A Survey: Spider Monkey Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

Swarm intelligence is a one of the areas for evaluating the optimization states. Many algorithms have been developed by simulating the swarming behaviour of various creatures like ants, honey bees, fishes, birds and their results are found as very motivating for solving optimization problems. In this paper, a new approach for optimization is proposed by modelling the social behaviour of spider monkeys. Spider monkeys have been categorized as fission-fusion social structure based animals. The animals which follow fission-fusion social systems, initially work in a large group and based on need after some time, they divide themselves in smaller groups led by an adult female for foraging. There- fore, the proposed strategy broadly classified as inspiration from the intelligent foraging behaviour of fission-fusion social structure based animals.
