This the home of the nascent Stochastic Local Search (SLS) Web Site, a repository for information on and related to SLS algorithms, targeted towards academic and industry researchers, students and practitioners.

We expect to fill this site with more content over the next few weeks and months. If you would like to contribute (for example, links to relevant events, books, SLS algorithm implementations, etc.), please contact Holger or Thomas.

In the meanwhile, some links (stay tuned for more):
