Both SA and TA should have adequate characteristics to explore efficiently the space of solutions. The process to determine these characteristics is known as parameter tuning problem. There is a strong interest in developing techniques to adjust parameters correctly, since the heuristic algorithms have a great applicability in industrial problems. Given the quantitative nature of multiple parameters it is possible to propose the selection of the best parameters of a heuristic as a combinatorial optimization problem. In this paper, a new tuning method based on the proportional controller derived from classical control theory for tuning the cooling scheme in real time is presented. Experimentation shows that this method has a better performance than the classical one.</p> ER -
