description

The Minimal Consistent Subset Selection (MCSS) problem is a discrete optimization problem whose resolution for large scale instances requires a prohibitive processing time. Prior algorithms addressing this problem are presented. Randomization and approximation techniques are suitable to face the problem, then random search and meta-heuristics are proposed and consequently Tabu Search strategies are applied and evaluated. Parallel computing helps to reduce processing time and/or produce better results; different approaches for designing parallel tabu search are analyzed.
