The earliest idea of Simulated Annealing (SA) was put forward by N. Metropolis [1] and others in 1953. In 1983, S. Kirkpatrick successfully introduced the idea of annealing to the field of combinatorial optimization. It is a stochastic optimization algorithm based on the Monte-Carlo iterative solution strategy. The starting point is based on the similarity between the annealing process of solid matter in physics and the general combinatorial optimization problem.
