Abstract An important difficulty with multi-objective algorithms to analyze many-objective optimization problems (MaOPs) is the visualization of large dimensional Pareto front. This article has alleviated this issue by utilizing objective reduction approach in order to remove non-conflicting objectives from original objective set. The present work proposed formulation of objective reduction technique with multi-objective social spider optimization (MOSSO) algorithm to provide decision regarding conflict objectives and generate approximate Pareto front of non-dominated solutions. A comprehensive analysis of objective reduction approach is carried out with existingmulti-objective methods on many-objective DTLZ and WFG test suite which highlight the superiority of proposed technique. Further, the performance of proposed approach is evaluated on satellite images to detect cloudy region against various types of earth’s surfaces. The performance of proposed approach is compared against existing benchmark many-objective algorithm, NSGA-III in order to evaluate the potential of proposed method in clustering application. It is observed that obtained clustering results using reduced objective set of MOSSO algorithm provides almost equivalent accuracy with results obtained using NSGA-III with many-objective set.

The Social Spider Algorithm (SSA) was introduced based on the information-sharing foraging strategy of spiders to solve the continuous optimization problems. SSA was shown to have better performance than the other state-of-the-art meta-heuristic algorithms in terms of best-achieved fitness values, scalability, reliability, and convergence speed. By preserving all strengths and outstanding performance of SSA, we propose a novel algorithm named Discrete Social Spider Algorithm (DSSA), for solving discrete optimization problems by making some modifications to the calculation of distance function, construction of follow position, the movement method, and the fitness function of the original SSA. DSSA is employed to solve the symmetric and asymmetric traveling salesman problems. To prove the effectiveness of DSSA, TSPLIB benchmarks are used, and the results have been compared to the results obtained by six different optimization methods: discrete bat algorithm (IBA), genetic algorithm (GA), an island-based distributed genetic algorithm (IDGA), evolutionary simulated annealing (ESA), discrete imperialist competitive algorithm (DICA) and a discrete firefly algorithm (DFA). The simulation results demonstrate that DSSA outperforms the other techniques. The experimental results show that our method is better than other evolutionary algorithms for solving the TSP problems. DSSA can also be used for any other discrete optimization problem, such as routing problems.

The concept of bio-inspired algorithms is used in real-world problems to search the efficient problem-solving methods. Evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence are outstanding examples of nature-inspired solution techniques of metahuristics. In this paper, an effort has been made to propose a modified social spider algorithm to solve global optimization problems in the real world. Social spiders used the foraging strategy, vibrations on the spider web to determine the positions of prey. The selection of vibration, estimated new position and calculation of the fitness function, has been furnished in details way as compared to different previously proposed swarm intelligence algorithms. Moreover, experimental result has been carried out by modified social spider on series of widely-used benchmark problem with four benchmark algorithms. Furthermore, a modified form of the proposed algorithm has superior performance as compared to other state-of-the-art metaheuristics algorithms.

Purpose To design, control and evaluate photovoltaic (PV) systems, an accurate model is required. Accuracy of PV models depends on model parameters. This study aims to use a new algorithm called improved social spider algorithm (ISSA) to detect model parameters. Design/methodology/approach To improve performance of social spider algorithm (SSA), an elimination period is added. In addition, at the beginning of each period, a certain number of the worst solutions are replaced by new solutions in the search space. This allows the particles to find new paths to get the best solution. Findings In this paper, ISSA is used to estimate parameters of single-diode and double-diode models. In addition, effect of irradiation and temperature on I–V curves of PV modules is studied. For this purpose, two different modules called multi-crystalline (KC200GT) module and polycrystalline (SW255) are used. It should be noted that to challenge the performance of the proposed algorithm, it has been used to identify the parameters of a type of widely used module of fuel cell called proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Finally, comparing and analyzing of ISSA results with other similar methods shows the superiority of the presented method. Originality/value Changes in the spider’s movement process in the SSA toward the desired response have improved the algorithm’s performance. Higher accuracy and convergence rate, skipping local minimums, global search ability and search in a limited space can be mentioned as some advantages of this modified method compared to classic SSA.
