Metaheuristics subsume heuristic methods that are defined in a generic way with the key ideas independent from problem specific aspects. Accordingly, a nice way for problem solving would be to select and apply some appropriate method from a heuristics stockroom that provides readyto-use software components incorporating respective methods. Thus, we are faced with the task to build reusable soft'ware components. In this paper we describe an object-oriented framework for heuristic search and discuss some experiences concerning the application of this framework.

In this paper we discuss ways of parallelizing methods of perturbation analysis. Application of the perturbation method of multiple scales to vibration problems in engineering is considered, and parallel implementation of this method on a multi-processor computer using the Mathematica Parallel Compu
