─ Cuckoo Search (CS) is a new met heuristic algorithm. It is being used for solving optimization problem. It was developed in 2009 by XinShe Yang and Susah Deb. Uniqueness of this algorithm is the obligatory brood parasitism behavior of some cuckoo species along with the Levy Flight behavior of some birds and fruit flies. Cuckoo Hashing to Modified CS have also been discussed in this paper. CS ...

Precedence constrained sequencing problem (PCSP) is related to locate the optimal sequence with the shortest traveling time among all feasible sequences. In PCSP, precedence relations determine sequence of traveling between any two nodes. Various methods and algorithms for effectively solving the PCSP have been suggested. In this paper we propose a cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) for effectively ...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) techniques, mostly Back-Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) algorithm has been used as a tool for recognizing a mapping function among a known set of input and output examples. These networks can be trained with gradient descent back propagation. The algorithm is not definite in finding the global minimum of the error function since gradient descent may get stuck ...

Cuckoo algorithm is a novel optimization algorithm in the field of heuristic intelligence algorithms. Given the strong random leaping in solution space search, careful local searches are susceptible to falling into the local optimum. Thus, the latter phase of the optimization slows down and the accuracy diminishes. To improve the performance of the algorithm, this paper proposes an improved cuc...

This paper proposes an improved cuckoo search (ICS) algorithm to establish the parameters of chaotic systems. In order to improve the optimization capability of the basic cuckoo search (CS) algorithm, the orthogonal design and simulated annealing operation are incorporated in the CS algorithm to enhance the exploitation search ability. Then the proposed algorithm is used to establish parameters...

Hard optimization problems that cannot be solved within reasonable time by standard, mathematical, deterministic methods are of great practical interest. Metaheuristics inspired by nature were recently successfully used for such problems. These metaheuristics are based on random Monte-Carlo search guided by simulation of some nature intelligence, especially evolution and swarm intelligence. One...

Grid computing incorporates dispersed resources to work out composite technical, industrial, and business troubles. Thus a capable scheduling method is necessary for obtaining the objectives of grid. The disputes of parallel computing are commencing with the computing resources for the number of jobs and intricacy, craving, resource malnourishment, load balancing and efficiency. The risk stumbl...

In this paper, a Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) is proposed for solving environmental economic load dispatch (EELD) problem with quadratic fuel function. Cuckoo Search is a new meta-heuristic algorithm inspired from the obligate brood parasitism of some cuckoo species by laying their eggs in the nests of other host birds of other species for solving optimization problems with promising results. ...
