Abstract
AbstractExisting bio-inspired models are challenged with premature convergence among others. In this paper, an adaptive social spider colony optimisation model based on the foraging behaviour of social spider was proposed as an optimisation problem. The algorithm mimics the prey capture behaviour of the social spider in which, the spider senses the presence of the prey through vibrations transmitted along the web thread. Spiders are the search agents while the web is the search space of the optimisation problem. The natural or biological phenomenon of vibration was modeled using wave theory while optimisation theory was considered in optimizing the objective function of the optimisation problem. This objective function was considered to be the frequency of vibration of the spiders and the prey as this is the function that enables the spider differentiates the vibration of the prey from that of neighbouring spiders and therefore forages maximally. To address the parameter tuning problem, the search pattern...

In this paper, a bio-inspired optimisation model inspired by the foraging behaviour of a social spider was developed as global optimisation problem
This algorithm modelled this behaviour using optimisation and wave theories to optimize the objective function and vibration transmitted between the spiders and prey
Summary
Bio-inspired solutions are innovations inspired by nature or biology. Bio-inspired innovators are driven by how nature solves every problem encountered in life. It imitates natural way to solve a problem. It is a branch of artificial intelligence that deals with the cooperative behaviour of swarms of animals or insects that interact in a multifaceted way between individuals with no supervision or central controller. Such swarms include termites, bees, spiders whose colonies consist of the male, female, soldiers and foragers as the case may be. Ants forage by tracing the shortest path to food source through simple pheromone trail and cooperatively builds and maintains the ant hill, honey bees perform marriage and forages through attractive waggle dance, fireflies mate through light attraction while spiders forage and mate through the exchange of vibration cues among others
