An object-oriented software implementation of a novel cuckoo search algorithm

摘要

This paper presents an object-oriented software system that implements a cuckoo search (CS) metaheuristic for unconstrained optimization problems. Yang and Deb developed cuckoo search algorithm in MATLAB and tested it on some standard benchmark functions as well as on some engineering optimization problems where it showed promising results. We developed our algorithm in JAVA programming language which is faster and easier for maintenance since it is object-oriented. The application includes user friendly graphical user interface (GUI) and it was successfully tested on standard benchmark functions for unconstrained problems.
