Foil 74 Conclusions on Physical Optimization for Track Finding

From Physical Optimization and Physical Computation CPSP713 Case studies in Computational Science -- Spring Semester 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox
So not only do different problems need different methods but in a fixed problem - varying parameter values causes best method to change
Tracking is like a multiple TSP with each track like a salesman
The quality of solution needed depends on quality of data. Also as time advances, one can get new information and physical computation naturally allows time dependent data
E.g. in related navigation problems, you may start with some information about terrain and update it with new sensory data
