Tabu search - a guided tour

Magnus Hindsberger, Victor Valqui Vidal

AbstractThe main purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the
ideas behind Tabu Search - one of the most popular metaheuristic
appoaches. For the sake of concreteness a simple example of the
traveling salesman problem will be used in the discussion to
illustrate the process of designing a Tabu Search algorithm. In
addition, some extensions will be presented. Finally, applications
will also be provided as well as references to more specialized
publications.
