Hello All:

I very new to OptaPlanner. I was doing some search on how to implement Tabu Search Algorithm in Java and came across this software. I was wondering if anybody has any idea if OptaPlanner has any simple example on Tabu Search which could be easy to follow. Looks like I can implement many different types of optimization techniques (such as simulated Annealing, Evolutionary Algorithm, etc).

Any help will be greatly appreciated as I have been struggle to implement Tabu Search and there are no good open source java framework available on it.

Thanks,

Vikas

In docs, see section "Tabu Search" (it explains it with a nice diagram based, using the n queens example).
In source code, see AccepterConfig.java, EntityTabuAccepter.java, etc.

With kind regards,

Hello Geoffrey,

Thanks for the info. Where can I find the source code for the project. I wish to see the details of EntityTabuAccepter.java to under it better. Since it's open source project, I thought we can have access to the source code. I did go to http://www.optaplanner.org/code/sourceCode.html but couldn't find the link to the source code. 

Thanks, I really appreciate your help...

Hello Geoffrey,

I was able to download Git and follow the instruction as mentioned at http://www.optaplanner.org/code/sourceCode.html.

I use Eclipse for programming my Java projects. How can I view the source code in Eclipse? I am kind of new to this and excited to explore.

Thanks,

Vikas
