Metaheuristics in nature-inspired algorithms [PDF]
To many people, the terms nature-inspired algorithm and metaheuristic are interchangeable. However, this contemporary usage is not consistent with the original meaning of the term metaheuristic, which referred to something closer to a design pattern than to an algorithm.

A Hybrid Algorithm for Metaheuristic Optimization
We propose a novel, flexible algorithm for combining together metaheuristicoptimizers for non-convex optimization problems. Our approach treatsthe constituent optimizers as a team of complex agents that communicateinformation amongst each other at various intervals during the simulationprocess.

Overview of Metaheuristic Algorithms
Metaheuristic algorithms are optimization algorithms that are used to address complicated issues that cannot be solved using standard approaches. These algorithms are inspired by natural processes such as genetics, swarm behavior, and evolution, and they are used to explore a broad search space to identify the global optimum of a problem.
