On local search based heuristics for optimization problems

When comparing various metaheuristics, even asking a fair and formally consis-tent question is often difficult. Having this in mind, we provide some further evidence that simple local search heuristics may be at least a very competitive choice. On a dataset from an industrial application, i.e., cons...
