Fred W. Glover

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fred William Glover (born May 8, 1937 in Kansas City ) is an American mathematician who deals with mathematical optimization and artificial intelligence (AI).

Glover studied at the University of Missouri in Kansas City with a bachelor's degree in 1960 and received his doctorate in 1965 with Gerald Luther Thompson at Carnegie Mellon University (New methods for integer programming). He was then a Miller Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley , where he was an assistant professor from 19665/66 and an associate professor at the University of Texas at Austin from 1966 to 1969 . 1969/70 he was a professor at the University of Minnesota and from 1970 at the University of Colorado in Boulder. In 2005 he became a Distinguished Professor . From 1992 he was chief technology officer of the software company OptTek Systems.

He developed optimization methods for networks and heuristic search methods that combine optimization (mathematical programming) and AI, including the development of software and applications in industry and government. In combinatorial optimization, he developed the taboo search algorithm . He introduced the term metaheuristics .

In 1998 he received the John von Neumann Theory Prize and in 2010 the INFORMS Impact Prize . He is a Fellow of the National Academy of Engineering (2002), the IEEE, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science .
