One of the most important stages in many areas of engineering and applied sciences is modeling and the use of optimization techniques to increase the quality and performance of products or processes. Financial market operations, radiation therapy technologies, protein folding determination, material sciences, and power system facilities design: developments in these disparate scientific and technological areas, as well as many others, rely also on the help of some quiet, hidden workers called optimization methods. Beyond what seems to be just a machine-like application of some algorithm, there exists a world of challenges and developments. Generally in literature the term optimization is related to (the output of) a mathematical technique or algorithm used to identify the extreme value of an arbitrary objective function through the manipulation of a known set of variables and subject to a set of constraints. More technically, a maximization problem with an explicit objective can in general be expressed in the following mathematical form: Finding the value arg max x∈H f (x),
