This first chapter intends to review and analyze the powerful new Harmony Search (HS) algorithm in the context of metaheuristic algorithms. We will first outline the fundamental steps of HS, and show how it works. We then try to identify the characteristics of metaheuristics and analyze why HS is a good metaheuristic algorithm. We then review briefly other popular metaheuristics such as particle swarm optimization so as to find their similarities and differences with HS. Finally, we will discuss the ways to improve and develop new variants of HS, and make suggestions for further research including open questions.
