In evolutionary algorithms, two main abilities maintained which are Exploration and Exploitation.
In Exploration the algorithm searching for new solutions in new regions, while Exploitation means using the already existing solution and make refinements to it so its fitness will improve.
In Simulated Annealing, I don't understand when the Exploration and the Exploitation happen.
For example in Genetic algorithm: the Exploration is happened in the Crossover and Mutation steps, while the selection in Exploitation step.
