Meta-Heuristics Algorithms: A Survey
Ibrahim Elhenawy, Nagham Ahmed · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2018
This paper is meant to present a meta-heuristic algorithms and their application to combinatorial optimization problems.This report contains an assessment of the rapid development of meta-heuristic thoughts, their convergence towards a unified fabric and the richness of potential application in optimization problems.The paper presents a brief survey of different metaheuristic algorithms aiming to solve optimization problems.The meta-heuristic is divided into four broad categories Evolutionary, Physics-based, Swarm-based and Human-based algorithms.
