The DNA fragment assembly is an important phase required to obtain complete genomes. Optimization using nature inspired algorithms has been proposed by several authors. We present another nature inspired algorithm based on Particle Swarm Optimization and Differential Evolution. These algorithms are compared using a set of common benchmarks and show that our proposed algorithm has some advantage...

With the hailing winds of development, humans are still can’t fully act individually, the dependency over the nature is indispensable. In this paper, a hybrid nature inspired based algorithm named Cuckoo search algorithm with mutation (CSAM) has been used to solve the channel–allocation problem presents in optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems. The channels can be allocated by ...

One of the most important artificial immune algorithms is negative selection algorithm, which is an anomaly detection and pattern recognition technique; however, recent research has shown the successful application of this algorithm in data classification. Most of the negative selection methods consider deterministic boundaries to distinguish between self and non-self-spaces. In this paper, two...

Meta-heuristic algorithms inspired by the natural processes are part of the optimization algorithms that they have been considered in recent years, such as genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, ant colony optimization, Firefly algorithm. Recently, a new kind of evolutionary algorithm has been proposed that it is inspired by the human sociopolitical evolution process. This new algorith...

Nature-inspired algorithms have gained immense popularity in recent years to tackle hard real world (NP hard and NP complete) problems and solve complex optimization functions whose actual solution doesn't exist. The paper presents a comprehensive review of 12 nature inspired algorithms. This study provides the researchers with a single platform to analyze the conventional and contemporary...
