The hybrid approach of HEDE-SS is highly effective in permutative optimization. This conclusion is reached through the experimentation that has been conducted in order to validate this new approach. Optimal results have been achieved by the HEDE-SS on all but one instance of QAP both regular and irregular problem, and on that instance of chr25, HEDE-SS outperforms all other listed heuristics. In FSS problem instances, the hybrid approach is also a strong performer. It easliy improves the results of EDE and other varients of DE and PSO. Overall, hybridization can be seen as the next evolution of meta-heuristics. With improving hardware technologies, it thus becomes viable to have multiple heuristics combined for better performace. The main concept of using two unique paradigm based systems such as DE and SS is justified as both complement each other and improve the results.

Mysterious Letters is a private investigation into the unsolved mysteries surrounding the Voynich Manuscript. The manuscript is considered to be a “UFO of a book world” as it was written in an unknown language and script, in an unknown location in the 15th century. The book features interviews and essays from various experts in different fields, all pondering the question of what it means to encounter something that remains beyond our comprehension in a world where all information and knowledge seem to be readily available.
