Water Cycle Algorithm (WCA)
Water Cycle Algorithm (WCA) as an optimization method is introduced by Eskandar et al. (2012). The fundamental concepts and ideas which underlie the WCA is inspired by nature and based on the observation of water cycle process and how rivers and streams flow to the sea in the real world. A comparative study has been carried […]
Neural Network Algorithm (NNA)
A new metaheuristic optimization algorithm, inspired by biological nervous systems and artificial neural networks (ANNs) is proposed for solving complex optimization problems. The proposed method, named as Neural Network Algorithm (NNA), is developed based on the unique structure of ANNs. The NNA benefits from complicated structure of the ANNs and its operators in order to […]
