The document describes the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA), a recent swarm intelligence algorithm. GOA mimics the behavior of grasshopper swarms and their social interactions. Each grasshopper in the algorithm represents a potential solution. The position of each grasshopper is determined by three forces: social interaction between grasshoppers, gravity, and wind. GOA balances exploration and exploitation to optimize problems and prevent premature convergence.

COMPARISON BETWEEN ARTIFICIAL BEE COLONY ALGORITHM, SHUFFLED FROG LEAPING ALG...cscpconf
In this paper three optimum approaches to design PID controller for a Gryphon Robot are presented. The three applied approaches are Artificial Bee Colony, Shuffled Frog Leaping algorithms and nero-fuzzy system. The design goal is to minimize the integral absolute error and reduce transient response by minimizing overshoot, settling time and rise time of step response. An Objective function of these indexes is defined and minimized applying Shuffled Frog Leaping (SFL) algorithm, Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm and Nero-Fuzzy System (FNN). After optimization of the objective function, the optimal parameters for the PID controller are adjusted. Simulation results show that FNN has a remarkable effect on
decreasing the amount of settling time and rise-time and eliminating of steady-state error while the SFL algorithm performs better on steady-state error and the ABC algorithm is better on decreasing of overshoot. In steady state manner, all of the methods react robustly to the disturbance, but FNN shows more stability in transient response.

A beamforming comparative study of least mean square, genetic algorithm and g...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Multipath environment is a limitation fact in optimized usage of wireless networks. Using smart antenna and beamforming algorithms contributed to that subscribers get a higher-gain signal and better directivity as well as reduce the consumed power for users and the mobile base stations by adjusting the appropriate weights for each element in the antenna array that leads to reducing interference anddirecting the main beam to wanted user. In this paper, the performance of three of beamforming algorithms in multipath environment in terms of directivity and side lobe level reduction has been studied and compared, which are least mean square (LMS), genetic algorithm (GA) and grey wolf optimization (GWO) technique. The simulation result appears that LMS algorithm aids us to get the best directivity followed by the GWO, and we may get most sidelobe level reduction by using the GA algorithm, followed by LMS algorithm in second rank.
An improved ant colony algorithm based onIJCI JOURNAL
This paper presents an improved chaotic ant colony system algorithm (ICACS) for solving combinatorial
optimization problems. The existing algorithms still have some imperfections, we use a combination of two
different operators to improve the performance of algorithm in this work. First, 3-opt local search is used
as a framework for the implementation of the ACS to improve the solution quality; Furthermore, chaos is
proposed in the work to modify the method of pheromone update to avoid the algorithm from dropping into
local optimum, thereby finding the favorable solutions. From the experimental results, we can conclude
that ICACS has much higher quality solutions than the original ACS, and can jump over the region of the
local optimum, and escape from the trap of a local optimum successfully and achieve the best solutions.
Therefore, it’s better and more effective algorithm for TSP.
A Firefly Algorithm for Optimizing Spur Gear Parameters Under Non-Lubricated ...irjes
Firefly algorithm is one of the emerging evolutionary approaches for complex and non-linear
optimization problems. It is inspired by natural firefly‟s behavior such as movement of fireflies based on
brightness and by overcoming the constraints such as light absorption, obstacles, distance, etc. In this research,
firefly‟s movement had been simulated computationally to identify the best parameters for spur gear pair by
considering the design and manufacturing constraints. The proposed algorithm was tested with the traditional
design parameters and found the results are at par in less computational time by satisfying the constraints.

Research on Chaotic Firefly Algorithm and the Application in Optimal Reactive...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Firefly algorithm (FA) is a newly proposed swarm intelligence optimization algorithm. Like many other general swarm intelligence optimization algorithms, the original version of FA is easy to trap into local optima. In order to overcome this drawback, the chaotic firefly algorithm (CFA) is proposed. The methods of chaos initialization, chaos population regeneration and linear decreasing inertia weight have been introduced into the original version of FA so as to increase its global search mobility for robust global optimization. The CFA is calculated in Matlab and is examined on six benchmark functions. In order to evaluate the engineering application of the algorithm, the reactive power optimization problem in IEEE 30 bus system is solved by CFA. The outcomes show that the CFA has better performance compared to the original version of FA and PSO.

AN IMPROVED MULTIMODAL PSO METHOD BASED ON ELECTROSTATIC INTERACTION USING NN...ijaia
In this paper, an improved multimodal optimization (MMO) algorithm,calledLSEPSO,has been proposed. LSEPSO combinedElectrostatic Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) algorithm and a local search method and then madesome modification onthem. It has been shown to improve global and local optima finding ability of the algorithm. This algorithm useda modified local search to improve particle's personal best, which usedn-nearest-neighbour instead of nearest-neighbour. Then, by creating n new points among each particle and n nearest particles, it triedto find a point which could be the alternative of particle's personal best. This methodprevented particle's attenuation and following a specific particle by its neighbours. The performed tests on a number of benchmark functions clearly demonstratedthat the improved algorithm is able to solve MMO problems and outperform other tested algorithms in this article.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

3. Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA)
(History and main idea)
Grasshopper optimization algorithm is a
recent swarm intelligence algorithm
developed by Mirjalili at. el
GOA is a population based method
GOA mimicking the behavior of
grasshopper swarms and their social
interaction.
4. Nature behavior of grasshopper
Grasshoppers are destructive insects according to
their damage to agriculture.
They life has two phases, nymph and adulthood.
The nymph grasshoppers have no wings so they
move slowly and eat all vegetation on their path.
After period of time they grow up and become
adult with wings to form a swarm in the air and
move fast to large scale region.
5. Nature behavior of grasshopper (Cont.)
Although grasshoppers are usually seen
individually in nature, they join in one of the
largest swarm of all creatures.
The size of the swarm may be of continental scale
and a nightmare for farmers.
The unique aspect of the grasshopper swarm is
that the swarming behavior is found in both
nymph and adulthood.
6. The main characteristic of the grasshopper
swarm.
The main characteristic of the swarm in the larval
phase is slow movement and small steps of the
grasshoppers.
Long-range and abrupt movement is the
essential feature of the swarm in adulthood.
Food source seeking is another important
characteristic of the swarming of grasshoppers by
dividing the search process into two tendencies:
exploration and exploitation.
7. Grasshopper optimization algorithm
Grasshopper optimization algorithm is a recent
population based algorithm, each grasshopper
represents a solution in the population.
The position of each grasshopper in the swarm is
based on three forces.
The social interaction between it and the other
grasshoppers Si, the gravity force on it Gi and the
wind advection Ai.
8. Grasshopper optimization algorithm (cont.)
The final form of the three affected forces on each grasshopper can defined as
follow.
The social interaction force between each grasshopper and the other
grasshopper can be defined as follow.
Where dij is the distance between the grasshopper i and grasshopper j
9. Grasshopper optimization algorithm (cont.)
s is a function represents the strength of two social force, attraction and
repulsion between grasshoppers, it can be defined as follow.
Where f, l are the intensity of the attraction and the attractive length scale.
The social behavior is affected by the changing of the parameters f, l.
10. Grasshopper optimization algorithm (cont.)
The repulsion force happen when the distance between two grasshoppers is
in the interval [0, 2.079], and if the distance between two grasshoppers is
2.079, there is neither attraction nor repulsion which form a comfortable zone.
If the distance greater than 2.079 the attraction force increases then it
decreases gradually when it reach to 4.
When the distance between two grasshopper greater than 10, the function s
fails to apply forces between grasshoppers.
In order to solve this problem, the distance of grasshoppers is mapped in the
interval [1,4].
11. Grasshopper optimization algorithm (cont.)
The second affected force on the position of the grasshopper is the gravity
force which calculated as follow.
Where g is the gravitational constant and is a center of earth unity victor.
12. Grasshopper optimization algorithm (cont.)
The nymph grasshoppers movements correlated with wind direction because
they have no wings. The wind direction can be calculated as follow.
Where u is a constant drift and is a wind direction unity vector.
13. Grasshopper optimization algorithm (cont.)
The position of the grasshopper can be calculated as follow.
In order to solve optimization problems and prevent the grasshoppers to
reach the comfort zone quickly and the swarm does not converge to the target
(global optimum), the previous equation can be proposed as follow.
14. Grasshopper optimization algorithm (cont.)
Where ubd, lbd are the upper and lower bound in the dth dimension. is the
target value in the dth dimension.
The parameter c is called a decreasing coefficient and it is responsible for
reducing the comfort zone, repulsion zone and the attraction zone.
The coefficient c is decreased proportional to the iterations number to balance
exploration and exploitation in the grasshopper algorithm and it can be
calculated as follow.
15. Grasshopper optimization algorithm (cont.)
where cmax, cmin are the maximum and minimum values, l is the current
iteration and L is the maximum number of iterations.
The flowchart of the grasshopper optimization algorithm are shown in the
following slide.
16.
17. • Initialization. The algorithm starts by setting the initial values of the maximum
and minimum values of the decreasing coefficient parameter, cmax, cmin
respectively, the parameters l, f and the maximum number of iterations maxitr.
•Initial population and evaluation. The initial population is generated randomly
and each solution in the population is evaluated by calculating its value by using
the objective function.
•Assigning the overall best solution. After evaluating all the solutions in the
initial population, the overall (global) best solution is assigned according to its
value.
•Updating the decreasing coefficient parameter. At each iteration, the coefficient
parameter c is updating in order to shrink the comfort, repulsion and attraction
zones as shown in Equation 13.
Steps of the grasshopper optimization algorithm (cont.)
18. Mapping the distance of grasshoppers. The function s as shown in Equation 8 is
responsible for dividing the search space into comfort, repulsion and attraction
zones, however its ability decreases to zero when the distance between two
grasshoppers is greater than 10.
In order to solve this problem the distance between the grasshopper mapped to
the interval [1,4].
Updating solution. Each solution in the population is updated based on the
distance between it and the other solutions, the decreasing coefficient parameter
c and the global best solution in the population as shown in Equation 12.
Steps of the grasshopper optimization algorithm (cont.)
19. • Solution boundaries violation. After updating the solution, if it violates its
upper and lower boundaries, it rests to its domain.
•Visiting all the solutions in population. The previous three steps are repeated
for all the solutions in the populations.
•Solutions evaluations. The solutions in the population are updated and
evaluated and the best global solution is assigned.
•Termination criteria. The overall operations are repeated until reaching to the
maximum number of iterations maxitr which is the termination criterion in our
work.
•Returning the best solution. The best globe solution T is returned when the
algorithm reaches to its maximum number of iteration.
