of Things, health informatics, and biomedical data mining.
Emoji Pragmatics
Emoji is everywhere—on messaging apps, social networking sites, and even in offline media like billboards, films, and printed ads. While there is a substantial existing bibliography on emojis, it often fails to address their functions and interpretations in purely pragmatic terms, specifically focusing on their impact on inferential strategies for both the emojis themselves and accompanying texts. Existing books on this topic tend to focus on the semiotic aspects or visual impact of emojis, rather than their crucial role in interpreting the messaging text or social media post to which they are attached, as well as the way they communicate their own meanings when used in isolation (so-calle...
A Microhistory of Early Modern Transatlantic Migration
This microhistory of early modern transatlantic migration follows the journey of the Agata, a Dutch frigate hired by Spanish merchants in 1747 to travel between Cádiz and Veracruz. Manned by migrants from across Europe, the Agata was intercepted by British privateers on its return trip, an event that led to the preservation of most of the documents on board, including a collection of personal letters. Through a microscopical lens, this book delves into the lives of some of the migrants linked to the Agata, either as members of the crew —a ship, after all, is a moving workplace— as passengers, or as people sending letters through the ship. Their stories and anecdotes illustrate how early...
A Cultural History of Work in the Early Modern Age
Winner of the 2020 PROSE Award for Multivolume Reference/Humanities In the early modern age technological innovations were unimportant relative to political and social transformations. The size of the workforce and the number of wage dependent people increased, due in large part to population growth, but also as a result of changes in the organization of work. The diversity of workplaces in many significant economic sectors was on the rise in the 16th-century: family farming, urban crafts and trades, and large enterprises in mining, printing and shipbuilding. Moreover, the increasing influence of global commerce, as accompanied by local and regional specialization, prompted an increased reli...
