Tabu Search to Solve Real-Life Combinatorial Optimization Problems: A Case of Study

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 203))

Summary

Tabu Search (TS) is a very powerful metaheuristic that has shown its efficiency when solving various combinatorial optimization problems, ranging from academic to real-life ones. The idea behind TS is to include during the search a guidance based on adaptive memory and learning. We present in this paper a short overview on Tabu Search and detail its application to solve successfully a real-life optimization problem under constraints.
