摘要

Metaheuristics are often used to find solutions for optimization problems that are hard to solve exactly. A metaheuristic manipulates abstract solutions with the help of an operator to modify them in order to find the best solutions. We show that the efficiency of a solution encoding and its operator can vary with different metaheuristics and even with a metaheuristics according to different parameters. In this paper, we particularly compare tabu search with genetic algorithms. However, our results show that some encoding/operator pairs seems to have a consistent good behavior with these two metaheuristics.
