Metaheuristic Algorithms: Theory and Applications

Metaheuristic is a collective concept of a series of intelligent strategies to enhance the efficiency of heuristic procedures. Metaheuristic algorithms are becoming an important part of modern optimization. A wide range of metaheuristic algorithms have emerged over the last two decades, and are becoming increasingly popular. This article presents a brief overview of the scientific research on new metaheuristic algorithms, as well as their modifications and hybridizations and its various fields of application. The results presented are limited to those proposed by scientists from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences for the last 20 years.
