It provides a comprehensive overview for researchers interested in optimization algorithms, but it is incremental as a review paper.
This paper reviews the bat algorithm, a bio-inspired optimization method introduced in 2010, summarizing its variants, applications, and future research directions.
Bat algorithm (BA) is a bio-inspired algorithm developed by Yang in 2010 and BA has been found to be very efficient. As a result, the literature has expanded significantly in the last 3 years. This paper provides a timely review of the bat algorithm and its new variants. A wide range of diverse applications and case studies are also reviewed and summarized briefly here. Further research topics are also discussed.
