The paper you seem to require is :

Threshold Accepting ......
by Dueck G. and Scheuer T. (1990) Journal of Computational Physics 90 p 161-175

The English equivalent to your "sinflood algorithm" is called the great
deluge algorithm and is refereed to I think in that paper or another of
Dueck's papers in the same journal.
