The article presents the performance evaluation of the management agent (MA) containing the adaptive tabu search (ATS) as its search core. In particular, asymmetrical surface optimization problems have been considered. It has been found that symmetrical property of the problems has a significant effect on search performance of the ATS, but MA(ATS). As an average, the MA(ATS) is about 2 times faster than the ATS under both symmetrical and asymmetrical problems. The article also gives reviews on the ATS and the MA(ATS) algorithms. An application on controller design for a coupled system with three-degree-of-freedom is also elaborated.
