Multi-Objective Simulated Annealing (MOSA)
Multi-Objective Simulated Annealing (MOSA) extends the classical simulated annealing metaheuristic to problems with two or more conflicting objective functions. Instead of converging to a single optimum, MOSA explores the solution space stochastically and maintains an archive of non-dominated (Pareto-optimal) solutions, offering decision-makers a diverse trade-off front rather than one prescribed answer.
