This article concerns the review of a special class of swarm intelligence based algorithms for solving optimization problems and these algorithms can be referred to as social algor…
New directional bat algorithm for continuous optimization problems
Asma Chakri, Rabia Khelif, Mohamed Benouaret +1
Bat algorithm (BA) is a recent optimization algorithm based on swarm intelligence and inspiration from the echolocation behavior of bats. One of the issues in the standard bat algo…
Reliability based-design optimization using the directional bat algorithm
Asma Chakri, Xin-She Yang, Rabia Khelif +1
Reliability based design optimization (RBDO) problems are important in engineering applications, but it is challenging to solve such problems. In this study, a new resolution metho…
Swarm robotics in wireless distributed protocol design for coordinating robots involved in cooperative tasks
F. De Rango, N. Palmieri, X. S. Yang +1
