A Metaheuristic Approach to Solving Sophisticated, Real-World Optimization Problems
Optimization of complex systems has evolved in recent years, with much more robust, efficient, and powerful techniques and solutions. Leveraging research from some of the top experts in the field, including Dr. Fred Glover, Dr. Manuel Laguna, and Professor Rafael Marti, this paper discusses the mathematical programming and metaheuristic technologies embedded in OptQuest, OptTek’s commercial software for the optimization of complex system models — such as simulation and AI/ML models. An introduction to black box optimization and metaheuristics is provided along with OptQuest systems features and applications in stochastic, nonlinear and combinatorial optimization. The paper also includes an appendix with more than 70 journal articles that reference OptQuest use.

Tabu Search
Tabu Search, also called Adaptive Memory Programming, is a method for solving challenging optimization problems in the fields of business, engineering, economics and science. Everyday examples include practical applications in resource management, financial and investment planning, healthcare systems, energy and environmental policy, pattern classification, biotechnology and a host of other areas. Tabu search has emerged as one of the leading technologies for handling real-world problems that have proved difficult or impossible to solve with classical procedures.
