Practical elements of Scatter Search and Path Relinking are illustrated by seven recent applications. The computational outcomes, based on comparative tests involving real world and experimental benchmark problems, demonstrate that these methods provide useful alternatives to more established search procedures. The designs in these applications are straightforward, and can be readily adapted to other optimization problems of varied structures.
