AAO as a new strategy in modeling and simulation of constructional problems optimization

The article presents a new multi-criteria optimization method called Artificial Acari Optimization (AAO). AAO method was tested with five well-known benchmark structural problems i.e.: welded beam, pressure vessel, speed reducer, spring design and gear train problem. The results were compared on other representatives of Swarm Intelligence mainstream which are bee algorithms MBO, BCO and ABC. Numerous references show dominance of ABC over MBO and BCO. To check this, a detailed comparisons of MO results were made and introduced together with the results of the ABC algorithm. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
