Σύνοψη	Agent-Based Tabu Search (ABTS) embeds the tabu search metaheuristic inside a multi-agent framework where autonomous agents each run independent or cooperating tabu search threads, sharing promising solutions to escape local optima and collectively explore large combinatorial or continuous search spaces more effectively than a single-thread implementation.	Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a computational simulation method, formalized through the work of Thomas Schelling and Robert Axelrod in the 1970s–1990s, that simulates the behavior of complex systems by specifying and running autonomous agents — individuals, firms, cells, or any bounded entity — whose local interactions with each other and with their environment collectively produce global, system-level patterns that could not be predicted from any single agent's rules alone.
