A new meta-heuristic algorithm, called CoOperation of Biology Related Algorithms (COBRA), for solving real-parameter optimization problems is introduced and described. The algorithm is based on cooperation of biologically inspired algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Wolf Pack Search Algorithm (WPS), Firefly Algorithm (FFA), Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) and Bat Algorithm (BA). The proposed algorithm performance is evaluated on given 28 test functions and its workability and usefulness is demonstrated. Ways of algorithm improvement are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
