Fred W. Glover

Fred W. Glover (born March 8, 1937 in Kansas City, Missouri) is known for his contributions to the area of metaheuristics (a name he coined) and for launching the computer-based optimization methodology of Tabu search [1][2][3] and the associated evolutionary Scatter Search and Path Relinking algorithms.[4][5] Glover's principal areas of research include the fields of analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning and applied mathematics.[6]
