KaHiP is a family of high quality graph partitioning programs. It contains various graph partitioning algorithms that can be configured to either achieve the best known partitions for many standard benchmark instances or to be a good tradeoff between partition quality and running time. Since the last major release we added: - ParHIP: distributed memory parallel partitioning techniques designed to partition hierarchically structured networks such as web graphs or social networks. - Mapping Algorithms: new algorithms to map the blocks of a partition onto a specified processor network in order to minimize overall communication time. The software is released under the GPL 2.0 License. - open source implementation/website: http://algo2.iti.kit.edu/kahip - github: https://github.com/schulzchristian/KaHIP We are glad for any comments and error reports (or even bug fixes) that you send us.

It gives a comprehensive background on metaheuristic applications, focusing on main engineering sectors such as energy, process, and materials. It discusses topics such as algorithmic enhancements and performance measurement approaches, and provides insights into the implementation of metaheuristic strategies to multi-objective optimization problems. With this book, readers can learn to solve real-world engineering optimization problems effectively using the appropriate techniques from emerging fields including evolutionary and swarm intelligence, mathematical programming, and multi-objective optimization. The ten chapters of this book are divided into three parts. The first part discusses three industrial applications in the energy sector. The second focusses on process optimization and considers three engineering applications: optimization of a three-phase separator, process plant, and a pre-treatment process. The third and final part of this book covers industrial applications in material engineering, with a particular focus on sand mould-systems. It also includes discussions on the potential improvement of algorithmic characteristics via strategic algorithmic enhancements. This book helps fill the existing gap in literature on the implementation of metaheuristics in engineering applications and real-world engineering systems. It will be an important resource for engineers and decision-makers selecting and implementing metaheuristics to solve specific engineering problems.
