Among the recent artificial intelligence techniques are those pertaining to heuristics. A heuristic technique is an approach to problem solving, that employs a practical method, which is necessarily not optimal or perfect, but in many situations sufficient. Heuristic methods can be useful, where the optimal solution in practice is impossible. The aim of the topic is to provide insight into the principles of heuristics and the most important algorithms.
