Move acceptance in local search metaheuristics for cross-domain search

作者:

Highlights:

• Classification of local search metaheuristics based on their move acceptance methods.

• A concise overview of local search metaheuristics in relevant classes.

• Cross-domain performance comparison of 8 local search metaheuristics from each class.

• Simulated annealing (SA) has the best performance over 45 instances from 9 domains.

• Parameters of SA needs re-tuning for each domain to achieve this performance.
