Simulated tornado optimization [PDF]

open access: yes2016 2nd International Conference of Signal Processing and Intelligent Systems (ICSPIS), 2016
We propose a swarm-based optimization algorithm inspired by air currents of a tornado. Two main air currents - spiral and updraft - are mimicked. Spiral motion is designed for exploration of new search areas and updraft movements is deployed for exploitation of a promising candidate solution.
