TSA (Tunicate Swarm Algorithm)

Information

• The TSA (Tunicate Swarm Algorithm) is a bio-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm.
• Tunicates are bright bio-luminescent, cylindrical-shaped creatures found at depths of 500-800 m in the ocean with swarm behavior and jet propulsion being the main motivation behind TSA.
• TSA imitates the jet propulsion and swarm behaviors of tunicates during navigation and foraging to optimize non-linear constrained problems.
• Nature-inspired algorithms, especially swarm intelligence algorithms, have gained significant attention from both industry and academia.
• TSA may be extended to solve multi-objective optimization problems, and binary or many objective versions of TSA could be significant contributions in the future.
