[comp.ai.neural-nets] simulated annealing

   I am looking for simple stopping criteria for the termination of
   annealing. One of them is to terminate annealing when cost
   improvement seen across "three" successive temperatures is "sufficiently"
   small. Are there any bounds, based I guess more on experience,
   to these parameters (how many succesive temperatures do I have to
   check? how small is small?).

   Thank you

 I would like to know how I can incorporate  memory in my Simulated
 Annealing. I would like to be able to "teach" my system whether there
 exist "good" or "bad" moves and therfore exclude future use of the bad
 ones. I guess that this would save a lot of time.
 I would appreciate any help,
 thank you
