How to Cite the Book

Sean Luke, 2013, Essentials of Metaheuristics, Lulu, second edition, available for free at http://cs.gmu.edu/~sean/book/metaheuristics/

Please always include the URL—it's the only unique identifier to the text! Note the lack of edition number: I expect these to change very rapidly, and Google Scholar and Citeseer both have trouble with fast-changing editions. If you prefer BibTeX: @Book{ Luke2013Metaheuristics, author = { Sean Luke }, title = { Essentials of Metaheuristics }, edition = { second }, year = { 2013 }, publisher = { Lulu }, note = { Available for free at http://cs.gmu.edu/$\sim$sean/book/metaheuristics/ } }
