Abstract

A template is presented that captures a vast majority of the local search algorithms proposed in the literature, including iterative improvement, simulated annealing, threshold accepting, tabu search and genetic algorithms. The template leads to a classification of existing local search algorithms and offers the possibility to fit in new types of local search approaches.
