Ensemble of strategies and perturbation parameter based SOMA for constrained technological design optimization problem

Abstract

In this paper, we are introducing a novel ensemble based adaptive strategy for the Self Organizing Migrating Algorithm (SOMA), namely the "Ensemble of Strategies and Perturbation Parameter in SOMA" (ESP-SOMA). The proposed algorithm as well as several other state of the art selected metaheuristic algorithms are utilized in the task of optimization of waste processing batch reactor geometry and control. Since there is a growing demand for intelligent and fast problem solution or optimal utilization of resources in modern industrial field, especially in the Industry 4.0 era, this paper represents an insight into the applicability and effectivity of modern adaptive state of the art metaheuristic optimization algorithms in the task of highly constrained industrial design optimization problem. The simple statistical comparison of the results given by three different metaheuristic algorithms is also reported here. © 2019 IEEE.
