Summary

Solving some optimization problems (especially NP-hard problems) by traditional algorithmic approaches can be difficult in an efficient way or even impossible in practice. However, by applying bio-inspired algorithms, it is possible to solve these optimization problems with high-quality solutions and acceptable time. Bio-inspired algorithms is an emerging paradigm which is based on the principles of the biological evolution of nature to develop novel techniques in diverse fields including computer sciences and engineering. 


Finding the optimal solution to an optimization problem may not be easy. Moreover, which bio-inspired algorithm should be chosen to solve a specific optimization problem must also depend on the characteristics of the problem itself. How to quickly find an acceptable solution or generate the best solution poses important challenges to the design, analysis and application of bio-inspired algorithms.


This special issue intends to collect the advanced high-quality original papers and review articles related to novel bio-inspired algorithms with applications. We also welcome articles focusing on the analysis and theory of hybrid bio-inspired optimization algorithms, as well as performance comparison between different bio-inspired algorithms.


Topics include but are not limited to the following:

· Bio-inspired algorithms, such as genetic algorithms, evolutionary algorithms, particle swarm optimization, ant colony optimization, plant-based algorithms, and differential evolution

· Analysis and comparison of existing bio-inspired algorithms

· Theoretical analyses of bio-inspired algorithms

· New applications of bio-inspired algorithms

· Brain-inspired algorithms

· Hybrid bio-inspired algorithms

· Parallel and distributed bio-inspired algorithms

    Abstract In this study, a completely different approach to optimization is introduced through the development of a novel metaheuristic algorithm called the Barber Optimization Algorithm (BaOA). Inspired by the human interactions between barbers and customers, BaOA captures two key processes: the customer’s selection of a hairstyle and the detailed refinement during the haircut. These processes are translated into a mathematical framework that forms the foundation of BaOA, consisting of two critical phases: exploration, representing the creative selection process, and exploitation, which focuses on refining details for optimization. The performance of BaOA is evaluated using 52 standard… More >
