ABSTRACT

Annealing refers to the cooling process which will happen when substances which are heated to a high energy level, like molten metals, are slowly cooled from a liquid state to a solid state. The process was described mathematically by Metropolis, Rosenbluth and Teller and making it possible for the SA algorithm to be of great use in many fields (V. FABIAN, 1997).
