Abstract

In many applications, the complexity and nonlinearity of the problems require novel and alternative approaches to problem solving. In recent years, nature-inspired algorithms, especially those based on swarm intelligence, have become popular, due to the simplicity and flexibility of such algorithms. Here, we review briefly some recent algorithms and then outline the self-tuning framework for parameter tuning. We also discuss some convergence properties of the cuckoo search and the bat algorithm. Finally, we present some open problems as further research topics.
