ABSTRACT

In this paper, we review parallel search techniques for approximating the global optimal solution of combinatorial optimization problems. Recent developments on parallel implementation of genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, tabu search, and greedy randomized adaptive
search procedures (GRASP) are discussed.
