Desert ecosystems are characterized by extreme environments and highly adaptable biomes, characterized by water scarcity, extreme temperatures, distinct circadian rhythms, and significant wind disturbances. This paper proposes an optimization algorithm inspired by the overall desert ecology—the Desert Ecosystem Inspired Optimization (DEIO) algorithm ...openaire +1 more source
