Biogeography-based Optimization (BBO) is a global optimization algorithm based on population, governed by mathematics of biogeography, and dealing with geographical distribution of biological organisms. The BBO algorithm was used in the present study to provide a solution for the N-queens problem. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been evaluated in terms of the quality of the obtain...

Aim The world-wide leaf economic spectrum (LES) describes tight coordination of leaf traits across global floras, reported to date as being largely independent of phylogeny and biogeography. Here, we present and test an alternative, historical perspective that predicts that biogeography places significant constraints on global trait evolution. These hypothesized constraints could lead to import...

Biogeography is the study of the geographical distribution of biological organisms. BBO is basically a optimization techniques it does not involve reproduction or the generation of “children”. This paper proposes a Biogeography Based optimization approach for automatically grouping the pixels of an image into different homogeneous regions. From many years Image segmentation are done with many t...

Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a population-based evolutionary algorithm (EA) that is based on the mathematics of biogeography. Biogeography is the study of the geographical distribution of biological organisms. We present a simplified version of BBO and perform an approximate analysis of the BBO population using probability theory. Our analysis provides approximate values for the exp...

The variation of life has predominantly been studied on land and in water, but this focus is changing. There is a resurging interest in the distribution of life in the atmosphere and the processes that underlie patterns in this distribution. Here, we review our current state of knowledge about the biodiversity and biogeography of the atmosphere, with an emphasis on micro-organisms, the numerica...

Biogeography is a strange discipline. In general, there are no institutes of biogeography; there are no departments of it. There are no professional biogeographers no professors of it, no curators of it. It seems to have few traditions. It seems to have few authoritative spokesmen. It is my belief, however, that there is a coherent history of the discipline. There are some general ideas some pr...

Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is a new evolutionary algorithm. The major problem of basic BBO is that its migration operator is rotationally variant, which leaves BBO performing poorly in non-separable problems. To overcome this drawback of BBO, in this paper, we propose the covariance matrix based migration (CMM) to relieve BBO’s dependence upon the coordinate system so that BBO’s rota...

Biogeography based optimization (BBO) is a novel stochastic force based on the science of biogeography. Biogeography is the schoolwork of geographical allotment of biological organisms. BBO make use of migration operator to share information between the problem solutions. The problem solutions are called as habitats and sharing of features is called migration. In this paper, BBO algorithm is de...

This research involves the development of an engineering test for a newly-developed evolutionary algorithm called biogeography-based optimization (BBO), and also involves the development of a distributed implementation of BBO. The BBO algorithm is based on mathematical models of biogeography, which describe the migration of species between habitats. BBO is the adaptation of the theory of biogeo...
