Initial temperature for simulated annealing

Has anyone implemented the algorithm for computing the initial temperature to use in simulated annealing as detailed in the paper,

Ben-Ameur, Walid. "Computing the initial temperature of simulated annealing." Computational Optimization and Applications 29, no. 3 (2004): 369-385.

Thanks, Ed Hall

PS. attaching the referenced paper. If no one else has coded it, I'll do it myself.

Dear Ed,

Have you managed the algorithm implementation? If yes, could you share it with me?

Thanks, Dávid

Sorry David, but no, I never went through with the implementation.
