Biogeography-Based Optimization

This web site is dedicated to biogeography-based optimization (BBO) and related material. If you have any papers or software that you would like to be listed on this web page, please email the information to Dan Simon at d-dot-j-dot-simon-at-csuohio-dot-edu.

The original BBO paper can be downloaded from http://academic.csuohio.edu/simond/bbo. Note that the Matlab software on that web site is inefficient; you can download better software from the web site below.

MATLAB® software is available for discrete and continuous BBO. The code is designed so that it can be easily modified and customized for specific optimization problems by users who are familiar with MATLAB m-files.

An Adobe Flex graphical user interface is available for genetic algorithms and BBO:
