1. Introduction Optimization is the process of finding the best combination of variables or parameters that fulfill the constraints to achieve the objective function whether for minimization or maximization purposes. The objective function is normally formulated based on applications or problems to be solved and it can be in terms of cost, efficiency, profits etc. […]

Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA): Inspired from Social foraging behavior of Escherichia coli
1. Introduction Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA), proposed by Passino (2002), is a new comer to the family of nature-inspired optimization algorithms. Natural selection tends to eliminate animals with poor “foraging strategies” (methods for locating, handling, and ingesting food) and favor the propagation of genes of those animals that have successful foraging strategies since […]
