Tabu search: Improved solution alternatives

Conference ·
OSTI ID:36064

Tabu search has achieved widespread successes in solving practical optimization problems. Applications are rapidly growing in areas such as resource management, process design, logistics, technology planning, and general combinatorial optimization. Hybrids with other procedures, both heuristic and algorithmic, have also produced productive results. We examine some of the principal features of tabu search that are most responsible for its successes, and that offer a basis for improved solution methods in the future.
