When applying a local search algorithm to solve an optimization algorithm, the implementation of the algorithm is basic but important.

To come up with a successful implementation, the following step-by-step procedure provides a useful framework for the newcomers to get started.

1. Read introductory papers

First, read several introductory papers to gain some knowledge of the concepts and procedures of the algorithm.

The papers that have higher citations may be good choices. And the papers in which the algorithm was first presented are also worth reading.
