Metaheuristic algorithms are widely used for optimization in both research and the industrial community simplicity, flexibility, robustness. However, multi-modal is a difficult task, even metaheuristic algorithms. Two important issues that need to be handled solving problems (a) categorize multiple local/global optima (b) uphold these till ending. Besides, robust local search ability also prere...

Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) is a nature-inspired swarm intelligence algorithm that mimics the hunting behavior of grey wolves. GWO, in its basic form, real coded needs modifications to deal with binary optimization problems. In this paper, previous work on binarization GWO are reviewed, and classified respect their encoding scheme, updating strategy, transfer function. Then, we propose novel (nam...

Consider an increasingly growing field of research, Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is to form a direct channel communication between computer and the brain. However, extracting features random time-varying EEG signals their classification major challenge that faces current BCI. This paper proposes modified grey wolf optimizer (MGWO) can select optimal channels be used in (BCIs), way identifies ...

In this paper, the problem of population districting in the health system of South Khorasan province has been investigated in the form of an optimization problem. Now that the districting problem is considered as a strategic matter, it is vital to obtain efficient solutions in order to implement in the system. Therefore in this study two meta-heuristic algorithms, Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) and G...
