Design and Development of Soft Computing Toolbox Using Metaheuristics

Abstract

In recent years, various soft computing optimization techniques have been developed metaheuristic optimization methods are one of them. This paper presents a MATLAB based optimization toolbox for experimentation and study of metaheuristic techniques for solving optimization problems. The toolbox provides a graphical user interface to perform the experimentation, which shows convergence curve, box plot, and corresponding optimal solutions along with standard deviation and mean. The toolbox helps to find efficient algorithm for given optimization problem.
