The performance of an algorithm used depends on the GNA. This book
focuses on the comparison of optimizers, it defines a stress-outcome
approach which can be derived all the classic criteria (median, average,
etc.) and other more sophisticated. Source-codes used for the examples
are also presented, this allows a reflection on the "superfluous
chance," succinctly explaining why and how the stochastic aspect of
optimization could be avoided in some cases.
