Co-Operation of Biology Related Algorithms

A new meta-heuristic algorithm, called Co-Operation of Biology Related Algorithms (COBRA), for solving real-parameter optimization problems is introduced and described. The algorithm is based on cooperation of biologically inspired algorithms such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Wolf Pack Search Algorithm (WPS), Firefly Algorithm (FFA), Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) and Bat Algorithm (BA). The proposed algorithm performance is evaluated on given 28 test functions and its workability and usefulness is demonstrated. Ways of algorithm improvement are discussed.
