Multi-objective Tabu Search/Evidence
Method evidence record

Multi-objective Tabu Search

Multi-objective Tabu Search (MOTS) is a metaheuristic algorithm that extends the classic Tabu Search framework to simultaneously optimize two or more conflicting objective functions. Instead of a single optimum, it seeks to approximate the Pareto front — the set of solutions where no objective can be improved without worsening another — making it suitable for complex combinatorial and continuous optimization problems in engineering, logistics, and operations research.
