Benchmarking of heuristic optimization methods

It is short history when many heuristic optimization methods appear. As example Particle swarm optimization method (PSO) or Repulsive particle swarm optimization method (RPSO), Gravitational search algorithm (GSA), Central force optimization (CFO), Harmony search algorithm (HAS) etc. Those methods are working differently but all of them can optimize same problems. There is general question: Exists any standard benchmark which can be used for individual methods comparing? It is a bit hard to answer this question because it is possible to find some optimization problems which are widely used along some papers but in fact there does not exists summary which can be uses for standard evaluation of optimization process. This paper will describe set of benchmarks which can be used for evaluation of optimization process. As a part of paper some results of optimization and utilization of optimization methods will be included.
