I want to use the Simulated Annealing method for function optimization.
 I am using S+ with windows, but I don't know any function or library
that uses this method. The  "optim" funtion running with R does.
Is there any equivalent for S+ ? Is there some code available somewhere
?


Have you considered porting the simulated annealing part of 'optim' to
work with S-Plus? After all it's open source.
