Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) is an optimization algorithm developed by Mirjalili and Lewis in 2016. An overview of WOA is described in this paper, rooted from the bubble-net hunting strategy, besides an overview of WOA applications that are used to solve optimization problems in various categories. The best solution has been determined to make something as functional and effective as possible through the optimization process by minimizing or maximizing the parameters involved in the problems. Research and engineering attention have been paid to Meta-heuristics for purposes of decision-making given the growing complexity of models and the needs for quick decision making in the engineering. An updated review of research of WOA is provided in this paper for hybridization, improved, and variants. The categories included in the reviews are Engineering, Clustering, Classification, Robot Path, Image Processing, Networks, Task Scheduling, and other engineering applications. According to the reviewed literature, WOA is mostly used in the engineering area to solve optimization problems. Providing an overview and summarizing the review of WOA applications are the aims of this paper.
