Bio-inspired optimization techniques: a critical comparative study

What is it about?

Despite insistent and breathtaking advances in computing, we continue to be humbled by the variety and adaptability of the natural world around us. Bio-inspired optimization is a term that covers a wide variety of computational approaches that are based on the principles of biological systems. This motivates the application of biology to optimization problems. Biologically inspired computing and optimization is a major subset of natural computation. This paper presents a critical survey of bio-inspired optimization techniques. There are many legacy optimization techniques available. This survey explains almost all important bio-inspired optimization techniques based on their development, intention, performance and application. It provides insight into determining the direction of future optimization techniques research.
