Firefly algorithm: an optimization solution in big data processing for the healthcare and engineering sector

The firefly algorithm is nature-inspired, and it belongs to swarm intelligence category optimization. Firefly algorithm is the latest algorithm developed under the nature-inspired algorithm (NIA), which is fruitful for business and engineering optimization. So, for business optimization, healthcare industries are affected through big data where big data affects in different ways such as patients understanding and care, improved personalized care, analysis trends, predict health outcomes, etc. Big data analysis is required to optimize a broad set of data generated by the different mediums in the healthcare and engineering sectors. A firefly algorithm can be used to optimize data analysis and results. Therefore, the firefly algorithm becomes essential to optimize the healthcare sector application process and provides optimized solutions. This paper discussed firefly algorithm implementations, optimization solutions for an engineering problem, fireflies' algorithm (FA) performance through MATLAB 2019b, formulation, optimization problems in healthcare, firefly algorithms in other applications, and conclusions. This paper focuses on how the firefly algorithm (FA) can be used, modified, and merged with other optimization algorithms to solve engineering problems.
