Abstract

Meta-heuristics support managers in decision-making with robust tools that provide high-quality solutions to important applications in business, engineering, economics and science in reasonable time horizons. In this paper we give some insight into the state of the art of meta-heuristics. This primarily focuses on the significant progress which general frames within the meta-heuristics field have implied for solving combinatorial optimization problems, mainly those for planning and scheduling.
