8. Credits

8.1 Gunter Dueck

GDA has been developed by Gunter Dueck. All credits for this marvellous optmization algorithm go to him. The implementation in KTsp is solely mine. I have to take all blames for faults.

8.2 Makoto Matsumoto and Takuiji Nishimimura

KTsp uses its own random number generator, implemented in the class Random. It is based on Makoto Matsumoto's and Takuiki Nishimimura's "mt19937". They developed the algorithm and they earn all credits for it. The C++ implementation is mine (though based on the original C implementation). I am to blame for bugs caused by my implementation.

8.3 All KDE developers

It would have been impossible to develop KTsp in such a short period of time without the countless KDE developers from all over the world who made KDE the most stable and usable desktop for UNIX and Linux available.

8.4 Troll Tech

Last but not least, my heartfelt thanks to the Trolls who provided us with their high quality library Qt. Without it, KDE had not been able to become the standard desktop for Linux.
