| Abstract | This tutorial will discuss state-of-the-art techniques for automating the design of heuristic search methods, in order to remove or reduce the need for a human expert in the process of designing an effective algorithm to solve a search problem. Using machine learning or meta-level search, several approaches have been proposed in computer science, artificial intelligence and operational research. The aim is to develop methodologies which can adapt to different environments without manually having to customise the search, or its parameters, for each particular problem domain. This can be seen as one of the drawbacks of many current metaheuristic and evolutionary implementations, which tend to have to be customised for a particular class of problems or even specific problem instances. We have identified two main types of approaches to this challenge: heuristic selection, and heuristic generation. In heuristic selection the idea is to automatically combine fixed pre-existing simple heuristics or neighbourhood structures to solve the problem at hand; whereas in heuristic generation the idea is to automatically create new heuristics (or heuristic components) suited to a given problem or class of problems. This latter approach is typically achieved by combining, through the use of genetic programming for example, components or building-blocks of human designed heuristics. This tutorial will go over the intellectual roots and origins of both automated heuristic selection and generation, before discussing work carried out to date in these two directions and then focusing on some observations and promising research directions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
