Parallel Search for Combinatorial Optimization : Genetic Algorithms , Simulated Annealing , Tabu Search and GRASP ?

In this paper, we review parallel search techniques for approximating the global optimal solution of combinatorial optimization problems. Recent developments on parallel implementation of genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, tabu search, and greedy randomized adaptive search procedures (GRASP) are discussed.
