Symbiotic tabu search

Recombination in the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is supposed to extract the component characteristics from two parents and reassemble them in different combinations hopefully producing an offspring that has the good characteristics of both parents. Symbiotic Combination is formerly introduced as an alternative for sexual recombination operator to overcome the need of explicit design of recombination operators in GA all. This paper presents an optimization algorithm based on using this operator in Tabu Search. The algorithm is benchmarked on two problem sets and is compared with standard genetic algorithm and symbiotic evolutionary adaptation model, showing success rates higher than both cited algorithms.
