Abstract: The lecture will cover the tabu search (TS), its generic algorithms, and a brief look at its variations. The adaptive tabu search (ATS) with the following topics will be covered: adaptive mechanisms, algorithms, convergence property, and search performance. After a discussion on parallel taxonomy, the management agent (MA) will be presented. The lecture will cover the MA(ATS), its convergence, and search performance subject to symmetrical and asymmetrical problems. Real-world applications of the algorithms will be discussed.

Brief Biography of the Speaker: Sarawut Sujitjorn was born in Bangkok, Thailand, in 1961. He received his B.Sc. (Hons) in electrical engineering from the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) Academy in 1984, and Ph.D. in electronic and electrical engineering from the University of Birmingham, UK, in 1987.
