A survey on binary metaheuristic algorithms and their engineering applications

Abstract

This article presents a comprehensively state-of-the-art investigation of the engineering applications utilized by binary metaheuristic algorithms. Surveyed work is categorized based on application scenarios and solution encoding, and describes these algorithms in detail to help researchers choose appropriate methods to solve related applications. It is seen that transfer function is the main binary coding of metaheuristic algorithms, which usually adopts Sigmoid function. Among the contributions presented, there were different implementations and applications of metaheuristic algorithms, or the study of engineering applications by different objective functions such as the single- and multi-objective problems of feature selection, scheduling, layout and engineering structure optimization. The article identifies current troubles and challenges by the conducted review, and discusses that novel binary algorithm, transfer function, benchmark function, time-consuming problem and application integration are need to be resolved in future.

A Systematic Review of the Whale Optimization Algorithm: Theoretical Foundation, Improvements, and Hybridizations

“…Hence, the binarization approach maps continuous search space to a binary using binarization techniques [ 124 ]. In the binarization approach, the continuous value of each dimension is mapped to either 1 or 0 [ 125 ]. Thus, in the binary problem defined in Eq.…”

Intrusion detection model for software-defined networking based on feature selection

“…The "certain probability" here means that the new solution is accepted if it is better than the current solution, otherwise the new solution is accepted based on the Metropolis criterion. The probability of acceptance is given by equation (4).…”

“…Some advanced threats may require deep inspection of network packets, which is more difficult in SDN [3]. With the development of metaheuristic algorithms [4] and their widespread application to solve combinatorial optimization problems as well as engineering design problems, many intelligent optimization algorithms have also been widely applied to the data optimization and dimensionality reduction problems of SDN intrusion detection systems. Meenaxi et al [5] combined software-defined networks with machine learning techniques to classify data traffic using three supervised learning models, SVM, KNN and NB.…”

Towards secure IoT networks: A comprehensive study of metaheuristic algorithms in conjunction with CNN using a self-generated dataset

“…Our specific focus is on developing a customized dataset intended to mimic real-world IoT scenarios impacted by different types of security attacks. In addition, a range of metaheuristic algorithms [ [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] ], such as PSO [ 14 ], GA [ 15 ], GWO [ 16 ], ALO [ 17 ], and AO [ 18 ], will be tested alongside CNNs [ [19] , [20] ]. The goal is to find and tweak the hyperparameters that help CNNs work at their best and increase the accuracy and effectiveness of intrusion detection in IoT networks.…”
