Abstract

Section 3.2 introduced the principle of repeatedly modifying solutions such as to (finally) obtain better ones. In the following we will reconsider this principle in two ways: On the one hand we bring this principle in line with scientific literature, precisely speaking, with the field of local search methods. The reason for this is that the metaheuristics described in the subsequent Sections 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 are commonly assigned to this class of methods. However, it has to be pointed out that the principle of search by solution modification as presented in this book is not necessarily limited to local search only. Rather is it generic enough to consider other metaheuristics in this context, as shown for example in Section 8.2. On the other hand we identify typical patterns and processing schemes of local search methods, though on a rather abstract level by concentrating on the most general aspects.
