+  abstract     = {Metaheuristic algorithms have become one of the preferred
+                  approaches for solving optimization problems. Finding the
+                  best metaheuristic for a given problem is often difficult due
+                  to the large number of available approaches and possible
+                  algorithmic designs. Moreover, high-performing metaheuristics
+                  often combine general-purpose and problem-specific
+                  algorithmic components. We propose here an approach for
+                  automatically designing metaheuristics using a flexible
+                  framework of algorithmic components, from which algorithms
+                  are instantiated and evaluated by an automatic configuration
+                  method. The rules for composing algorithmic components are
+                  defined implicitly by the properties of each algorithmic
+                  component, in contrast to previous proposals, which require a
+                  handwritten algorithmic template or grammar. As a result,
+                  extending our framework with additional components, even
+                  problem-specific or user-defined ones, automatically updates
+                  the design space. Furthermore, since the generated algorithms
+                  are made up of components, they can be easily interpreted. We
+                  provide an implementation of our proposal and demonstrate its
+                  benefits by outperforming previous research in three distinct
+                  problems from completely different families: a facility
+                  layout problem, a vehicle routing problem and a clustering
+                  problem.},
