Abstract
This paper is a tutorial introduction to three recent yet widely used general heuristics: Simulated Annealing, Tabu Search, and Genetic Algo rithms. A relatively precise description and an example of application are provided for each of the methods, as well as a tentative evaluati on and comparison from a pragmatic point of view.
