Abstract:This report describes an implementation of a range of modern combinatorial optimisation techniques. Called "extended neighbourhood search" or "meta-heuristic" techniques, they are extensions of hillclimbing, which attempt to overcome a common problem with hillclimbers - their tendency to get stuck in local optima. Also included in this report are: instructions on compilation and use, a review of these techniques, and a review of the built-in test problems.
