On the design of metaheuristic algorithms using fuzzy rules

We present here a co-operative multithread metaheuristic. Each thread employs a (possibly) different optimization strategy and they are controlled by a Coordinator process. A relevant point is the use of a fuzzy rule base embedded in the Coordinator to control and modify the behavior of the optimization threads. Preliminary results over the knapsack problem show the benefits of the proposal.
