A Bio-Inspired Method for Mathematical Optimization Inspired by Arachnida Salticidade
This paper proposes a new meta-heuristic called Jumping Spider Optimization Algorithm (JSOA), inspired by Arachnida Salticidae hunting habits. The proposed algorithm mimics the behavior of spiders in nature and mathematically models its hunting ...
