Simulated annealing applied to a file allocation problem Hess, Monica Frederica
Abstract
The simulated annealing is applied to an instance of the file allocation problem. The implementation of the algorithm is demonstrated using this example. A study of the effects of using different penalty functions on this problem is performed. The results indicate that the choice of penalty function can have a significant impact on the performance of the algorithm. In particular, I conclude that the effect of a poor choice of penalty function can not be remedied by slower cooling.
