METAHEURISTIC

Domain	Definition
Computing	Metaheuristic A top-level general strategy which guides other heuristics to search for feasible solutions in domains where the task is hard. Metaheuristics have been most generally applied to problems classified as NP-Hard or NP-Complete by the theory of computational complexity. However, metaheuristics would also be applied to other combinatorial optimisation problems for which it is known that a polynomial-time solution exists but is not practical. Examples of metaheuristics are Tabu Search, simulated annealing, genetic algorithms and memetic algorithms. (1997-10-30). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.
Math	A state space search that looks for better solutions by changing a current set of solutions, for instance, genetic algorithms or simulated annealing. (references)
