Comparing election algorithm and Election Campaign Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

This paper attempts to compare the two socio-inspired based metaheuristics algorithms which were introduced recently. These metaheuristics optimizations and search techniques "Election algorithm, and Election Campaign Optimization Algorithm"were inspired by socio-political processes of human ideologies. This paper gives an overview of these algorithms with respect to their control parameters, components, intensification and diversification as well as their applications. It also makes a simple comparison between the two metaheuristics algorithms in terms of quality of solution, ease of finding correct control parameters and further explored their strengths and limitations as well as their superiority over other metaheuristics algorithms.
