Review on biogeography-based optimization algorithm and applications
Zhang Guo-hu · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2015
Simon Dan proposes a new type of intelligence optimization algorithm based on the biogeography theory, named the Biogeography-Based Optimization algorithm(BBO), and it has good ability of convergence and stability. From the proposed background of the BBO algorithm, the basic theory, characteristics and the steps of the BBO algorithm are discussed.The research progress is summarized, including the theory analysis, the improvement of BBO algorithm, and the hybrid algorithm to other optimization algorithms. And several typical application areas of BBO algorithm are surveyed respectively including function optimization, power system, image processing, robot path planning, and scheduling optimization.The problems to be solved and future research directions of BBO algorithm are summarized.
