Authors:Tuson,AL
Date:Jan 1998
Presented:Accepted for the Keynote Papers of the 10th Young OR Conference
Keywords:
Abstract:This paper gives an overview of a class of optimisation techniques commonly known as "neighbourhood search", of which examples include simulated annealing, tabu search and evolutionary algorithms. This overview will be followed by a discussion of an approach to the design of these techniques, and how domain knowledge can be exploited. References for further reading will be provided.
